The JVC KW-M590BT is a double-DIN digital media receiver with a 6.8-inch capacitive touchscreen. It keeps AM/FM radio, Bluetooth audio, USB media playback and camera connectivity in one unit. Dedicated touch-sensitive controls sit along the side of the screen, and Gesture Touch Control supports selected source functions.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect by USB and bring compatible navigation, calling, messaging, music and voice control to the display. Bluetooth 5.0 adds wireless music streaming and hands-free calling, with HFP 1.8 wideband speech support for call clarity. USB Mirroring works with selected compatible smartphones using the MirrorAPP+ application.
The built-in four-channel amplifier is rated at 50 watts maximum per channel and 22 watts RMS per channel at less than 1% THD. Sound tuning includes a 13-band graphic equalizer, two-way crossover, subwoofer level control and digital time alignment. Front, rear and mono subwoofer preouts allow a later amplifier, speaker or subwoofer upgrade.
