Overview
Highlights

Garmin GPS Navigation System -  DNX models offer the world's leading GPS navigation system by Garmin with preloaded NAVTEQ® map data of the United States and Canada, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Choose from different intuitive map view options including split-screen AV control.

  
Navteq Traffic - NAVTEQ provides real-time traffic data for over 90 major cities in North America, including Canada.  If traffic is congested up ahead or there is a road closure, the navigation system will automatically re-navigate the route to show you how to get to your destination, quickly and easily!  Alternatively, in manual mode, the system will add delay time to your trip so you can decide to avoid or continue on your current route.  Navteq Traffic includes a lifetime service subscription.
  
Lane Assist with Junction View - The Lane Assist function guides you to the appropriate lane to be in for upcoming junctions and interchanges, and Junction View displays a realistic view of upcoming road details facilitating a safer navigation experience.
  

Built-In Bluetooth - Bluetooth wireless technology promotes safe driving habits by allowing you to have a hands-free conversation while you drive without the need to hold a phone to your ear.  Incoming calls will be picked up up automatically or at the touch of a button if screening calls.  For outgoing calls, the easy to read display interface makes it easy to search the contents of your address book, recent calls sent or received and with a press of a button you're connected.  The DNX9960 also supports A2DP which gives you the ability to listen to music wirelessly from a Bluetooth enabled device.  

  
USB Connectivity for iPhone and iPod - All DNX models feature USB connectivty for audio/video playback from popular devices like iPhone and iPod when used with optional accessory cable.  Featuring an advanced graphic user interface, iPod browsing is done easily using Slide Touch to browse by album art, video titles, photographs, etc. from an iPhone or iPod. For added versatility, iPod control by Hand disables the receiver's integrated control, enabling passengers to control the iPod manually including some selected Apps.  The same USB connectivity allows users to connect USB thumb drives and external hard disk drives.
