The JVC KD-NX5000 does just about everything you could expect from your car stereo. In addition to its GPS navigation duties, the device can play audio and video files from CDs and DVDs; DivX-encoded video (MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats); JPEGs; and MP3, WMA and WAV audio files from recordable/rewritable CDs. Movies play in full 16:9 screen configuration on the device's 3.5-inch color LCD screen. The KD-NX5000's built-in hard drive enables drivers to compile their own media libraries, eliminating the need to bring stacks of CDs on the road. JVC estimates that the KD-NX5000 has enough capacity for 6,000 songs.
