Jensen VM9214
$350.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Motorized screen can save tilt adjustment settings to account for user's viewing angle. System can work as a standard head unit with screen retracted. Well designed user interface when working with an iPod, full song catalog access, easy to browse.
The Cons:An amplifier is necessary for audiophile HD quality output. Shipped without a DVD lens screw, suffers wear and tear during shipping before it is even installed.
The Jensen VM9214 is Jensen's entry-level multimedia receiver for automobiles, and fits one-DIN dashboard mounts. Despite this, it still has a 7" flip-up touchscreen and can control iPods and iPhones, as well as playback MP3/WMA files stored on CD/DVD.
