JVC KDPHD4002 - HD Radio CD Receiver with 2 pair of 6.5" Speakers $59.99 at Sears

Unlike the last JVC deal posted a few days ago for the same price, this one has HD radio built in instead of being HD ready. Seems like a good deal.
Clicky

FYI, picture is incorrect.

Anyone know much about this? Hubby's got a 66 Cutlass, and he's always complaining that the (under-dash mount) stereo and the speakers suck. Wondering if this would be a decent upgrade....

Do the automakers have deals with the satellite providers that prevent them from doing so?

probably, if someone buys X car with satellite radio you get X back from the satellite radio provider? Probably works like that.

good deal op

This looks like a JVC KD-HDR40 packaged with speakers.

Placed two orders for store pickup in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul suburbs, and both orders were canceled because the "final" inventory check revealed that the item was out of stock. And for what it's worth, one of the best benefits to HD radio (in my view) is the HD-only channels, which in some cases have fewer or no ads.

If anyone in Central Florida got one and wants to get rid of it, lmk!

Daytona Beach Sears in the Volusia Mall has 5 in stock per inventory report.

I own KD-HDW10 in my 1982 MB 240D with the factory MB speakers and it sounds ok. I did not notice any difference between FM stations and HD stations, may be the speakers are too old or myself.

Interestingly enough, I used my local zip (Winter Park) and expanded to 300mi with none in stock (so I think the stock checker doesn't "really" work up to 300mi... it shows "We checked the 10 closest stores to your location for availability."). I tried an Osteen zip and viola, something showed up in Daytona. Placed an order since I go over that way nearly every weekend.

Thanks so much yugpatel!!

Wondering if this would be a decent upgrade.... If your husband is an audiophile, this would be a decent upgrade over a stock stereo system. For the price it's a great buy. If you want to run your speakers cleanly at a high volume you never want to run the speakers from the head unit. To get the best quality sound and minimal distortion you want to purchase an amplifier to run the speakers from. The head unit should only be used to control the settings of the audio not as an amp. Hopefully this will help you make an informed decision.

Not in stock for me.

You might be able to get this similar model if you don't care about HD Radio.

Shouldn't this be in the car audio sub-folder?

The one i got from Sears at Dallas has 1 pair circular
and the other oval pair speaker in the box. They all have the same
rating and are 2 way speakers.

There was a delay to bring me my box, ended with $5 coupon for future purchase too

The last time i was at Sears to pick up, there was a 3-4minutes delay, whick i'm totally fine with. Anyway, the guy handling my item apologized and gave me 3 of those $5 coupon.
I like Sears' commitment to fast pickup service, but after reading the fine print, there were so many restrictions: no online use, no combining coupons, no electrics, etc, those coupons were useless to me.
It was more like an incentive to buy more in-store at Sears than an apology from them.
