Thoughts on Jensen CAR910W
I have an older Kenwood unit with wired Apple CarPlay, that I want to replace.
I’m looking at the Jensen Car910W which has a 9” screen and wireless CarPlay, and at $549.99 the price point is pretty good. Any one use this? I know I could go with an Alpine, Kenwood, or Sony - but similar 9” floating units are twice the price.

If you want to make your Kenwood where it has wireless CarPlay, see this thread https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-carplay.html I've seen where others have installed the 9" units, but they just look out of place in my opinion.

Here's a thread where someone installed a Pioneer 9" to give you an idea. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ng-screen.html
Any feedback on a 9” hu is appreciated!

Your call, but IMO Jensen is the lowest of the low end products. My daughter had a Jensen and to call it pathetic was generous. Yes it is inexpensive but man it was pretty bad. It barely received FM station that were fairly strong.
Personally I would keep looking unless reading the screen is your only requirement.

Jenson is crap, I suggest sticking with one of the major manufacturers such as Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood or Sony, sure you'll spend more money, but you'll be much better off in the long run.
