KW-V350BT

Great looks and great sound

I really like what JVC's been doing with their displays  making them beautiful and functional. Their KW-V350BT DVD receiver gives you command over lots of media for your drive time and also provides a customizable and handsome 6.8" touchscreen display to do it. If you're a tweaker, you'll love the deep sound-shaping tools this receiver includes. Built-in Bluetooth provides wireless convenience for your smartphone. And JVC backs this receiver up with a 2-year warranty.

Adjust the look in your dash

For a sleek look that also works the way you want it to, JVC lets you pick from multiple backgrounds and user interfaces for this stereo's crystal-clear touchscreen display. You also get a variable brightness control with an auto dimmer, so you don't have to wear sunglasses at night. And, if you're having trouble with glare, you can electronically adjust the display's viewing angle. And to keep your attention on the road, JVC lets you use simple swipe and circular movements on the display for changing tracks, accessing music folders, and adjusting the volume.

Wireless convenience you crave

Bluetooth enables wireless streaming for music, podcasts, and audiobooks, along with 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. You can also control this car stereo directly from your iPhone or Android phone using JVC's free Remote app.

More ways to your media

If you like radio, you'll love the options the KW-V350BT offers, including Pandora,  Spotify, SiriusXM (optional satellite radio tuner, subscription required). You can plug your Android phone or iPhone into the rear-panel USB port, and control the music in your phone while you charge it. The port can also handle music stored on a thumb drive, including high-resolution FLAC music files. And yes, you can still rely on CD playback and AM/FM radio too.

The KW-V350BT also provides handy video options like a backup camera input handy for tight parking spots. If you've got an audio/video piece to add to the system, like a video game console, you can plug it into this receiver's rear mini-jack input. 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. The 6.2" inset screen shows off your DVD videos when you're parked.

Tone up (or down) your sound

When you've got the music playing, you can tweak your sound by using a huge array of sound-sculpting controls, including a 13-band graphic equalizer and time alignment to get you to center stage. To enhance compressed audio, JVC's K2 technology helps bring back the depth and detail for all your digital music sources. The Sound Lift feature adjusts your music's frequencies to virtually "raise" speakers that are lower in the doors for better, more natural imaging. You want even more impact from your music. You can even use the built-in high- and low-pass crossovers to send the proper frequencies to your speakers.

iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras

The KW-V350BT offers compatibility you won't find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. You'll also be able to check out engine performance data and other vehicle info on the JVC's screen. Once you've identified your vehicle, you'll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it's compatible.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.
