JVC KD-SR87BT Bluetooth CD Car Stereo Receiver - USB, 13-Band EQ

The JVC KD-SR87BT is a single-DIN CD receiver designed to replace a factory head unit with significantly better audio performance and modern connectivity. At its core is a 50-watt x 4 amplifier paired with a 13-band equalizer and digital time alignment, giving you granular control over frequency response and speaker timing to compensate for the acoustic challenges of a vehicle interior. JVC's K2 Technology works alongside the EQ to analyze compressed digital audio and restore detail that is typically lost during encoding, which is particularly noticeable when playing MP3 or streaming audio over Bluetooth. The receiver also supports high-resolution FLAC files via the front USB port, making it one of the more format-flexible options in its price range.

On the connectivity side, built-in Bluetooth supports simultaneous pairing with two phones, so a driver and passenger can both take hands-free calls through the included microphone without swapping connections. Wireless control of Pandora and Spotify is available for Android users, and the front USB port doubles as a 1.5A charger for keeping devices topped up during longer drives. The detachable faceplate provides basic theft deterrence, and the compact 1DIN chassis (7-3/16" x 2-3/16" x 6-1/8") fits standard single-DIN dashboard openings. Two-channel preamp outputs at 2.5 volts accommodate a basic rear speaker or subwoofer amplifier, though more complex multi-amp setups will require additional signal processing.
