Great media choices

In addition to the internet radio options that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay provide, you can add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner (SiriusXM subscription required) to get non-stop music, talk, and news stations will stay with you as you cross state lines. You can plug your iPhone® into the rear-panel USB port and control the music in your phone while you charge it – you control your Android phone through Bluetooth. The port can also handle music stored on a thumb drive, including various music files. And yes, you can still rely on AM/FM radio too.
Added display assistance

This receiver’s customizable user interface lets you choose the layout on its 6.8″ capacitive display. When using the JVC interface onscreen, its built-in Gesture Control provides simple and quick controls over volume, track forward, and track back with just a swipe of your finger. Built-in Bluetooth makes it easy to stream music wirelessly and make hands-free calls, and you can see music and caller info on the big screen.

If you’re installing a stereo with a video display, it’s also a great time to add a backup cam, and this JVC gives you a dedicated camera input. And if the kids in the back need a bit of distraction, you can feed them some video by connecting additional monitors to this receiver’s video output.
Your dream sound

Use JVC’s sound-sculpting controls, including a 13-band graphic equalizer and time alignment, for the best home seat. Five preamp outputs allow you to add amplifiers to your system when you’re ready to pump the sound.

Bluetooth note: This receiver’s Bluetooth features depend on your phone’s capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
