Ahh, true. Look in to the Pioneer D3. Its priced pretty well. And its 799 this week @ CCity. Bluetooth is about 75-100$ more.

Not to mention you get a well-known, reputable brand, which equals quality.

Jensen, was a great brand of the past, but couldnt keep it together. Its definately not what it once was.

I have this HU and let me first off say I absolutely love it! It does everything and more then any other brand out there for half the cost, and YES I have owned all the other multimedia HU's....eclipse, pioneer, jvc, sony, kenwood...those were good HU's but for the money my Jensen can't be beat, and Jensen is part of the Audiovox corporation, one of the oldest names in the business.
Believe me guys, I'm the first to trash the bargain bin brands and have always went with quality name brand equipment but I took a chance cause I wanted to direct my $$$ elsewhere for once, and I'm starting to realize you don't always have to spend a fortune for quality products. If there is one thing I could ever recommend to someone who wants a nice in-dash DVD multimedia HU yet does not want to spend an arm and leg for one, its to go with the Jensen VM9022, you won't be disappointed. I will say one thing though, the downside to most Jensen units is the power output or rms watts to your speakers is WEAK, but if you plan on adding an amp to your system like I am, then it shouldn't be a problem. It still sounds good, probably around same as stock, but thats the one drawback I can live with because everything else the unit does makes up for that. Hope this helps.

I have to agree that the Jensen units are excellent. Audiovox bought the Jensen brand back in 2003. Since then they have been brought some very good products to the Jensen brand name. I also have owned all the other brands and none of them matched the features of the Jensen and all of them were at least twice the cost. I did a comparison post about them here.
