CD and MP3/WMA Playback

iPod Control
Enjoy even more connections and full operation with the optional KS-PD100 adapter with all three units. The iPod can be controlled from the headunit, and song information is displayed with the same categories and layers as an iPod.
AM/FM Radio with HS-IV Tuner
The KW-XG700's AM/FM radio has standard features like automatic presetting of strongest signals.
The HS-IV tuner features higher sensitivity, thanks to three IF bandwidths (wide, middle and narrow). It also includes AM Noise Canceller plus upgraded IF filters that help avoid the distortion caused by interference from adjacent stations.
To get even more from the airwaves, add a JVC adapter for Sirius or XM SAT Radio reception.
Auxiliary Input
Use the front auxiliary input to connect external audio devices like MP3 players.

Current Owner´s Review:Excellent unit for the price,
January 12, 2008 This unit had all the features that I wanted in a double-DIN headunit. The only thing I would improve is the trim piece that is included was not wide enough for fitment in my Acura, and I had to glue an extra piece of black plastic behind the included trim to fill the 1/8" space on each side. The other minor complaint that I deducted was its somewhat weak tuner section with was not as good as my provious unit, a Pioneer. I noticed some stations had static at some places in my neighborhood which previously were clear. Otherwise, I think this is a great double-DIN headunit for someone who does not want a touch-screen, and who want real buttons.
