Picking up on the craze for short-body mounting depth receivers, the KW-M875BW is JVC’s first reduced mounting depth wireless-enabled multimedia receiver, coming in at 3-3/8” deep. It sports a 6.8” clear resistive touch panel display with wireless and wired support for Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, wireless screen mirroring for Android®, HD Radio®, Advanced iDatalink® Maestro RR support (with newly designed GUI’s), SiriusXM® ready compatibility, 4 camera inputs, 3 sets of 5-volt RCA pre-outs, support for Hi-Res Audio via a wireless or wired connection, K2 sound technology, and gesture touch control. Another first for JVC is its USB Type-C and HDMI Type-D rear inputs for faster charging and easier smartphone integration. The KS-U70 Type-A to Type-D HDMI cable is automotive-grade and designed to fit perfectly in the KW-M875BW’s recessed input and provide superior video playback from a compatible 3rd-party device. Also equipped with JVC’s K2 sound technology, the recently released KD-T92MBS single-DIN marine/motorsports CD receiver and the KD-TD72BT single-DIN CD receiver will be on display in its booth as well.
To further complement its recent introduction of the waterproof/dustproof KS-DR2004D compact 4-channel amplifier, 2 additional amplifiers will be on display, including the KS-DR2104DBT waterproof/dustproof 4-channel Bluetooth® amplifier and KS-DR2001D waterproof mono amplifier, providing the power and flexibility necessary for complete on and off-road system building.

This unique apt-X™ -equipped Bluetooth amplifier can be your audio source solution for anything from a classic car where altering the factory receiver isn’t an option, to a UTV without a receiver provision. To complete the system, simply add in the KS-DR2001D with its included remote level controller and 300 Watts of RMS power to drive a subwoofer.
