Jenson Stereo

I cuuently have the Jenson Stereo unit in my 2014 RB and I hate it. Anyone found a replacement that will work with the cameras?

What is it that you don't like? The button layout or the sound?

I picked up my new to me 2014 Berkshire 390-BH this past weekend in WA and drove it back to Phoenix (3 days). During the trip, the number one thing that drove me crazy was the radio and its' tuning system. It's supposed to be a touch screen where a light touch should suffice. Well, my finger is still sore from trying to tune the radio. The camera's work great. I am contemplating sending the radio back to Jensen for evaluation, Anyone else sharing this issue?

We use satellite radio in our Berkshire. Got tired of always searching for stations.

I have a touch screen audio/control system in my Ram Laramie. I have found that when the skin on my fingers is very dry, the touch screen sometimes has trouble reacting to a touch. It seems to do fine during more humid weather. I've always wondered if the moisture in your skin, or lack there of, has something to do with the lack of sensitivity being experienced by the touch screen.

Had Sirius XM for a while but got tired of paying the monthly fee for only a few weeks use a year. Now I plug my IPOD into the aux port on the front of the radio. Works great and I can listen to what I want to hear.

Along the same theory, on our last trip my fingernails were getting a little bit long and I found that pointing my finger nail at the Button worked much better than my finger.

We have the Jenson unit as well. It is irritating to adjust stations etc. but not to the extent of messing with my cameras that work flawlessly. IMHO

I hate my Jensen. Every time I start the coach, it comes to life with the sound turned up on a bunch of static. I can turn it all the way down and then power if off.

Next time I start the coach, blaring static. Piece of crap IMHO.

Boowho??

Raydioo (Jenson)

I love my touch screen Jensen Radio. Had the old one that flipped up out of the radio. Have an old 2010 BH 39'9 Berkshire. But I upgraded to the new one and love it.
