I agree with above, Jenson sucks. The kid on my floor has one and constantly complains how it scratches his CD'* and skips and ****.

you can get a decent JVC for 100 bucks that will work great. (I put one in my mom'* grand am and it works awsome. (for 100 bucks, but much better than stock))

That'* an excellent unit and will serve you well, and it'* only what 25 more than you were looking at the Jensen for. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the heads.. I wrote down the model on that pioneer. Going to go with one of those.
