High quality product with first class support!

I bought one of those head units with weird names that make everything cheap. After a few weeks of use, it got stuck in CarPlay with two different phones. I sent it back and bought a Jensen. I like having an actual volume control instead of looking for little knobs. Jensen is much better in many ways. Firstly, this is a real manual in a plastic bag, not a website link to download. All cables are clearly marked. Support is the best in the business! I've called a few times and always made an appointment and they know their stuff, very helpful and nice. The 10 inch screen is great. Button placement is ok. There aren't as many options here, like changing the color of the LEDs or the background as on many other devices, but the layout and functionality are well thought out. Best of all: it just works! And it works great. I used a micro USB with 64 gigabytes of music, CarPlay is fine, I use my phone's mirroring adapter for YouTube stories, the rear camera is great with a screen the size of google maps. The output power is too high for standard Bose speakers. I'm afraid one of them crackles, but it's an awkward volume. Overall, this is a quality device with quality support. I have a Pioneer 2 din in my truck and this unit is much prettier. It gives the interior of my Corvette a whole new modern look.
