Its 2-line VA LCD display is designed for broad viewing angles, while two-zone variable-color illumination allows front-panel lighting customization. The detachable faceplate, trim plate, mounting sleeve, and wiring harness are included for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis receiver fits a standard Single DIN opening and is intended for in-dash mounting at an angle of less than 30 degrees. Use a vehicle-specific wiring harness where available, connect the 10A fused power wiring correctly, and match connected speakers to the specified 4 to 8 ohm impedance range. For expanded systems, use the dedicated 4V RCA pre-outs with external amplifiers; SiriusXM requires a separately purchased compatible tuner and subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JVC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45632704643142,"sku":"KD-X38MBS","price":278.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61HkO91yPzL.jpg?v=1784401895","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/jvc-kd-x38mbs-single-din-marine-digital-media-receiver","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
