"Impressive, you will not be disapointed"
4.5 starson by dj4moniePros: Hard Drive Navigation, Divx Playback, 2 Line Sirius Radio Support
Cons: Can't sign up for RDS Traffic Trial, Some POI searches will turn up nothing
Summary: I got my NX-5000 installed just in time for my trip (not extended trip) to Vegas. Was having problems with my newly built HTPC so I decided to let a local installer put it in. There are only 3 extra wires that have to be connected in order for the Navigation to work.
Finding all the wires in my car were not hard, but again I just didn't have time to do it.
I ploted my trip to Vegas and it had me take a route I have taken before without Navi and it proved to be the fastest route to Vegas from the San Fernando Valley.
Once I got to Vegas I used it for everywhere I went. I only had to ask where something was once, as the map had old information and Im sure the source had not been updated before JVC released it to public. That is not JVC's fault, any Navi system can sometimes have you visit the old address of a business by accident.
All functions work fine, I haven't tried DVD/Divx playback yet. That is coming, so I will update that once I use it.
Some might think the screen is a bit small. PLEEASSSSSSE, I had people in the back seat and even THEY could read it without leaning forward.
The maps are clear and easy to read and you can advance the view if you need to see another turn, exit or even the next freeway you'll be taking.
All in all, its shizie!
I got it and a JVC Sirius Connect for less than what Crutchfield is charging. My unit came from JVC of Canada. I'm not sure if it has maps of Canada on it or not...
Updated
Read the manual fully!
I finally figured out how to join the RDS traffic. It works, kinda. It depends on where you are. If your in a remote area, don't expect it to work. If your in a major city it should help you navigate around accidents. I haven't really tried it yet.
You can also add stops along your route and I finally figured that out as well.
So like I said read the manual, the english section is 114 pages...
More ******** can be added later Im sure so keep track of JVC's japanese site as that's where the manaul says updates will appear.
The NX5000 isn't even on JVC's North American web site yet.Updated
