JVC KW-M875BW: Digital multimedia receiver (does not play discs)

You don't need to plug in

Sometimes, you just don't want to deal with that charging cable. JVC's KW-M875BW multimedia receiver offers wired and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® so you can enjoy using their intuitive interfaces on the receiver's 6.75” touchscreen display. It also includes screen mirroring for Android™ phones, high-res music compatibility, Bluetooth® for wireless convenience, and an option for satellite radio. You can add amplifiers and up to four cameras to complete your vehicle's infotainment system.

Let your phone help

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto put your phone's content at your fingertips. This stereo's controls behave like your phone's interface, so there's no learning curve. Plug in or wirelessly link your Android or iPhone®, and you'll get voice control access to your navigation, phone calls, weather, text messages, and of course all your music. Get more info at www.apple.com/ios/carplay and www.android.com/auto. 

Android owners, you can mirror your phone's screen on the JVC display by plugging into the rear USB port and using JVC's free "Mirroring OA for JVC" app. You can also mirror wirelessly using Miracast and the receiver's built-in WiFi. This receiver's micro-HDMI input lets you mirror the screen from select phones by using a compatible HDMI adapter for your phone (sold separately) and JVC's KSU70 micro HDMI-to-HDMI cable.

Simple controls on a touchscreen display

This receiver's clear resistive display shows all your info in crisp detail and JVC's Dynamic GUI lets you customize its home screen for when Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not active. When you're using the JVC onscreen interface, its built-in Gesture Control provides simple and quick control over volume, track forward, and track back with just a swipe of your finger.

This JVC also sports a 13-band equalizer that allows you to set up separate tone curves for different audio sources. Combine that with the built-in digital time alignment processor, and you can put yourself right in the engineer's seat. Three pairs of high-voltage preamp outputs give you flexibility in adding amplifiers to your system when you're ready to pump up the sound. 

Wireless convenience with Bluetooth

Bluetooth enables wireless streaming for music and hands-free phone calls. You can quickly switch between two paired phones — handy for vehicles with more than one driver. Many portable audio players also include Bluetooth, so you can stream your personal music collections while you're on the road. When it comes to streaming audio, JVC's Streaming DJ feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can add their favorite songs to the road trip playlist. 

If you have a Sony Android device that uses their proprietary LDAC Bluetooth codec, you'll be able to wirelessly stream music to this receiver with significantly better resolution.

Gateway to your music

Add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner (sold separately, SiriusXM subscription required) to this JVC receiver to enjoy non-stop music, talk, and news stations that will stay with you as you cross state lines. To hear the latest local radio, tune in your favorite AM/FM radio stations using the KW-M875BW's sensitive over-the-air tuner. Got your own music stored on a thumb drive? This receiver's USB port handles a variety of digital formats, including high-resolution FLAC and WAV music files. 

Don't forget video

JVC gives you three camera inputs for a cargo cam, a front-view cam, a backup cam, and more, plus you can use the A/V input for a camera if needed. With compatible vehicles and the addition of a select iDatalink Maestro module, you can retain blind spot cameras thanks to these extra camera inputs. And if you've got a backseat crew that needs a distraction, you can feed them some video by connecting additional monitors to this receiver's video output.

iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras

Combined with an iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2 interface (sold separately), the KW-M875BW includes intuitive vehicle integration that lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. Once you've identified your vehicle, you'll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it's compatible.
