Jensen VX7020

Jensen VX7020

Get all the installation kit and you wouldn't have a problem. I install this on a 2010 Chrysler Sebring. Installation was very easy. The deck is not bad: 1. Easy to operate. 2. touchscreen is very responsive. 3. The picture quality on the DVD is beautiful. Here's what's lacking. 1. There is a lag when you activate the GPS and it's always late when it announce your turn 2. There is also a lag when activating the rear view camera. 3. Remote control quit.

Overall, for the price, I will recommend this one.

Great value

I've had this unit installed in my Acura RSX for over a month now, and so far I'm pleased overall with it. The number of features you get for the price is unbeatable. I've used: AM/FM radio, Sirius XM, USB thumb drive, navigation, CD/DVD, backup camera, and Bluetooth. Have not used the aux input or Pandora. Everything I've used seems to work well, especially the navigation. After some customization (like getting rid of the annoying speed warnings) the routes are easy to set up and follow. The installation went pretty well -- the instructions could have been a bit more elaborate.

The only negatives I have is that I cannot get the remote control to work, even after a replacement was sent by Sonix. Also, it takes a few seconds for the backup camera to come on once the car is put into reverse, which is a bit annoying. The stereo sounds great connected to the built-in Acura Bose system.

Great unit

I got this unit for a second vehicle because I wanted a backup camera and Bluetooth. I have a Kenwood from 2011 in my truck and did not want to pay the Kenwood price again. For the money, you can't beat this unit. I know it is newer but it is tons faster than my Kenwood unit. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the USB port is in front. I bought a relay mini USB for music. It still sticks out a bit but is OK. I put in 03 expedition Eddie Bauer with factory subwoofer. I did get the steering wheel controls to work with out an external swc but it was intermittent so I got an external swc and it works flawless now. I put a pyle camera with it and it works nice. It took me about an hour to put it in(but I have done it before.) I have considered replacing my Kenwood with one of these just because it is so much faster. Nav unit works nice. Pulls in way more fm stations than the factory radio did. For the money I would definitely buy again. I received the wrong harness with my order initially - apparently Ford used 2 different plugs for my year. Sonicelectonix immediately sent out the correct one.

Fanastic head unit for the price

I bought this unit along with the AWSC-1 SWC to install in my GF's 2010 SX4. The price was right for this head unit and was a reputable brand name and overall I am very happy with how the install went (did it myself) and how the unit functions.

Shipping was very quick to Canada and I sat on it examining all the items to make sure it was all good and it was. The internet was useful for me to find the wiring diagram so I could wire it into the car properly (also showed me how to remove the OE unit also).

I took my time and did the install over 2 months. I was re & re'ing her OE head unit tons of times and installing the Jensen to check and double check the fit and how it would fit inside the dash. I had to take the stock radio brkt. and modify it so it would work with the Scosche radio bezel and also to properly support the back of the radio in the car.

As for the wiring plug I read and reread the instructions tons of times before making my harness up to fit perfectly from the stock radio plug in the car to the Jensen. I did move 2 wires from the Scosche radio plug as it was not needed to a different position on the plug so I could wire in the AWSC-1 interface.

The final install was to be done in the spring (warmer) but I did do a test run of the unit in the car once the wiring harness was all done. I powered up the Jensen, did the head unit update and also the Nav update and made sure all the general stuff was working right (it was) and put the unit away.

This past weekend we had a warm day so I went out and properly installed it.....................fits like a glove in her dash and all functions working as it should.

No real negatives for me other than the free nav update was only for the USA. Since I live in Canada I paid the extra cost to get the Canada map and updated both maps to 3D content and everything. Personally I feel the updates should include US and Canada (we are neighbours after all LOL).

Just getting used to the Nav functions but everything works as it should......................very happy with how this project turned out for me and would definitely purchase another one to install in a future car down the road. Recommended buy for sure.

Overall good, but there is a bug.

Works great except while using bluetooth, navigation is totally shut down.

VX7020 is Awesome!!!

This unit is friggin awesome! I bought a Pyle backup camera and tied it in to my reverse lights, then ran a wire from my reverse lights to the VX7020 reverse wire on the back of the Jensen. It worked great! The screen resolution is beautiful and the operator interface is very intuitive and easy to use. The hands free sounds amazing. I can't even tell when my wife is in the car using the hands free while we are talking. The DVD player clarity is perfect. I couldn't be happier with the purchase and would def purchase again. I'm probably going to get another one for my other vehicle!

Awesome product!

Really had a great experience with this company. Customer service was very helpful. Stereo came exactly on time and is better than what I imagined. Price was way cheaper than Best Buy. It even came with a free install kit and a free wiring harness! Definitely a repeat customer!

Stereo is easy to install myself. Took about an hour for a 2005 Expetion. Works perfect. GPS is spot on. DVD is crystal and sound is awesome!

I have not installed this unit yet. But I will say that it is well built and really nice features. I don't believe you can purchase a head unit with these features for less anywhere. I will give an update in the near future.

Excellent Value

Hands down you can't beat the price for a head unit with GPS. The features are very nice, but could use some refinements.

Pros:
- The Price
- Rich in Features
- Ease of Use

Cons:
- Mounting Hardware is NOT Included (instructions indicate to use the ones that come with the mounting kit or on the old head unit.)
- The interface could use some refinement
- The harness adapter Sonic Electronix included for the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer lacked connections for the factory sub.
- The built in steering wheel interface does not work with fords or is just too complicated for me to get working.

Given all that I now know about the unit I would recommend the unit for lower budgets.

Good for the price

Better priced than similar products and has great sound and the Bluetooth works well
