Customer Reviews For Audiovox Car CNP2000UC XM Radio Direct 2 Add-on Car Stereo Receiver with Mini-Tuner

Worked great for first 3 weeks
 
Review Date: October 9, 2009
Reviewer: bassicsteve, Iowa
I got this receiver to use with a new Sony satellite-ready AM/FM/CD deck (CDXGT630UI) I bought to replace a factory stereo. The CNPSON1 XM radio adapter (also bought on Amazon) is also required to use this XM radio with that deck.

Since I bought the deck at BestBuy, I had them install this XM radio and the adapter along with the deck, and I couldn't be happier. I switch the deck's source to "XM" and I'm able to browse the XM channels and set up 3 banks of XM channel presets. The CNP2000UC has performed flawlessly with no issues during the month since the install.

Since the adapter and XM receiver are installed behind the dash, there are no cigarette lighter plug-ins for the XM radio and no unsightly wires hanging about, as I had previously with an XM "Roady2" add-on. This was definitely a worthwhile purchase - one I'm happy to recommend to anyone who wants a clean XM radio install and enhanced ease of use.

** UPDATE ** The XM receiver worked great for 22 days after it was professionally installed then, as I was driving down the interstate, the radio's audio was abruptly replaced by a loud hum. If I switch channels, I can still see on my Sony CD deck's display the song that should be playing on that XM channel. So, the XM receiver is at least still receiving a signal. I contacted Audiovox support and they said that I should try re-flashing (reprogramming) the radio which, of course, means pulling the deck and the XMDirect2 radio out of the dash. Audiovox support said that this *might* fix the problem but, then again, it might not. In other words, the radio might work for a while again and then go dead - again. Meanwhile, I'll have to pay BestBuy to remove/re-install at least once and, most likely, a second time.

Audiovox Support said that, if re-flashing the unit doesn't fix the problem, I should contact them to arrange a return. Of course, doing so doesn't inspire any confidence that I won't have the same problem with the replacement unit. My advice to a buyer: stick with an outboard, portable XM unit. The wires from your cigarette lighter adapter and XM antenna may be an ugly necessity for a portable XM unit but at least you won't have to pay an installer multiple times to install/replace defective merchandise. Boo, Audiovox - boo!
Works Great

Reviewer: J. Mckinsey,
This unit hooked right up to my JVC head unit with no problems, works like a charm, easy to install and get up and running. The other review for the product must have been from the technologically challenged! You will need a Windows XP computer to make this unit work!!!
Good product, but for the download on Audiovox site.
 
Review Date: February 16, 2009
Reviewer: Jason S. Yeager, Napa, California United States
I purchased this product to work with a Kenwood KDC-X692. When I went to the Audiovox website to download the software for this unit, it would not allow me to do so. I then realized that the software only works on computers running Windows XP. It will not work with Windows Vista. Audiovox really needs to get it together and get software that will run on Vista. I ended up using a friends computer to get the software and it downloaded without a hitch. Ultimately the product works great.
Come on, you can do a better job.
 
Review Date: February 1, 2010
Reviewer: S. Smith, Orlando, FL
Ok, so this is the product that I needed and it fit like it was supposed to. I get my XM through my stereo. Problems are just how horrible the instructions are. I believe that they needed to do a much better job. The programing is a hassle, but just follow the instructions the other reviewer left below and you will get through it. You do need to know how to use a computer a little, but if your installing this yourself, I think you should be able to follow those instructions.

The other thing missing from the instructions is that the yellow and black wires coming out of the required adapter cable need to be hooked up to power and ground (I'm using Audiovox Car CNPALP1 Alpine Adapter Cable for NP2000UC). Nowhere in either instruction manual does it even mention these wires! I had to do internet searches to make sure that this was the problem when it didn't turn on (since I didn't hook these wires up to anything).

So, if this is the product you NEED, then it does work and you will get your XM if all is done properly. Just don't expect to rely on the instructions provided by Audiovox! They need to fix their manuals before selling the product!

Great music sound quality, bluetooth call volume very low.
 
Review Date: March 24, 2010
Reviewer: John M Burris II,
I purchased two of these units for my wife and I. When I hooked it up to my iPhone and iTouch, I was more than pleased with the music quality and sound volume. I had no static, living in a big city with almost every channel taken I was pleased to see it work so well. The remote works great with skipping forward and backwards, as well as the menu button to select your playlists, genres, albums, artists etc.

What kept me from giving this product 5 stars is the bluetooth volume. The sound is so low you need to turn your volume up almost all the way, so when the call ends you need to quickly turn down the volume or you might blow your speakers. Plus the person on the other end says that you sound as if you are talking from far away.

In all, I can't complain and I would recommend this product to someone else. I've tried a few other units out but this is the best one so far.
Cheap plastic piece of crap
 
Review Date: June 7, 2010
Reviewer: Patrick Holt, San Antonio, TX USA
This is a piece of crap. The unit I received had a screw rattling around inside of it. And now not even 20 days into having it, it will not turn on anymore. The box it was received in looked like something you would find it packaged in if you bought it at a flea market.

I will not be be buying another product from this company.
Not what I thought
 
Review Date: June 13, 2010
Reviewer: JKBAU,
I bought this after looking at many different models. My car's lighter position is in a strange spot and I needed dock that had a flexible arm. I saw that there were some photos on the listing that showed this arm and some that showed a very short plug in. I figured that the arm was an option that came with it. It does not. Without that arm, it really doesn't work for me.

I don't understand the remote control. The only thing I could get it to do is pause and play and even then it was not reliable. There is also a printed display on the remote that has nothing to do with anything. Very annoying actually.

I didn't even get around to trying out the bluetooth. I don't really care to. I'm sending this back.

The car radio is the latest in the world of stereo. Precedence was only stereo. Stereo first emerged in 1930. But in 1950, early stereo becomes accessible to people. But the 21 century, the advent of car radios. With the help of new technologies, the 21st century, has enabled radios, supporting new audio formats.

There are several new formatsavailable for car radios now. In this article we will discuss all the new audio formats.

Previously, a machine used to have a radio in his dashboard and two speakers in front doors. But now times have changed. Today, technology has so much to the car radio are competitive and advanced stereo.

Dolby

Dolby is an audio format used by excellent radios.Dolby really affect the sound and reduce background noise or hiss noise prevalent in systems with low quality. May be effective in the cassette tape, because of background noise prevalent in the cassette.

Surround sound

Surround sound is actually a power that makes the listener feel that the sound came from almost all directions. Gone are the days when the sound came first from left and right speakers. Now the voices from the left, right, top center,down, almost in every direction.

DSP

The form is filled with DSP Digital Signal Processing. DSP creates a particular kind of effect is called psycho-acoustic effect. This special effect was created by a delay, and also affects the audio signals. This effect actually creates an extra sound that does not exist in the first place. Actual feeds a series of echo. All are predictive. And these echoes of special effects. Many models contain different settings, jazz club, stadium, concert hall, etc.

MP3

MP3 is one of the most popular audio formats. MP3 prior created just for stereo. But now, car radios include this format. MP3 is a special format that allows the CD to hold a large number of titles / tracks. If you got into the car, so you can get enough of music or other data, can compress a CD and will be able to play in your> Car Stereo.

Sometimes the MP3 format at the expense of sound quality due to compression. But if this little incident may be justified as an MP3 can help in many ways. The best part about this is that it saves a lot of space. Previously, we had enough CDs in the car. But now you can play all your favorite songs simply playing a CD.

There are some changes in the MP3 format, which recently took place. Now, car stereoconsists of a small computer that can read MP3. And this computer does not have a CD of MP3s. The data on this computer can be uploaded directly from your home PC. It contains a portable hard drive with this work can be done. The hard drive must be connected via the USB port.

RDS

RDS or Radio Data System is a very radio-equipped car was set up. Allows you to listen to all radio stations in the city. It also offers some specialfeatures. To listen to a particular type of song, country song says, you can choose the category and name of the radio station to find out what plays this type of song. You can also select the traffic updates. If you drive or TA, so the radio will automatically switch to switch the channel during the time traffic updates.

Customer Reviews For JVC KW-XG500 Double DIN In-Dash CD Receiver with Front AUX Input J-Bus Expandable (Black)

Replaced stock stereo in our 4runner
 
Review Date: January 12, 2010
Reviewer: J. Brininger, Santa Cruz, CA
This is a great stereo that replaced the stock 2din cassette/cd player in our 2002 4runner. It worked out great and I did the install myself with a little reading online. It was a snap. I bought the Metra toyota harness and just crimped it to the JVC harness that attaches to the radio.

The stereo itself has a great layout, with large buttons for radio presets as well as a big volume knob. I hate these new modern stereos with no buttons for radio presets, it makes it very dangerous for driving and changing stations. Also the faceplate has a lot of display flashing but I turned it off because it was distracting and it makes it seem much more professional. The radio also comes preset on the LOUD setting which is unnecessary unless you're listening at very low volumes. This will cause your speakers to distort if you chose to crank the volume up.

Also one note, the picture in the description of this stereo is incorrect, it does not have a cassette, the correct picture is at the top left when you first click on the item. Amazon needs to correct this because I believe you can clearly see it says XG400.

I will be instealling a sub and new speakers soon, so maybe I will update this review then but it sounds great and is a definite improvement over the stock radio, especially being able to use the iPod through the aux cable connector instead of the tape player.

It will save some money by installing a car audio system yourself? Installing a car audio system, is not so difficult, after all, and certainly able to do so. Driving a car audio system is a very rewarding experience for you, then you have a lot of their training. Once installed, you will see a feeling of gratification from it feels. Now go get your desired system.

What's next, after purchasing the system? When you installYes, we must be very careful that you are obtaining valuable system damage. Most audio-Brain is not to be installed. Took the form of bases and positions, which apply only if you are supposed to be installed. E 'advisable for you to follow the instructions and proceed methodically.

Before installation, you must decide what kind of tractor that sit in the car before. If you are a beginner in car audio track isadvisable for you from a simple system. Leave things more complicated, such as LCD and pieces of motor equipment for professionals.

One of the easiest things to install are the main units. Most head units have a standard size. For most of the car after the factory radio is removed the aftermarket radio fit into the hole. E 'possible, however, some engines that hole is too large, and in this case, you will get a kit used for the installation. To get the packages that are required for the installation, youcan visit any car audio shops in your city.

There are basically 2 types of mounting a car audio system. The first is the ISO mounting. This is when the radio can meet the existing factory radio brackets are screwed. Most Japanese cars are mounted ISO. The second type of confirmation is the ring structure. And 'when an aftermarket radio comes with a metal ring mounted at the factory radio hole. In many cars, dash and the rings must be made to enlargeRadio hole. After you install the ring, the radio slides and kept breaking. But if you want to remove this in the future, the use of special tools.

Now, we talk about speakers. Speaker installation is very critical to the car's audio system. If the speakers are not installed correctly, the sound is not up to par. In one system, you are more likely to use the speakers that fit correctly in a factory environment. Just make surethat there are no gaps or holes. A suggestion to get a better sound with a wood or fiberglass baffle design to reduce gate. But be careful with the use of power tools around speakers and warranties usually do not have holes in the speakers do not cover. Not find your car audio seller before any purchase. If your speaker is able to take care of the place, not of metal must be cut. E 'highly advisable for you to let the professionals do to save some problems.

Finally, after a successfulinstall car stereo, make sure it can be with the vibrations and other noise sources. There is an excellent acoustic insulation products on the market that can help reduce the noise significantly.

Before you begin —
Get a wire cabling:

READY? Let's go, dude!

1.) Remove the negative battery cable from the battery:

It 'easy and is an easy step to be skipped, but I will tell you that you have more than one occasion, I ruined a piece of gear because I was distracted and not to disconnect the battery does not. Be safe, be smart. Just spend 2 seconds to unhook the battery. PLEASE!

2.) Disassembling the dashboard / console main unit mounting location

ToHead unit out of the factory, it is usually a relatively simple process. Most often only requires the removal of a couple of plates and screws. Sometimes these panels are held with clips instead of screws, so you want a panel removal tool to remove them safely occur.

There is absolutely excellent site called http://www.installdr.com/ who have good instructions for installing equipment in certain vehicles.

3.) Disconnect the main factory

If you're wondering what the panels around theFactory head unit, remove the factory radio. Often it is held by bolts. If the radio is mounted on all types of hardware or cage, remove the brackets or a cage with a manufacturing unit still intact. These supports or cages can be useful for the installation of new main unit.

4.) Make the aftermarket installation package (if necessary)

If your car needs a package to install, now is the time together. Think about how the head unit is part of the package to install, and then to the vehicle.This is where the brackets factory or beads can be useful. When the main unit is to protect the package to be installed and ready for installation …

5.) Connect the wires, adapters, antennas, RCA cables, interface cables

Connect all the things that could be linked, as …

Power cables, ground, power antenna, turn-amplifier, power speakers, etc.

Antenna Adapter: your antenna works for your aftermarket head unit.

RCA cables: If you have aamplifier in your system and you want to use the pre-out for the head unit, hook the RCA cables.

Input cables: If you want to connect and RCA inputs for an MP3 player or other device, connect the cable, if your head unit has an RCA input function.

Interface cable: If you connect this player CD/DVD/MP3 installed in your car, or if you want to connect iPods, satellite radios and other equipment

6.) Testing

Okay, it's all connected. 're So excited! Youcontact with the battery, turn the key and BAM! Then turn on the screen, and you feel good. The music sounds great, CD player, everything is good. Great!

What happens if this fails?

Check your wiring

Be sure to remember to connect the battery back-up

Make sure the device is still in power. Use a digital multimeter.

7.) Berg and secure new head unit

When all the work, the mountain of the new leader of their position. Be sure that fits well and looks good with itpanels. Make sure it is straight. We work with a professional job here, not a job lame quickie. If you like funky screws (including Torx screws or other strange shape), try this in your installation. It will make your head unit more difficult to steal.

We also recommend that the head unit with a mountain behind the trap. This is a long strip of metal with holes that you can use the back of the unit to stabilize. Finding a place to connect the rear staircase to the vehicle, then add to your bossunits.

8.) Tweak to sound best with amps
