Reviews of the JVC KD-BT1
-
CNET Review
The Good: The JVC KD-BT1 comes with a wealth of Bluetooth communications and audio capabilities, in addition to a good range of digital audio-playback support. Its text-reading function and USB connectivity are particular favorites.
The Bad: The KD-BT1's small buttons, complex menus, and relatively dull screen impede its usability while on the road.
The Bottom Line: The JVC KD-BT-1 offers a hatful of features for its price. However, it can be tricky to master all the controls, and you'll need a seriously tricked-out phone to make the most of it.
