About the Jensen VX4014

All you'll want in a touchscreen — in half the space

Touchscreen DVD receivers open up exciting possibilities for in-car entertainment and smartphone integration. But if your car's dash doesn't have the real estate for a double-DIN (4" tall) receiver, Jensen's VX4014 DVD receiver solves the space problem with a motorized 7" touchscreen that gives you access to all kinds of convenient features, including Apple CarPlay.

Jensen VX4014 DVD receiver

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

Fold-out control center

Turn your key and the big display folds out to serve as a control center for all your entertainment. Along with its many other cool features, the VX4014 enhances your car's entertainment system with built-in Bluetooth®, so you can stream your music library or favorite apps from any smartphone. You can take and make calls while keeping your hands on the wheel, while an outboard microphone ensures excellent call quality, even in noisy vehicles.

CarPlay, for a seamless iPhone® experience

Jensen VX4014

The touchscreen display folds out of sight when not in use.

Apple CarPlay is like an extension of your iPhone on the touchscreen display. Connect to the receiver via USB and you'll have a selection of easy-to-use icons for music, navigation, phone, and messaging — all controllable by Siri with compatible phones. You'll drive smarter and safer with fewer distractions, all while enjoying the entertainment options your smartphone provides.

More media, more fun

The VX4014 offers plenty of entertainment options. If you're into your carefully curated Pandora stations, you can control your content from the touchscreen when your iPhone® is connected, or take charge via Bluetooth with your Android™ phone. 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. If you're into radio, add a SiriusXM tuner into the mix and enjoy a stellar variety of music, news, talk, sports, and more (subscription and tuner required).

You've got connections

The VX4014 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.

You'll need a wired connection to your parking brake to access settings and other features on this receiver. Your parking brake must be connected and set in order to view video on its screen.

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.

    iPhone (CarPlay) & Android Integration

    Apple CarPlay: Apple CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your USB-connected iPhone 5 or newer (running latest iOS version) with Lightning-connector in the car, while you stay focused on the road. Apple CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and integrates them into the Jensen VX4014. Apple CarPlay offers an incredibly intuitive way to make calls, view maps, listen to music, and access messages from your compatible iPhone through the VX4014 in-dash receiver. With Apple CarPlay, you can control these functions from the Jensen receiver's touchscreen or activate Siri for minimized distraction. Your iPhone with Lightning connector will plug into the VX4014 front-panel USB port and an Apple certified Lightning-to-USB cable (not included).

    • Maps: Through Apple CarPlay, the power and simplicity of Apple Maps comes to your dashboard; complete with turn-by-turn direction, traffic conditions, and estimated travel time. You can enter a new destination or choose a favorite or recent destination using the head unit's touchscreen or by simply asking Siri. CarPlay can also predict where you most likely want to go using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars. If you have iOS 12.0 or newer on your iPhone with the latest version of Google Maps or Waze (coming soon), you can choose to navigate via Google Maps or Waze instead of CarPlay. Google Maps and Waze do not support Siri voice control, but will have there own proprietary voice control function which has to be accessed through a touchscreen icon on the receiver.
    • Phone: With Apple CarPlay, you can use the VX4014's interactive touchscreen or ask Siri to make calls, return calls, and check voicemail. To dial a phone number, simply press the "Siri" button and Siri will ask you who you want to call. Using the touchscreen you can manually enter a phone number from the on-screen keypad, scroll through contacts, or select from recent and miss calls. In addition, you get access to your voicemails via the touchscreen or Siri. When a call comes in, simply tap the "Phone" icon to answer. You'll carry on your side of the conversation through the included external microphone, while the other party is heard through your vehicle's speakers.
    • Text Messages: Apple CarPlay also lets you enjoy a better and safer way of text messaging with friends and family when you're on the road, through the Jensen receiver and Siri. Through your voice commands, Siri can send, read, and reply to your text messages so that you never have to glance at your phone while behind the wheel. When a new message comes in a banner will come across the screen and Siri will read back the message for you. Text messages cannot be read or typed from the head unit's touchscreen to prevent driver distraction.
    • Music Library: CarPlay lets you access your music in your iPhone's music library, plus iTunes radio from the Jensen VX4014. You can browse your music by Playlist, Artist, Song, etc.. just like you would on your iPhone from the VX4014's touchscreen. You can also use Siri to find and play back your music. The VX4014's touchscreen will display song/artist information, as well as album art in the background. Tap the Now Playing icon on the Jensen receiver's capacitive touchscreen and see song, artist, album information with Album Art displaying in the background. From the Now Playing screen you also get basic playback function, like Play/Pause, Previous Next/Track, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Repeat/Shuffle.
    • Audio Apps & Podcasts: CarPlay also supports additional audio apps that you've downloaded to your iPhone for enjoying podcasts, music, and radio - including Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio, TuneIn Radio, Slacker Radio, Vox, Stitcher, MLB.com At Bat, CBS Radio News, NPR One, OverCast, Audiobooks.com & Audible. Control them from the head unit's touchscreen or Siri just like you would from your iPhone. Your iPhone's touchscreen remains unlocked during CarPlay connection, so you are able to access additional music apps and listen to them through the Jensen receiver; however these apps offer no control or display information from the head unit's touchscreen.
    • Other Functions: Within the CarPlay's touchscreen menu is a circular icon which acts like the back button on your iPhone. In addition there is an "Main Menu" icon which exists CarPlay and takes you back to the Jensen receiver's Home Menu.

    Notes:

    • Your iPhone will need an active Data Plan account with connection to the Internet via 3G, EDGE, LTE (4G), or WiFi.
    • Bluetooth hands-free phone cannot be used while Apple CarPlay is being used with a connected iPhone.
    • The VX4014 also has a rear-panel USB port, but it is for charging only.

    Mirroring via HDMI (for iPhone & Android): The Jensen's VX4014's rear-panel HDMI/MHL input can be used to connect select Apple iOS (with Lightning connector) or MHL-enabled Android devices for mirroring and audio/video playback through the DVD receiver (requires your vehicle's parking brake be engaged). You can listen to stored music and music apps, as well a view stored video and video apps. The head unit's touchscreen will display the same screen which is displayed on your smartphone, as well as video (not always full-screen). Audio content will also be heard over your vehicle's speaker system. The following proprietary connector cables are required for Android or Apple iOS connectivity.

    • iPhone Connectivity: If you have a newer iPhone with the Lightning connector, you will need Apple's Lightning Digital AV adapter (sold separately), a Lightning-to-USB cable (like the one included with your iPhone), and a HDMI cable (sold separately). The HDMI connector provides the audio/video playback, while the rear-panel USB connection charges your iPhone device.
    • Android Connectivity: Prior to connecting your MHL-enabled Android smartphone/tablet, you will need to download the "Jensen HDMI/MHL Connect App" (available from the Google Play store) onto your compatible Android device. To connect your Android (OS 4.0+) smartphone, you'll need a microUSB-to-HDMI/MHL cable (sold separately) which plugs into the Jensen receiver's HDMI input, plus your phone will need to paired via Bluetooth to the Jensen receiver. New Samsung smartphones don't support MHL and select older Samsung smartphones will require an additional 5-pin to 11-pin adapter (sold separately). The HDMI/MHL connector provides the audio/video playback and charges your Android device, while the Bluetooth connection provides touchscreen control. Check here for a list of compatible MHL-enabled Android phones.
    Notes:
    • Mirroring and video playback from an HDMI connected Apple iOS or Android device requires that your vehicle's parking brake be engaged.
    • You cannot control your Apple iOS or Android device from the head unit's touchscreen; you will still need to use your smartphone's touchscreen for control.

    iPod/iPhone USB Direct: In addition to CarPlay and HDMI connectivity, the Jensen VX4014 also supports direct connection of select Apple iPods and iPhones through its front-panel USB port for audio playback only. The unit will automatically switch to iPod/iPhone mode when an iPod or iPhone is plugged into the front-panel USB port. The unit offers audio playback, control, song/artist/album display (with album art), and charging of your Apple device through its USB port.

    • Music Browsing: You can use the VX4014'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. Newer iPod/iPhones with iOS 6.0+ will still allow you to navigate stored content and apps from the Apple device's touchscreen; older iPod/iPhone devices will be locked during connection.
    • Song/Artist/Album Display: The Jensen VX4014 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.
    • Battery Charging: The head unit's USB connection provides 1A of current to power and charge your connected iPod/iPhone when your vehicle's ignition switch is set to the 'ACC' or 'On' position. If your iPod/iPhone has no initial battery charge, then the unit will not recognize it.
    Notes:
    • Direct iPod/iPod mode cannot be accessed while the CarPlay feature is enabled. The unit will automatically launch CarPlay, and iPod/Phone mode cannot be accessed from the Main Menu.
    • The VX4014 also has a rear-panel USB port, but it is for charging only.

    Built-in Bluetooth

    Bluetooth Technology: The Jensen VX4014 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 VX4014. 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 VX4014.

    Hands-Free Communication (w/ external mic): The VX4014 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 increase or decrease the volume level of a call, using the head unit's rotary knob on the front panel. You can also transfer calls between the receiver and your Bluetooth enabled phone.

    • Answering A Call: During an incoming call, the caller's phone number or assigned contact name 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 touchscreen. You can also set the unit to automatically answer an incoming call within 5 seconds. Any audio playback will be muted during a call. You can even reject an incoming call using the VX4014, so the call will revert to your phone's voice mail.

Outgoing calls can be made be entering telephone numbers directly via the head unit's touchscreen keypad. You can also make a call from your phone's transferred phonebook (up to 2000 contacts) using the Jensen's VX4014 touchscreen. In addition, you can use the receiver's call log (which consists of dialed numbers, received call, and missed calls) to make a call from the VX4014's touchscreen. If your phone supports voice recognition, you can even use your voice to dial a number from your contacts.

    Wireless Audio Streaming: The Jensen VX4014 allows you to play back stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet, or audio player. You can control basic music playback functions (Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track) from the VX4014. Advanced music navigation will still need to be done through your Bluetooth mobile device. This unit will not display song/artist information from a connected Bluetooth audio device. 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.

    Disc Compatibility: The Jensen VX4014 has a front-loading disc-slot to make loading your disc easier. The VX4014 supports playback of DVD Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-Audio, and CD-R/RW discs. The unit supports MPEG video & JPEG photo files recorded on to CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs. It also supports playback of MP3/WMA music files loaded onto a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, or DVD+R/RW disc.

    • Off Insert/Eject: You can insert or eject a disc with the unit powered off. Inserting a disc with the unit powered off does not automatically turn the unit on.
    • Auto Reload: If the disc is not removed from the disc slot within 10 seconds of being ejected, it will be automatically reloaded to prevent it from being accidentally damaged.
    • Parental Lock: The DVD system has a built-in Parental Lock feature to prevent unauthorized persons from viewing restricted disc content. By default, the rating system is unlocked.

    Audio Section

    CTA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the VX4014 are compliant with the CTA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). 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 VX4014 are as follows:

    • CTA2006 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)

    4V/5Ch Preamp Outputs + Subwoofer Control: The Jensen VX4014 is equipped with five 4.0-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).

    10-Band EQ: You can manually adjust the Jensen head unit's 10-band EQ (31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1k 2k, 4k, 8k Hz). Each frequency is adjustable from -10dB to + 10dB. You can save a different EQ setting or preset for each source.

    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 (+/-6dB) of the unit's source inputs to match the external source's output level. The Source Level can be used for the VX4014's Radio, Disc, microSD, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, Screen Mirroring (HDMI), AV input, or SiriusXM (optional).

    Programmable Turn-on Volume: You can program the receiver 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.

    AV Connections

    Dual AV Inputs: The Jensen VX4014 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.

    HDMI/MHL Input: In addition to iPhone and Android connectivity, the head unit's HDMI/MHL input can be used to connect almost any external mobile AV source with an HDMI output; such as a TV tuner, Blu-ray player, or game system. The HDMI input will provide video and audio playback. Your vehicle's parking brake will need to be engaged to view video on the receiver's screen. Playback functions will need to be controlled from your HDMI-connected device.

    Video Output: A single RCA composite video-output jack allows you to an add external monitor such as rear headrest monitor (sold separately). The video output can display a DVD, microSD card, USB, or AV-input video signal when its selected as the receiver's source, regardless if the vehicle's parking brake is engaged or not.

    Note: CarPlay, Screen Mirroring, and HDMI cannot be displayed through the receiver's video output.

    Rear View Camera Input: The Camera Input consists of a Composite video RCA jack for connecting an optional rear view camera (sold separately - see Accessories tab) 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 (head unit's green/white wire must be connected to the reverse light wire of vehicle). Automatic video switching takes approximately 0.9 seconds.

    Touchscreen & Remote Control

    7" Motorized-Retractable Touchscreen: The Jensen VX4014 features a motorized-retractable 7" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 touchscreen LCD display. 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. The Jensen VX4014 offers a variety of display adjustments to customize the display (unit does not offer angle adjustment).

    • Selectable UI Colors & Wallpapers: The background color of the head unit's on-screen user interface can be changed to Green, Amber, Yellow, Blue, or Navy Blue. You can also select between five different wallpaper backgrounds for the head unit's LCD touchscreen. Choose from Kaleidoscope, Blue Haze, Green Portal, Industrial, or Space.
    • Display Brightness & Picture Adjustment: You can adjust the brightness of the head unit's touchscreen LCD. Choose from Normal, Bright, Day, or Night. When watching a video, you can adjust the touchscreen display's brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue (from 1-20).
    • Angle Adjustment (requires firmware update): Angle adjustment of the motorized-retractable touchscreen monitor can be added to this receiver through a firmware update. The firmware update must be downloaded from Jensen's website onto a microSD card that will then need be loaded into the head unit.
    Note: For safety reasons, you cannot view a video source or mirror your phone on the built-in monitor as long as the vehicle is in motion (However, you can use CarPlay without the parking brake engaged). 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.

    Secondary LCD Screen: In addition to the 7" motorized-retractable monitor, the Jensen VX4014 features a secondary 8-character/Segment type LCD screen. This display can be used during music playback for track & song information. You will need to use the 7" LCD touchscreen monitor for menu functions and to view video.

    Hard-Key Controls w/ Variable Color Illumination: In addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons and a rotary-dial along the front-panel. 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).

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

    Remote Control: The Jensen head unit comes with an IR remote and supports many vehicle's steering wheel controls (adapter required).

    • IR Remote The head unit comes supplied with a 20-button IR remote control which provides wireless operation of the Jensen DVD receiver.
    • Optional SWC Interface: The unit features a SWC (steering wheel control) input which lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel control adapter from PAC or Metra (sold separately - see Accessories tab).

    How do you remove the faceplate? The manual says itâ??s detachable, but has no information on how to do so. I canâ??t find a release button or anything of the sort, and Iâ??m reluctant to just pull on it.

    Q
    What is proper format on SD and USB cards so that VX4014 properly displays artist, song and album info on screen?
    michael  Dec 07, 2019
    2 answers
    A
    The file format must be Fat32. You might want to use folders to. I haven't used this -- I mostly use Car Play with my iPhone, but the simplest way to to put the files on is simply to move the files to the SD or USB flash memory. If you have a combination of audio, video, and pictures, perhaps you want to put folders at the top of the hierarchy, then put Video, Music, or audiobooks on the folders and drop the appropriate files at different levels. I haven't used this, as I say, I'm reading the manual, which I got from the Jensen website.

    Hi Mike, thank you for your question. The Jensen will display song, artist, and album info from a USB mass storage devices and SD cards that are formatted in FAT 16 or FAT 32, and that are MP3, or WMA files. The Jensen will not be capable of using any SD card or USB device that does not follow the required format and file types. Hope this helps, Mike.

    I can only guess that the yellow wire does not have +12V battery voltage at all times. And of course, the black wire must be grounded at all times.

    It should fit any car that had a single din (8" X 2") radio. But, the display will cover items 4.5" above it. And, the gear shift lever may also interfere with the display going in or out. So, look your dash over carefully.

    It's a single din but it needs room for the radio to pop out. Some cars won't have the clearance room and this radio could block things. Hope that helps.

    I have a 2004 Subaru Forester, not a Honda. And no, it does not clear the existing dash piece if I secure it to the bracket. So I didn't screw it into the braces, I just set it in and pulled it out enough that it could clear

    My application was to a 2002 Dodge truck. It does not hit the dash as it comes into position though it is very close and does cover the air vents. Very happy with the radio and find that the Apple car play is great.
