Product Details
Upgrade your vehicle’s factory radio with the JVC KW-M180BT digital multimedia receiver. Its 6.8-inch capacitive touchscreen provides a clear, responsive interface for controlling music, Bluetooth calls, radio, audio settings, and compatible smartphone features.
The KW-M180BT supports Bluetooth hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, allowing you to make calls and enjoy music without handling your phone. Android users can also connect through USB and use the JVC mirroring application to display and control compatible smartphone content directly from the receiver’s touchscreen.
A built-in 13-band equalizer, digital time alignment, and multiple sound-adjustment options allow you to customize the system for your vehicle and listening preferences. The short-chassis design also provides additional room behind the radio, helping simplify installation in vehicles with limited dash space.
Please Note: The JVC KW-M180BT does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Android smartphone mirroring requires a compatible Android device, the JVC mirroring application, Bluetooth, and a USB connection.

Smartphone and Bluetooth Connectivity
The JVC KW-M180BT allows compatible Android users to mirror their smartphone display through a wired USB connection. After installing the Mirroring for JVC application and connecting the phone through Bluetooth and USB, compatible apps and smartphone content can be viewed on the receiver’s larger touchscreen.
Built-in Bluetooth provides convenient hands-free calling and wireless music streaming. Bluetooth voice-recognition support allows access to compatible phone functions, while AVRCP browsing makes it easier to search through folders and music selections from the receiver.
Sound Customization
The built-in 13-band equalizer allows detailed adjustment across the audio-frequency range. Digital time alignment compensates for the different distances between each speaker and the listening position, helping sound from the speakers reach the listener at the correct time for a more focused soundstage.
The receiver can power factory or aftermarket speakers directly, while its preamp outputs allow compatible external amplifiers and subwoofers to be added for increased output and improved overall system performance.
Rear-View Camera Ready
A dedicated rear-view camera input allows an optional backup camera to be connected. When properly installed, the camera image can be displayed on the 6.8-inch screen to improve rear visibility while backing up, parking, or monitoring a trailer.
