I do have one complaint with it so far. Well, two.
First, my Vette didn't have a VSS, so I had to buy the speed pulse generator. That's been working fairly well, but it took a while to get working right.
Second, and most importantly, the directions are too quiet. Even if I turn the volume up all the way on the voice direction menu. The problem is no matter what you choose for an option regarding your music (volume down, mute, etc), it only does it for the front speakers. So if you're like me, you've got your music fully balanced around the drivers seat. This means I've got most of the music going to the 6x9's in the back, which means I can't hear Dorthy (that's what I call my GPS's voice) over the music. I'm gonna get on the horn with JVC once I get my Vette back and see if there's a way to fix that, because otherwise the voice directions are useless to me, unless I have the music off.
Otherwise it's a GREAT system. Loud, clear, etc. The DVD's play very well while driving. At least that's what my passengers say. The ipod adapter works most excellent, and my favorite feature, the bluetooth adapter, is absolutely phenomenal.

Well, it's there, technically. It's just not the correct output for the stereo. I tapped into it, and the stereo doesn't recognize it.
When I went to a car stereo place to ask about this (pretty decent one in the area) they showed me a diagram to add relays and amplifiers to the signal.
So while technically it does have a VSS, it's not the correct output for the head unit. I was tempted to build the circuit, to make it work...but I just broke down and got the speed pulse generator.
