Install, DVD/TV/CD??

Post by tiger-bailey »

I ordered a Jensen VM9510, and I have a couple of questions:1. Where do you put the TV antenna?2. Does the factory Moon and Tunes affect the install?It is a 2003 and I already picked up the Metra attachments for the system.Thanks.

I know I won't be much help, because mine didn't have a moons & tunes, but do a little searching here because there's something to do with the external amplifier, and wiring it up. Anyone else want to help out???I had put a seperate DVD/VCD/MP3/TV tuner under the passanger seat, and ran a seperate monitor on the dash. I bought one of these antennas for the tv tuner: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&rd=1 but the reception wasn't very good at all. I don't know if the Jensen uses the radio antenna or a seperate antenna for the tv tuner though. I tried putting my antenna on the rear side window, under the small forward lid in the rear floor, etc, and it never seemed to work real well. A couple UHF stations came in, but that was about it.One thing you may need to do is wire the stock antenna amplifier back up with power when putting in an aftermarket stereo because the stock radio has a 12v output for the antenna amp. see: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5952Here's what my setup looked like: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=932Good luck, and enjoy it.

M&Ts will affect the install due to the following:- The M&T amp is designed to use the speaker outputs on the stock Head unit as inputs, and not line-level inputs as most amps due. Thus, you'll need to make sure you hook up speaker outputs from the aftermarket unit, not line-level.- The M&T speakers are 2 Ohm, not standard 4 Ohm. If you choose not to use the M&T amp, you'll need all new speakers.

The Jensen uses a window-mount antenna that you can run to the top of the windshield and have go across that. Very easy to install. The tuner module itself can go into the dash.
