Jensen Touchscreen?
Jensen Touchscreen? I'm thinking about putting one of these in my cars. Do you think it will look good in a trans am ws6? Also, I will be hooking up my ps2 in the back with my system and getting wireless controllers for the 7" monitor up front. Anyone know any other screens that are around that price? Also, how hard will it be to put this screen in with its deck? let me know. thanks

It will LOok good yes.. Flip out or INdash?? Our space is only for 1.5 DIN not a Double. so you may need so Modification if you are going indash .Also you never Gave a Price on your Jensen 
do you have a stock deck? when i purchased my camaro it had stereo mounting kit already installed and the pioneer touch screen i bought fit without a problem. I seen quite a few jensons and they look pretty good i was impressed, But for a hundred dollars more you can get a Pioneer AVH-P4900DVD, Panasonic CQVD7003U, Sony XAV-C1....
Yea Jensen's are crap. I was at the local audioshop and this guy was shopping for a new touchscreen because his Jensen broke down within 2 months of purchasing he said. Hence the phrase: "You get what you pay for"

I've had an in-dash motorized Jensen for two years with absolutely NO problems (TV Tuner/DVD/CD/ everything works great)... Not the first Jensen I've had either.
They are cheap in price and I get them even cheaper from a factory warehouse...
They DO NOT BREAK any quicker than any other unit and, like any other unit, usually only break quick when you have a moron operating it...
NOW, I will say this... They are not high-end sound QUALITY units... MAYBE if you had amps and other cross-overs/components you could make the best out of it but installation of the head unit alone will not give you that, "Oh my God, this sounds f@cking SWEET!" feeling that some higher end units will give you...

I think Jensens are hit and miss honestly. Some people have storys like Demonbird who have had good luck and their jensens last a long time... but many people also have Jensens that break quickly and frequently... and not everyone with a broken Jensen is incapable of using a stereo... I've seen Jensens break at least 2 to 1 compared to Kenwoods or Alpines...

Working at circuit city for awhile I saw alot of Jensen car audio products come back. They are cheap but like the above post says and with all electronics, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for decent car audio product you should check retail spots for open box product or perhaps ebay - something like Panasonic, Pioneer, Eclipse, but personally I would not settle for Jensen.

At least it isn't as bad as my friend who paid for a girl and got a guy
Sadly, that is NOT a joke
Yes, you get what you pay for. Although, there is something called a "deal" that factors in. Lets say: You buy a 24 pack bundle of tube socks for 1.99. Most likely, they would be crap. But lets say your friend is selling a pack of 36 tube socks for the same price and the name brand is Tommy Hilfiger. The only reason he is selling it is because the socks are too big/small. That is what I would call a "deal".
SSbeast, it sounds like you fell victim to what I call a "deal".
