JVC KD-LX1 Car CD Player

Pros: Oooh. . . she's a pretty one
Cons: Weak power output, flimsy design, doesn't fool thieves, one preamp output

Ok, ok, let’s try something here, mmkay? I’m going to run around lookin’ all pretty, occasionally yelling at people, struttin’ my stuff like a peacock on heroine. Then, I’m going to dress all in black, and expect no one to see me. Sound like a good...

Pros: Looks cool. Hides away w/ no detachable face.
Cons: Reliability issues, average sound quality, almost no features

As a Car Audio Employee at Best Buy, I have compared this product
with others in a similar price range. I am aware of its strengths
and weaknesses, as well as reliability issues. (read on...)

The JVC LX-1 Kameleon is the older...

Pros: good display, and awesome anti-theft
Cons: Cheap product, poor sound, confusing set-up

This cd player is all about apperance. It looks awesome and the when the face automaticaly cover the unit and its shelded it looks great. But the fact is the sound quality is nowhere near where it should be. In my past experiences with JVC products I...

Pros: self-hiding face plate, graphic screen
Cons: inconvenient button spacing, features limited

This model is great for show and tell, but the sound quality is not too great. However, there are some useful features. The anti-theft system is a nice feature. But experienced stereo thieves will spot this. Unlike the Kenwood mask system which...

Pros: motorized face, cool display, high power, changer controls
Cons: none

After replacing my JVC KD-940 I was very leary about putting another one of their products into my car. After seeing the KD-LX1 however my mind was changed.

The KD-LX1 does not have a detachable face. It works on the age old prophecy that...

Pros: looks great, blends in
Cons: none

This stereo looks so cool! If you have not seen this stereo work before, when you turn it off or the car off, the stereo screen automatically goes black and the buttons fold inward into the stereo. It does not even look like a stereo is in your car,...

Pros: Solidly built - very good sound
Cons: Little tiny wheeny buttons

I have to admit I was a little aprehensive about buying another JVC car stereo product. I previously had a RF JVC 12 CD changer attached to my Chrysler Infinity car stereo. This unit was not solidly built as I was soon to find out (an improperly...

Pros: Disappears, Lots of handy features
Cons: ???

I bought a '99 Grand Am and I have loved it, except for one thing... it didn't have CD player. A friend of mine had just bought the KD XL3. I fell in love with his from the start, and figured that's exactly what I needed in my car. I bought the KD...

Pros: Sound, Looks, Features.
Cons: That flimsy piece of plastic for the buttons

I have been the proud owner of a JVC Kameleon for the last two years. I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla, and the day I brought it, the first thing I went to do was go have a Kameleon Deck put in it. My father has one in his BMW, my brother has one in his ...

Pros: CD Text is awesome, OK sound quality, easy to install
Cons: Cruise feature is annoying, graphics are dull, anti-theft design not so great

The KD-LX1 JVC cd player is a quality stereo, however it is not worth the money you spend on it. You can easily a lot less money on a different player and get the same quality.

The installation is terrific, and easy to do. The sound quality...

Pros: great look
Cons: nothing

I just received this player for Christmas, and I can say that I'm glad I got it. It was a snap to install. Just plug a few things in, and then hit play, and begin listening to great sound. This is a great player, as well as the visual effects of the...

Pros: BBE feature, no ugly buttons or knobs
Cons: Feels flimsy, not good for tilted dashes

I bought this unit to replace the stock CD player in my '99 Eclipse. I bought it on my past experience with JVC products (which I've been using for over 11 years) and also due to it's now-you-see-me-now-do-don't feature. I am not entirely happy with this...

Pros: Neat Face Plate...Good Security
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

This is one of the most "flashiest" in dash CD players i've ever dealt with. That's why I bought it. The reason I took it back 3 weeks later is because IT DOES NOT WORK. Motorized Face Plates evidently have a little bit of ironing out to...

Pros: Turns Black, Cruise, Song Select,
Cons: CD accessibility

I only bought the stereo at first because it was so cheap. To tell you the truth I've never owned a JVC product. I usually go with AIWA or SONY. Well after I got it installed I was looking through the manual and I saw "Cruise Control" Now...

Pros: Kameleon Hide-Away Feature
Cons: No Security Code

This Stereo was purchased after someone stole my Pioneer Deck. I was looking for an automated faceplate concealer because I am just lazy to always put away my faceplate. The JVC KD-LX10 is exactly was I was looking for. The faceplate is motorized to...
