Does this need an antenna ? null

Thank you for considering JVC for your car audio needs! Yes, the JVC KW-M590BT receiver requires an antenna to receive AM/FM radio signals. While the unit includes a GPS antenna for navigation purposes, it does not come with an AM/FM radio antenna. Therefore, to utilize the radio functionality, you'll need to connect the receiver to your vehicle's existing antenna or install an aftermarket one. If your vehicle's factory antenna connector doesn't match the receiver's input, you may need an antenna adapter to ensure proper connection (sold separately). It's advisable to consult with a Geek Squad professional installer at your local Best Buy to determine what is required for your specific vehicle. You can also reach out to our team for assistance—we’re happy to verify compatibility or answer any questions. Please contact us at 1-800-252-5722 or email us at customerrelations@jvc.com with your vehicle’s make, model, and year, and we’ll guide you from there. Thank you for choosing JVC—we look forward to helping you upgrade your car audio experience! Best regards, The JVC Customer Relations Team
