90beater is right about the button colors at the bottom of the screen. It's really not noticeable. The nice thing about the AVIC-D3 was that you could select the LED colors but with this JVC, the LED's are so much smaller that it's really insignificant.

 

I have a black '07 Toyota 4Runner that uses that orange-yellow color on the dash. If you select the yellow color on the JVC then it matches okay (not nearly as good as the D3 but good enough). Because my interior is also black, I sometimes select the "Black" color on the JVC and that looks cool too.

 

- 90beater, I'm interested in finding out what you're able to do with the SD card. Experiment around with it and then post if it's not too much trouble.

90beater... where did you find an OEM Toyota double-din plate? Did you order from the stealership? Getting this thing as recessed as possible would be my goal.

 

Now I'm less worried about LED colors, however. As long as the screen color scheme vaguely matches the weird Toyota 4runner orange (which I still hate after two years) that'll do. But I'm still gonna try and find a dealer with a JVC demo unit so I can play with it. All the shops around here only seem to have Pioneers and Kenwoods.

I ordered it online from Carson Toyota. http://www.newtoyotaparts.com/product/?id=2185 a dealership that was cheaper than my local one.

 

 

And the screen I wouldn't worry too much about. At least on mine it is displaying the map 90% of the time.

Hi 90beater,

 

I have a couple of issues with my new KW-NX7000, nothing major but I was wondering if you had the same.

 

Navigation related problems:

 

1- In navigation mode, the speed limit doesn’t show-up on the screen and speed alert warning doesn’t work. I have properly configured them in the setting pages to have them work.

2- Entering an address starting by street name then by city, doesn’t ask for the door number. If I start with city, street, then I have the door number available. My example was 175 Route 393 South, La Sarre, Quebec.

 

Bluetooth related problems:

 

1- The phone status box doesn’t show my battery level and signal strength. My phone has the capability of transferring that information since I had these info with a Pioneer F900BT. (phone is Samsung BlackJack II)

2- In navigation mode, when I’m receiving a call, the call message box appears on the display for few seconds for me to pick-up the call and this is fine. The screen sensor makes this box disappear but when I approach my hand to the screen, the call massage box doesn’t reappear. The only way I can hang-up the phone is by using my phone or the JVC remote control.

 

Information from the unit

 

Model : KW-NX7000(J)

Software : 1.2.6.0

Map: 0.9.8.0

Can you please check if you have the same problems and also see if you have the same map & voice version than me?

 

Thanks for all,

1- In navigation mode, the speed limit doesn’t show-up on the screen and speed alert warning doesn’t work. I have properly configured them in the setting pages to have them work.

Both work on my unit. I adjusted the speed warning to the maximum 20 MPH

 

2- Entering an address starting by street name then by city, doesn’t ask for the door number. If I start with city, street, then I have the door number available. My example was 175 Route 393 South, La Sarre, Quebec.

Not following you 100% here. It will ask for the address number after the street name but I don't think it will ask for an apartment number if that is the detail you are asking.

 

Bluetooth related problems:

 

1- The phone status box doesn’t show my battery level and signal strength. My phone has the capability of transferring that information since I had these info with a Pioneer F900BT. (phone is Samsung BlackJack II)

Blackberry 8830 shows both signal strength and battery level

 

2- In navigation mode, when I’m receiving a call, the call message box appears on the display for few seconds for me to pick-up the call and this is fine. The screen sensor makes this box disappear but when I approach my hand to the screen, the call massage box doesn’t reappear.

Npt sure on that one, will have to try it out.

Good for You, I'm thinking that Canadian users don't have that feature yet or the older map version 0.9.7.0 has this.

I'm not clear either! What I mean is if you start the search by steet name an then city, I can't go a step further to start the route. I'm stuck at entering the city. For the same destination, If I start with the city and then the street name, all works OK.

Probably their firmware need to be upgraded to support my phone then.

This is appreciated

I tried to contact JVC by phone and by e-mail and no answers yet. Over two week now. Their supports really suffers. If you have any lead to give me, I'll take it.

To all KW-NX7000 owners:

 

have you tried it with a 2.5" hd?

if so:

 

is it quick? is it able to view video (divx) files?
