It was easy to install not complicated. Love the radio. It does not have touch screen but that is ok with a small screen it would have been hard anyways. But with the remote I just move the cursor and am very fast at it now. I would have loved to get a 7" screen in my car but with the single din I was limited. I really wanted the navigation and DVD in my car so I tried this radio out. The screen is small compared to a 7" but you can actually watch a movie on this! I hooked up the handbrake wire to the ground so I can have the DVD playing while i am driving. The Navigation works great, is it the best? No It is not... but I don't use it that much and when i have it does the job just fine. If your one of the Apple or BMW geeks which nothing is ever good enough for you go back to where ever you came from. Considering the restrictions in space JVC packed alot of stuff into the radio and I am very happy... I have a 2 seater SLK so my daughter can watch her DVD's fine but if you have a 4 seater I can't attest to being able to see it from the rear but I am sure you could if you sit in the middle the screen is bigger than you think. For the price i love this radio. Oh yeah I love watching the cursor for the car in the navigation mode, I was in the parking garage and it was cool the cursor would turn everytime I turned the wheel in the parking garage.

I was looking around for a headunit for months. Decided on the JVC KD-NX5000 for its numerous features and accesabilty, but to my dissmay, it had been discontinued from every website google took me to... except one, Sonic Electronix. I have used them in the past and was happy with the products and service... but this was a refurbished, discontinued item which was (way less money than new) still a chunk of money. NO Problems, working and physical condition were very good. I recommend this unit to anyone who likes ALOT of bang for the buck!

I have a 1st gen (96-00) Sebring Convertible, which is 1.5 DIN and won't accommodate a flip-out scree unit easily.
This looks to be the only offering out there for single-din navigation... and it is actually discontinued. I shopped for several weeks after my CD changer died and I was unable to order a new replacement and finally settled on this.
Sonic is awesome as usual, their shipping was a little slow... but this was worth waiting for and is definitely worth the price. The hard drive is great (takes the place of my changer). The navigation software is the same you'll find in other headunits and you'll likely always be able to buy map updates.
DVD/DivX playback is great... especially with the remote. The controls take the learning curve to a whole new level... but it is totally understandable given the simplicity of the faceplate.
I actually came back to order a second unit and decided to write this review.

I bought this a year ago from here, refurb for the same price you see now. Everything works and works well my friend bought his couple years before me but he got it for like $1000!! i payed a lot less, haha. i love it, it can do anything you can think of. i wish i could update the gps tho, it has 2006 i think maps and i can't figure it out i have tried searching for a way. i mean it still works, just sometimes it will get confused espeically on new or changed roads, that is when you just have to know your surroundings some or click entire street and then just look for the number, if the number doesnt show because it is new, or w/e, conufusing you?? sorry.. haha just buy this!! unless u got money for newer one, then go for it.
i want an ipod classic 160gb tho cause i am always deleting music off the built in 24gb, but 24gb is a lot for your average human, most ipods are 2-4-8-16-24-32-160 pretty much so it does it's job, i just listen to everything and have artists full libraries...
