JVC KW-NX7000

Very Impressed

I have owned this product since May 2009 and enjoy it each time I drive. Here are my thoughts.
This unit is well laid out. Great display and graphics with many features, from maps - movies, radio - ipod and even SD card. Blue tooth is a must these days and works well. Ipod? everyone has one, spend the money for the ipod adapter. You will not regret it. HD radio? I find that the stations skip through the song (like a skipping CD), making it hard to listen to a whole song or station. The rear-view camera is PHENOMINAL, we love it. It covers the same area as from R side mirror - L side mirror.
The Navteq maps work well but are a little out of date. Some of our roads are still farm fields and mountains in this units map. Worse yet, JVC offers no update. You must go directly to Navteq, who, coincidentally charges for the mapping update for this unit, which is not even available yet (frustrating). At least 1 free map update should be offered, especially when you just purchase a system that has been on a shelf for how long? And the maps are so far outdated.
Other than maps being outdated, the nav. part of the system works great, with pinpoint accuracy.

This unit is well worth the coin!

Pros: Tilting face, removable face, very easy to use, all options.
Cons: MAPPING (is out of date). Very upsetting! :(

dependable unit

Pros
This has been working in my Toyota Sienna reliably for the past 4 years. navigation map is excellent. Only occasionally has trouble finding GPS signal.

Cons
It is annoying that there is no way to dim the screen at night. This function could have been added with no effort. The digital volume control does not have a fine enough gradient to allow you to smoothy fade volume to just the right level. the bluetooth accessory never worked properly with the unit despite replacing the accessory twice.

JVC Navigation Head Unit

The Kw-Nx7000 is an awesome product. Has almost every bell and whistle you can ask for. It is real easy to use, instructions are very thorough. One of my tweeters went out, and the unit had a auto shutoff if one of your speakers is damaged and might cause damage to the unit. The only thing I did not like was when I bought it the navigation map was already two years outdated (2007 software) and the upgrade from Navteq is $169.00 after shippiing is added, and in my area there is a lot of new construction in the past two years and the navigation goes "blank" in a lot of areas around my city. Other than that you can add almost anything you want to the deck: Hd radio, satellite radio, SD memory cards, portable hard drives, blue tooth phones and blue tooth audio devices (On the blue tooth phone everything is available on the touch screen(Phone book, texts, etc.)) You can also detach the entire screen for security purposes. Great product!!!!!

Best value

Good product and i will recommend it to my friends. It looks great in my tacoma.

decent

This unit is decent. The JVC menus have always been pretty forthright and easy to figure out. The value for dollar is probably better than anything else in the market right now. I added bluetooth (ksbta200) and iPod (ksu20), both work. Navigation works fine.

Pros:
Detachable face is pretty tight.
Proximity sensor (you can program the proximity sensor so that the illumination goes off until your hand approaches) is pretty tight.
Programmable start up and shut down messages is pretty tight.

Cons:
Even with the ksu20 direct USB ipod cable, navigating the ipod menu from the unit is slow. Every time you push a button, it says "please wait" for at least 5 seconds. EVERY time. Very irritating.
I park in a garage. When you start the car in the garage it reads "Lost GPS signal". This is understandable until you get out of the garage, but instead it stays that way for awhile, even 10 minutes after you've left. It seems it cannot recognize the signal if started up without one...

Other than that, price is right, quality is good, and it is easy to use. I've come to realize that there is no "perfect" unit, which works EXACTLY the way you want it to in EVERY single way.

JVC KW-NX7000

The unit itself is very good. I have the BlueTooth adapter working with an Lg cell..no problems. I have the Satellite adapter for sirius and it does it's job but don't expect the same as the pods for scrolling what is on other stations. The dvd /cd work great, lots of features to change screen adjust sound for your liking. The navigation is good ,voice direction is somewhat clear the map is readable but the drawback,my unit is six months old and the map by Navteq is very outdated. THE MAP UPDATE FOR A BRAND NEW UNIT IS 135 DOLLARS and JVC says they have nothing to do with it. SO please keep that in mind when you go to purchase a JVC you might want to spend on another product because the map upgrade adds to the cost.

Great DVD and GPS double din head unit

I've had this from August, 09 and have not had any complaints.

Pros: Sonics Price, Equalizer, Touch Screen, Tilt options, Removable Screen, and the ease of using it - either by touching screen or button presses

Cons: 3 things- 1) It took to long to install...didn't know I was going to be custom installing it even though it had a green check next to it for my car. 2) The warning screen that comes on every time you drive...anymore if I'm just driving down the street or so I don't even hit the "Okay I Accept" button; I just ignore it. 3) Some of the roads or maps are out dated but not a biggie.

My first DVD and GPS head unit.

I bought this in August and haven't regretted it. For the price that it sells on here why would you pass it up.

Pros. Eq, DVD, and GPS all in one unit. Tilt Screen and it completely removes for security purposes.

Cons. the maps are a little out of date but I don't care...It's a upgrade from no GPS

So far no problems although I have not used everything on it yet. Although, I know I got a great stereo now

GPS\Satelite & HD Radio\ DVD PLAYER

This product does it all. Though Satelite radio doesn't work well in the trees. The GPS has gotten us out of many a pickle. But beaware that when looking for Diners. IT might send you to Joe Diners House or Dolly Diners House.

In The Washington D.C. Area we would be lost without this product.
It can be frustrating trying to get to certain screens such as changing from toll roads, fastest or shortest. We wish there was a Most direct route option. Also we wish the system was faster when trying to get to pois and search results.

Best all around unit yet

I have or have owned and used Navagation indash units from Alpine, Pionner and Kenwood. This is by far the best yet.

Pro's..
Traffic without XM radio, that shows how many lanes and what lane(s) to take to follow your route if multiple are avail. Posted speed limits shown for most highways and major streets.

Screen and interface is Very nice.

Bluetooth is BY FAR the best yet. Phone book takes 2 sec (190 entry's transfered) and Voice dialing.

Navigation lets you search for address and destination by phone number and is purely memory driven. No need to swap out disc's.

Removable double din face with included nice carry / storage pouch.

Cons.
Slightly slow Ipod everything. Not enough to matter at all.

No custom wallpapers, yet is a Windows operating system.

About a 20 sec start up delay, till the navigation is functional.
