Spectacular

9.0

CNET Editor's rating: 9.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Kevin Massy
Review date: 2/2/07

The good: The JVC KD-NX5000 combines a usable, traffic data-equipped navigation system with a plethora of audio and video capabilities in a compact package.

The bad: Its irregular size, complex menus, and rough navigation maps leave something to be desired.

The bottom line: Aside from some usability niggles resulting from its compact size, the JVC KD-NX5000 offers about as many car tech features per square foot as you can get.
