JVC KW-M785BW 6.8" Wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay Head Unit

JVC's KW-M785BWS offers a bevy of must have features you want in an aftermarket headunit like both wired and wireless support of your mobile device via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wired screen mirroring for your phone, support for extended OEM features thanks to compatibility with iDatalink Maestro, an onboard digital EQ and Time Alignment feature for ultimate tunability, high voltage RCA preouts for superior expandability and dual concurrent phone support for safe and effortless communications. It integrates all features present on the DMX7522S and adds support for DABS+.

Apple CarPlay turns your JVC head unit into a bigger and better version of your iPhone. With a simple connection via USB, your favourite iOS apps are reimagined and selectable on the big screen. Navigate with maps, stream your favourite music from Spotify or iTunes, make phone calls, and even read and reply to text messages all via your touchscreen or using Siri voice control. The powerful USB connection also ensures your iPhone stays fully-charged, no matter how long you're on the road.

Connect your phone directly to your JVC receiver and enjoy all of the best Android apps and features on the big screen. You can use Android Auto to safely navigate, communicate, and entertain – plus Google Assistant can access all of your features completely hands-free. Navigate with Google and WAZE maps, send and receive messages via SMS, Messenger, and WhatsApp, listen to Spotify and Google Music, or explore a world of compatible apps on the Google Play Store. The USB connection ensures you always remain connected while keeping your phone charged at the same time.

Experience the best in-car entertainment on a huge 6.8-inch capacitive touchscreen. Using the same technology as your smartphone, the JVC screen allows you to touch multiple points at the same time and control your AV receiver with minimal effort. Photos and videos are displayed with stunning clarity and brightness, while all of JVC's widgets and apps are available at the touch of a button. The backlit display also features anti-glare and anti-fingerprint technology, delivering a crystal-clear viewing experience every single time.

Mirroring is a simple and effective way to view and control your Android smartphone on your JVC dashboard display. With a simple connection via USB, your Android device is now displayed on the big screen, and 2-way control is also available on compatible models. Mirroring is perfect for viewing photos, watching videos, navigating with maps, or simply sharing your favourite content with other people in the car. The USB connection also charges your phone as you drive, ensuring that you never run low on battery even during those long trips.

Increase your parking and driving safety by connecting up to two external cameras to your JVC AV receiver. With a wide-screen display right in front of you, reverse cameras take the stress out of reversing, parking, and towing. Easy to select through your JVC touchscreen, the cameras are displayed in crystal-clear definition and provide greater peace of mind whenever you're on the road.

The reduced depth of the chassis contributes to a weight reduction and facilitates easier installation. Most traditional head units occupy a depth of 6-1/4" or 160mm, which in a double DIN configuration can make installation quite tricky when routing the extra cables involved with a well optioned setup. The KM-M785BW comes in at 2-15/16" or 75mm, making positioning a breeze.

With dual-Bluetooth technology, you can now keep two phones paired full-time and double your entertainment, communication, and navigation options. Your selected phones will automatically connect to your Kenwood receiver any time they're in the vehicle, eliminating the need to regularly pair and un-pair devices. You can now also receive an incoming call on either phone while continuing to stream music or navigate with maps on the other. Once again, Kenwood has set the new standard when it comes to staying connected on the move.

Compatible with both the Automotive Data Solutions iDatalink Maestro RR and RR2 (sold separately)* for enhanced system vehicle integration. In addition to providing the seamless factory integration experience you have become accustomed to with the RR, these models feature expanded support when connected to the RR2, including an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Widget, Customizable Accessory Controls, and compatibility with specific ESCORT radar detector systems (sold separately).

*Available features vary by vehicle
