About the Jensen VX3014
Bluetooth® is just the beginning
Bluetooth® is just the beginning
Jensen's VX3014 DVD receiver ups the cool factor in your dash with its motorized 7" touchscreen display. Its slim design fits in many cars that won't accommodate a double-DIN multimedia receiver, while the big display motors out to serve as a control center for all your entertainment. And it enhances your car's entertainment system with built-in Bluetooth®, so you can stream your music library or favorite apps from your smartphone. Plus, you can take and make calls while keeping your hands on the wheel. An outboard microphone ensures excellent call quality, even in noisy vehicles.
The motorized screen folds away when not in use.
Plug in for Pandora®control
If you're into your carefully curated Pandora stations, take them on the road. The VX3014 controls your content from the touchscreen when your iPhone® is connected. And it'll play nearly any kind of disc, while the front USB input lets you pull songs from your thumb drive, Android phone, iPod®, or iPhone. You'll set the sound the way you want it with Jensen's 3-band parametric equalizer.
The VX3014 includes front and rear audio/video inputs so you can add on a portable audio player, camcorder, or other video sources too. For the safety-minded, a dedicated input on the rear panel accepts an optional rear-view camera.
Want to keep your steering wheel audio controls?
In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with this car stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and radio, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. You'll see the adapters that work with your vehicle when you add this receiver to your cart.
