More about the product
The JVC KW-M690BW is a double-DIN multimedia receiver designed to offer modern smartphone connectivity and customisable audio control. It features a 6.8-inch capacitive touchscreen with a clean, frameless glass design that blends well into most dashboards. The display is responsive and easy to navigate, making it suitable for everyday use.
This model supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with wireless and wired options. Users can access maps, music, calls, and messaging apps directly from a compatible smartphone without needing a USB cable. Bluetooth is also included for hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming. The unit supports dual phone connection, allowing two devices to be paired simultaneously.
Audio performance is enhanced with a 13-band graphic equaliser, time alignment, and high-pass/low-pass filters. The KW-M690BW supports FLAC files up to 96kHz/24-bit and includes JVC’s K2 technology to improve the quality of compressed audio. Space Enhancement and Sound Response features help tailor the sound to different vehicle environments.
The receiver includes a rear USB input, rear-view camera input, and three 4V pre-outs for adding external amplifiers or subwoofers. It supports steering wheel control integration with compatible vehicles and offers straightforward installation for most double-DIN setups.
The KW-M690BW also supports Android screen mirroring via USB, allowing users to view and control compatible apps directly on the receiver’s display.
