January 2009, Cypress, Calif. -- JVC Mobile Entertainment's new 2009 lineup includes many products offering built-in Bluetooth® technology and Bluetooth® ready capability for hands-free calling and increased convenience and safety.

JVC Mobile and Arsenal Series Receivers that feature built-in Bluetooth® offer hands-free calling while driving. Phone calls can be made easily and received directly through the receiver, while voice recognition technology enables immediate dialing from the driver’s cell phone without the distraction of handling the phone while driving. Phonebook entries can be stored and accessed on the receiver and text message notification can also be displayed on-screen.*

New 2009 JVC In-Dash Dual USB receivers: KD-R900, KD-A805, and KD-R800 feature full Bluetooth® functionality via an included USB Bluetooth® adapter, or “Dongle” with separate high-quality external wired microphone. The included USB Bluetooth® adapter operates as a fully-functional receiver, transmitter, and antenna for Bluetooth® and plugs into either of the KD-R900’s USB ports enabling: hands-free calling, voice dialing, wireless audio streaming, text message notification, and phonebook transfer.

JVC’s 2009 in-dash CD receivers with Bluetooth® technology also include PBAP, or “Phonebook Access Profile” capability. This feature allows direct view and selection of phonebook entries without requiring any additional action or information transfer. PBAP also allows access to all phonebook entries, regardless of how many number entries are stored in the cell phone’s memory.

Bluetooth® connectivity allows music enthusiasts to listen to their favorite songs and artists wirelessly from iPod®/iPhone™**, cell phone, or other Bluetooth® enabled devices through the receiver. It also allows the listener to control PLAY, PAUSE, and SKIP features on paired devices directly from the receiver.

The following receivers from JVC Mobile feature built-in Bluetooth® technology:
* KD-NT1 Navigation Receiver
* KD-AVX40 Multimedia Receiver
* KD-ADV49 Multimedia Receiver
