Jensen CAR1013

This is for a 2006 Toyota Tundra. I upgraded from a JVC KW-M855BW that I originally bought so I could have Wireless Android Auto and backup camera in my older truck. The JVC was really the only cost effective option in 2020, and actually worked well for everything I needed, except it was really hard to see during the day, since I have a lighter colored tan interior. So I wanted a floating screen that I could angle toward my driving position to eliminate glare. This Jensen ticks most of the boxes that I wanted. The screen can be angled almost directly toward me, and it also adjusts up and down vertically. It has wireless AA and Car Play. And it has 2 camera inputs which is great when parallel parking. So far the sound has been better than my JVC, but this time I used a bypass harness to eliminate the factory amp, rather than the Axxess TYTO-01 Wiring Interface I used before. That, and bass blockers make the factory JBL speakers sound really good. Installation was easy because of the Crutchfield instructions. But since I had done this before, I labeled all the wires when I removed the JVC and it was just a matter of matching wires. The Metra dash kit worked ok, but because this receiver has 15 degrees of horizontal tilt, I had to space the receiver out from the dash approximately 1/2" so that the screen cleared the dash. I was able to modify it so it still looks good, but something to be aware of, since there is no built in adjustment for this as far as I know.

For the price, you're really getting a lot of functionality, even with the couple of little quirks. If you have AA hooked up and navigate to the home page to tweak settings, it times out pretty quickly and goes back to AA without prompting. Its pretty responsive and doesn't have much lag at all, which was my main concern from the previous generation's reviews. The screen quality is OK, but I expected the colors to be a little more true and the blacks to be less grey (I may be biased here since I'm comparing it to my Audi's screen). I'd also expect a little less blockiness to images for the supposed resolution. It's far from unusable, but some more refinement could have gone into the screen itself. Audio quality is pretty good straight out of the HU, but I haven't tried it out with an amp yet to check the low level outputs yet. I do really like that the screen height/tilt is adjustable on the fly, but time will tell if the screen gets wobbly going down the road. Right now its a pretty deliberate action to adjust it, and it doesn't seem to have wobble any more than one would expect. Oh and the screen is massive so it makes looking at maps a breeze

I was replacing a Boss Audio double din system I put in my truck about 4 years ago. I wanted something affordable because my kids primarily drive the truck. I also wanted wireless car play and android auto and compatibility with the back-up camera I installed previously, features I knew would add cost. I initially looked at low-end Kenwood and JVC units, but the surprisingly good ratings on this unit caught my eye.I installed the unit 3 days ago and so far I am pleased with my choice. Installation was under 2 hours start to finish, and that includes the time wiring the harness to the factory stereo connection. Everything worked as it should the very first time. Even the steering wheel controls module, microphone, and back-up camera I installed previously work perfectly.

This is a great tuner at a low price. It was pretty easy to install with the provided instructions. It might be a good idea for the less experienced installer to look up some YouTube videos on the subject. It helped me immensely. I did have one issue with the operation since I have a standard transmission, but with a call to the support line it was quickly resolved.

Huge upgrade to a 2008 Tacoma. Easy self installation once I stripped out the previous aftermarket mess. In addition to great sound and video, improves safety with backup camera, wireless apple car play, GPS antenna for Navigation, hands free calling. Essentially brought my 2008 up to features of a 2023.

Incredible value! I was very impressed with the quality and design of this radio. This was replacement for my Motorhome radio. The larger screen and Apple Car play integration is just what it needed.

Slight issue installing but it was on me for not reading the instructions properly. Display is crisp, bright, and big. Only issue I have so far is wireless android auto periodically disconnects. Not too big of a nuisance since it reconnects seconds later but it may be annoying to some. I did the Crutchfield harness pre-connection. I believe the issue is the radio software and phone wifi/Bluetooth connection

Installation is straightforward. I'll be using this almost exclusively for Android Auto, so the antiquated feel of the interface doesn't matter too much to me. The DIN bracket was slightly difficult to get to fit snugly by bending the tabs. Screen is huge and looks great from all angles. I like being able to swivel the screen. The physical buttons appear to be quality and the physical volume button is awesome.

I have bought Jensen products for a few decades now as I know you get some of the latest features and good sound from their products. The CAR1013 gives you a huge touchscreen, various inputs, audio adjustments, android auto and carplay, front and camera inputs. Everything works well with the exception of wireless android auto/carplay, at times I'll get in my car and everything connects perfectly and android auto works flawlessly but then other times while phone will connect, as unit shows Bluetooth connected, android auto won't work unless connected via wire. I bought this specifically because it was wireless and of course it's past the return window so I'm stuck with it, well not really stuck but not 100% satisfied with it which is why I knocked off 2 stars.

The radio is not as fancy as most but it does look nice but it has features that it makes up for. The radio has a phone charger built in, so just plug you phone in on the go and never worry about haveing a seprate charger. YOu can plug in your Mp3 player. This set comes with 2 speakers so if need be you have extra for your car if one goes out. It also comes with hands free device for you cell phone. For the price you can't beat it! Just order it to be sent to the store cause the website with say its available in store and its not. They still have to end up shipping it.

We gave this car stereo system to my daughter for Christmas, and it exceeded all our expectations! Love having the ability to play music from iPhone or iPod, and having the USB port available to charge the devices is even better. CD and radio sound great, too. Speakers did not fit in her 1991 Honda Accord, but since the old ones still work, no problem for us. Love it!
