Us lexus owners know we have luxury toyotas and damn proud of it. Long lasting cars with 0% problems 😎
Absolutely!
Jvc and Kenwood are one company!
Jvc and Kenwood are one company now. They have been for a few years. Where have you been Boston Jim?
That's what he said dumbass
Did you watch the video guy? That's exactly what I said! 😂😂😂
@@Qualitymobilevideo yeah guy I did but this happend years ago almost 3 years ago. This is not new news bud!
No crap I didn't know that I guess I no longer keep up with stereo but good to know this thanks man
This happened in 2008, not 3 years ago. Lol. Just let the man make his videos.
Yes, that's exact same unit produced by Chinese ODM. This case also applied for all other series in-house made by JVCKENWOOD factory in Indonesia.
They are the same unit according to my Kenwood rep, I suspect that as it doesn’t run the traditional Kenwood 16 or 22 pin plug it is more purity to have started life as a JVC (as the JVC line up is all ISO harnesses now) not a bad unit either was, I still sell a fair few in both brands.kenwood is more marketed as the premium offering where as JVC is more for the budget savvy) I was team JVC in the day but think Kenwood does focus on sound quality a more with their high res equipment.
Can I ask a Question?
It is possible that you can display Android Auto, Apple Carplay and Weblink on both head unit/stereo and headrest monitors?
It is possible to display Phone Mirrorlink on both stereo and headrest monitors on this stereo so that back seat passengers can watch TH-cam or Netflix from my phone?
I just pick the Kenwood and now i am waiting on it to be shipped and installed into my F-150
Hey, I’ve got a question, can I connect speakers directly to those preamp outputs that your are talking about? I don’t quite understand that because to me it looks like I can just plug and play with speakers since what I could find it apparently has 50w output per Chanel but I don’t know again if that is the max output or the rms output, do I really need en extra amp just to have working speakers at all? I ask cuz I want to install a new radio in my car with 4 speakers, two having 30wRMS and two (apparently) having 100wRMS. From what I understand now is that I cannot drive those speakers until I get an amplifier, if so I’d rather stick to the old barely working radio that is in the car and save on spending 200 bucks on the radio and another 200 bucks or more for an amplifier just to have working speakers. Correct me if I’m wrong, since I have no clue 😅😂
On my jvc, when i connect to bluetooth it reads connected to kenwood
Ha! Mine, too!
So many freezes on bluetooth mode, Kenwood, please fix it!!!!
I bought a Lexus and then put a jvc in it
nice I bought a toyota with a kenwood in it
😆 😆
Is there any unit cheaper than this ones that you think is better?
Just installed the Kenwood DMX125bt in my 2006 Tundra. In the Audio Settings how do you set your custom equalizer setting (User1, User2, User3). After I set the equalizer setting I go to hit/hold on User 1 and it resets to the middle again. Tried this 3 times. No luck. Also. I was told I can connect my iPhone 11pro to the USB and control the audio on Spotify/TuneIn Radio, etc. while the iPhone is charging. But when I play music on Spotify (while iPhone is connected to USB) after a few seconds it switches to radio. Its done this a few times too.
I noticed you haven't reviewed any Alpine stereos in a while. Any chance you could do the Alpine iLX-W650? The specs look impressive for the price.
This chassis that JVC Kenwood is using is rather strange, it's like it's made by a 3rd party and adapted to their needs. If you look up the specs, all units using this chassis have an FM tuner with much worse sensitivity than a normal JVC or Kenwood unit and they only have 2V preamp outputs available. They are also the only JVC or Kenwood units that have built in Android screen mirroring in the sub-$400 range. If you want 4V preamp outputs and built in Android screen mirroring then the price jumps to $600+ for a KW-M865BW or DMX9707S.
The plastic thing is for emptying out your kief catcher.
Jvc and kenwood are the same thing, in the Netherlands they're sold under JVC and internationally as kenwood
Think I might have found the one. 200$, responsible brand name, and white boy did a review. Sold!
😂😂😂😂
Can u switch the color of the lighting
Great for vehicles with analog steering wheel controls. No additional module needed. Sucks they only have low voltage RCA outputs, but having a capacitive screen i guess you can't expect more at the price point.
how does it connect to the wheel controls if theres no plug for it?
The most thorough review to date👍🔥🔥🔥
Glad you liked it! 👌
my jvc player has been stucked on logo after updates, anyone can help out?
You may need to contact JVC, I have not seen that before.
do i add amp if i need to connect 90 w RMS speakers with .JVC KW-M150BT
Very interesting, indeed.
So correct me if I'm wrong here im just making sure I understood this.. they clip at 36 on the speaker outs but they don't clip max volume on the rca pre outs?
Correct
Great comparison video. Are they sounds great? Better than sansui or other chinese head unit?
Yup these will sound much better than Chinese head units
In this case, JVC is Leo and Kenwood is James......no difference, just the same.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The back looks exactly like a bunch of the Android headunits, I'm sure if you tore it open you will find it's just that with the JVC KENWOOD OS on them, even the output specs line up up with the 5 Android units I have tested. I wouldn't pick either one, save your money and buy a better unit
What would you recommend? I'm looking for something not too pricey
I have the Kenwood and every time someone calls my sound goes flat and I have cut the car off and start it backup to get the sound back other than that I like it cause with the EQ you can fine tune the sound
Same thing happens to me in a higher model kenwood ddx376bt but only when I answer on the head unit. If I answer the call with my phone my music comes back on after the call. Which sucks cause I have to get my phone every time instead of just tapping the head unit to answer
So with these will i need anything extra for steering wheel control say for 07 Honda Odyssey?
Yes, you'll need to purchase this universal SWC interface: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/aswc.html
The KW stands for Kenwood
Yeah you cant adjust your mids and tweets with the JVC M150BT and there so far have been 0 youtube videos on it, ive been searching and have yet to find anything other than adjust its EQ which does nothing for mids and tweets volume. Def wouldnt have bought it if I had known before hand
So they distort at vol 36 with max being 40 did I understand that correct?
Yep. All stereos do stuff like this. The signal will actually start clipping before you reach maximum volume. It's the entire reason why Steve Mead helped create devices like the AMM-1 and DD-1, so you can can properly setup systems without the need for an oscilloscope. Why manufacturers can't just design their stereos so that max volume is actually a clean output is beyond me.
The clarion fx 450... It's the same too!
What's the point in having to release the same product under two different brands? Loyalty? If the JVC one was sold in countries outside the USA then I could understand. Kinda like Carrozzeria is the Japan name brand while it goes by Pioneer elsewhere.
Weird right!?
Hey man got a question when you do the apple screen mirroring with the adapter are you able to touch the radio screen for your phone
No you cant so that on any stereo you can only swipe on your phone
@@gerardodiaz548 bro I have the radio 🤣😂 you can touch the radio on android hahah Apple I now know that you can't
Thank you there Jimmy.. i do have one question tho. When you ran the pre outs test you said it was at max volume was that also with eq flat?
Yup! Max and flat
Would have loved to see Waze instead of Google maps, or both... but I'm guessing if Google Maps works, so will Waze. Does Google Maps default to Horizontal screen display to fit on the radio screen?
Gotta flip the phone horizontal!
@@Qualitymobilevideo I think you can also set Waze to default to Horizontal regardless of which way he phone sits... I wonder if that works with Google Maps.
I’d still go for a pioneer
Thats my boy believe me pioneer is no one after that kenwood and jvc
M Ehsan as far as I know pioneer specialise in car audio nowadays and don’t really do anything else much where as kenwoods always been mostly home audio and jvc portable audio
@@thatbig1 I recently brought a Pioneer home threater reciever which I love.
I would to but blowing $200 or $300 just ain't worth it right now for a radio at least to me. The Jvc version I got at Best Buy for $150 and basically get android auto 😂😭 can’t beat that and you know it.
@@Mach1Chriss id rather go for quality than settle for some cheapy stereo to be honest
After all you get what you pay for
Kenwood DMX125BT or DMX1025BT?
I looking in Indonesia market not found 125BT, but found 1025BT
As detailed in the video, they are the exact same stereo, just a different name
They are identical but the jvc is cheaper by 50 bucks!!
Dude compared lexus and toyota like there the same vehicle, thats the same as comparing the almera and GTR.. there the same car also.. 😅
Yes they are. 😎
@@Qualitymobilevideo 🤣🤣 well I guess the Ford Scorpio and the mustang are the same also 😅🤣🤣
@@caribbean_car_culture lol yes they are!
@@Qualitymobilevideo 🤣🤣🤣
both models do have Bluetooth problems, not recommend to buy them
I bit the bullet and bought one little while back and had the bt problem but after I updated the firmware its a rare occurrence now... was waiting on their review but needed a screen and a older jeep Cherokee's have no mounting depth so it was either this or a ilxw-650 and the Kenwood was half the price
Can u play movies from a usb on these radios
Same company !!!
funny how i have a kenwood amplifier and one of jvc's radios.
😂😂
I think that excelon Kenwood amps are better and JVC radios have better sizzle in the highs(brighter sound) . I'm doing the same thing. Oh, and JVC actually have a illumination wire on all models
Kenwood and jvc are the same company now JVCKENWOOD as of 2008.
pioneer needs to have an app to mirror jesus man. im bout to sell.my avh-2550nex n just get this
For real!
So which company is the Lexus and which one is the Toyota?
Ima go Kenwood is the Lexus and the JVC is the Toyota
Exactly what I would say lol
Jvc is like the non name brand version of kenwood
That's a stupid statement, they've been around longer than you, and have both had high end offerings. You don't have a clue.
JVC started in 1927, and Kenwood in 1946, they merged in 2011.
Same company homie
Well aware!
@@Qualitymobilevideo that's why they're the same!!! Lol
Which one would you buy? @quality
It's a coin toss bud! Completely the same stereo. Whichever brand name you prefer. It's Pepsi vs Coke
Man my JVC really pisses me off because the mirroring function doesn’t work with both android and Apple and I’ve tried all the methods my last resort now is to try and download a firmware update for the fucking thing excuse my French. I literally sat out here for hours messing with it in the hot sun trying to get the stupid thing to work but I’m not sure how Best Buy installed it. I even told the guy at Best Buy that I wanted it specifically for a screen mirroring and I wanted a cheap alternative to android and Apple auto.
Can you recommend a good set up for a 10 inch sub and amp combo nothing too crazy clean and simple?
Skar audio svr 10 and a skar audio amp rp 800.1d
$270 and it bangs and you can get a good box for 100 or less
@@zynnertime1 that is a great company for affordable good quality products
Does Kenwood DMX125BT have Android WIRELESS Auto?
Nope. It doesn't even have normal android auto
@@Qualitymobilevideo I went with the JVC KW-M865
Is Jvc chine?
which one is cheaper?????
JVC brand will be cheaper than KENWOOD
JVC! By $20

land rover driver's driving ford's infinity driver's driving nissan's acura driver's driving honda's the list goes on 🤣🤣🤣
Jvc or Kenwood ,? Which one to buy advise me
one alone usb? can I use hub?
No nor can you use an extension
great
Gildarts and Shanks
Yeah, because its named JVCKenwood Company
Exactly what we said in the first 20 seconds
Plz start doing rca output voltage tests
They have been anytime they do these tests
This video literally has RCA output voltage testing. Just like our last 50 car stereo videos
Did they watch the video?
..and they were measured to be at 4V, correct? @@Qualitymobilevideo
Big deal so what , Acura= Honda, Infiniti = Nissan, Lexus = Toyota You pay a premium Just for the logo the same quality.
Kenwood 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Kenwood owens JVC that's why JVC is better then it was
Of course they are the same sometimes if they are same company haha
Good video
Thanks
Been a minute.. Stereos..
They're the same company, so not different manufacturing.
If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that.
And these are Chinese junk head units with JVC/Kenwood logos.
Same as Nissan Infiniti, Hyundai Genesis, etc.
Kenwood owns JVC of course its the same
Kenwood owns jvc, why wouldn't they be the same?????
Yea that's what we pointed out
How about, if you're buying a Toyota you're really buying a Lexus, ya debbie downer.
Lol just jokes
Just dont buy the DMX120BT KENWOOD full of problems crashes freezing
Kenwood
there are a lot rebadge products out there.
I don't understand the Ranger being rebadged as a Mazda... And they're the exact same truck.
I hope the Mazda version was cheaper 🤔 or else it wouldn't make sense
Ya know. I try to give you guys buisness and instead you wait till after I drop the 200 dollars to tell me your out of stock. And going to be months before they even get to you. Like wtf. Thanks for my Hope's up. I only just bought the wiring harness and the dash kit and back up camera. For you to tell me I cant have it for months. Nice website. Psh
all kenwood car stereo & multi media made by JVC because JVC is buying more than 50% KENWOOD company and they merger the company with name JVC KENWOOD . for car stereo & multi media base product manufactur in indonesia and send to all the world for japanese not sale product JVC & KENWOOD car audio .
Sorry they drive a Toyota? Toyota is better then any US car manufacture. FACT.
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh.
You know they're the same company, right? :/
Did you watch the first 30 seconds of the video where I say they're the same company?
