what do you guys think about this product here all i really need to know is will it last a while for 600 bucks is it worth it dvd head unit thanks

IMHO, I'd save up a little more money and get a better quality brand. Jensen is your lower end equipment. Do you have to have a DVD player with a in-dash screen? If not, that $600 will get you a much higher quality CD/MP3/Changer HU.

I would recommend staying away from those movable screen, get one thats double-din with the built in screen that does not move.

I have a fold out, I like it. If I had to choose again I would choose fold out over double din, just because it sits higher and I can pivot the screen as well as tilt.

My last two head units were flip out, and I never had a problem with them although I only had them for 2 years each. I would bet that the motor would be the first thing to go.

Anyway why do reccomend the double over the single din flip out? I gues the double does look maybe more stock..

Get whatever just don't get jensen that's not going to be good quality or last very long..

I recommend double din...I got the Kenwood 7015...it does look very much more stock and like it goes...people always ask me if it came with the truck...Im like yes dude...

...thats my opinion

thanks guys for the info yes but when ur 17 years old and have to pay gas and truck payment you cant alway go for the top of the line stuff ... soo your saying i wont like this product and it will break i dont mind if its not as clear as other just mostly is it going to break in a year or 2 from now?

while the jensens supposedly have great screen quality, jensen products have a tendecy not to last very long

1) id either buy a single din,and save up your money for a better screen

or

2) buy the jensen (since you are young and all) but buy it with a extended warranty as Id doubt it would last mroe than a year of actual use

good luck, and and how in the H@@L are you able to afford a titan at 17? man I had a broken hand me down nissan sentra lol

I was rollin in it when I was 17 with TWO cars! a vega that blew more smoke than cheech and chong and a 66 galaxy with rust holes you could fall thru if you weren't careful

I'd go with a Craico or a Sparkomatic.

I had a jensen a couple of years ago in my tacoma just like that almost....it broke in about 6 months......screen probolems.

I would personally go with the Alpine DVD 9860 head unit (no screen) with an aftermarket screen in the factory NAV bezel. It would look stock for the screen ind should be a breeze to install.
