The second of three JVC KW-N GPS receivers, the JVC KW-NX7000 is an upgrade from the JVC KW-NT1 in that it offers a CD/DVD player and a 7” touch panel monitor with a detachable panel and a proximity sensor. Unlike its peer, however, the KW-NX7000 doesn’t feature built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, although it is Bluetooth compatible, HD Radio ready, and Satellite Radio ready.
In addition, the KW-NX7000 boasts a front-mounted full-speed USB 2.0 and AV-input connections that allow the user to connect their iPod/iPhone(s) and other audio/video devices directly into the receiver. While connected, the receiver offers 2-way control for iPod/iPhone units so that the user can control music selections from either the receiver’s touch panel or the iPod/iPhone itself. The KW-NX7000 also includes an SD card slot for MP3 audio playback, an adaptive volume control, a built-in MOS-FET amplifier with a 200w max power output, a rear view camera input, a J-BUS terminal, gold-plated input/output terminals, 3D map viewing, and comprehensive map coverage of the following areas: United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The JVC KW-NX7000 retails for a slightly more expensive $1199.95 (versus $1,099.05) and comes with a 1 year limited warranty. Additional service plans are available for a fee.
