Clarion NX500 Multimedia Navigation Unit Review

[robhens9]

for the money its not a bad system, easy to use, i had no problems with mine i got two solobarics l7s component rear and back seat speakers and a stroker 1000w mono amp, with the component set i sugest a extra amp for the inside door speakers but all in all not bad for the money

my nx409 broke, replaced with nx500, i am so dumb, there are better ones. graphic is so outdated, no music search function, no divx, for a 2010, i feel the product as left over from 2000

the touch screen on mine froze and it doesn't work anymore :/ i have to use the remote all the time now...

also when i listen to music from my Phone the bass seems to cancel out, im not sure if its my Phone doing it or the Stereo..

but the sound is the best sounding out of any stereo ive ever bought for the same price or less..

@talontooner I assume you're using bluetooth instead of the AUX to listen to music. I don't know this for a fact, but it seems that bluetooth is not capable of sending a lot of data over its connection. Or it mimics the phone's technique of only sending the midbass frequencies through. When I use the bluetooth I don't get any bass, and I have a system in my ride. I would recommend using an AUX to get the full sound. I know, its a pain; get a usb stick or old ipod.

[talontooner]

@tbone912 Yep you're right. It's though the Bluetooth. I was thinking the Phone probably did it to save power and also since the bass can't be heard through the Bluetooth headsets anyway. But thanks for your reply, at least i now know they're all like that i was thinking maybe there was something wrong with mine.

If you want to depend on GPS, then do not buy this. It's the worst GPS I have ever used. Doesn't see 20% of the addresses or streets. These addresses and street are over 7 years old I am speaking of.

A better camera and microphone is needed. You guys stuck in the 80s or something?
