Installation was easy when you purchase vehicle specific wiring adapters. The head unit has easy menus to manuever and they are logically placed and designed. The navigation software is easy to use. There are only 2 problems that I have fond thus far. If you have a amp that needs a power signal to turn on, the wire labled P.cont is for that purpose, but it is not clearly documented. The other problem is one of ease of use. The navigation POI feature does not have a readily available search for POIs in the imediate vacinity of the current position. You need to search a bit to find that info.
Other than those 2 issues, I am completely pleased with the head unit.
Great Price and the navi works great easy to use and input info. also gps grabs a signal within 1 minute. i like the unit alot.
i purchased this unit within two days the screen gets blurry,i was sent a replacment unit and the screen did not light up at all.i believe there is an issue with this jensen product.they do not factory test these units poor,poor quality controll
Installing this was the easiest that I've ever done. I really like all of the functions and accessories are easy to find at great prices if you look online. It didn't cost very much to order the steering wheel control, bluetooth, and Sat radio modules. I find the built in navigation to be much better than my TomTom was. I wish that I hadn't waited so long to purchase this and the quality of Jensen is equal to other systems but much better value. I've owned Kenwood, Pioneer and various other brands before but now I'm a big fan of Jensen!
Plesantly suprised by the quality and quantity of features available and the ease of installation and expansion. Highly recommended best bang for the buck for built in navigation.
