Make a USB connection
With your smartphone connected to the KD-X320BTS, you can listen to your phone's internal memory as one source and access its microSD card as another.

The Drive Change feature allows you to connect a memory card reader or USB hub to the JVC's USB input and select music from up to five memory cards or USB flash drives.
Expand your system for better sound
The KD-X320BTS has the connections you'll need if you're planning to build a complete car audio system. When it's time to add a powered sub, you can switch the rear preamp outputs over to subwoofer mode to control your bass from the receiver.
Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with this car stereo.
