Big-screen guidance that fits your car's smaller dash opening

Got a single-DIN (2" tall) dash opening, but still want reliable navigation and major-league entertainment from a new car stereo? Jensen's VX7010 DVD navigation receiver uses its fold-out 7" display to turn your car's audio system into a multi-media powerhouse. You can take advantage of accurate guidance, CD and DVD playback, iPod® control, plus a well-rounded variety of audio and video capabilities.

iGO Primo leads the way

You can take to the road with confidence as the VX7010 keeps you on track. It features iGO Primo navigation software, a platform you'll find standard in many high-end factory navigation systems. You get detailed maps of the United States and Puerto Rico, along with access to 11 million points of interest.

The VX7010's powered by iGO primo navigation software, which has become an industry standard over the past few years because it's fast, accurate, and easy to use. This stereo's compatible with Naviextras, which allows you to download maps for other countries, including points of interest, through their website.

Bluetooth® calling and music streaming

This Jensen offers Bluetooth connectivity, so you'll be able to make and take calls using your compatible phone through the stereo. Built-in A2DP technology allows you to stream music from your smartphone through this receiver, and gives you control over the music on your Android™ phone or iPhone®.

If you've got Pandora Internet radio on your iPhone®, you can control it through the VX7010's interface when connected.

Master your media

This receiver will play all your CDs and DVDs, including discs loaded with music files, while front and rear A/V inputs offer connections for more audio/video sources. Go ahead and load up your iPod® or thumb drive with highway songs — you'll have easy access through the receiver's front USB port.

When you're parked, you can enjoy movies from DVDs or other video sources on the receiver's display, and you can add Jensen's optional jLinkUSB cable to view iPod video content. Jensen includes a wireless remote control so your passengers can get in on the fun.

Expand your system

Why struggle with stations fading away as you travel? You can hook up a satellite radio tuner (not included) to this receiver and access the wide variety of entertainment, sports, news, and commercial-free music satellite radio provides — your favorite stations are always there and you can view the channel art on the big screen. You can also connect a rear-view camera, so you can see more of what's behind your vehicle when getting in and out of tight spots. If you're looking to add subs and amps, you can take advantage of front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?

In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with a new car stereo. Check “Details” for more information, and the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. If you're not sure if you need an adapter, call, chat, or email an Advisor for help determining what you'll need for your vehicle.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

iPod/smartphone note: If you're going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.

    Touchscreen Display

    7" Motorized Touchscreen: The Jensen VX7010 features a motorized-retractable 7" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 touchscreen LCD display with an adjustable viewing angle. The resolution of the display is 800 x RGB (3) x 480 with 1,152,000 pixels. This unit has touchscreen controls with interactive video graphics, making menu navigation easy. You can adjust the monitor's angle for better visibility.

    • UI Colors: You can adjust the colors of the on-screen menu's touchscreen buttons from Green, Red, Amber, Blue, or Purple.
    • Background Skins: You can choose from five different background skins - Engine Start, Blue Haze, Green Cubes, Red Swirl or Tribal.
    • Brightness: The unit's LCD backlight can be adjusted to Night, Dark, Normal, or Bright.
    • Picture Adjustment: When watching a video, you can adjust the touchscreen display's brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue (from 1-20).
    Note: You can select English, French, or Spanish for the unit's on-screen menu display.

    Start-Up Time: The Jensen VX7010 will turn on to the last source selected. The unit has start-up time of approximately 12.95 seconds from OFF to the last Source selected.

    Clock & Date Display: The navigation receiver offers a 12- or 24-hour clock display which is visible from any source or menu screen. The clock & date are both visible on the main menu screen only.

    Secondary LCD Display: In addition to the 7" motorized flip-out monitor, the Jensen VX7010 features a secondary 8-character/Segment type LCD display. This display can be used during music playback for track & song information. You will need to use the 7" LCD monitor display for menu functions and to view video.

    Hard-Key Controls: In addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons and a rotary-dial on the front-panel of the unit. You can adjust the head unit's button illumination from the following preset colors - Blue, Purple, Sky Blue, Aqua Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, White or Demo (scans through all preset colors). You can also select a custom "Custom" color that is adjusted between Red, Green, and Blue (values range: 0-255).

    Parking Brake Detection: For safety reasons, you cannot view a video source on the built-in monitor as long as the vehicle is in motion. In order to display video, the head unit's pink wire must be hardwired into the vehicle's parking brake light circuit, and the vehicle's parking brake must be engaged.

    Onboard Navigation

    iGO Primo & TomTom Navigation: The Jensen VX7010 contains map coverage of the United States (all 50 states) and Puerto Rico with over 11,000,000 points-of-interests from TomTom; all stored on a pre-installed 4GB SDHC memory card (the SDHC map card must remained installed in order for navigation system to function). The map database was created using high-resolution aerial and land based data collection. The VX7010 employs iGO primo navigation software for turn-by-turn visual and voice assistance to your selected destination. The software quickly calculates step-by-step directions to any destination available on the included on-screen navigation map.

    Note: Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While the database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may change over time.

    Map Updates: iGO offers periodic updates for data such as roads, new addresses, and other navigational information that will keep the Jensen navigation system up to date and provide the best possible experience. For updates and add-on options, please visit www.naviextras.com (requires Windows XP or newer) A free program called "Toolbox" can be downloaded from this website so you can create a copy of your map as a backup, as well as assist in easily checking for updates and optional features that are available.

    Note: You have 90 days from purchase to download the latest available map free of charge.

    GPS Receiver & Antenna: The Jensen VX7010 features a built-in SiRFprima GPS receiver and includes an external GPS antenna which determines vehicle speed and heading changes, along with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle heading and position on the system's digital map. The GPS antenna can be mounted inside or outside of the vehicle. The GPS antenna measures 1.5625" (w) x 0.625" (h) x 1.9375" (d); with a 10' cable.

    Note: The navigation receiver took approximately 12.07 seconds to calculate directions from Virginia to California. It only took 8.25 seconds to calculate directions from Virginia to Maryland. These tests were done inside the Crutchfield Lab of the Crutchfield Headquarters. Results will vary based on length of calculated route and your surrounding area.

    On-Screen Map: The unit's on-screen map shows your vehicle's current position (a blue arrow by default), the recommended route (an orange line), the surrounding map area, and your destination as a checkered flag. The on-screen map shows streets, roads, and highways in a way that is similar to how a paper road map show them. A road's width and colors corresponds to their importance, so you can easily tell a freeway from a small street. When navigating a route, the top section of the map screen shows information about your next route maneuver and the next street or the next city/town. When approaching a turn, the map screen will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you. The map also displays data; such as the posted speed limit, your current speed, current time, distance to your destination, time left before you reach your destination, and your arrival time.

    • 2D/3D Map Mode: The Jensen VX7010 allows you to view its on-screen map in a 2D (two-dimensional) or 3D (three-dimensional) view. Similar to paper road maps, the 2D mode, shows you streets, roads, and elevation by color. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude and elevations differences. You can distinguish between valleys, mountains, and elevated roads. I
    • Color Mode: The navigation map screen uses different color themes (Day/Night) during the day and during the night for both the map and the menu screen. Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright. The nigh color themes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low. You can also set the navigation unit to switch between daytime and night color modes automatically based on the current time and GPS position.
    Note: You can continue to listen to a selected source while viewing the on-screen navigation map.

    Lane Information & Signposts: The Jensen VX7010's navigation map offers helpful lane information and signpost guidance, along with junction view.

    • Lane Information: When navigation on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, the map screen will display the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. High lighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.
    • Signposts: Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above the road or by the roadside, They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.
    • Junction View: If you are approaching a freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The lanes you need to take are displayed with arrows. Signposts can also be present, if information is available.

    Audible Alerts: The Jensen VX7010 offers various audible alerts and functions to help you get to your destination safely.

    • Voice Guidance: In addition to graphic directions, the VX7010 provides voice guidance with turn-by-turn instructions (street names are not announced). You can select from English, French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese audible languages. The volume of the voice prompts can be increased with increases in speed to overcome road noise. Voice guidance can be turned off if you prefer.
    • Safety Alert: This function can warn you when you approach road safety cameras, school zones, or railroad crossings (if available). You can also add your own alert points. Beeps or the spoken type of alert will be heard when you are approaching of these points.
    • Speed Limit Warning: Some maps may contain information about the speed limits of certain road segments. The VX7010 provides an audible warning if you exceed the recommended speed limit.
    Note: While navigating, other sources may be selected and listened to; such as AM/FM Tuner, CD, USB, iPod, & Bluetooth. The unit will mute the audio of the other source during navigation voice-prompts.

    Where Am I?: This screen contains information about the current position (or approximately the last known position if GPS reception is not available) and a button to search for Car Repair, Health Agencies, Police, and Gas Stations around your area.

    Find Destination: From the "Find" menu, you can select your destination by entering an address or selecting a place of interest (11,000,000 POIs), a location on the map or one of your Favorite destinations. You can also look up your recent destinations from Smart History, enter a coordinate, or use the location saved in a photo. iGO primo offers you several ways of choosing your destination:

    Destination Search Description
    Browse Map Select a point on the map for your destination by touching the screen.
    Address Enter a full address or a part of an address; for example a street name without ahouse number or the names of two intersecting streets. Or enter ZIP code only; this way you do not need to select the name of the city and the search for street names might be faster as well.
    POIs Search over 11 million POIs (points-of interest) by name, near you current location, along route, near your destination, or around a city.
    Favorites You can save your favorite addresses (like home & work) and POIs for quicker access the next time you are traveling.
    History The places that you have set as destinations in the past are automatically stored for easier access. Smart History suggests these previously used locations as destinations based on your navigation habits, using parameters like the current time of day, the day of week, and the current location.
    Coordinates Allows you to search your destination by longitude and latitude values.

    Route Calculation: The Jensen VX7010 calculates your route based on your Vehicle Type, Route Method, and Avoidances.

    • Vehicle Type: You select what type of vehicle you are driving, so the navigation unit can determine the best route based on your vehicle type (Car, Emergency, Bus, or Taxi).
    • Route Method: You can choose which route method (Fastest, Shortest, Green, Economical, or Easy) the navigation unit should use when calculating your route.
      • Fastest: give a quick route, if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all roads. Usually the best section for fast and normal cars
      • Shortest: gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles
      • Green: gives a quick, but full efficient route based on the fuel consumption data you provide
      • Easy: results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult maneuvers
    • Avoidances: You can tell the navigation unit to avoid certain types of roads along your calculated route, such as - Highways, Tolls, Carpool/HOV, Unpaved Roads, and/or Ferries.

    Detours & Alternatives: You can select "Route Alternative" to see the turn-list and map screen of four routes (Fastest/Shortest/Economical/Easy) with the selected route planning parameters, giving you the option to select which route to take. You can also choose to Detour around the road ahead, avoid a specific road, or around a section of the route.

    Router Planner: The Route Planner feature lets you built your route using the list of destinations you have chosen. You can modify the list as you like (adding or removing a destination (waypoint), changing a final destination, or setting a new starting position.

    Itinerary w/ Route Simulation: The Itinerary page displays turn-by-turn instructions for your entire route and the distance between turns. You can preview all the route information and simulate travel along a projected route.

    Automatic Route Recalculation: The unit will automatically recalculate your route if you stray from the navigation unit's previously calculated route.

    Trip Logs: Trip logs contain useful information about your trip. Trip logs can be saved manually when you reach your destination or automatically along your route. Trip log data includes; Start/End Time, Avg./Max. Speed, Total/Driving/Stopped Time, Total Distance, and Min./Max. Altitude.

    Quick Menu: The Quick menu is a selection of controls and functions that are frequently needed during navigation; it can be opened directly from the Map screen. The content of the Quick Menu is fully customizable.

    Off-Road Navigation: The difference between the on-road and off-road modes is the navigation itself. When you are on the Map screen with an off-road route, your position and heading is not aligned with the nearest road and there is no turn by turn navigation; just a recommended direction. You see a straight line drawn between your current position and the next destination to reach. The Turn Preview field in the top left corner shows an arrow with your bearing and the distance of the next destination.

    Built-in Bluetooth

    Bluetooth Technology: The Jensen VX7010 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, allowing you to make and receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music wirelessly from your smartphone to the head unit.

    iPod/iPhone Integration

    iPod/iPhone Connectivity: The Jensen VX7010 navigation receiver supports connection to either Dock-connector or Lightning-connector Apple iPods and iPhones.

    • 30-Pin Dock Connector iPod/iPhone: The optional jLink-USB cable (110JLINUSB, sold separately) allows you to connect your iPod or Phone (w/ dock connector) to the VX7010 through the head unit's front-panel USB port and 3.5mm AV input. This type of connection supports playback of audio/video content stored on your Apple device, as well as music and movies streamed to your iPhone from select apps. If you only require iPod/iPhone audio playback, you can simply connect your iPod/iPhone to the VX7010's front-panel USB input via the USB/Dock connector cable that came with your iPod/iPhone. You will also need to use the included mini-USB (type-B) to USB (type-A) adapter cable for this connection.
    • Lightning-Connector iPod/iPhone: If you have an iPod/iPhone with the new Lightning-connector; use the Lightning-to-USB cable that came with your Apple device to connect to the head unit's front-panel USB input. These Apple devices only support audio playback of stored music and streamed music apps on your iPod/iPhone device. These Apple devices do not support video output.
    Note: Connecting your iPod/iPhone directly to the head unit via USB (using the cable that came with your device), bypasses the Apple device's DAC and utilizes the 24-bit DAC in the VX7010 for maximized sound quality. Using the optional jLink-USB cable from Jensen does not bypass the iPod/iPhone DAC, so you are limited to the DAC in your Apple device.

    iPod/iPhone Control: The Jensen VX7010 offers music & video navigation, as well as display of song/artist information and battery charging.

Your compatible mobile device will need an active Data Plan account with connection to the Internet via 3G, EDGE, or WiFi. You will also need a Pandora music service account. The Jensen VX7010 provides control over the Pandora music service and displays Artist, Album, and Song information (including Album Art).

    • Station List: You can select Pandora stations from your Station List.
    • Skip Songs: You can skip song tracks within a station. You cannot skip back to a previous song. Pandora limits the number of skips allowed.
    • Thumbs Up/Down: You can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down to help Pandora personalize stations to suit your preferences.
    • Bookmarking: The song or artist currently being played can be bookmarked & stored in your Pandora account.
    Note: Access to the Pandora service will depend on the availability of a cellular and/or WiFi network for purposes of allowing your iPhone to connect to the Internet. Pandora is not supported in Canada & only available in the United States.

    SiriusXM Ready: The Jensen VX7010 comes ready for SiriusXM programming with access to XM & Sirius Satellite Radio stations. Thanks to its proprietary SiriusXM Connect port, you can add the optional SXV200V1 SiriusXM Connect tuner and receive more than 150 channels of exclusive programming directly from SiriusXM, via the "SiriusXM All Access" package (subscription required).

    Audio Section

    D/A Converter: The Jensen VX7010 is equipped with a high-performance 24-bit, 192kHz digital-to-analog converter with a multi-bit Sigma-Delta modulator.

    CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the VX7010 are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the VX7010 are as follows:

    • 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)

    6V/5Ch Preamp Outputs w/ Subwoofer Control: The Jensen VX7010 is equipped with five 6.0-volt preamp outputs (Front/Rear/mono-Sub). The front and rear channels are fading, while the subwoofer output is non-fading with an adjustable low-pass crossover filter (Off/80/120/160Hz) and separate level control (+/-12).

    EQ: The VX7010's built-in equalizer offers 8 preset sound modes (Optimal, Classic, Rock, Jazz, Techno, Pop, Flat, or User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 10-band EQ (31.5Hz, 62Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz, and 16kHz) from 0-20.

    Audio Enhancements: The Jensen navigation receiver offers a variety of audio settings to enhance your listening experience in your vehicle.

    • Loudness: The Loudness feature compensates for deficiencies in the low and high sound ranges at lower volume.
    • Source Level: You can increase the relative volume (+/-6) of the unit's source inputs to match the external source's output level. The Source Level can be used for the VX7010's Radio, Disc, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, Navigation, or AV input.

    Programmable Turn-on Volume: You can program the VX7010 to turn on with the volume at a preset level, instead of the same level as when the head unit was turned off last. This prevents possible speaker damage or a startling surprise when the receiver first turns on at a high volume level.

    Beep Tones: An audible beep tone confirms each function selection. The beep tone can be disabled/enabled in the Setup Menu.

    A/V Connection

    Dual AV Inputs: The Jensen VX7010 is equipped with AV input terminals on the front and rear of the unit to enable enjoyment of content from an external connected source. The rear composite video/stereo RCA inputs are ideal for permanent installations, while the front AV mini-jack (3.5mm) input will come in handy for quick connection of a portable audio/visual source.

    Video Out: A single RCA composite video-output jack allows you to an add external monitor such as rear headrest monitor (sold separately). The video output will display whatever video signal that is being displayed on the head unit's touchscreen monitor.

    Rear View Camera Input: The Camera Input consists of a Composite video RCA jack for connecting an optional rear view camera (sold separately) in order to display the area behind your vehicle on the head unit's touchscreen. When an optional rearview camera is connected to this unit, the rear view image is displayed on the screen when your vehicle is placed in reverse gear (green/white wire of harness must be connected to reverse light wire of vehicle). Automatic video switching takes approximately 0.75 seconds. Audio from your music source will continue playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.

    Remote Control

    IR Remote Control: The Jensen VX7010 comes supplied with a 44-button IR remote control which provides wireless operation of the Jensen navigation receiver; including Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming functions.

    Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The Jensen VX7010 offers built-in steering wheel remote compatibility for non-CAN Bus vehicles (the three SWC wires of the harness will need to be hardwired to vehicle's wiring). You can configure the steering wheel remote commands from the unit's touchscreen. The head unit's OEM steering wheel remote control input is also compatible with optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately) for CAN Buss vehicles. Please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.

    Q
    Does the screen display the name of the song and artist when listening to the XM Satellite?
    donald  Apr 09, 2015
    2 answers
    A
    Yes, the RDS text comes across and I can see the name of the song and artist. That being said it looks like Jensen has a bug in their scrolling. Once the line of data scrolls to the left and fills up the "buffer" it starts over at the right side so it appears jumpy when you have a long title/artist. I think it should scroll in a circular fashion, albeit that might be slow at times.

    Hello, I have not installed the radio in my car yet as I'm doing modifications on it. History from comparable radios you need to make sure you hit save whenever you make changes or they won't save. I will be installing soon and check this out. Keith

    First ensure your time zone and date are correct. If both are and it is still adjusting incorrectly turn off radio data and set manually. from the Manual: CT ON/OFF - (Clock Time) When enabled the radio system clock is synchronized with broadcasters time signal setting the clock automatically. In some regions where daylight savings time is not adhered to, the system clock will be off by 1 hour. In these cases, set CT to OFF and manually set the clock.

    Yes, you can adjust the angle of the screen when it comes out if you have a particular angle you prefer. I no longer have this radio, but I believe you hold down the button that makes the screen come out and go back in for a couple seconds, then you can adjust the screen by simultaneously holding that button with the screen out and twisting the dial

    There isn't really a way to adjust the screen - it pops out to a preset angle that is nearly vertical with a slight tilt back. I find the screen is easy to see from my driver's seat, and I've never really thought of adjusting it. I'm about medium height.

    Sounds like you may have an issue with the microphone did you check to see if it is plugged in it so it may be faulty Mic. As far as the tilt option you can do so but you have to go into settings and adjust the tilt controls. Once you set how far you want the tilt to adjust it will then be saved and only tilt to that adjustment

    No issues here. Make sure the included microphone is connected, and make sure it is positioned as close as you can get it to your head. I wired mine up near the sun visor on the driver A pillar and it seems to work okay there without being very noticeable or in my field of view.

    Make sure the microphone is close to your head. Or plugged in at all for that matter. The installer may have not included it in your install. It has a clip or peel and stick mount with a cord that plugs into the back of the head unit.

    Thank you for your reply, I had no idea that there was a micro SD card in the unit. After finding it and inserting it into a USB adapter then the computer I got an error message that it was experiencing an "irregular shutdown" and not to continue but to reinsert the SD card into the stereo unit and start up the navigation then go to the main menu and hit the exit button. Then to continue with the download on my computer. Only problem is, is that there is no "Exit" button to hit anywhere! I've e-mailed naviextra about a week ago and am still awaiting some help. Any more help? So far you've been of great assistance.

    OK, at home and checked into Toolbox for the Jensen. 1. You need to plug in your radio with a USB cord when the toolbox is open and it should find and ID the radio. 2. If you already installed the radio in the car, you can pop out the SD micro card from the radio, instert it into an SD micro card reader--most basically make the SD micro look like a regularly sized SD card. (Haven't doneit recently but believe you push in on the card slightly to release it. The SD micro card is tiny!! 2. You need to log into the Nav toolbox. If you have not created a user profile click on creating a user profile and complete that process. With that info and the SM micro readable by the toolbox, it will automatically register your radio. 3. There should be an updates button on the left. This will get the SD card updated with the latest software. It will know that this is a first time use and give you an update at no charge. Note: takes quite a while to update--about 10 minutes on my computer (different for others based on computer speed and web access speed.) It will tell you when it is done. 4. If you are still having problems, click on the help button on the toolbox home page. Most everything you need to do is described in the help file along with some youtube type videos, although they go through the process pretty quickly. Hope that helps.

    Hey Steve, I believe I took the SD card out if the radio and put the Naviextras directly on it. (I can't remember if I had to unzip the files or run etc) once on the SD card you can put it back in the radio and follow the directions on the radio. Check google for better step by step. It has been a while since I did it. I do know it involved the using the SD card on the radio. I could never get the usb thumb drive to work for it. It works great for music though. I really like the unit! Also the SD card is located by the usb slot on the front of the radio. Good luck

    Steve,I installed one in November and recall noting the instruction was not real clear on the download,but I got through it. Because of Christmas, I am not near my computer or I could ans your Q very specifically. I will respond with more detail next week, weds. In the mean time here is some help: 1) purpose of loading the Nav website is so you can get a one time map update of the maps loaded when the device was build and packaged. 2) the desktop link will know that you have one free update coming by virtue of your registration. 3) I though you had to have the 7010 out of the car and tha was the reason for the red card caution saying do this first, but then realized the micro SD card can be taken out of the radio and could be connected directly to a computer, of course with the appropriate card reader and probably a SD convertor that takes the microSD and allows it to be inserted like a regular SD card. So, if you can open the desktop software and find the update button, that is what you are looking for. Like I said, it will know the first is free. Btw, the update is state by state and relatively slow, so it will take a while--mine was over 10 minutes. When done, it will say so, but don't interrupt it before then. That's all the info I can provide, but will give you an addendum when I get home. I am very happy w/Jensen and all functions came up and working well-BU camera, XM link, Bluetooth to phone, and Nav functions.

    My process:: There is a little tab above the USB symbol on the face plate of the receiver. Use your nail and pull the tab. You will then need to remove the mircoSD card from the unit by pushing in on it. Take the microSD card, insert into an SD card adapter and insert that into your SD card slot on your computer. You can then use the toolbox on your computer to back up your navigation system. You need to do this BEFORE you do anything else because if you lose the navigation data or it is somehow corrupted during updating, you will have to purchase it again. There is no way to get it back if it is corrupted if you do not have a backup saved to your toolbox. After you have backed it up, you can then use the update that is available to update your navigation data. After this is complete, you can back it up a second time with the updates that you just installed. After the updated backup in complete, you may safely remove the SD card from your computer, remove the microSD card from the adapter and reinsert the microSD card into your unit. At this time, your navigation data should be up to date based on the available free update. Hope this helped!

    Now you should be able to open the software on your system. (it should have created a shortcut on your desktop, white icon with a gray X on it, or look for the software where you saved it to.) Once you open the software it will open a program that will help you install/update maps to the SD card. (make sure you take the SD card out of the Jensen VX7010 and then insert it into your computer so the software can find it.) From there you can navigate through the program to download and install maps. Good luck.

    I didn't know this had mirroring. Will have to look at it. My smart TV has it. And I have used it. Its a cool feature.

    I'm not sure what you mean by mirroring, but if you want to stream from your phone, or connect your phone to the unit, you just use bluetooth., Then you have to be in the BT settings in order to scroll the music as long as the phone BT is connected. The phone also connects automatically to the unit if you keep the BT on the phone after you turn the car on.

    I don't understand your question are you referring to the camera option? or are you talking about mirroring your phone with the system because you can't do anything except for your use your Bluetooth and copy your address book by syncing it with the system through system settings

    does the screen comes on everytime you turn the ignition on or it waits that you push the open button?

    The screen automatically opens every time you turn on the ignition, or even when you just turn on the battery. It also automatically closes everytime the battery/car is turned off. So just in case you forget to close it and you live in a city like me, it will close so no one will know it is fancy (i.e. no one will think to steal it- though I can't guarantee that, mine has not been messed with). It is a GREAT product. I am unbelievably happy I bought it. i use it constantly. It has ALOT of features that I didn't even know it had until I read the user manual. Which I wasnt even expecting to read, But it helped alot. Happy hunting!

    Yes the screen opens whenever the unit is powered up.

    Only if you left the radio on after turning off your vehicle. The screen however, will close. Then when you start you car, the screen will open. But, if you turn the radio off before turning off your vehicle, the screen will remain closed wether your vehicle is on or off. However, there is a plus side as well, the screen can be closed while radio is turned on to keep it hidden and protected, if not using navigation. I hope this helps.

    The screen does come out every time you start the car and it closes every time you shut off the car. I'm not sure if there are any setting to change this.

    Does the audio from the current source mute or lower when a GPS voice command is given. I had a in dash GPS that muted the audio source when a GPS command was given and it really annoyed me, my friends pioneer still plays audio but the audio is lowered when a GPS voice command is given?

    You can change the voice style. You can also adjust the volume level for each type of audio (i.e. GPS, Radio, Bluetooth, etc ALL have a section under "Volume" in the Settings section). They all start at 0 and you can range the volume start level from -6 to 6. I have the GPS at a 6 and the Bluetooth at a 6 because everything seems to be automatically quieter than the radio's default volume.

    It does mute the audio to prompt you. You can adjust the verbosity level 3 times for less detailed directions during prompts. You also can adjust the speed warning from 0 to 130% of the speed limit. Nice feature. Pete.

    Mick, I just returned from a 200 mile trip using the Jensen. It works just like the Garmins that I have owned. The audio is muted when the nav wants to give you a message. It also tells you that you are speeding! Some of the other obvious things that Garmin put out front are hidden but they are in the manual. Current speed is behind a lower right icon. Press and hold! Good nav aid you just have to fool with it. Bob

    When using the GPS the audio does Mute unfortunately, Im not to crazy about it myself... But I can deal with it! It was nice though too have the lowered volume in my last truck, wish I had it now

    Mick B This is an excellent radio but it does mute the music when you are using GPS . I have to check to see if there is a setting that it might have to change it. The other thing it does will tell you you are going to fast when you go over the posted speed limit. That's all the time with or without GPS. The VX7010 although is a excellent radio andGPS with blue tooth compatible with my note 2. I hope this helps . thanks Arnold

    Yes the GPS does mute other audio sources when commands are given. I agree that this can be very annoying! You do have some control over how verbose the GPS will be, which can help, and you can also turn off extraneous GPS alerts (like speed warnings) if you wish. Hope this helps!

    Hi Mick. If I remember correctly the audio gets muted which I don't mind because I have bumped up the volume all the way to 6 on the gps as you can do for individual components on it, and I still have a hard time hearing it. The audio on this unit sucks unfortunately. I have an amp that I want to install, but haven't gotten around to it yet, since I still need a ground cable and I don't know if my leftover speaker wire will be enough. I used the radio with the top down on my car today and I could not hear a thing. The louder I turned it, the worst the speakers sounded. So I'm hoping the amp will fix that because this has been annoying me quite a bit. The component speakers were loud and clear with my old sony head unit though just to give you an idea. Other than that ,the unit seems to work fine so far. Unfortunately you also don't get any 3D buildings on the gps

    When you are listening to music and using the GPS, the music will just lower it's volume when a GPS command is given, then raise back up to the original volume after the command has been given. And it's a great GPS by the way! It can be buggy at times, but a great value for the price!

    Yes...make sure that little tab in the battery compartment is on top of the battery and not under it. It's a really cheap design and that tab which is the positive side ends up next to the negative side which makes the remote useless as if there is no battery in it. I had the same problem and now works fine.

    You can hit the button and the screen will go back in and you can listen to the radio without it, but after a while you just give up and let it do its thing. But yes, you can do that after you start the car. I just leave it open while I'm driving because you still need to use the screen to change stations or move to the next song for example when using my usb stick.

    How can I get this unit to output DVD video to a rear monitor while driving? I don't care about watching any sort of movies in the front, I got it for the kids. I don't see the point of having to be parked to have kids watch movies on a long trip.

    Garmin and iGo are two completely different companies so their software will not blend. There are some POI programs on the internet that can make files that can be used, I would do a search. When you buy the unit it comes with "The latest Map Guarantee", what this means is that if a map update has come out between when it was made and when you bought it you will get the new map data for free. So you start out with the latest info unlike many other brands, Even my new car had 1 year old maps. Map updates from iGo are at Naviextras web site and cost around $70. Any system update for a fix or bug is free for life.

    I'm not sure if you can directly load points of interest from your old Garmin GPS to the built in GPS of this stereo, I would imagine you can not, since they are different brands of GPS. You will probably have to manually save your old points of interest onto this one. And I believe updates are free, it comes with a micro SD card you are supposed to use to update the GPS, via a computer I assume. I've actually had multiple Garmins before this GPS, and I have to say, the quality of this GPS really surprised me, I couldn't be happier.
    andrew  Jul 16, 2014

    No it's not free. The last time I checked for updting my GPS was $99.00 from Garmin themselves. But better safe than sorry about knowing you whereabouts fully. They're still updating with additional process of constant development of neighborhood(s).
