I hear ya mang. Are you asking too much for it? Surprised you still have it. Sometimes you have to take a hit to get rid of it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I've had jvc decks almost exclusively since 2006 and they have all performed well. The one is question is great, but of the JVCs I'd prefer the kd-g820 or kd-ar880. Only thing is make sure that you have a nice thick power (yellow) wire of like 12ga. or it'll act funky. These decks **** alot of juice. I just wish my 880 had HPF, that and the remote are its only flaws. And they can be found on ebay for cheap usually.

yeah i paid 199 shipped for mines, with the ipod adapter! also got teh sqaure trade warranty, and if anything happens, i get my money back which is ftw!!!

this one comes with its own dc/dc converter, like a seperate power module, either way i cant wait to get it. gonna miss my 780mp, the screen was one of the best color ones.

I'm thinking about buying the JVC deck and I have some questions. I downloaded its owner's manual, but didn't see what I was looking for. I'd like to match its display to the car. Can the display colors be changed? Can the display be made to look very clean (no text) or turned off altogether? Thanks!

I believe it can be changed, like 6 different colors
