Recommendations for Replacing Jensen AWM960 Radio Needed

Crutchfield.com lists dozens of double din head units that will fit in the hole.

x2 on Crutchfield. We got a Pioneer unit MVH-X560BT, has Blue Tooth. When we purchased, it came with the wiring adapter, adapter to go from the Double size to single with storage compartment. Has a remote as well. Very easy to install, works great.

Crutchfield has a very large selection, in all sizes, features and price ranges.

I have the Jensen that came out of my 2015 coachman that would work for you.

We had a Magnadyne in the Southwind we just traded in. We hated that radio.

Jensen is very low-end and overpriced. You can get decent major brand for the same or less money.

I love Crutchfield myself, but that hole is much bigger than double-DIN size. There are tons of quality options if you browse the Crutchfield site, but whatever you choose be prepared to fabricate some kind of a mounting plate top cover the old hole.

Also agree that the Jensen is not the best quality, but I found that replacing the factory speakers with good quality Infinity 5 1/4" coaxials make a hug difference, and the powered sub that the factory added also helps the sound a lot.

In our old Sunnybrook, the stereo was absolute junk, and I replaced it with a single-DIN unit and converted the old mounting location into a CD storage rack. Hard to see in the picture, but there is a 1/4" lip on the lower edge of the opening that keeps the CDs from sliding out. Just lift the CD over the lip to remove.

The wires above are for the Roady XM receiver.



I also added the 12v outlet and shelf above the door to have a safe place to charge my cell phone.

You can buy any size of car head unit and buy the accessory fascia plates or trim rings to make it a good looking installation. I don't own one but the Jensen looks like a 2.5 DIN unit.

Only issue with car stereos is you need to provide a speaker switching box if you want sound in 3 areas. If you play the outside speakers at all then that would be an issue without a switching box. And you can't play DVDs as well. You would need to add a DVD player.

On our last TT the el cheapo Touch Audio stereo went out. I just bought a cheap Sony car stereo. I fab'd a wood plate to fill the hole. Cut out the opening in it for the Sony. Worked great. No outside speakers though. And we did add a DVD player plus a small 3 speaker PC sound system. Worked well for the few times we watch movies.



Totally agree on Jensen being junk. While OEM auto radios aren't always the best they at least usually last a long time.

I see that Outdoor RV puts a Pioneer unit in their trailers. Might be worth a call if you want to maintain the RV speaker setup.

I'm just now installing a Pioneer double din 2700BT unit in place of the lousy Jensen that came with my Jayco. It's an easy mod. I bought the Pioneer from Best Buy....I like the 30 day return policy. Four screws to get the Jensen out. Unplug antenna, audio cables, etc. I marked the in and out cables left in the cabinet. Unclip the speaker harness. Now match up the pioneer wires to match the Jensen setup. I used butt connectors. All matched in colour. Plug in antenna, USB cable, audio/video cables, wiring harness......all should work. No outside speakers and no DVD image on the Pioneer screen....does play on the TV. I got a piece of matching wood to make a new face plate and ordered a trim ring for the head unit. When done, will look near factory.

Here's a video to get you started....he's got a few good tips there....I expanded on his mounting method a bit...PM me if you have questions.
