Pro
JVC Arsenal head units are designed for specific needs. The great thing about the Arsenal series is the fact that JVC is looking for every function for packing in a single device. That is good for manyReasons. First, it tends to reduce costs to a specific product, compared to a device that does everything. Secondly, you can be sure that the quality of the product affected the recipient Arsenal as a feature-rich device based on a no-name brand.
Let me give you an example. Maybe you already have a GPS navigation, which bought the dashboard or windshield, large attacks. Now you want a 7 "In-Dash Monitor, but obviously you do not need the additional function of navigation.'s WhyKW-ADV790, a double DIN in-dash LCD monitor with integrated DVD player.

Do not forget the new proximity sensor that JVC has introduced with this model. He knows when you approach the front of the screen, so that a menu available when you want and hides when you are away. I told you that all disappears when you face off? And 'literally a chameleon, blending in your dashboard, when idle or turned off.
Note that all 2008 JVC ArsenalHead unit are (if not already) Satellite Radio ready, HD Radio ready, iPod ready and Bluetooth ready and equipped with a 3.5 mm front panel input.

Cons
Other than the KD-ADV49 and KW-ADV790, the Arsenal single DIN receivers does not see all theCosmetic ordinary speech. It seems that JVC forward into a new era of mobile entertainment needs and start planning the front panels like the chameleon. displays the type and, unfortunately, all have dot matrix and has a substantial advantage over other brands when it appears on the front panel.
Another thing is to score a negative point on the design remotely. E 'rather bulky and also old-fashioned design. Not exactly credit card size, but could be on your key chain clipif you do not mind a bit 'bulky.
Completion
If a word is said JVC Arsenal Series head units are described, must be "integration". JVC has made great efforts to use their products, demand for new technologies, integrating technologies more and more like HD radio, satellite radio and iPod did in their delivery units.
It 's definitely a series of technological advances and consumer characterized their ability to expand theSystem with one source unit.
