Ratings and reviews

Once paired it works with my JWM70A; but I have to delete the old connection and re-pair it every time I want to connect. Not very useful as a remote when you have to get up and push buttons on the base station whenever you want to use it. Only one device can be connected at a time; so my wife and I can't both control settings. The interface is less than intuitive. (On further inspection, all the buttons are relavant.) There's very little documentation and it appears to be out of date. I'm going back to the perfectly serviceable remote. Pixel 3XL and Pixel 2. 9/3/2018 - Still practically useless. Still have to re-pair my device every time I want to connect. I think I'll replace the Jensen with a chromebox -- so I can use Android apps and download media for offline use.

I'll join the chorus. It initially worked okay although the Bluetooth setup is rather cryptic. At some point round 2020 the Bluetooth control became erratic. Sometimes the first couple of commands would work, then device control would freeze. I was recently streaming media via Bluetooth and the control froze, but the media kept playing. I'm guessing there was an Android update and the app needs updating to fix this. I'm unhappy because I used to be able to sit outside my RV and adjust it.

As others have said, you need to constantly forget, delete, and re-pair the Bluetooth became the app said it won't connect. Even while playing Bluetooth audio from your phone... -_- The app has promise if the connection issue can be fixed. Please fix it. These stereos are included equipment on campers and the app is an advertised feature. The least you can do as a companies make sure it works.
