I didn't get a picture but it was more or less the model pictured here. The radio was showing a bunch of stuff they didn't want to see, turns out it was stuck on "demo mode" and listing a bunch of features. The interface was unintuitive but luckily he kept a manual, so I navigated through the settings menu and turned off the demo. Sorted.

That's an elderly person's car stereo. 💀 Any youth I still had just evaporated.

    If there's any more left to evaporate, JVC basically hasn't been a brand you can buy in over 15 years

    You don't know how old they were when they bought it though.

    He replaced it in the last few years but just didn't know how to work it. One of those things when you "press something" and it stops working the way you want.

    TBF I always find these "futuristic design" car stereos inscrutable, and I fit into the age bracket of people who grew up with them.

    Car manufacturers themselves were always better at creating simple UIs for their own stereos, in my experience.
