ive not bought it yet but my finger hovers on the "buy now" button. has anyone found or know of any decent reviews on the JVC KD-AVX2? I ask because X1 had a few niggling issues such as no screensaver or not being able to view user images/customised interfaces...

no subwoofer, standard fronts (looking to upgrade to separate components) and rears

ZG002 · 24 Apr 2006 at 01:13

will be fine for standard speakers

a lot of people power components with a amp of some kind.

and of course a sub would need a amp if you ever wanted one..

I've had the AVX1 since it was launched and it's great, by far the best HU I've ever had. I haven't really found any niggles to be honest although I am tempted to replace it with the AVX2.

Tinders · 24 Apr 2006 at 08:24

Sold my X1 last week in preparation for this unit, the x1 deffo had some niggles, ie the fact that it would start from the beginning of a track everytime instead of continuing if the traffic news cut in etc.

SQ wasnt bad, but not quite upto my old pioneer 77mp.

Any ideas on price?

L0rdMike · 24 Apr 2006 at 09:15

Around £500 I think.

saitrix · 24 Apr 2006 at 09:23

Yup £500 at CAD, the AVX1 is now £310.

L0rdMike · 24 Apr 2006 at 09:25

Gonna be getting mine when I get paid I thinks.

Pug · 24 Apr 2006 at 09:27

£450, and can reccomend them - bought my pioneer AVIC-X1R from them

hmmm strange, it doesnt seem to have a video in like the X1

D4VE · 24 Apr 2006 at 14:38

I've had a couple of JVC units, they are very good.

Can you play a TFT screen off of it?

output to a TFT? I think you can (or at least I hope you can, i dont see why they would get rid of that and the video in

)

eidolon · 24 Apr 2006 at 21:53

When you output to a TFT you get a list of the MP3 folders and stuff, it's a pretty cool feature.

L0rdMike · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:15

Ive had a screen for ages now, just been waiting for this to come out to try it with.

L0rdMike · 27 Apr 2006 at 01:03

Just ordered mine so will have it all set up soon.

nice one

just confirmed it DOES have video in and video out!

L0rdMike, make sure to take lots of pics (always need someoen else to take the first step first!)

will you fit it yourself?
