JVC KD-ADV49

The JVC KD-AVX792 is an in-dash CD/DVD/USB car-multimedia receiver outfitted with a 3.5” widescreen touch panel display and a proximity sensor. A peer to the JVC KW-AVX792, the JVC KD-ADV49 maintains a much smaller display (versus 7”), but comes jam-packed with a bevy of features such as a 7-band iEQ, a high-pass filter, a dual zone function, and a multilingual display, not to mention a full-speed USB 2.0 port for connection of iPod/iPhone(s), USB flash memory devices, digital audio players, and portable HDD players.

In addition, the KD-ADV49 sports a DVD/CD player that supports WAV/MP3/WMA audio files, DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 video files, and JPEG picture files. Plus, the KD-ADV49 is HD Radio Ready, Satellite Radio Ready, and Bluetooth compatible, and in fact comes equipped with a USB Bluetooth adapter (receiver, transmitter, antenna). The KD-ADV49 also boasts Dolby Digital, MPEG, and AAC audio decoding. Lastly, the KD-ADV49 includes a detachable control panel, an AM/FM player, gold-plated output terminals (front/rear/subwoofer/center/second-audio/composite), a wireless remote, and a headphone surround. The JVC KD-ADV49 retails for $579.95 (same as the KW-AVX792) and comes with a 1 year limited warranty. Additional service plans are available for a fee.
