Jensen CAR723W Digital multimedia receiver (does not play discs)

Product details

Wired is good, wireless is better

Once you've experienced the convenience of touchscreen icons controlling your music, podcasts, texts, apps, and more with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, what could be better? Jensen's CAR723W digital multimedia receiver supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, so now you don't even have to plug your phone in to experience it. Start the car and your phone connects automatically.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

CarPlay integrates your iPhone into the driving experience with a seamless interface, allowing you to access iPhone content with the sound of your voice. That means easy access to your music library, audiobooks, phone, messages, navigation, and many third-party streaming music apps, too. Learn more at www.apple.com/ios/carplay.

If you're an Android user, this receiver is ready for your phone, too. Android Auto integrates your Android device into the driving experience without distracting you from the job at hand — driving. You'll have easy voice access to Google Maps, weather, music, and apps, not to mention your text messages. And you can make calls, too, of course. Get more info at www.android.com/auto.

The rest of the picture

The CAR723W has plenty of other attractive features. The 7" capacitive touchscreen offers easy control, and a front-panel button gives you instant access to voice assistance. Bluetooth lets you enjoy wireless streaming for your favorite stored music, music services, podcasts, and audiobooks. Of course, you'll be able to take and make calls too while keeping your hands on the wheel — an awesome safety feature that also keeps you from getting an expensive ticket in most states. With a compatible adapter module (sold separately) you'll retain your steering wheel audio controls, too.

Add an amp, add a camera

The 7" capacitive touchscreen display can serve as a monitor for a connected backup camera (sold separately) making it easy to back into those tight parking spots. The CAR723W's two camera inputs allow you to add front and rear cameras for maximum safety and coverage. A pair of rear USB ports let you connect and charge a smartphone or play media from thumb drives. The three sets of preamp outputs provide for amplifiers powering your speakers and subs, and the 10-band equalizer with 7 presets gives you nice options for tweaking the sound in your vehicle.
