Hi! I just did the same thing in my tt. I went with the Jensen jwm6a. Cheapest place I found it was Amazon.

It supports hdmi but no blu ray. I had to widen the hole a little for it to fit, but I couldn't be happier.

Good luck!

Was the jwm6a "plug and play"?

No. I had to hard wire it. But it was very easy.

That concertone is wired pretty much the same way. The harness you mentioned works with a specific jensen model and the one i mentioned earlier, is not one of them iirc. BUT......it doesn't really matter. The wiring is very basic. If you would like me to type step, by step instructions on the wiring, please let me know. I will be happy to help.

To summarize though....

There is a wiring diagram on the back go the concertone, and on the back of the jensen. The speaker wires do not necessarily match the harness they're connected to, so, by following both diagrams, you can establish which speaker is which and connect the new harness accordingly. I know, it may sound complicated, but its really not.

Vic, I haven't seen this one by elite before, how long have you had it? Any problems?

Genyoung....one came standard in my 2015 Rockwood. Seems to work well.

I am going with a standard 12v car type with Bluetooth and then using a Samsung sound bar for the TV. Adding a amp and kicker waterproof speakers. A work in progress...will post pics when done. Still doing a little research though.

Concertone is out of business. There are still some available in the upgraded model from a distributer if you search the web, but if you have an older one the wiring conversion kit which is recommended to do the upgrade can't be found. Search this forum because I vaguely remember seeing a response to a similar query re: Concertone that another manufacturer makes one that fits the Concertone cut out. Sorry, I don't remember the brand who where it was available.

I could be wrong but don't think any of the all-in-ones play blu-ray at this time. That's why I use my laptop that does to feed the unit.

Looks exactly like my Genesis 3.0, exactly except for the name.

Wow good find! Exactly like my Concertone Genesis 3.0 like said. Ours works great and love the Bluetooth function for my music like Pandora. Normally they're priced 450-600 from what I've seen. I almost want to buy one just incase something happens.
Thanks for posting BigVic.

Get yourself something like this, it plays dvds, netflix, radio, mp3s, youtube etc...it plays everything ..you name it. They are about 120$ us on ebay. You can also run wires to hookup to your tv and play movies there. Has input for usb sticks and sd cards. Its basically an android tablet with radio and an amplifier. I have had one for about 4 years.
