Jensen VX3518

The retractable screen angles back slightly, so check your dash to make sure it won't hit anything or block any important vents when it opens.

Pandora® control with your iPhone®

When you're cruising for yourself, take your carefully curated Pandora stations on the road. The VX3518 lets you control content right from the touchscreen. For more entertainment options, this Jensen will play nearly any kind of disc, while the front USB input lets you pull songs from thumb drives or your iPhone®. You'll set the sound the way you want it with Jensen's 8-band equalizer.

Experience satellite radio

If you're a satellite radio fan, you can connect a SiriusXM® tuner (sold separately) and start enjoying the wide variety of music, sports, news, and entertainment available. If you haven't experienced satellite radio, you'll be blown away by the incredible selection of music and more that comes with your subscription. Plus, you can drive all the way across the USA without losing your favorite channels.

Audio/video inputs

The VX3518 also includes 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.

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.

    Built-in Bluetooth

    Bluetooth Technology: The Jensen VX3518 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. In order to use Bluetooth wireless technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth Profiles:

    • Hands-Free Communication: HFP (Hands Free Profile), PBAB (Phone Book Access Profile).
    • Audio Streaming: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
    Multi-Device Pairing: Before using the unit's Bluetooth functions, you must pair your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or audio device to the VX3518 (PIN # 5309). You can pair up to five Bluetooth-enabled devices to the Jensen head unit, but only one can be used at a time. When an already paired Bluetooth device is in close proximity to the receiver, the auto connection function automatically connects the device and receiver.
    Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some mobile devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the VX3518.

    Hands-Free Communication (w/ External Mic): The VX3518 supports Bluetooth hands-free communication from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. You can answer an incoming call from the head unit's touchscreen and carry on a phone conversation hands-free. The included external microphone carries on your side of the conversation while your car's speakers are used to hear the other person. You can make a call by entering the phone number, selecting a contact from your Phonebook list, using the Call History Log of received/dialed/missed calls, or using voice recognition.

    • Answering A Call: During an incoming call, the caller's phone number will be seen on the unit's LCD and a ring-tone will be heard through your car stereo speakers. You can then manually answer the incoming call from the head unit's front-panel controls. Any audio playback will be attenuated during a call.
    • Making A Call: You can make a call using the Jensen in-dash head unit's front-panel controls. Outgoing calls can be made be entering telephone numbers directly via the head unit's touchscreen.

You can even use your voice to make a call by pressing the "Voice Access" icon on the on the BT Phone menu screen of the head unit (your phone must also support voice recognition).

    Wireless Audio Streaming: The Jensen VX3518 allows you to play back stored music, music apps, and other audio content from your Bluetooth source device. You can control basic music playback functions; including Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track from the VX3518 (advanced music navigation will still need to be done through your Bluetooth mobile device). This unit will even display song/artist/album information (no album art) on its touchscreen monitor. When an incoming call or outgoing call is in progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be paused so you can take your call. Once the call is finished, your streaming music will resume.

    iPod/iPhone Integration

    iPod/iPhone USB Direct (Lightning Connector Only): The Jensen VX3518 supports direct connection of select Apple iPods and iPhones with a Lightning connector through its front-panel USB port (not compatible with rear-panel USB port). The unit offers audio playback, control, song/artist/album display, and charging of your Apple device through its USB port.

    • Music Browsing: You can use the VX3518's touchscreen to browse your music by Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Genre, or Composer. You can also access a music track directly by using the head unit's touchscreen keypad. In addition, you can activate Random & Repeat playback modes. Your Apple Lightning device will still allow you to navigate stored content and apps from the Apple device's touchscreen.
    • Song/Artist/Album Display: The Jensen VX3518 will display your iPod/iPhone's music file information from stored music and select music apps. The head unit will display Track number, Elapsed playing time, Artist name, Song/Album title, and Album Art.

    Q
    I bought this stereo and hooked it up. Is the unit supposed to have constant power even when the key isn't in the ignition?

    A
    Mine hasn't done that. However, my unit makes a funny sound like a motor is running. I'm still on the fence with mine. I'm considering an upgrade because it seems this stereo has issues that the manufacturer hasn't worked out, yet.
    miguel  Jan 10, 2019
    A
    No it's not- does yours make noise when it's on . Like a gear spinning out
    phyllis  Dec 30, 2018
    A
    No, maybe you hooked up the constant hot and the acc hot to the same lead.
    matt  Dec 30, 2018
    A
    Obviously whether or not your unit has constant power depends on where you are pulling your primary power. If you are pulling from the ignition circuit it will go off with the ignition. If you pull power from the always 'on' auxiliary power line then it will always have power. I purchased the Crutchfield harness. It was set to pull power from the ignition circuit so it goes off when the key is pulled. Note that the secondary power must be on the always 'on' auxiliary power in order to preserve your units settings.

    Yes, there is battery power at the unit, at all times. But, it is only for a 'sleep' mode, very slight power draw...
    marty  Dec 30, 2018
    A
    Yeah it needs constant power. Without it you cant save your radio stations an the clock will always be the wrong time
    cody  Dec 30, 2018

    Probably for the clock. But it shouldn't work otherwise
    allen  Dec 30, 2018

    No it shouldn't

    i'm really not sure, i haven't installed the unit yet... i know you can use bluetooth with your android phone to operate certain functions like hands free calling and play music from your phone, but you cant really screen mirror your phone screen to the radio's screen unless you use a usb cable from the back of the radio unit to your android phone.. hope that helps

    Yes it does and the radio stops playing the CD or as I use a USB port for music. Love this unit.

    If you connect the reserve cable from the stereo to the reverse lights of your vehicle it will.

    Yes. We used a universal mount backup camera. If the screen is open and you put the vehicle in reverse, the backup camera view is displayed.

    Yes, as long as the back up wire has been connected to the unit.

    Though I don't have any measurements, it will tilt forward a decent amount. I'd say about 30 degrees.

    I've looked through all the information we have on it and even tried searching for a manual on Jensen's site. I couldn't find any information on how far the screen tilts. I recommend calling Jensen support on 888-921-4088 for that information My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=101
