I didn’t get a picture but it was more or less the model pictured here. The radio was showing a bunch of stuff they didn’t want to see, turns out it was stuck on “demo mode” and listing a bunch of features. The interface was unintuitive but luckily he kept a manual, so I navigated through the settings menu and turned off the demo. Sorted.
That’s an elderly person’s car stereo. 💀 Any youth I still had just evaporated.
No cassette, CD AND MP3? That’s a radio player from the future!
WMA as well! And for those who don’t know, that and MP3 applies to what is on the CDs.
Does it have Bluetooth though. That’s the future-proof feature.
If there’s any more left to evaporate, JVC basically hasn’t been a brand you can buy in over 15 years
JVC doesn’t exist anymore?
They merged with Kenwood at the end of the 00’s and basically exited the consumer market after that.
I imagine some private equity company owns the brand itself now, but I’ve honestly not seen it used on anything since the time of the merger
Aww really? That’s the one I used to buy.
You don’t know how old they were when they bought it though.
More of a comment about myself…
Right there with you bud. Just trying to find a silver lining.
Check your hair
Doh!
Greetings, fellow geezer!
He replaced it in the last few years but just didn’t know how to work it. One of those things when you “press something” and it stops working the way you want.
TBF I always find these “futuristic design” car stereos inscrutable, and I fit into the age bracket of people who grew up with them.
Car manufacturers themselves were always better at creating simple UIs for their own stereos, in my experience.
Yeah man, don’t leave the face plate in the car… You gotta carry that thing. Someone might wanna steal it.
We’re old friend 😭
There are people driving who are younger than the last generation of cars where aftermarket radios were commonly installed
Same! My back hurts now!
