JENSEN VM9424 6.2-Inch Double-DIN Multimedia Navigation Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since theres not a lot of people that wrote reviews, I thought I'd write a more detailed review.
Shipping is very fast, packaged very well.
Unit comes fully loaded with almost everything! GPS, IPOD capable, Rearview camera capable.
I installed this into my 2003 Honda Element. I used the 70-1721 wiring harness from this site. All the wires are pre-cut so wiring was easy.
The unit itself is fairly easy to navigate around, any dumbass can do it. The sound is incredible, the one thing I like is you can preset the sound to any level when it starts-I sometimes forget I blast it!
Navigation is quick, it boots up and finds me from 10-15 seconds. The user interface for this is also very easy, again any dumbass can use it. I posted complete specs of the unit below. Happy buying guys!

You can enjoy DVD movies on the 6.2" video screen when you're parked, or share the fun with backseat passengers by adding video screens to the two video outputs. For iPod video content, add Jensen's optional J-Link cable. Jensen includes a full-featured remote so your passengers can control the entertainment.
Navigation built in
You'll find your way with ease with the VM9424's navigation system, developed hand-in-hand with industry leaders like Horizon Navigation, NavMate, and Tele Atlas. The receiver boasts 11 million points of interest throughout the United States and Canada, with accurate routes, reliable guidance and time estimates. Maps and information are preloaded on an easy-to-access 2 GB SD(tm) card, so updating down the road is a quick and easy operation.
Convenient system building
If you're building a high-powered system, you'll enjoy the utility of front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs, with a sub level control to boot. Large vehicle owners, you'll appreciate the ability to add a rear-view camera to this receiver -- put your vehicle in reverse and the view behind you pops up on the screen.
