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 There's very little documentation and it appears to be out of date.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.

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.

Used to work, not anymore. While the app will connect to my JWM6A radio, it doesn't allow you to control anything like it used to. My phone is a Galaxy S20FE. The Bluetooth doesn't seem to be the problem as I can play audio through the Bluetooth connection, and that's with the app uninstalled. So the app is unfortunately useless even though the app info says it's completely compatible with my phone. I'd be willing to work with the developers to help fix the issues rather than give up.
