Old school style and good quality

I have never used Jensen radios. I was looking for a car stereo/CD player that avoided all of the flashy backlighting/color brightness that EVERY radio seems to have. I drive an old Wrangler and love the look of the factory radio, but mine failed in so many ways. I didn't want anything in the dashboard to look like it was ripped out of the Star Trek Bridge console. This radio looks dated; The lighting is simple, subdued and a soft orange colour. It's easy to use and the specs show it outputs 40W x 4 channels. Perfect fit for my application. I now have a working radio, working volume control, working CD player (yes I still use those things), front and rear aux inputs. The radio does not have Bluetooth connectivity or a USB port. No problem for me. I know you can find cheaper radios with all the bells and whistles and I'm sure they will work just fine for most people. I just wanted solid and simple. This is perfect FOR ME.
