Product Description
Until now, the problem with many in-car GPS navigation systems has been confusing user interfaces, poor display screens, restricted map coverage, and slow performance. To address the growing need of drivers to have a strong and reliable navigation tool, Panasonic developed the Strada, HDD mobile navigation system, a user-friendly, high-capacity car navigation system which can easily instruct average, non-technical drivers where they are, where they've been, and how to get to their next destination.While serving as a driver's electronic navigator between points A, B and C, or any other combination, the Strada CN-NVD905U system can deliver radio broadcasts, real-time traffic information, and CD audio and DVD movie and can even play music and videos from an iPod allowing your car to be another source for on demand entertainment.Moving beyond navigation and entertainment, Panasonic's new navigation system also boasts several safety and convenience features, such as hands-free Bluetooth connectivity, an optional back-up camera to help avoid fender benders and the ability to program specific geographic areas that the driver wants to avoid.Complete with high-speed data to provide the driver with possible restaurant choices, gas stations and hotel accommodations along their trip, the Strada system, named after the Italian word for street, is truly the perfect driving companion.

 Great Model at Greater Price January 20, 2008
Everything you need, with nothing on the dash. I bought the panasonic expansion module, with the ipod cable, bluetooth kit, and a backup camera from pyle and an xm antenna from terk.
Great system!! February 4, 2008
This HU is great and decent map for the gps system, and I also bought and connect ipod cable, so I don't have to burn music to CD again, and I can control ipod by HU which is nice and sound quality is great too. The screen is very bright enough to use gps system in morning or afternoon and DVD also.. one thing that I don't like is gps and driving postion seems little slow, but after all I love this HU...
 Panasonic CN-NVD905U Review December 1, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have purchased the Kenwood DNX7100 and had the Eclipse 5435 and I have to say the Panasonic is better than both. The Kenwood sound quality without an amp is horrible and the music menu when using an mp3 cd is really slow. The navigation would also lead me in the wrong direction constantly. Another bad thing about the Kenwood is that it does not have hard buttons for track changing. That is really annoying you're trying to drive and you want to change the station or song and you have to look for a button the screen. The touchscreen functionality was also not very accurate. The Eclipse was over all really slow because it was a DVD based navigation. The sound quality on it was very good though and the navigation was accurate.
The Panasonic is a great mix of both! The sound quality without an amp is excellent, the navigation is very accurate and looks almost exactly like the eclipse and the button layout for both onscreen and hard buttons are great! This is by far the fastest unit and the touch screen is very accurate! The only thing I don't like is the layout of the music tracks when playing a cd. It displays 6 songs at a time but my Eclipse used to display up to 9 and it would display them quickly, the Panasonic lags a bit but not as bad as the Kenwood. I also wish that when you changed songs the music list would highlight the song you changed to and follow, but it just stays on the page you're on. Hard to explain.
Over all really good especially for the money. It's a lot better than most navigation units that are twice the price.
Works great for me!!! November 21, 2007

I have to say I was leary of this unit after reading the two reviews bashing the unit. I suppose its kind of dumb to bash a product because one thing doesnt work the way you want it to.
I absolutely love it, very fast with the navigation and the directions. My mothers suburban seems like its on a 5 second delay compared to this one.
The only thing that I am unhappy about is the inability to manually switch between day and night mode. Mine was installed bypassing the brake and park switches. Therefore, at night its like a beacon that lights up the entire car. Panasonic tried to tell me that you can switch it to night mode, but they are wrong, you can only switch to DAY mode from NIGHT mode. Since I cant get to night mode, then it doesnt help me any. I finally found a way around it though, go to menu-setup-navigation setup- and select the daytime map color as 4, it will be black like the night map. Then turn down the contrast and brightness and youre ready to go.
Overall a great unit, some downsides, but isnt every product that way. It does exactly what I want it to do, and for seven hundred bucks, you cant go wrong. Also, DVD's look great on this unit, just added 2 monitors in my headrests, works like a charm.
Very Good Unit at a Great Price December 13, 2007

I just purchased this unit a few weeks back, and so far so good.
The navigation is very fast with plenty of detail. It was a little difficult to use at first, and it takes some time getting used to in terms of figuring out how to find certain buttons. You also have to make sure you put the "N" in north or "Ave" in the street name or sometimes it doesn't find your destination. However, the navigation's speed makes up for the few quirks.
I currenty am using the Sirius tuner and iPod video adapter and they both work great. You will, however, need to download a firmware update onto an SD card from Panasonic's website in order to use the video from your iPod. Make sure you purchase the iPod cable that has a "V" or you will only send audio from your iPod. Also, you cannot operate the video from the unit itself. Once you are in iPod mode, you can touch the video button on the screen, but then you must use the play, stop and fast forward functions directly on the iPod itself. To me, this isn't a big deal since I'm more concerned about audio.
The Sirius works great and sounds good. You have a total of 18 presets and also a traffic button dedicated to a traffic channel of your choice. The unit even puts the Sirius logo on the screen; pretty cool in my opinion.
The DVD video looks good as well. If you ground the parking brake cable, you can watch DVDs while you drive, but this is not recommended and illegal in some states.
Bare in mind that you will need to use an expansion module to add more that one device (iPod, Sirius, Bluetooth, Camera, etc.). I am using this expansion module and it works well and installs very easily.
Overall, I believe this is an excellent unit with a few quirks, but at an outstanding value.
