JVC KW-V250BT 6.8" touchscreen CD/DVD bluetooth receiver

Functional media receiver

JVC thought a lot about how customers use touchscreen receivers, and their KW-V250BT DVD receiver reflects this research. You can easily access your most-used functions on its 6.2" touchscreen display, as well as customizing the look of the receiver for your dash. It also includes lots of music options, including all kinds of radio, high-res digital music playback, Bluetooth audio streaming, and some old favorites. JVC also backs up this receiver with a 2-year warranty.

Customize the look and control

No more digging around menus for things you always use. JVC's Key Customize feature lets you program four preferred options and one favorite setting or source that you can quickly access using this receiver's big Function (FNC) button and the responsive touchscreen display. You can also set the look by changing up the button illumination and even have your lighting move to your tunes using the Music Sync. effect. 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. And if that isn't enough, you can also control this stereo directly from your iPhone® or Android™ phone by downloading JVC's free Remote app.

Choose your favorite sources and access them quickly using the Key Customize feature.

Bluetooth convenience

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. You can wirelessly stream and control the playback functions of just about any Internet radio service, including Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz. Many portable high-res 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 pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip playlist. Just remember to share!

Loads of media options

If you like radio, you'll love the options the KW-V250BT offers, including controls for Pandora®. You can also add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner (SiriusXM subscription required) to get non-stop music, talk, and news stations that will stay with you on your longest road trips. And yes, you can still rely on CD playback and AM/FM radio too.

You can plug select Android™ phones or an iPhone® into the front-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. The display will show DVD video when you're parked, and you can also feed that video to backseat screens you can add for your crew.

Deep sound-sculpting

Once you pick your music, you can zero in on that perfect sound using the onboard 13-band graphic equalizer and digital time alignment – a great option that really puts you center stage. JVC's K2 technology spruces up the sound of MP3 files, Bluetooth audio, and other compressed digital music with some unique processing. Since many car speakers are located down low in the doors, JVC's Sound Lift feature adjusts your music's frequencies to virtually "raise" your speakers for more natural imaging. Three sets of preamp outputs provide a clean signal for adding amplifiers to boost your overall sound.

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.
