## Description

From the manufacturer USB car radio with DAB+ and Bluetooth hands-free kit (USB, AUX-In, 3 x pre-out 2, 5V, desertcart Alexa, sound processor, 4 x 50 W, VAR. lighting) The KD-X482DBT media receiver can be easily installed thanks to its low installation depth of just 100 mm and thanks to its high-reception DAB+ receiver, not only offers brilliant digital radio sound, but is also a versatile entertainment artist and comfortable smartphone all-rounder. With the integration of the desertcart Alexa function, the digital voice assistant can now be used comfortably via the car radio. Digital radio DAB+ with automatic switching DAB/FM The DAB+ tuner receives the extensive range of digitally broadcast broadcasting programs in fantastic quality free from any noise - and not only in Germany, because digital broadcasting is now available in almost all European countries. "Seamless Blending" allows uninterrupted reception even if the digital signal is temporarily unavailable. Then the receiver switches to the corresponding FM transmitter in a flash, virtually inaudible manner and back again. This listening comfort is made possible by a data buffer, which permanently stores the digital and analogue signal of the selected program and coordinates with each other when switching. Bluetooth hands-free kit with audio streaming The Bluetooth module allows safe calls while driving and can be paired with up to two phones at the same time. The voice quality of the hands-free device is noticeably improved by the use of the included external microphone, plus a sophisticated sound processing, which suppresses background noise and thus further increases speech intelligibility. The first time pairing of a smartphone is completely easy thanks to "BT automatic pairing" for iOS and Android and is first done via USB connection. Then smartphone and car radio are automatically paired via Bluetooth. Compatible with desertcart Alexa You can even contact Alexa from desertcart via this JVC car radio. Thanks to the integrated Alexa voice assistant, you can make phone calls, play music, retrieve audiobooks, news or weather forecasts, perform smart home functions, search car parks, give navigation instructions, or, or - and thanks to the Smartphone voice control Hands on the steering wheel and eyes in traffic K2 sound tuning technology for digital sources The K2 technology developed by JVCKENWOOD restores the original sound of a recording by extending the bit rate and frequency range. The K2 technology works with all sources including the CD and expands its recording spectrum to 48 kHz/24 bit for example by reconstructing lost tweeter components. Variable button lighting in 2 zones The lighting colour can be individually adjusted for two areas. 49 preset colour combinations and a user preset open up almost endless possibilities for personalising the front lighting. In addition, RGB values can be entered manually in 32 levels, so that over 30,000 shades are available. If desired, the lighting changes over 10 selectable animations to the rhythm of the music. DSP with runtime correction The DSP with runtime correction allows the time correct music playback and is individually adjustable for each channel. With the selection of the speaker type used and the respective distance to the listening position, the car radio automatically calculates the ideal delay of each individual channel to ensure a time-correct arrival of the sound at the listener. This achieves an ideal space and location. Low installation depth The space-saving electronics with an installation depth of just 10 cm allows installation even in vehicles with particularly short DIN bay.

### ⭐ Absolute junk, all three units uninstalled and binned.
*by D***N on 11 September 2025*

Absolutely awful, no easy access to Bluetooth pairing button,but worst of all Screen brightness even at full can barely see screen. Boss has ordered all 3 brand new KD-x482DBT units removed due to vehicle users unable to see dull screen for info like source and station etc. 5 different people tried to adjust dimmer & brightness unsuccessfully. Complete Junk
