JVC KW-M180BT 6.75" Multimedia Receiver USB Bluetooth

The best of your phone in your dash

When you're parked and the parking brake is engaged, plug in your Android™ via USB and connect via Bluetooth®, and you'll see a mirror image of your smartphone screen using JVC's free "Mirroring OB for JVC" app. Your apps will work the same way they do on your phone. And iPhone® users, you can also plug in to get access to all music, audiobooks, and podcasts. The USB port also charges your phone while you listen.

The best of Bluetooth

Built-in Bluetooth means you can wirelessly pair your phone with the KW-M180BT to conduct hands-free calling and stream music, podcasts, and more from your favorite services. JVC includes a wired microphone so your contacts will hear you loud and clear during phone calls.

Backup cam input and HD video capability

These days, vehicle cameras are a must for safer driving, and JVC gives you a dedicated input for adding a backup cam. It'll even show parking guidelines for compatible cameras. And if you have high-def video files loaded onto a flash drive, this JVC will play them in bright and clear detail when you're parked. When you're on the road, you can entertain your passengers by sending a movie from the receiver to a rear-seat screen.

Shape your sound from your dash

This receiver's suite of sound-crafting tools includes a 13-band equalizer, deep crossover settings, and built-in digital time alignment to ensure your seat is the sweet spot. This receiver's processing power ensures you'll enjoy depth and detail from all your digital music sources. The KW-M180BT also includes five 2-volt RCA preamp outputs so you'll have plenty of flexibility when it's time to add amplifiers to your system.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

Touchscreen convenience that fits more applications

Drivers who want a bigger display at a more wallet-friendly price will find JVC's KW-M180BT multimedia receiver with its 6.75" capacitive touchscreen display to be a satisfying addition to their dash. You'll also have a lot of other great options, including hands-free calling, music streaming, multiple sound-sculpting controls, and playback of music and video files stored on USB flash drives. JVC also gave the KW-M180BT an incredibly shallow chassis (just under 3") for a better fit in challenging dashboards.
