More specifically.....Clarion VZ409 or Jensen VM9312 or 9412??

I mean for a lower end DVD/etc....which do you prefer??

Reading around, both seem to have the good, bad & ugly side but both seem to be good units overall. Like the Clarion not having a display when closed, Jensen does.....Clarion has a small volume knob and no adjustment on the touch screen & Jensen does....etc....but it seems Clarion is getting better/cleaner/brighter screen display reviews.

Any pros/cons to either unit or problems anyone has seen here?

I will be adding a reverse cam to it also.....

Thanks guys & gals for any input.

Best Quality? Clarion. Not to say Jensen is not good quality, just seems to be a sort of "hit and miss" type thing. You may get lucky with a good one, and then again, you may not. Clarion I think you have a better chance at getting something that works well, and lasts long.

Get the Clarion I sell both and although the Jensen has more features their failure rate is a lot higher.

Uh, can get a pioneer avh-p3100 dvd for some pretty good prices these days. Might be worth a look compared to your other choices.

save your money up a little longer and get a better touch screen setup those are both p.o.s. in my opinion
