Missing Attachment

What more can anyone says about JVC?s string of releases this year other than simply amazing? All of 2008-released JVC products have impressed and surpassed many car audio enthusiasts? expectations with functionality, performance, and reliability. All of which is still true in the JVC KD-NXD505 single DIN receiver with built-in GPS navigation.

The JVC KD-NXD505 is a solution for many car owners who do not have the space for a double DIN installation but would like to still have the full functionality of in-dash navigation. The KD-NXD505 even supports DVD, DVD?R/RW, VCD, DivX, DivX Ultra, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, WAV, and WMA playback?virtually every file and media format you could possibly think of. Its 3.5? screen may be a little bit smaller than most in-vehicle LCD screens out there, but it?s a very high contrasting screen, enabling users to see it very clearly even in sunlight glare.
The single-DIN receiver features gold-plated RCA preamp outputs to both front and rear channels as well as a subwoofer channel. If you?re looking to add more current technologies, the KD-NXD505 is capable of accommodating XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, Bluetooth hands-free technology, as well as iPod connectivity with additional accessories. The KD-NXD505 has high quality digital audio processing capabilities as well as support for both Dolby Digital and DTS audio with a built-in 7-band parametric equalizer.

Tired of switching in and out your CDs or MP3 players? Don?t worry, the JVC KD-NXD505 also features a large internal hard drive that has 20GB free just for your media files?both audio and video. The other 20GB is reserved for the navigation features of the unit, which holds an astounding 13 million POIs (points of interest), covering your favorite restaurants, lodgings, gas stations, and more! The navigation unit is entirely built-in and integrated with no map discs or SD cards to switch in and out of. In addition, the KD-NXD505 could receive radio-based Traffic Messaging Channel, which could display heavy traffic and accidents in upcoming roads and freeways (major cities only).

The JVC KD-NXD505 is truly a unit that is compatible with virtually any vehicle in-dash set up, require little or no modifications to the dash at all. It has great built-in navigation functionality that is fast, accurate, and full of POIs. Its high-contrast 3.5? LCD touchscreen supports audio and video playback with high-fidelity gold-plated output connectors. The KD-NXD505 is really de facto solution for many consumers looking for the perfect combination of media playback and navigation capabilities.
