    Replacement of Jensen Stereo

    We have a Jensen stereo in our 22mle. Is there a decent replacement to the Jensen stereo? No HDMI out, sound is not great, etc.

    Thanks.

    There is not much to choose from unless you want to do a upgrade to a car stereo. Then it is difficult finding a size match or a car stereo that plays DVDs. Crutchfield may give you some ideas. It is definitely a weak fidelity system.

    Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    I don't know if you have room in your Imagine or want to go to this much trouble, but many of us have foregone the OEM system altogether. In our case, I installed a Polk Audio sound bar (with sub) and a compact DVD/Blu-ray player. The advantage is that the TV connects to the sound bar via digital optical so that you get good sound no matter what the program source (OTA, DVD/Blu-ray/satellite TV, etc.). This also eliminates the not-so-good OEM speakers, too.

    First off, looks like you're new here, so welcome to the forum. Yes, the OEM sound setup is not ideal. While we have the iRV6 stereo, I'm guessing it isn't much different from the Jenson. What I've done is to upgrade the speakers and add a sub-woofer (see here). That has dramatically improved the sound. It doesn't address the no HDMI out, it seems like the only reason you'd want that is HD video (BluRay etc). As Rob suggested, a compact BluRay player would answer that.

    I'm seeing that it has no remote but has an Android App for Bluetooth control. With 50w of power and rear HDMI

    The app would be the remote control. I like it.
