JVC KS-FX230 Car Cassette Player

Pros: Great sound, good features for the price, good for beginners or tight budgets.
Cons: No remote, mp3, display colour washes out in sunlight

I have been using this head unit for more than 5 years, and it has never given me any problems whatsoever. It is a basic player, with basic features, but the quality of the sound cannot be faulted. Buttons are solid, they do not feel flimsy to the touch. Pity there's no remote control, or that the display colour cannot be changed. The 12 disc changer enables me to go through all my favourite songs on a long trip, making up for the lack of mp3 capability. It could do with a better(stronger) mounting bracket. It has one pair of pre-outs for the rear. For a start in car audio, or for just normal listening for everyday driving, it does a great job.
