Jensen J1CA7 7" Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Double DIN Car Stereo

Great set up, easy install, easy to use. With that said it's a really big screen, wouldn't look right in every vehicle. For the RVer's out there this way a great upgrade on the factory radio for the older rigs. I struggled to find an upgrade that didn't break the bank for my 04 Newmar and this fit perfectly. Takes a bit tracking wires, I just spliced into the old pioneer harness, works with stock camera and still has the triptek feature working.

Easy to install and good quality

I purchased this to install in my son's Ford Ranger. It needed an install kit and plug. The radio works very well. I think it is the cheapest one that has wireless android auto. It sounds pretty good, and is easy to set up. I purchased a pioneer, but it failed after couple days (it was manufactured during covid). I didn't want one of those cheap android radios. The wireless android pairing is great, because most newer phones need better chargers. So you can be quick charging your phone on a separate charger and use the android auto. The map does not work without the use of android. I would have liked a volume knob, but for the price I cannot complain. I had two previous Jenson stereos in different cars and they worked well. But in the Ford there was alternator noise. I check all of the grounds but no luck. So I installed those noise filters in the two power supply wires and there aren't any noise issues. It has lasted two months without any issues. I will leave additional feed back in a couple months.

Installed in a 2002 VW Jetta... installation was relatively easy. Love the adjustability of the screen, allows for such a large screen to work in a older small car. Sound quality is pretty decent. Android Auto works great. I read complaints about the screen being too bright, but all I had to do was update the firmware and a it added brightness controls.

The touch screen is great and the interface is very natural feeling and easy to navigate, for a low budget brand name its a very acceptable head unit with pre outs for front, rear and sub, BUT there is no way to adjust the High Pass, this is a big deal if you just want to use the head units power for the speakers but want to protect the speakers from excessive low end which can damage the speakers and use up valuable wattage, and often you need to set the High Pass higher like 120hz to protect the main speakers and have the sub set to 80hz or 100hz for best sound quality. The Good: Great touch screen and very intuitive to navigate the interface, Bluetooth sound quality is very good considering its inherent loses due to data compression. Also has a nice EQ built in and does have sub volume control. There is a SWC control option and unit is very responsive to the touch and seems to have a CPU that is not being overworked. Looks great in the dash. The Bad: While the head unit does have Sub volume adjustments the unit is lacking High Pass adjustments for proper Sub setup and protection of the main speakers... this is a BIG deal IMHO. Also Apple Car Play and Android Car Play must use the wired connection which is only available on the back of the unit.
