RE: New much better speakers not much better, help

There is a lot involved with speakers. The speakers need to be matched to the amplifier, Using 100 watt speakers on a 20 watt amp is not going to work well, neither is the other way around, Also the "Compartment" (What you call cut out) needs to be matched to the speakers.
Interesting fact: Back in the 70's one of the "Hot" guitar amps was the Vox Super Beetle.. but the ones sold in the USA did not work all that well because this amp was designed to work with a SPECIFIC set of speakers, which were not allowed in the US for some reasonk so they used, as I recall Jensens, good speakers but not a perfet match.
HEATHKIT sold a Gutair amp which was nearly identical to the Super Beetle, in fact the only difference (it was licensed by the way) Was that the HEATH amp was matched to the Jensen speakers, worked much better.
This baby coudl be used by a demolition crew.. Strike a courd on full gain and the house crumbles.

Handfree Bluetooth Double DIN rceivers

Wanting to switch out my factory 2012 Jensen Receiver with an Apple Carplay receiver. I currently use a headset when talking on the phone and want to go with a unit that has a built in mic. My concern is that there will be too much noise coming from inside the coach "all the rattling and clanging" that the remote mic set up will make phone conversations difficult. The mics are normally placed somewhere on the dash near the steering wheel. Anyone tried this set up?

RE: Where can I find a 12 VDC 32 inch or larger TV

yes, Jensen makes 12V TV's.
many of the others even though they plug into the wall, run off 18ish volts, likely the same brick used for the majority of laptop PC's which often use 18ishV chargers.
so one could likely use a laptop charger with 12VDC in and the correct mating plug for the TV. I looked at that and decided to just keep using the inverter I installed in the trailer.

Start here:
Jensen
The inverter will probably cheaper in the long run and offer you more choices in tv's.

RE: in dash weather radio

Jensen no longer carries this model, and has no replacement which has weather band. Does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a system with all of the same features?
Jensen still makes an AM/FM/WB radio but alas no rear view and on that model no CD (it is very small. in fact it's a stick on if I viewed the photo properly)
I would go with a good AM/FM/CD/Camera (no weather band)
And get a good CB/WB (Like the Cobra someone else suggested)
OR: Better yet. A stand alone weather band.. I would look for a DESK TOP model not a pocket (Better antenna) and either power with Inverter or look for a model with a 12 volt wall wart and feed it direct.

in dash weather radio

My RV came with a Jensen VR187 AM/FM/CD/WX radio installed, with flip out screen for rear view camera. With only 20K miles on the road the radio now only works sporadically, and often has no volume control and the backlight no longer functions. Jensen no longer carries this model, and has no replacement which has weather band. Does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a system with all of the same features?

RE: If You Have a Mobley

I just went onto my account and it would not let me turn it off. I'm guessing they got smart and disabled the disable. I am not as concerned with getting stellar streaming of video as much as still being able to stream video when I want. The old Jensen TV we have isn't that good anyway. Will check back to see if others resolve with a quick question to support or if it's a pita.
EDIT: Interestingly I tried editing my cellular plan with them and received the same message.
I initiated a Chat session with them from the Manage Data page and they turned it off manually.

RE: Bluetooth adaptor

if you mean for input to the Jensen ? YES
if you mean for output from the jensen to something else, ? maybe not
the USB port on almost all vehicle audio is configure for input only
it reads files or reads the signal coming in from adapter. usb stick, etc..
it may not, send audio out on the usb for blue tooth head phones or speakers

RE: Bluetooth adaptor

a adapter like this plugged into the auxiliary in jack on the front of your jensen would work. Bluetooth Car Aux Adapter

RE: Bluetooth adaptor

I got this for my dad to use in his 2010 Vette. He's a smart guy, but not totally literate with the Bluetooth-type things. He loves it. And I didn't have to help install it. Totally plug and play. Goes in the Aux port on your Jensen.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a Bluetooth adaptor or device to make our Jensen AWM970 Bluetooth capable?

RE: mp3's on usb drive

i think.. you will find that you can 'backup store them' anywhere
including the PC
but need to be on the smaller 'USB DRIVE' for the jensen to play them

RE: mp3's on usb drive

I have a usb drive that I recorded 400 mp3 songs on using Windows 7. It works fine in my Jensen Radio/dvd/cd/player in the trailer using the usb port. I wanted to make a back-up copy and copied the entire drive to a new Fat32 usb drive on my new Windows 10 computer. All the files are there and will play on my computer but NOT in the Jensen player in the trailer. Any ideas on what I need to do to make the files recognizable in the trailer?
Well I assume the Jensen simply can not read FAT32.. I'd get a new drive and format NTFS see if that works
Or burn 'em to CD's the jensen may be able to do that.

RE: mp3's on usb drive

The sector size on the new FAT32 drive could be too large for the Jensen. FAT32 standard allows a wide range of sector sizes (512 bytes to at least 4 KB) and clustering arrangements to support devices ranging from 2MB to 16TB. The computer writing to the larger storage device could very well format the device to use blocks and clusters not in the range of what an older client can handle.
I've run into this often on solid state storage devices for cameras, as capacity has progressed. Sometimes I've been able to make the camera reformat the storage media, in which case it might use half, or a quarter of the nominal capacity, but I doubt that your player has even that much smarts.

RE: mp3's on usb drive

Looked up Jensen RV Stereo but since I don't know your model # this may not apply but my gut is that it's all the same...
USB function does not work
-Make sure USB device is fully inserted.
-Verify USB device contains MP3 or WMA files.
-Supports USB drives up to 4GB.
-Does not support portable hard drives or some USB music devices.
