Jensen MPR210 Single DIN Bluetooth Car Stereo, Hands-Free, AM/FM, USB

First off I wanna say I’m an audio person. I love music I love sound. I was very skeptical about this Radio for the price, but I figured it was worth a shot instead of spending two to $300 and I don’t need a CD player, very simple to hook up. I have it in a two door Silverado with two 6 x 9 behind the seat and two door speakers, I’m sure we all know there’s not 200 W to this, but I will say overall the sound is amazing. Definitely more than loud enough and has more than enough base,. Now I will say that the Bluetooth so far has been flawless, so far after over a week of use, I have to give this five stars.

I bought this stereo the first time from amazon warehouse for $15 because I needed a cheap stereo to install quickly in my jeep before an upcoming trip when my stereo died. It was going to be temporary until I could find something better. But I installed it, and I was really happy with it. Now I bought another jeep, and even though I willing to spend "good money", honestly I was happy with this stereo, and bought another one because I liked it.Good:* The phone bluetooth works "seamlessly". If I'm connected to bluetooth, it interrupts my music correctly when I get a phone call, or need to use voice dictation. - This is really important to me. Even the stereo in my brand new $100k diesel truck doesn't do this correctly - leading to missed calls.* the built in speakerphone for phonecalls, is decent. Not awesome. But the call quality on the other end of the phone meets or exceeds the quality you'd expect from someone talking to you on speakerphone from a 25 year old jeep.* It remembers the last type of media you were playing, and continues playing it. It starts from the track you were on.* The physical buttons are easy to use. I hate touch screens.* I'm not an audiophile, but I like loud music, and this drives 4x 5.25's just fine without an additional amp.The bad:* The only downside is that I listen to MP3's on a USB stick regularly - and as mentioned it remembers that and starts playing them where I left off - however, I almost always use "random shuffle" mode, and it doesn't remember that. So it just starts from that track and continues playing in order from that point. Not the end of the world of course.So yeah, for the price, you can't beat this thing, and even while building my new stereo I just didn't want to deal with the potential unknown annoyances of a new deck, so I just stuck with this one that has been serving me well for a couple years now.

Updating my original review. I thought the rear speakers weren't working, but it turns out the stock door speakers were rotted, and the connector inside the door that the speaker wires go through was severely corroded. Some contact cleaner and new door speakers and I had all four channels working.Installation was a breeze and it sounds good. Linked up to my phone no problem. FM radio reception is great, I can pick up stations my home stereo can't dream of getting. There are two small problems: The aux input is not sufficiently isolated, meaning if you plug your device into the cigarette lighter port for power, it will pick up a high pitched whine, especially noticeable at high volume. I had to buy a $10 ground loop filter to make this noise go away. The other thing is, there is no dimmer on this head unit. My last head unit (and the stock one) had a wire that allowed the display to dim, controlled by the dashboard dimmer knob. No such wire on this one, and also no ability to dim the display manually. This means it's bright and distracting at night. Not a deal killer, but together these knocked a star off the review.

I just received my Jensen a.m. FM Bluetooth radio which replaces one that I had previously that finally gave out. This is in my 2005 Toyota Corolla. Very basic wiring install very small unit without the CD. I was surprised how short it was in the back. But everything worked great took me less than 20 minutes to take it out and put in the new one. Functionality no problems at all more presets on AM FM that I would ever use. Bluetooth functionality works great and answering the phone and speaker coming through from my phone. No problems with connectivity. Microphone seems to work well for Bluetooth. Definitely a great buy for the price.

Easy to install. Works great with the vehicle turned off. However, with the car running, it alternates between popping, static, monotone whine, an inconsistent connection. Does this in all modes, AM, FM, BT, AUX in, and with different speakers. Prior stereo did not have this problem, but I wanted to replace it with a head unit with BT function.Adding a ground loop isolator and inline noise suppressor did not improve the situation. All ground and power connections are soldered and solid. It's just a cheap head unit. BTW, it is sold under the JENSEN brand, but it is also sold at Walmart under the "DUAL" brand. May have worked for some, but not for me. I'll try to return it, but it's so cheap I could easily just throw it away and lose no sleep. It was a $36 gamble. The Blaupunkt speakers that I ordered with it are great though.

I wanted a radio that would provide streaming radio capability in my old truck. This radio is incredibly small and light. Easy to wire and the wiring diagram was easy to understand. Installation was a little challenging because the DIN mounting bracket was designed for the radio to slide all the way in. My Ford truck had a plastic trim that was designed to fit between the radio faceplate and the DIN mounting bracket which prevented the radio from snapping-in to the bracket. This radio does not have a removable trim ring around the front face (what you see in the Amazon ad is the way the radio slides-in. The size and weight of this radio is impressive, no rear mounting support bracket is required (even though Jensen did provide a screw hole in the rear heat sink).The audio power (volume) is adequate, not quite as loud as my other radios (also rated 200W), but close. The tone controls do not provide any graphic equalizer, only BASS, TREBLE and Loudness, but the radio does produce a decent sound for an inexpensive radio. The Bluetooth paired easily but I had to turn the volume in my iPhone to max to get decent volume on the radio. The controls feel quality and have detent click (even the volume knob).Jensen paperwork says the warranty is 1-year (2-year if you register on-line). Amazon says the warranty is 2-year (3-year if you register on-line). I saved the Amazon ad with my warranty paperwork. On-line registration was easy and not very invasive (personal information). I do recommend you take a picture of the radio serial number before you install it (handy for on-line registration).

Overall, I give it a 5. Is it really a 5? Probably not. But, I gave it that rating, because it is a cheap audio head unit, so expectations isn't high to begin with. So, for what it is, yeah, it's a 5 for me. It was a breeze to install, and very straight forward. I was shocked at how thin, and light this thing was. It is only about an inch deep, but then again, no CD or tape mechanics in it, kind of makes sense. I like the features it has, and again, it's only a $30 unit, so, .... I drive a classic ex-Military 4x4 Dodge Power Wagon. It is cammed, and dual exhausted with flowmasters, so, it's loud. I am not sure if I will be able to hear this thing as I roar down the road, or trail. But. again, for what it is, sounds pretty decent. I might have to add some power and better speakers to it at some point to hear it over the roar of my truck. But, happy with the purchase at this point. As with everything these days, it is how long it will last is the main question. We will see.. But for cheap audio for non-audiophile types, this is a pretty good option.Update: Ok.. I initially gave this unit a 5, because I liked the size and ease of it. However I changed it to a 2. When I first installed it, it worked great. But within a week of being installed, the display went out. It still worked, but I could not change any of the settings, because the display could not be seen to navigate around. It still played my MP3's though, so I tolerated it as I moved onto other things in my old truck. It at least gave me tunes while I worked on the truck. I recently put my truck on the road, and the old truck runs and drives great. However, almost immediately, I noticed this radio started cutting in and out. It's not a station thing, because I don't use the radio part of it. I solely use it to play my music collection on MP3. Every bump, the sound would cut out, then back on. I am a retired electrician (aircraft) by trade, and was meticulous on the electrical connections, so I doubted it was due to poor wiring. I gave it the benefit of the doubt though, and went in to check my wiring, and connections. And yep, aircraft quality work, and everything was tight, and good connections, so it much be internal of the head unit. So, on the road, this unit is useless. Any changing of settings, useless and can not do blind with the panel not working at all. I can only use it to listen to my MP3s while sitting still, or working in the truck. I will be replacing this thing soon. I'm just glad it wasn't very expensive. So, now this unit is a "Nope!"Update again: Well, weird, but my display started working again. BUT, NOW no sound at all. All connections are still fine as I looked. But, now no sound at all. So, this unit is going to be removed and thrown as far as I can throw it. I bought it because it carried the Jensen name, which I always had faith in. But, that is quickly changing. Sure, I know it's a cheap unit, but at any price, it should work. At least for a year or so. I got about a months use out of this crap. Downgraded from 4 star, to 3 star, now to a 1 star for me.

Works great for the price

I purchased this little Jensen to replace the factory head unit in a friends 2006 Hyundai Tuscon. Made up a quick harness/adaptor before install day and after removing the old unit it literally took a couple of minutes and the job was complete! Fits perfectly, works perfectly and sounds incredible... however you need to be careful when testing as it's far more powerful than the factory head unit and I accidentally blew the front drivers side speaker in the process, whoops :) All good though as even a couple of inexpensive replacements will round the whole upgrade off nicely.

ستريو ممتاز بالنسبه لسعره.. التركيب كان متعب شويه حتي بالنسبه لفني تركيبات محترف.. لكن الجهاز ممتاز.. الصوت جيد جدا.. التكامل مع الجوال نحفه.. اعجبني خاصيه تشغيل مساعد جوجل بضغطه زر..انصح به وبشده

I bought this to replace the deck in my camping trailer. I had to make a cover for the huge hole in the cabinet that the original deck had, but other than that installation was straightforward as far as decks go. I wasn't looking for great sound, it's just for some music while camping, but it's clear and not tinny. It has USB, which is what we wanted, much more useful than CDs now a days. The operation is simple, didn't need to look at the manual. Never used or needed the Bluetooth, I guess I could make and take calls hands free while in my trailer. There is an app you can download to control the deck, my Android phone works perfectly with it. No setup required, just open the app and do what you want. You can control everything with the app, even turn it off or on from outside the trailer. I consider this and excellent value for my needs.

Worked ok for 6 months but now power cuts in and out, audio randomly drops out. Appears to be due to harness connector on back of unit. Maybe dry or bad solder to board...

The device itself works great and does what is expected of it. You can easily set presets for FM/AM Radio, do hands-free-calling, and pair easily through Bluetooth to your phone even without the recommended software.I bought this for my 1998 Toyota Tercel it does come with the adapter which I think was in standard format and I had to splice the wires from the OEM format of my car which I didn't really know was going to be necessary but it also wasn't that hard to do. I just had to look up a wiring guide for my car and figure out what colour cable was for what then attach it to the same-purposed cable on the adapter (see photos). This may be different for your vehicle!I bought this not knowing exactly how to install it, but I learned a bit about wiring my system, and now my old 98' Tercel has a small splash of modern technology in it.
