Jensen VM8013

I looked for a long time before I decided on this head unit. It was either this or a Pioneer. I'm glad I chose this one.

The pros: excellent quality sound. This unit made my 50 watt rms Blaupunkt 6 1/2's sound good, at least, better than the factory radio did. This would be a great addition to a low end OEM system. I like being able to convert all my music videos to XviD and burn them to a DVD that will actually play in my car. It fit very well in my '91 Honda Prelude Si; except that it was a little longer depth-wise than I realized, and was very snug in that sense. I've tested my 16gb SDHC card up 11gb or 1400 songs, and it can read them.

The cons: the radio functions, normal dvd functions, and normal cd listening functions are simple enough to use; however, Navigating a dvd full of XviD files or an SD card with multiple folders is a bit frustrating. You'll have to press left or right, folder by folder, to get where your going. When playing MP3 or WMA, the words in titles don't scroll like you would think, and it only shows about the first 10 letters of what it's displaying. It can show album art, though I haven't found a way to display it with the music. The low wattage means you'll probably need amplification if you've got speakers that can handle more than 50 watts.

All in all, I still think I got about the best, most functional, quality stereo I could have got for this price range. Don't let the list of cons throw you, you would be hard pressed to find another unit with these features, let alone for them to be more user friendly. Especially for the price

it not only plays DVDs but it also plays your Ipod using the radio controls while charging it. and don't forget about the SD card port I love it. I mean you can download videos and watch them in your car.the only thing missing for this product is the Bluetooth ,but hey for the price i think it is a really good deal. so yes you can say that I really recommend this product.

It did mount in my Honda Passport (97') with a little extra filing of the case mount in the dash. It looks good and plays good, the dvd is cool. and with one click on the old emergency brake I can view the screen. I had it installed at C** T*** in Tigard, Oregon. They said it normally would not have been allowed to be installed in my vehicle but I coaxed them into giving it a shot, and it fits like a glove, literally perfect. Thanks for the sale and knowledge of its specs when I bought it.

I love the head unit. The only disadvantage I see is the 2V preamps, but I have them hooked to infiniti amps and infinity speakers and sub. Unit sounds awesome, picture quality is great. It's a little hard to navigate through lots of songs, but I have a 4 gig data stick that I plug into the usb(therein the navigation issue). IPOD control is just like your using the ipod itself. I have no complaints, worth every penny.

Installation was very quick and easy, i have been using it for 8 months now with no problems. It gets good radio reception, quickly loads music cd's and dvd's. Loading a SD card does take some time to load and if you don't push the face plate completely closed the color in the screen doesn't work. I have not yet used the USB port, AC port or the video input. This is a very satifying product.
