JVC KD-X31MBS head unit

[mazzyel2162]

Thinking of getting a new head unit. The JVC KD-X31MBS.

Has anyone purchased one of these, and if so:

does it fit in the same hole as the factory radio

can you still use the factory remotes (2009 Outback)

Doe you have the kenwood system?

[mazzyel2162]

They are both a standard DIN, so yes, it should be a direct swap in that regards. No, the kenwood or any other brand remotes, will not work with it.

[jmvotto]

Yes and yes, It has the standard din size and it also has the blue/ white remote wire for the aware remotes Should work

MLA....

you still like the head unit I mentioned or have you become fond of another?

With the theft of my 4 Exile speakers - I still have insurance money to play with :)

Its a decent unit for that price point. Not the best blue tooth range and sound quality out of the other integrated BTs. They work good for a simple simple system or one thats going to have some form of zone control/line driver. For a step up, I like the Clarion M303 or M505.
