Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Stretch your dollars and your options

Jensen's MP1514 CD receiver is at the budget end of their receiver lineup, but you may be surprised of the features it offers. You can plug your iPod® or iPhone® into the handy front USB input and control the tunes from the receiver. Or you and your friends can plug other players and audio sources into the receiver's front-panel minijack input.

The MP1514 plays all your store-bought and home-burned CDs. It'll play discs loaded with MP3 and WMA files, and you can load in an SD card with up to 8 GB of your favorite tunes, so you can enjoy long road trips without having to swap out discs.

Strong power output

This Jensen boasts more power output than the typical factory radio, with a built-in amp that delivers your music loud and clear, even over road and wind noise. If you're into big bass, you can use the receiver's preamp outputs to add a powered sub to your system.
