About the JVC KW-V11

Dave Delamere

Gateway to multimedia

For those who want a larger display and simple controls, JVC's KW-V11 DVD receivers supplies a vibrant 6.2" touchscreen that lets you control and see info from your music and videos. Keys on each side of the screen allow you to access Source, Eject, Volume, and other frequently used functions, and you can customize the screen to display your five favorite sources.

Gateway to multimedia

For those who want a larger display and simple controls, JVC's KW-V11 DVD receivers supplies a vibrant 6.2" touchscreen that lets you control and see info from your music and videos. Keys on each side of the screen allow you to access Source, Eject, Volume, and other frequently used functions, and you can customize the screen to display your five favorite sources.

You can pop in CDs, DVDs, and USB drives loaded with digital music for hours of tunes for the road. Plug your iPod, iPhone, or flash drive into the front USB port for even more music on the go. A big thumbs up — iPhone users even get to enjoy Pandora® Internet Radio using the receiver's display and controls.

Video on the go

You can watch your favorite DVDs on the built-in screen whenever you're parked. This JVC includes a rear A/V input for a portable video player or video game console, along with a rear input for a handy backup camera. Once installed, the JVC's screen will show the camera feed when your vehicle is in reverse — a great feature, especially if you drive a larger vehicle.

Control your music

When your iPod's connected, you can view album art and browse through your playlists with a few swipes of your finger. Of course, the KW-V11 plays all your CDs, DVDs, and recordable discs, plus you can plug a thumb drive loaded with hours of MP3, WMA, and WAV music into the receiver's USB input.

The KW-V11's touchscreen controls let you easily navigate to your sources and set up your system. When your music is playing, you can use its Monitor Touch Control to quickly swipe basic controls such as skipping tracks and cranking the volume.

Apps for iPhone 4 or 4S

Got an iPhone 4 or 4S? Using JVC's App Link Mode, you'll get basic control over audio apps like Tunein Radio, including functions like play/pause or track up/down, and you can also view traffic info from Inrix, Cobra iRadar, and other driving apps. For powerful navigation, download the MotionX-GPS Drive app (subscription required) and you'll be able to see maps and live traffic reports on the receiver's screen. You'll still need to access your iPhone with this app, so consider adding an iPhone mount for easy use.

Making it all sound great

Select one of the eleven preset EQ settings, or you can use the 5-band parametric equalizer to adjust the tone for your separate audio sources. The KW-V11 also provides three pairs of RCA preamp outputs that'll send a clean, high-voltage signal to any outboard amps in your system. You can even adjust the crossover points for the speakers and a connected subwoofer.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?

In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with this car stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and radio, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. You'll see the adapters that work with your vehicle when you add this receiver to your cart.

iPod/smartphone note: If you're going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.

    Touchscreen Display

    6.2" TFT LCD Touchscreen Monitor: The JVC KW-V11 DVD receiver features a 6.2" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 touchscreen monitor. The screen has a resolution of 800 (H) x 480 (V) x RGB with 1,152,000 total pixels. The LCD serves as a video monitor, system information display, and touchscreen control panel.

    • Monitor Touch Control: Monitor Touch Control lets you operate certain functions of the KW-V11 by making specific gesture commands on the unit's touchscreen. You can adjust the volume of the multimedia receiver by making a circular motion with your finger on the unit's touchscreen. You'll also be able to skip music tracks by simply swiping the touchscreen from left to right.
    • Hard-Key Controls: In addition to the head unit's touchscreen monitor, the KW-V11 features frequently used hard-key controls along the left and right edge of the screen. Hard-key controls include Power, Source, Eject, Volume, and EQ.
    Note: There are ten options for the menu language including English, French, Spanish, and seven others.

    Display Adjustments: The JVC KW-V11 offers the following display adjustments to customize your visual experience in the car.

    • Customized Home Screen: You can select and arrange which sources and icons (up to 5) display on the unit's Home screen for easier, quicker access. Select the "ALL" icon to see all sources at one time.
    • Background: The unit's background color can be changed to one of three preset images or you can capture a custom image. While playing a video or JPEG file, you can capture an image and use the captured image as your background. When using a JPEG file as the background, make sure that the resolution is 800 x 480 pixels. The color of the captured image may look different from that of the actual scene. You cannot capture copyrighted content and images from the iPod/iPhone.
    • Picture & Aspect Ratio: You can adjust the brightness and black level of the unit's onscreen display. You can also adjust the contrast, color, tint, and detail level during video playback. The adjustment level for each setting is -15 to +15. You can also choose from four aspect modes (Regular, Full, Panorama, or Auto) for the in-dash display.10
    • Adjustable Dimmer: When the illumination lead (orange/white) is connected and the dimmer set to Auto, the display and button illumination will dim automatically when you turn on your vehicle's lights. The dimmer can also be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On (display is always dimmed), or Dimmer Time Set (you program the time for the dimmer to turn off an on).

    Clock Display: The DVD receiver offers a 12-hour clock which can be visible from any source or menu screen. With your vehicle's key in the accessory or start position, the head unit will continue to display the LCD background image, clock, and button illumination during "AV Off" mode. Pressing and holding the source button turns the unit off completely.

    Parking Brake Detection: To prevent the display of video while the vehicle is in motion, the light green wire (attached to rear-chassis) must be connected to the vehicle's parking brake detection circuit. You cannot view video unless your vehicle's parking brake is engaged. If you attempt to view video without the parking brake engaged, the unit's LCD touchscreen will simply display "Parking Off". While your vehicle is in motion (parking brake off), you can still view all of the head unit's menu screens/settings, source information, metadata, and album artwork.

    2-DIN Chassis: The JVC KW-V11 has a 2-DIN chassis (also known as "Double-DIN"), and will fit in many vehicles with a large dash opening. The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets. There is no mounting sleeve included for a Euro- or Custom-mount installation. As always, please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to verify fit with your vehicle.

You will also need a Pandora music service account. The JVC KW-V11 provides control over the Pandora music service and displays Artist, Album, and Song information.

    • Station/Genre List: You can select Pandora stations from your Station or Genre List by date or alphabetically (A-Z). You can also choose to randomly playback songs from all your registered stations.
    • Create New Station: New stations can be created based on the current songs or artists playing on Pandora.
    • Skip Songs: You can skip song tracks within a station. You cannot skip back to a previous song. Pandora limits the number of skips allowed.
    • Thumbs Up/Down: You can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down to help Pandora personalize stations to suit your preferences.
    • Bookmarking: The song or artist currently being played can be bookmarked & stored in your Pandora account.
    Note: Access to the Pandora service will depend on the availability of a cellular and/or WiFi network for purposes of allowing your iPhone to connect to the Internet. Pandora is not supported in Canada & only available in the United States.
    Audio Section

    24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KW-V11 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality with Signal to Noise ratio up to 99dB.

    MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-V11 is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the KW-V11 are as follows:

    • Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
    • Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (200 total watts)

    6ch/4V Preamp Outputs + Sub Control: The KW-V11 is equipped with 6ch/4V preamp outputs (Front, Rear, Subwoofer). The front and rear preamp outputs allow fader control, while the subwoofer preamp output is non-fading.  You can adjust the KW-V11's subwoofer output level (-50 to +10) independently from the head unit's main volume control for added bass volume. You can also adjust the phase of the subwoofer output between 180-degrees (Reverse) or 0-degrees (Normal).

    Built-in Crossovers: The JVC KW-V11 features a built-in high-pass filter for the unit's front & rear speakers, and a low-pass filter for the unit's subwoofer output.

    • High-Pass Filter: You can activate a variable high-pass filter (63, 100, 120, 150, 180 Hz or Through) for the unit's front & rear channels (speaker- or preamp-level), so low frequency signals are cut off from your system's front & rear speakers. The front & rear channel's high-pass filters can be set independently of one another.
    • Low-Pass Filter: The unit's subwoofer preamp output features a low-pass filter. In order to prevent high-frequencies from being sent to your system's subwoofers, you can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter to 55, 85, 120, 160 Hz or Through.

    Pro EQ: The KW-V11 is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ. The integrated equalizer offers 11 preset sound modes (Flat, Hard Rock, Jazz, Pop, R&B, Talk, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, Classical, Dance, and User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 5-band parametric EQ (Frequency, Level, and Q-Factor).

    Tone
    Frequency Q Level
    Bass 63 / 80 / 100 / 125 Hz 1.0 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 2.0 -10 to + 10
    Mid Bass 200 / 250 / 315 / 400 Hz
    Mids 630 / 800 / 1.0k / 1.25k Hz 0.75 / 1/0 / 1.25/ 2.0
    Mid High 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.15 / 4 kHz
    High 6.3 / 8.0 / 10.0 / 1.25 kHz
    Note: You can store EQ settings for each source (Disc, Tuner, AV, USB, iPod, and Pandora).

    Sound Extras: The head unit provides further sound enhancements for your car audio system.

    • Bass Boost: The JVCDVD receiver features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (1-2 or off).
    • Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can set the Loudness to On or Off.
    • Dynamic Range Compression: This function reduces a Dolby Digital soundtrack's dynamic range so you can hear quieter dialog without being overwhelmed by loud sections. You can choose a setting of On (reduced dynamic range), Dialogue (clearer movie dialogue), or Off (full dynamic range).
    • Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -15 to +6.

    Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

    AV Connections

    A/V Input: The JVC KW-V11 DVD receiver features a rear-panel 3.5mm AV input for connecting a permanent external A/V source, such as a Blu-ray player, gaming console, or mobile ATSC tuner. The rear-panel audio/video input can be set to one of the following modes:

    • AV IN: Choose when connecting an A/V component like a game system or Blu-ray player.
    • iPod: Select when connecting your iPod/iPhone using JVC's proprietary KS-U59 iPod video cable (sold separately).

    Camera In: The rear-panel Camera input consists of a composite video connector which allows you to connect an optional rear-view camera (sold separately). The unit features a reverse gear signal wire, that when connected to your vehicle's reverse light circuit, will automatically switch the KW-V11's display to the rear-view camera input. Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.0 seconds. Audio from your music source will continue playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.

    Video Output: A single RCA composite video-output jack allows you to an add external monitor such as rear headrest monitor (sold separately). The video output will display whatever video signal that is being displayed on the head unit's touchscreen monitor.

    Remote Control

    Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.

    Optional Wireless Remote: The JVC KW-V11 is wireless remote controller ready and supports the JVC RM-RK252P IR wireless remote control (105RMRK252, sold separately)

    I sort my music prior to loading my usb drive. Every device I have plays the music in order that it was saved to the usb except my JVC receiver. My JVC KW-V11 still will play the songs in alpha order. How can I get it to play in the order on the usb?

    Q
    got the unit but cant find in the manual where to put the PRK SW? some units say it has to go before the brake line somewhere. Others say it just needs to be grounded. Where does this wire attach?

    The PRK SW wire must be connected in order for the video playback functionality to work. The Proper way to connect it is to connect it to the switch on the parking brake, this insures that the DVD player won't function unless the car is stopped and the parking brake is on,\

    Needs to be on the none grounded side of the parking brake , so when you engaged the parking brake it will make a ground
    mitchell  Jul 22, 2015

    legally the wire must go to a wire that grounds when the park brake is on. Its a very important safety feature, so the driver does not get distracted while driving.

    No the display is stationary. However you are able to change the background via presets within the unit or upload one from a USB source.

    The details said you can watch DVD's while parked. This is for my daughter to watch movies on road trips, so it will still play them while driving also, is this correct?

    I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: Yes, the JVC KW-V11 has a video output that can be hooked to a rear seat monitor. The video output will be live at all times but the front screen would only show the video when in park. You will also get the audio at all times regardless if you are in park or not. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
