Kenwood DNX 5220BT GPS System
July 26, 2008
The prime attraction of the Kenwood DNX 5220BT In-Board GPS System is its extra large Double Din DVD Touchscreen monitor. The screen of the device further offers a wide colour gamut on its TFT Active Matrix display that is effectively supported by a whopping 336,960-pixel resolution. This satellite navigation device facilitates complete navigation of the Western European countries including full coverage of the UK and Ireland . This GPS system allows not only instant Bluetooth features but also iPod control realised by USB-direct concept. The inclusion of a TMC Receiver gives it the status of a technological gizmo.
General Features of the device
The background of the screen is customisable here and the touch panel offered here is exactly of the interactive type and GUI controllable. The faceplate of this device is fixed and of the double din size. USB direct control is also facilitated here as well as a multifunction key operation. The user has the option of augmenting the system to wired steering wheel remote controllable with the help of optional interfaces. A digital clock also appears on the device.
DVD and Audio Capabilities
This GPS system allows an explicit DVD video playback along with VCD realisation. An enhanced option here is the playback of DivX files and the player promptly allows scan, random and repeat. This multimedia player also offers smart CD-R and CD-RW compatibility. The audio capabilities include the playing of MP3 and WMA files. A picture viewer is also an additional feature here materialised by JPEG playback. An FM stereo or Mono selector is also accommodated in this device.
Navigation
Navigation is at its best with the Kenwood DNX 5220BT Car GPS System , smartly realised by the inclusion of an array of remarkable features like TMC and a simple user interface. The integrated map data this system is strengthened with the inclusion of numerous points of interest and the graphical interface that offers ease of use is actively supported by an ABC or QWERTY layout selectable keyboard. The map displays can be presented here in 2D or 3D versions, day/night mode and auto zoom. The voice prompt of the device that gives turn by turn instructions is second to a text to speech facility that is given in 7 different languages. Re-routing through smart detour is another striking option here that optimises navigation along with a pre-programmable option of three best route variations as the faster, shorter and the most convenient. Finally, the user is also kept informed here with a trip computer that shows stopped, moving, current and average time displays.
