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

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.

Had to repurchase this radio, because last one list sound after 2 months. Never had problem with jensen media's. So far so good. Easy to instal

Stopped Powering On at 6 months A good Budget Unit,

Installed 2 of these. One on my boat and one in my 2010 Colorado. Get the mounting brackets that you can order when you order the radio. The boat took a double din ceiling mounting box. The sound from this radio is very good

This head unit meets my bare minimum needs. It supports wired Carplay/Android Auto and mirror's your phone's nav; it has video input for a backup camera; supports BT audio; and has a built in amp. The UI is intuitive, and I haven't had any glitches. What this unit is missing is: wireless Carplay/Android Auto; HD radio subchannels; RDBS to see song titles and station info OTA; some sort of quick programming for radio presets; clock setting via BT paired device; sturdier buttons.

Just replaced Atoto unit. 2000 Toyota Tundra. Fits perfect in the dash. Don't buy Atoto. This stereo Zensen is so easy to install and flawless interface to Android auto. Got it and installed within a hour. It's very simple and user friendly. Don't let the brand scare you. Jensen has been in business making electronic forever. If you are just looking for simple android auto that works and sounds good get this. I hated the Atoto unit that was constantly dropping android auto signal. Tried everything but couldn't get it working. Atoto does have more features but they are just useless apps and functions that I don't need or want. Their software is very glitchy do to that fact of having so many options. I just returned the Atoto back to Amazon. I will never buy another NO named Chinese brand.

This is the day 3 review, I’ll come back in a month or so to do an update. This was a super easy install. This unit worked with my existing brackets in my 07 Xterra. All I needed to do was shave off the top part of the extra faceplate. And it covered up the hole on the bottom nicely. Unit functions just fine, everything is snappy, especially in CarPlay mode. Idk about other systems, but when you first set it up, don’t be alarmed if the Bluetooth disconnects when you plug in CarPlay, that’s on purpose. But when I disconnect the wire, it switches to Bluetooth quickly. This is NOT* the wireless unit. I’m ok with that because I’d rather my phone be charging too. Don’t forget to plug in the antenna. I think the unit uses it as part of the grounding, because the unit would shut off if I unplugged it. (I didn’t care about radio, but I guess I do now). The CarPlay/Aauto plug is a simple USB A female, so bring your own cord and find a spot to plug it in. I knocked out one of my empty slots, not pretty but functional. The only time I’ve seen the device slow down is when you scroll left to get to settings. But no other issues. Only other issue I had was that it arrived in original packaging, making it an easy target, glad I was home.

This is the worst radio that I've ever bought and one of the worst Electronics if not the worst that I've ever bought. It's so bad and so defective and I regret buying it so much that I will never buy a Jensen product ever again. I hate that it took me too long to get it installed to figure this out and now I can't return it.

Easy to install and good quality

Es un autoestero bonito y funcional, aunque su calidad de sonido es muy pobre, yo tenía a Jensen en mejor concepto, pero me dijo el tecnico que no es de la calidad de las otras marcas lideres, que está un poquito abajo. De hecho lo voy a regresar.
