JENSEN J1CA7 7-inch Certified Apple CarPlay Android Auto | Double DIN Touchscreen Car Stereo Radio | Bluetooth Hands Free Calling & Music Streaming | Backup Camera Input | USB Playback & Charging

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.

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.

I absolutely love this car stereo! It has been working perfectly since I installed it, with no issues at all. The installation was relatively simple if you know what you’re doing. I use it constantly, and the Apple CarPlay feature is by far my favorite, it makes navigation, music, and hands-free calls so easy & convenient . The touchscreen is responsive, and the overall functionality is on point. It also came with a backup camera, which is a great bonus, but I haven’t gotten around to installing it yet. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade to their car!

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.Pic is from a DIY installation in a 2008 Toyota Highlander Base using a metra aftermarket adapter

The radio worked fine for about 2 months but then i started have a problem with it. Now, when the radio is playing at any normal volume level it will noticeably decrease in volume and frequency range without being touched. For example, the high frequency sounds will not be as high and the lows not as low. After a little while it will return to the correct sound. I followed Amazon customer service to contact seller but the seller did not respond to my warranty request. I would not purchase from this seller again.

For the price you can't go wrong it does everything my wife's $800 setup does I just couldn't see spending the money on my work vehicle.

Installed just like the radios if 20 years ago when we did it to make our beater first car sound cooler. Wives can radio broke and this fit the need perfect and gives extra features. Android audio works as expected. I don't have an iPhone to test their version but would expect no issues. It does not do wireless Android Auto but the USB cable worked just fine. Audio sounds great. Screen sits in our 2016 dodge grand caravan just like it was made for it. I tested the backup camera but have not installed it because I need an extension cable. I will update the review after all is installed.

Very good product. The display is really good but sound quality isn’t the greatest if your not right next to a signal.
