Jensen VM9313

has done great so far it freezes sometimes but other than that great sound.

Bought this for my son, he picked out the model. The first 4 retailers prices were so much higher that once I found Sonic Electronix I thought I had the wrong product. I have shared this retailer with many friends. It is the same product at almost half the price.

First the good stuff. For the money it has an incredible amount of features, is very easy to use, was easy to install, the LCD screen is really nice and it sounds great.



Now the bad. I have had a couple of issues with it. First, when playing music from the USB drive it sometime locks up which requires you to plug your memory stick into your computer and reinstall the songs. It locks up when the memory stick is still plugged into the stereo and the car is shut off and restarted. The only way to keep it from locking up is to either push the stop button on the stereo before you shut the car off or advance to a new song as soon as you restart the car. If you get into the routine, it will work perfectly. If you forget though, it will lock up and you can't use your memory stick until you can get to a computer. Second, the 3.5mm axillary input on the front of the unit does not work. It didn't work from the very beginning but I don't really want to be without my stereo for a period of time while I send it back to have it fixed, so I have done nothing with it yet. Third, I use a BTM10 Bluetooth receiver with this unit. It works flawlessly but there is no separate volume for the bluetooth device. The bluetooth device requires a volume of about 20 so if you're listening to music at a low to moderate level you have to turn the volume up when a call comes in. But when you hang up from a call, the radio comes back on at 20 and almost blows you out of the car if you're not quick to turn the volume back down. There are separate volume controls for CD and axillary devices but not for bluetooth. Why??



So, there are some quirks with this unit but once you get a handle on them, they're not bad to live with. All-in-all, it's a really nice unit. I bought it because of the LCD screen, features, price and the fact that when the screen is closed, you still have a small LCD which displays a clock, radio stations and other info. All of these things work great. If I could get some new firmware to get the USB to stop locking up and the auxillary input worked I would be much happier with it.

Just bought mine a week ago, Installation was a little painful in my 96 impala but i managed to shove it all in. I would recommend planning how you will wire the cables before hand. The features are awesome for the price. IT even plays videos from my 120gb ipod classic! it has other accessories to expand like nav and bluetooth maybe later for me. my first install and i love it. i always wanna be driving in my car. It increased the quality my factory speakers put out. no complaints, just sometimes the touch screen is a little weird not too bad, and the ipod interface which is pretty decent just a little hard to navigate if u have a lot of artists other than that awesome.

I was looking for a simple CD player when I came across the Jensen vm 9313. I bought it simply because it had a USB input. I thought I could use it to charge my phone and MP-3 player. I was surprised when I opened the box. It took about 20 minutes to get everything out of the box and unwrapped. This is not the the cheap Jensen I remember from my first system 25 years ago. After installing it I was overwhelmed. great sound and easy to use. One thing check flip out height mine hits my dash and had to modify install kit, but it was worth it. The remote is a little cheap but the only problem I've found so far.
