| JVC KD-DB101 |
The new JVC KD-DB101 DAB Car Radio has all the features you'd expect from a DAB Digital Radio and more.
As you'd expect with a DAB Digital Radio the audio quality is first class with none of the fading and hissing you tend to get in poor signal areas on the older FM and MW modes.
In addition to the very clear and imformative Display Panel showing you the name of the track being played along with artist name it will also receive FM, MW and LW and play MP3s!
It is a standard DIN In-Dash unit making fitting in most modern cars quite straighforward.
The faceplate is removable for security when the car is left unattended and even comes with its own carry caseto prevent it getting scratched and to keep the contacts clean and reliable.

Some Customer Reviews
Excellent radio, Review by Bob P., London
Easy to install (in an Astra), easy to use/tune, works fine, reception with DAB HAL1 GLASS MOUNT AERIAL is fine (in west London)
Excellent radio shame about the 'optional extras', By
K. M., Scotland I agree with the other reviewers, the radio itself is excellent.
So after purchasing the radio I then had to buy the antenna and now have the remote on order.
Excellent radio shame about the 'optional extras', By
I took delivery of this radio two days ago and had it fitted professionally by a local installer. It was replacing a JVC KD-G611 (Radio/CD/MP3 capable and 3.5 jack input at front) which I have had for about 3 years. Similar in layout and controls,therefore, the KD-DB101 is 50w per channel, MP3/WMA capable and also with front AUX input, but with the glorious addition of integrated DAB.
There is a choice of display on the front panel. Scrolling script will tell you (on DAB) programme details: perhaps best left off when driving, but useful to have. Programme name, type or clock are alternative displays. CD and MP3/WMA works fine...
...All in all, very good value for money; well designed and once set up easy to control. DAB quality and reception excellent and sensitive. Not even a burble on losing DAB signals. For me this was a retirement present, and it is just what I wanted.
