The JVC KD-AHD59 is an in-dash car-audio receiver that features a built-in MOSFET amplifier with a 200w max power output. The fourth of five JVC KD A/V head units, the JVC KD-AHD59 is a switch from its predecessors in that it offers a 7-band iEQ versus a 3-band iEQ.

Plus, the KD-AHD59 is Bluetooth compatible and Satellite Radio Ready. Lastly, the KD-AHD59 boasts a wireless remote, a detachable face, 5V pre-output terminals, a 24-bit digital-to-analog converter, and an auxiliary port that provides easy connection with digital audio players and other external devices.
