hey guys one of my friends has a jensen head unit that has a flip out screen and it seems to be nice lcd, touch screen dvd all the good stuff, i was wondering if anyone has used these they seem to be ok because they are pretty cheap, you can get a 7 in display and all the goodies for less than 250

I can tell you in a couple weeks. I just picked up a Jensen unit for like $180. I figured it was worth a chance. Jensen is good for a low cost brand. One thing I noticed is that cheaper units are low in the number of features so make sure it has the features you want. With this unit I am getting everything I want and not paying for a bunch of features I will never use.

ok thanks for the info, where did you pick yours up by chance??

I got it on E-bay. This was the cheapest seller for this unit. Here is a link:

Jensen makes pretty good quality screens. I have seen them in all kinds of cars even some higher end stuff like Mercedes and others.

I personally wouldnt go with jensen nor would I get a flip out unless there are no other options. I have a Pioneer Premier AVIC 90BT in dash double din DVD/Nav/CD/Ipod/etc and it was I think $550. Yes its more expensive, but having the motorized screen worries me. Just seems like something that could get bumped or just fail.

ok im kinda looking into a pioneer unit now, i found some on ebay, would yall conisder a refurbished unit, i mean its good right been to the factory and fixed, just like a used one with a good warranty right?

so is anyone running a pioneer AVH-P4100DVD, and it says double din, so any double din will fit my 05 f150 correct?

That unit is beautiful looking, I just googled it. A double din will fit in an 05 F150, you just need the right installation kit. I have a Pioneer in my mustang and like it.

You need something similar to his, you can also buy them local, crutchfield, or wherever.

As far as being a refub, if it carries the standard manufacturers warranty and is an approved retailer I would not hesitate to buy it.
