New JVC KD-NX5000 is all the media you need in a car

When JVC was working on the KD-NX5000, they were thinking about how to get the bragging rights for best in-car receiver. Where do we begin? Well, it is a DVD/CD receiver with a 3.5 inch monitor, so when you�re in your car you can watch your favorite LOTR (when you�re parked of course). JVC couldn�t leave out a superb navigation system, with 16GB for navigation storage, easy destination search, map coverage of the US (all parts) and Canada, and a freaky voice that will lead you to your destination. Another cool feature that is related to navigation is the traffic tuner, which, when pressed, will give you up to date traffic information, so you don�t have to search your radio stations for 10 minutes only to catch the end of a traffic report. Of course JVC had to incorporate music into this receiver; 24GB of music storage, that is. Yes, that is 24GB of MP3, WMA, or WAV files just for your listening pleasure. Ok this is cool: there is an optional adapter which lets you connect compatible phones and mp3 players to the receiver, and it even lets you make calls with it. No word on pricing, but this looks to be pretty expensive. — Nick Rice
