The JVC KD-SH99 looks like a winner, and early reviews reflect this suspicion.

It has 4volt preout - F/R and sub

MP3 playback with lots of cool features and good reliability - less quirky than the others.

And, for you silver S2K owners the face is aluminum!

Check it out at a site for in dash mp3 players:

Yepser, this is a great head unit... still not enough power for my taste, so I would recommend an amp. But everything else is awsome.

I have the new Kenwood, about $350. It skips less than the stock and the play back is very intuitive. Scrolls the artist/song name and is all I need. Very nice install in the stook. Absolutely love it!

 

I've had the Kenwood z919 for about 9 months and have been quite happy with it.

Of course, a little amplification never hurts

And a little thump in the trunk too

I never had a custom box created. I know the prefab unit doesn't look too hot, but I can remove it when I need the trunk for storage or the spare. Sounds great, IMO

 

Oops, sorry about the double post. I searched the forum first for MP# and did not see anything on the JVC.

Oh well...
