Jensen VM9126

The VM9126's 6.2" touchscreen makes a bold statement.

Style isn't the only upgrade

You can use the VM9126's video screen to enjoy DVDs when you're parked, and the front-panel audio/video input provides a convenient connection for a camcorder, game console, or other sources. When you're ready for some music, you'll find the front USB input handy for plugging in your iPod® or iPhone®, or for thumb drives loaded with MP3 and WMA files. Fill an SD card with your top tunes, then store it in the front-panel slot — it's almost like having a CD changer in your dash. And of course you can play your favorite store-bought or recordable CDs, including discs you've loaded with MP3 and WMA files.

Get the sound you want

Adjust the audio output of the VM9126 with the 3-band equalizer, or keep it simple by selecting one of the eight preset EQ curves. You can add more kick to your system by connecting an amp or powered subwoofer to the preamp outputs.

  • CEA2006 Specs: 13 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
  • Maximum Power Output: 40 watts x 4 channels (160 watts total)
Note: The unit has a heat management system which incorporates forced-air cooling to keep the chip-sets operating at nominal temperatures for reliable operation and sound quality.

I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: The 110VM9126 certainly is Rear View Camera compatible, also any of these will work since they use a universal composite video RCA plug. http://www.crutchfield.com/g_277650/Rear-view-and-Auxiliary-Cameras.html?tp=83 If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
