JVC KW-M590BT Digital Media Receiver featuring 6.8" Capacitive Touch Monitor / Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto™ / USB Mirroring / Bluetooth® / 13-Band EQ / Short Chassis

The JVC KW-M590BT Digital Media Receiver brings a 6.8" WSVGA capacitive touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in Bluetooth, USB mirroring, a 13-band graphic EQ, and time alignment to the double-DIN format — all in a short-chassis design that installs cleanly in vehicles where rear depth is limited. At $279.99, the KW-M590BT delivers the core smartphone integration and sound tuning features that enthusiast installers and daily drivers demand, without the premium price of wireless CarPlay/Android Auto units.

The centerpiece of the KW-M590BT is its 6.8" WSVGA LCD display — approximately 1.6x higher resolution than conventional WVGA displays, delivering sharper text, more detailed color gradients, and a more refined visual experience for navigation, media, and backup camera feeds. The capacitive touchscreen responds to lighter contact with greater accuracy than resistive panels, and supports gesture touch control for intuitive swipe-based operation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect via USB, giving iPhone and Android users full smartphone integration for calls, navigation, and music with voice control through Siri or Google Assistant. USB Mirroring via the MirrorApp+ app allows compatible Android and iPhone devices to mirror their full screen to the head unit display, enabling apps like Waze, YouTube, and Instagram. Bluetooth connectivity supports hands-free calling via HFP 1.8 (HD Voice), audio streaming via A2DP/AVRCP 1.6, phone book access (PBAP), and voice dialing. The 13-band graphic EQ with 7 presets plus 3 user memories and time alignment give you precise control over your system's sound. Power output is 50W x 4 max / 22W x 4 full bandwidth with 2 preouts + dedicated subwoofer output (2.5V, 10k ohms). The short chassis design (86mm depth) simplifies installation in tight dash locations. The rear USB port supports 2.1A high-current charging.

The KW-M590BT is an ideal head unit for enthusiast builds pairing a 4-channel amplifier with a dedicated subwoofer — the 2 preouts + sub output configuration covers front/rear and subwoofer channels cleanly. Steering wheel control compatibility is retained via a third-party adapter (sold separately). Backup camera input is included. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for installation guidance and compatible steering wheel control adapters for your specific vehicle.
