New JVC LCD Receiver for Corolla

JVC KX-AC646 6.1" LCD with RDS Radio
With the consent from my wife I switched from Kenwood 503U to the latest JVC headunit, which is not the top model. The cost is acceptable. It is a great improvement over the previous generation from JVC. I was told a lot of improvements have been made because of JVC's merge with Kenwood early this year.

Anyhow this is a big step towards user-friendliness. The old Kenwood has the operation issues - LCD impossible to see in broad day light and the main control button impossible to use correctly.

The other 'important' thing I fix is the backlit lamp behind the factory digital clock on the center console. It has gone dark for as long as I remember it. And I am glad that I brought it back after losing hope over it.
