JVC KD-X380BTS Digital media receiver (does not play discs)

About the JVC KD-X380BTS

So many music options

I stream music from my iPhone® every day, but my back-up music source is a flash drive packed with favorite songs. JVC's KD-X380BTS digital media receiver is the ideal 2" tall solution for a driver like me. Built-in Bluetooth® connectivity for hands-free calling, a front USB port, and an aux input make playing music from your phone quick and satisfying. And if streaming isn't your thing, you can add a SiriusXM® satellite radio tuner (sold separately) for loads of entertainment options.

Alexa voice control

With Alexa, you can access music, audiobooks, news, weather, traffic, and smart home controls using your voice. After you load the Alexa app onto your phone and pair your phone to this JVC receiver, simply press the dedicated "Alexa" button on the faceplate for easy voice control.

Phone-pairing for two drivers

No matter what kind of phone you're using, Bluetooth pairing is automatic every time you hop in the car. You can also pair two phones at once — if you share a vehicle, getting connected is less of a hassle than adjusting the rear-view or getting the driver seat the way you like it. And when it comes to streaming audio, JVC's Streaming DJ feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can chime in with their favorite song on the road.

The accent and button lighting is customizable for this receiver.

Use Android™ or Apple®

JVC makes streaming straightforward by letting you play music, podcasts, and audiobooks from services like TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and Amazon Music. And JVC's remote control app lets you use your compatible Android or iPhone touchscreen to control the action on your receiver using finger swipes and gestures.

With a wired connection, you'll be able to take advantage of the USB port's powerful 1.5-amp charging capability.

Plus, satellite radio compatibility

Pile on the entertainment by adding a SiriusXM® tuner (sold separately) to your KD-X380BTS and start enjoying the wide variety of music, sports, news, and more. The best part is you can drive coast to coast without losing your favorite channels.

Cool colors

JVC provides some super tools to match your new receiver to your interior lighting. With 2-zone variable color illumination, you'll get to dial in your look with two different colors on your JVC face. You can even sync the lights to match your music.

Top-notch audio tools

The KD-X380BTS plays MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and even FLAC files, and you can make the most of them with a wide array of sound-shaping tools, including time alignment to focus the sound at your seat, Sound Lift to raise your music from depths of your doors, and a 13-band graphic equalizer. Plus, JVC's proprietary K2 sound enhancement technology brings out the best in each song.

Always room to expand

JVC opens up more possibilities for sonic improvement by arming the KD-X380BTS with three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs. When you're ready, you'll be able to easily add amps and a sub to your system.
