5.0 out of 5 stars JVC KW-NT1 GPS Navigation Review, June 26, 2009

By 

sciolist (TX, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JVC KW-NT1 Double-DIN Navigation with 6.4-Inch Widescreen Receiver with Detachable Touch-Panel Monitor, DVD/CD/USB/SD Card, iPod/iPhone/USB 2.0/Bluetooth (Electronics)

This is my JVC KW-NT1 GPS navigation REVIEW -- written on June, 26, 2009.

First off guys, This is my very first review, so I apologize in advance if I missed anything.

I have this unit for a TOYOTA CAMRY '06 and I was like everyone else when I was trying to decide which model to buy. There were NO reviews online ANYWHERE other than the video reviews from Sonic Electronix and Crutchfield (but they both did an okay job).

I am satisfied with my purchase. I bought it mid June 2009

The screen is nice, but when it is really sunny outside, the DVD video seems washed out because of the touchscreen layer. The GPS, radio, and ipod/iphone screens look fine. It's just the DVD playback that is not bright enough under extreme sunlight. When the sun is a bit more forgiving, like during sunset, the brightness is fine. And when your car is under any shade, the brightness is fine. Overall, the resolution and colors look good and the brightness adjusts to your headlights.

On other notes... The left side controls are touch sensitive, not physical PUSH buttons.

If you have a USB cord connected to the front, it'll block some of the screen view, depending on the height of the unit.

The bluetooth function works great with the iphone. Fast and responsive.

GPS options include 2D and 3D angle views. Includes useful Points of Interest (POI) locations with phone numbers you can easily dial to over bluetooth.

I have not installed HD radio, Satelite radio, or a Rear view camera.... So I can't comment on that.

I did not install this unit myself... .... So I also can't comment on that.

If you decide to keep your steering wheel controls, you'll have to buy a separate module. Using it will take some getting used to. --- This is NOT the fault of JVC, but of the makers of the steering wheel controls module/adapter. The steering wheel control module is a little slow for the volume control. Instead of a light push or tap of the steering wheel buttons, you'll have to give is a medium/hard push. Or you can hold the button down, but then the volume increases rapidly until you release the button.

Pros:
--Detachable faceplate - for added security. Includes soft case pouch for faceplate.
--Easy slot loading disc access - No motorized CD/DVD tilt (my personal preference).
--Works with iphone. Fast load times. Takes under 10 seconds to load.
--Fast GPS. Fast SD card reads. Fast iphone controls. Fast CD/DVD reads.
--FRONT AV and USB ports - USB charges the iphone while being able to use.
--Reads burned CD and DVD+R discs.
--Allows album art from iphone and SD cards.
--GPS reads out street names. GPS shows split screen detailed turns and directions. Has GPS voice lane guidance ("get on the left lane" , "prepare to turn left", etc.)
--Can listen to music while being directed by the GPS navigation voice
--Can play audio books at normal and above average speeds.
--Has a simple adjustable equalizer settings
--Reads my Sandisk 16GB (class 2) SD memory card - this is not official by JVC though

Cons:
--No volume knob.
--Low brightness in DVD video playback under extremely sunny days. --Doesn't automatically tag song or band names from the RADIO.
--No real time traffic GPS updates.
--No video playback from an SD card.
--No button color light choices (a choice of blue, green, or red would have been nice). No screensaver choices or customizable menus.
--Removing the faceplate takes getting used to. Not a big deal...
--NOTE:(press the button to eject the faceplate, then lift UP towards the sky then out)
--must remove faceplate to access SD card slot
--must keep SD card in the slot if you plan on adding your own customizable Points of Interest (POI) locations.
--Speed limits are not always displayed... depends on your city
--bluetooth phonebook transfer not compatible with the iphone

By law you're not allowed to use navigation while driving. In order to use navigation and the hands free dialing (as well as DVD playback) while driving, you need to bypass the parking brake switch built in to EVERY IN-DASH car navigation.

Go to a car stereo installation shop and have them connect the "parking brake" wire to a ground source. This will fix your problems!

Overall, I really like the unit. This is my first GPS in-dash unit. I would recommend it. Do not pay retail prices for this model or any model. I would try calling different local car audio installation shops and see if they have it in stock. Places like Walmart, Crutchfield, and Sonic Electronix overcharge! This model is not available at Best Buy or Mobile One.

I give it a 9 out of 10. A+

The overriding decision for me to buy it was:
-- IPHONE compatible
-- built-in Bluetooth
-- fast loading times (music, GPS, startup time)
-- DETACHABLE FACEPLATE
-- no motorized CD tilt mechanism
-- front USB input

I hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars 2009 Subaru Impreza STI, August 30, 2009

By 

Jonathan R. Goldman "Jon G" (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: JVC KW-NT1 Double-DIN Navigation with 6.4-Inch Widescreen Receiver with Detachable Touch-Panel Monitor, DVD/CD/USB/SD Card, iPod/iPhone/USB 2.0/Bluetooth (Electronics)

Vehicle Installed: 2009 Subaru Impreza STI

REVIEW: I was hesitant to make this purchase, because of the lack of
reviews on the KW-NT1. For this reason, I am going to go in depth with my experience.

The software is fairly intuitive to understand. After the install, it took about 5 minutes to configure GPS/bluetooth and familiarize with software. A great feature is the SD card slot -- what this means for me is no more CD clutter in the car; no more hooking up
IPODS/MP3 players, laptops. I bought an 8 gig SD card - transfered all my music to the SD card, and it pops right into the back of the face plate. I'll never have to change a CD again. All artist/song names are displayed on screen and it is easy to navigate through them.

Install Details: 90 minutes. mostly soldering wires for permanent connections. It fit PERFECTLY into the dash in my 2009 Subaru Impreza. Tips - be very careful removing the bezel. The plastic clips are very stiff in most cars - just don't use metal to pry off the dash trim.

I removed all the cages and mounting brackets from the KW-NT1, and transfered screwed on the two brackets from the OEM stereo from the Subaru. The holes on the JVC matched up perfectly in height and depth to the Subaru dash.

I mounted the GPS antenna under the front of the dash, which i could easly reach once the OEM stereo was removed. Satalite reception is fine under the dash.

I removed the front curtain airbag cover and wired up the bluetooth mic next to where the driver sun visor bolts on. As far as receotion - if I talk loud, it is difficult to understand me. At normal talking volume - the other end can hear perfectly.

As far as bluetooth pairing - it pairs up no problem with my HTC-Tilt phone, automacally when I enter the car. I dont have to manually push any buttons.

Additional hardware purchased: METRA 95-8902 (COMBO) double din kit + Harness. All the harness wires are labeled, so you know exactly what wires to connect to the JVC harness.

Recommendations: Go to dealer and ask a mechanic to pop off bezel
surrounding the radio.

I can't think of anything negative to say. I have used OEM GPs units in many different cars, and have had aftermarket ones - this is by far the best.

The only thing that didn't connect flawlessly - the connection to the antenna for FM/AM radio is different than the connection on the KW-NT1, so I have to find an adaptor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the stereo, February 7, 2010

By 

dave (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JVC KW-NT1 Double-DIN Navigation with 6.4-Inch Widescreen Receiver with Detachable Touch-Panel Monitor, DVD/CD/USB/SD Card, iPod/iPhone/USB 2.0/Bluetooth (Electronics)

I have had the JVC stereo for about a month. Installed it myself in a Ford truck. All that was needed was a wiring harness (recommended) and a dash kit. Bought both of them at alocal electronics store for about $40. Took about an hour to wire everything and about an hour to install in the dash, run the GPS and Bluetooth cables. EASY! Unit fired right up and works like a charm. GPS is better than in my Lincoln! Love the DVD player. All features can be used while driving if you ground the emergency brake wire coming from the unit, however illegal in places. Haven't noticed a volume control problem like I read about in other reviews. Only wish it had a remote control.
