Jensen VM9224BT

Not Bad!!!

I would recommend this unit to anyone NOT looking for their head unit to be able to multitask. This unit is simple and basically does one function at a time. I have a DNX9140 in my other vehicle and I'm able to play movies to my headrests while listening to music in the car and I can half split the car to have the movie audio playing in the back and the radio playing upfront. THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE THAT CAPABILITY. But, it does stream bluetooth music, navigation directions extremely well from my iphone with no hiccups (better than my DNX 9140). The unit is slow to execute some commands.

WOW great head unit everything works great Bluetooth sounds great I would recommend this to anyone great deal

Works Great for the value

It was easy to install and set up in my 2008 Tacoma. Sometimes the ipod disconnects but other than that I haven't had any problems with it working. There are a few things that would be nice to have like a built in mic, detachable faceplate, anti-glare screen but I still am pleased with it. The suggested Metra dash kit that was sold with it didn't fit and I would recommend getting a Scoshe kit.

Nice features for the price

Installation into my 2007 Tacoma was easy with the Scosche dash and wiring kits. I use all 3 preouts. Front and rear into a 4 channel amp and subwoofer out into a separate sub amp.

I did test out the DVD player and the radio and they worked fine. I was also able to watch video from SD and USB (once I found the correct video format to use).

I mostly listen to MP3's so I load about 600 of them up onto a SD card at a time. One thing I do notice is that this unit skips the first 1/2 second or so of MP3's, so you miss the first note of songs with a big opening.

One feature I do like is when I turn the unit on the volume is set to 10 (out of 40) so the music doesn't start out blasting.

Hooking up a rear view camera was as simple as running the wires and plugging it in.

At this price level I would recommend this product.

great value

i t is a great product at a great price. read direction dont assume! if you use a sd card for music make sure it is in mp3 format not mp4 which itunes will send the music in. tell itune to translate to mp3 from mp4 ifyou use a sd card.

Great Value

I imported this product to Australia and found that although this is a double din unit it did not fit properly. The height was not correct. The radio although it picks up well enough does not give good sound compared to playing through the USB. This may be just a country thing.

Pros
Easy to fit
Easy enough to use
Bluetooth phone works well

Cons
Slow when changing to bluetooth phone from USB and visa versa
Difficult to adjust fade and balance although I was only testing and usually do not adjust.

I have yet to install the reversing camera so cannot comment on that. Also yet to play DVD's. Overall a solid unit for the price and features.

Good Headunit, great price

I bought this radio for my 98 Ford Ranger and was so happy with it that when I got rid of the Ranger it was brought over to the F150. It gets plenty loud, while remaining crisp and clear. Works great with the bluetooth, and comes through very well on the other end as well. The SD card feature is slow to load up, but once it does it works as it should. Overall this is an excellent headunit for someone who wants new features without breaking the bank.

Nice product

I bought this deck to replace my single din, it worked good but for me it didn't change songs fast enough! Produces 40rms each channel which was really nice but I was disappointed that u had to buy a different cord to play videos off your iPod. So after about 4months of owning this deck I went with a new pioneer.

Indash

I would definitely buy this product again. All the touch functions work great and the resolution was amazing. Works great with the iPod controller system.

Good Value

Good value, I would not say Awesome. First the good, has good sound quality, lots of adjustments and features for the money. Bluetooth works well. 2 usb ports (front and Back) and sd reader.
Cons. The aspect ratio doesn't display movies properly, I called jensen and was told "it is what it is, you should buy a name brand for correct playback" (unbelievable right). So images are stretched and there's no way to change this. Last the unit will only recoginize 1500 songs on any thumb drive or hard drive, after that it ignores them so 8 gigs is about the max.
