Integrate your phone
Maps, music, texts, phone calls. Everything you need for the road is on your smartphone, right? JVC's KW-M590BT multimedia receiver puts all the goodness front and center on a 6.8" touchscreen display with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. Plus, you'll get a variety of music sources, hands-free calling, serious sound-shaping tools, and plenty of outputs for more gear to improve your journey. JVC's customizable interface means you can set up this receiver to make it truly yours.
Onboard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
With your iPhone® or Android™ smartphone connected to the KW-M590BT via USB, you'll gain touchscreen or voice control access to a variety of apps supported by Android Auto and CarPlay.
- Android Auto: When you connect a compatible Android device, Android Auto integrates the Android platform into your driving experience in a non-distracting way. You'll have voice control access to Google Maps, weather, music, your phone, text messages, plus easy access to many of your favorite apps. Get more info at https://www.android.com/auto.
- Apple CarPlay: CarPlay integrates your iPhone® into the driving experience, putting iPhone content at the driver's voice command with minimal distraction. That means easy access to your music library, your phone, messages, navigation, and many third-party streaming music apps, too. Learn more at https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay.
Additionally, this JVC lets you mirror your Android device with a USB connection, providing touchscreen control over your phone from the receiver. And when you're not directly running the show from your phone, JVC's Gesture Touch Control lets you use simple finger movements to control things like volume and track selection from the touchscreen controls.
Bluetooth for calling and streaming
Bluetooth makes it easy to stream music wirelessly and make hands-free calls. This JVC lets you quickly switch between two paired phones — handy for vehicles with more than one driver. When it comes to streaming audio, you can also control this car stereo directly from your phone using JVC's free Remote app.
This side view shows that this shallow receiver can fit in dash openings that are 4" tall.
Add a backup cam
If you're installing a stereo, it's also a great time to add a backup cam, and the KW-M590BT 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
Take advantage of JVC's sound-sculpting controls, including a 13-band graphic equalizer and time alignment to get you the best seat in the house.
You'll need a wired connection to your parking brake to access settings and other features on this receiver. Your parking brake must be connected and set in order to view video on its screen.
