There are no substitutes for Howard 100, I just need the stock to go up.
I have no complaints except for the remote. The remote well is not that durable in a 'shop' environment, in a ziploc bag. It gets warm, but I've fallen asleep with it on God knows how many times with it still running and no problems yet. It's not difficult these days. The tuner buttons themselves have taken plenty of use however, and offer no problems. Drop $100 for a head unit with a 1/8" plug in, maybe $160 for those of you not mechanically inclined to have said head unit installed. I have read lots of bad reviews on this tuner but mine is great.
Even with the cassette adapter the sound is good. Just think every NFL game, NBA, NASCAR, and most importantly Howard Stern in crisp audio regular radio can't touch. Just hard wire it. I purchased this tuner two years ago now when Howard was doing his 'sound check' before leaving terrestrial radio. Actually excellent. I keep this thing 'hard-wired'. Either into a Sony receiver via 1/8" to RCA or, 1/8" to cassette adapter.
It will be the best thing you ever do.
She suggested calling Circuit City or Best Buy for repair. The first two we got for X-Mas 2004 and were returning them both to JVC by Nov 2005. it is great. I don't even know what to do.
but we have had 4. Then she said they will charge me to fix it, then ship it back.WHAT.
Well. both of them say NO WAY.Well.not such good luck.
When this unit works. This is the 2nd one of these I have had, and the 2nd one my husband has had.
the lady told me over the phone what the problem was. JVC gave us a horrible time, but since it was under warranty, they replaced both of them.Now, tonight, my light sensor per JVC has gone out and they won't replace it.
I can ship it to them and they will look at it for $65 and then diagnose it. and issues with all them.Good luck.
We use a cassette adapter -- it degrades the sound quality somewhat. If we had it installed again, we'd buy and install the adapter needed to connect the FM modulator output to our FM radio's antenna cable. The red display began to be intermittent before it was a year old, now it completely out (15 months old) and is going back to JVC. Very convenient to move this unit between the car and the boombox. However the FM modulator would not work at all in our new 4Runner, even with a simple antenna added to it. Hopefully they'll give us a refurbished unit in exchange.
I'll turn the station and there's a song I have saved, but wasn't alerted.-The lighted display crapped out this weekend. It's dark.I am a Mom and don't ever remove this from my car. I've had this unit for a year and during that time, I've experienced the following:-Hissing no matter which FM station is chosen-Alert feature doesn't appear to work properly. I rarely touch the unit and opt instead to use the remote. So the wear on it is minimal. Many times I am not alerted to the songs I have saved in my favorites. It was a poor purchase at best.
