JVC KD-X270BT Bluetooth Car Stereo

I am happy with the functionality of the radio. The sound is good, I think worthy of four stars. However, I think the description should be MUCH clearer that you need to purchase separately a Stereo Wiring Harness that is specific to your car, and that a separate steering wheel control interface (ASWC-1) is needed if you want the steering wheel controls to work. The stereo wiring harness was $20 at AutoZone, which was reasonable (and I had no choice). You also need to buy butt connectors to connect the wires, which were cheap and didn't require any advanced knowledge. However, the steering wheel interface is $40, which was outrageous to me. I therefore am no longer using the steering wheel controls, which is annoying. My goal was to replace a working radio with one that had bluetooth and an aux input, and $60 seemed great, and $80 is okay, but $120 is not worth it to me. I also think the installation manual could be better, though I went to YouTube and found a ton of well made videos on replacing a car radio that were helpful. Finally, please note that if your current radio is a "double DIN" (two "slots" thick), this is a single DIN radio, and you will also need to buy a single DIN installation kit that covers the "hole" created when you remove a double DIN radio. They are inexpensive ($8). This is not a criticism of the vendor or product, just something I forgot and needed to buy later. That one's on me ...
