Nice DVD/TV/GPS setup for your SUPRA!

[JMDigital]

I did not see a section for audio so I posted here. I wanted to tell everyone that is looking for a DVD/TV/GPS setup. The Jensen VM-9021TS is a nice system. It took me about 1 hour to install it and get it working correctly.
There is a control box that is not in the pic I posted, it fit in my glove box. or you could hide it somewhere else. The cable that connects it to the radio is long.

Here are the specs..

7" TFT TOUCH SCREEN LCD WITH INTEGRATED SECURE DIGITAL(TM) CARD READER; DOUBLE DIN; 1440 X 234 PIXELS; WATCH VIDEOS, VIEW IMAGES & PHOTOS, PLAYBACK MUSIC & CHARGE YOUR IPD(R) DIRECTLY FROM THE RADIO

AM/FM TUNER WITH 30 STATION PRESETS
MULTI-ZONE CONTROL ALLOWS PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHILE REAR PASSENGERS LISTEN TO A CD OR WATCH DVDS
TV TUNER
5V PEAK/2V RMC RCA OUTPUTS – ALL CHANNELS
RCA INPUT
BACK-UP CAMERA INPUT
SUB CROSSOVER
INCLUDES 2 REMOTES

There is a different type of lockout to stop you from watching dvd’s while driving. You can not just ground the e-break wire to fix it. However I found a hidden setup menu that lets you turn off the feature entirely! (if you get one pm me and I will tell you how to do it :naughty: ) So we are free to drive and watch DVD’s or TV! Just don’t kill anyone ok!

This was SIMPLE to install took about 1 hour. I have had this for about 4 months now and I don’t think I could go back to a normal radio.

It was a lot cheaper then the KENWOOD or CLARION setups. It cost me $620.00 The GPS addon is about 600.00 and I will be getting that soon.

Wanted to let everyone know of a good system. I can post some pics of how it looks installed if anyone is interested. It’s a DOUBLE DIN. If anyone gets this and needs any advice or help let me know. Its not hard to install however the book is a little hard to understand, I had to take it out because I connected 1 video wire wrong. So I can help you there.

Very Nice. I have been looking into getting one esp with gps/nav feature. I think I decided to get one that has a pop up screen & install it in the climite control place so I would have better view of the Nav while driving. Just have to figure out how I'm going to do it. Searched but haven't found anyone that has relocated a stereo to that spot that could give pointers. May never happen but I'll think about it for a cpl months.

I was worried also about being able to see it. However the screen can be adjusted on the fly. The remote or a button on the front can change the angle of the screen. It is really easy to see. In the bright sun when my top is off it can get a little hard to see but the nav unit is suposed to talk to you so once you have it programed you should not have to look at it that much. i will take some good pics with the angles of the screen.

Here are some pics and a video of how it opens. The face is adjustable in the full range from full open to full close.

The video is here
Sorry had to delete the video..

Pics attached, The camera really pics up the dust. and the flash washes out the screen.

That's a pretty snug looking fit it makes when in display mode. The glare is a bitch though from the light on the camera, how is it in person?

It look great. you dont want the sun to hit it directly. But 99% of the time its great. and at night its even better.. and there is a quick screen off button you can hit if the cops are close by..

I can't tell from the pics if your car is auto or not. Are you 5 speed? Does the screen get in the way of the shifter when it extends? I would assume this might happen when you're in 1st, 3rd, or 5th.

I hope it works out for you. Jensen was the cheapest and least reliable brand out of all the brands carried at the car stereo shop where I worked for 5 years.

Nice!

 

[JMDigital]

Its 5 speed. The shifter does not get in the way at all.

Yes the Jensen was only 640.00 so it is the cheaper way to go. So far its working great. Its been in there for a while now and I have not had any problems.

I was just going to say something to the effect of "Looks nice, too bad it's a Jensen."
Let us know how things pan out for you, JMD. It's a very nice looking setup.
