The JVC KW-M595BT is a digital media receiver in a double-DIN size with a short chassis. It has a 6.8-inch capacitive touch monitor. It connects to a smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto over USB.
USB Mirroring shows a compatible phone's screen on the receiver once the MirrorApp+ app is installed. Apps such as Waze, YouTube and Instagram can be used, and touch control works from both the receiver screen and the phone. This works with selected mobile phones only.
Bluetooth supports hands-free calling with HFP 1.8 wideband speech (HD Voice) and music streaming with AVRCP 1.6. AVRCP 1.6 lets you browse folder and song name lists, and it supports repeat and random playback. For sound tuning, there is a 13-band equalizer and Time Alignment, which adjusts the timing of each speaker's output based on the speaker type and its distance to the listening position.
