Default In Dash Video???'s

What is a good in dash video/cd player that will work along with the mach 460 system? I am wanting to keep under 600-700(preferably around 500 if possible).

I don't know of many jensens that have a good review after 8 or 9 months unless something has changed. A car is a horrible place to put electronics, dirt, dust, moisture, vibrations and extreme temp changes are alot for any piece of electronics to put up with. When you buy cheap car audio, you buy twice. I would really recommend saving that $225 for a little while to get something that will last you a little longer.

I thought the same thing too, but then it is walmart. So if i save the box and receipt I can just return it when I have enough money to buy a better head unit. It has a 1 year warranty so as long as I bring it back by then Im good. Got to love walmart. Im normaly not the type to go cheap on anything for my car but my stock mach 460 cd player will not eject CDs anymore and I want to replace it with something that has a big display and isnt to expensive. Right now my extra money is tied up in trying to find a car for the winter so the mustang can stay in the garage.

ahhhh.... I can see the delema here........ I am not sure what I would choose either if I had to pick between a broken factory radio and a $225 walmart jensen.

Nah, now that I think about it I would go with the factory radio as the radio still works, and I am pretty sure installing a jensen will drop the resale of the vehicle a few percent shortly after you install it.

not with video and all the bells and whistle options you are looking for with that jensen. You can get a super solid cd deck for 2 bills, not sure if I would spend less then $350-400 for video....

I just put in a Pioneer HU, my brother and 2 friends have the same HU and have never had a problem with it.

As for a video player, I would recommend either This HU, or if you want a screen that flips out This HU
