I bought this high capacity battery for my recently flashed (and battery sucking) Sprint Mogul. The standard battery is 1100 mA. This battery would have given me 50% more battery time. The battery I received had electrical contacts on the side. The Mogul requires contacts on the top. There's no modification that will fix that. It dropped right into my wifes T-Mobil Wing but the slide-on door wouldn't quite slide on. I was able to shave the inside of the door with a razor blade and get it closed. The moral of the story: I will be ordering the Seido because I don't want the extended back.

The maps on this unit are from 2004 and 2005. There is no update available for them. Consequently the GPS is constantly showing your position in the middle of a farm field or telling you to drive off a cliff. The Canadian maps are all off by at least 1000 yards, so even when you're on an existing road it doesn't know where you are. The manufacturer has been promising an update since 2007 and it has not and most likely will not ever show up. So unless you have money you want to throw away, don't even think about buying this item. 0 stars!

It worked one month then started having problems would not let me put addresses in it without crashing and restarting itself.. Do yourself a favor do not buy this.

I've long been a big fan of Garmin GPS systems. I've sold a lot of them in the past, and never had one come back because a customer didn't like it or because it didn't work. I consider them one of the finest GPS makers in the world, and highly recommend their products to anyone that is looking. But when it came to looking for a unit for personal use, I ignored my own advice. I was shopping based on price, which is normally not a great idea since I firmly believe in the "get what you pay for" mentality. But during my search, I came across this unit for just $99.99 (even cheaper here on Amazon!). That's an absurdly low price for a portable GPS, so I started reading. This Jensen is a no-name brand, no frills GPS unit. It does not have Blue teeth, it does not announce street names, it does not have a picture viewer, and it does not (so far as I can tell) have MP3 capability (although it does have an SD card and a headphone jack, so maybe I'm just missing something. In any event, those features are just fluff: the important thing is the GPS. What the Jensen does do is offer everything you expect of a portable GPS. Voice commands (without street names, though), various routing options (avoid highways, avoid toll roads, etc.), automatic route recalculation, etc. One thing I do like that I have not seen elsewhere is the option to turn recalculation off: when I first got it, it was set to ask what to do when I went off route: recalculate, delete route, etc. This is a nice option, since other units I've used chime incessantly informing you you're off route. I like being able to pull off and make a stop without having to fight with the GPS. The GPS also has a night mode, with more subdued colours, so as not to distract the driver. You can even set this to come on automatically based on GPS position and sunrise/sunset times. Very slick (in theory - I haven't yet tested it). It does all the same tricks as any other unit I've tried: typing in my street name, for example, it came up automatically as soon as I'd entered the first two letters. It also has an option to warn you if you are speeding, assuming the speed limit data is programmed for the map... You can even set the percentage over the limit you want before it warns you. I haven't tested this feature yet, but it sounds like a neat trick. It comes with full Canadian and US maps, including Hawaii and Porto Rico, a car charger (it also has an built-in battery), computer USB cable (something missing in some more expensive units!), dash mount, and windshield mount. It also includes a stylus, which is unnecessary but a nice touch nonetheless. All in all, I think at $99 it's a steal of a deal. I found one other GPS for less, a clearance item at Canadian Tire for $79 made by Magellen, but it didn't have US maps. If you've been considering a portable GPS but put off by the price, I think this is really worth your time to look at. The price and feature set cannot be beat, as long as you're okay with some of the fancy features like Bluetooth found on more expensive models.

I could not tell you if this product was any good because DCA online mall never delivered it. Dispite the e-mail I sent them a week ago, they have not replied.

The NVX200 is wonderful for the price. It's small enough to fit in convenient places without taking up too much space, the level of detail in the map is flexible...2D or 3D. The best attribute is the ability to charge it like you do a blackberry. You don't need a special power supply. So it's easily adaptable. The voice can be changed to male or female as well. You can connect it to your PC to save data or music for playback. The device software is upgradable, uses Microsoft CE operating system. I love it!

This product is pretty cheap but seems to be working ok. The fit wasn't totally right for my iphone but I managed to squeeze it on. And I dropped it once and the case fell apart but didn't break so I was able to put it back on but it seemed to defeat the purpose of protecting the phone in case you accidentally drop it. All in all, you really do get what you pay for. Not sure if I would ever buy this product again.

I basically needed a cover for my iPhone and it did the job. It comes off quickly when i drop it and there is no cover for the actual screen but besides that it is just fine.

I am relatively certain this case was made using only the cheapest of materials available. It also appears to have been constructed by a three year old Chinese kid who is chained to a table for 18 hours per day. Don't waste your money. This case broke the second day!

The item clearly says that this is for the IPHONE. Of course it won't fit the iPod Touch!

This is not for the IPod Touch 2g. I just got this 5 minutes ago and I'm printing the label. I'll be sending it back tomorrow. This doesn't fit the IPOD touch 2g. The Ipod moves around inside the case. It's so unsafe and opens easily. Maybe the wrong item was sent. I don't know I'm returning it.

If you are looking for a basic rubber cover for your iPod this is nice.

Don't waste your money, the cover doesn't fit and it just is not a good buy. I guess you get what you paid for.

this seems to work and fit well, its a great deal for the money compared to the "big box" stores

Unless your taking sissors and scraping the thing, your iTouch is pretty safe with this cover!

I ordered this product. It took a long time to arrive but when I emailed the seller they refunded the entire amount. The product is fine but a little big for my iPod.

I have had this camera installed on my truck for approximately two weeks. Right out of the box, I discovered rust on the brand new license plate bracket - it appeared that the bracket was rusted before it was even painted. While I was not pleased to find this, I wanted to get my install underway. I sanded, primed, and painted the bracket and installed the camera the next day. Installation is fairly straightforward, but it took some time on my vehicle. Don't get too excited about the "anti-theft" mounting hardware. It is only two license plate mounting screws that require a standard Allen wrench. The camera is held to the bracket by two standard Phillips head screws, so this camera can be quickly removed if anyone takes an interest in it. The most difficult part of my installation was snaking the video cable forward from the rear bumper, through a frame rail, and into the cab through an existing grommet. This process, while frustrating, had nothing to do with the camera, and the included video cable was just long enough for my installation (2006 Nissan Titan King Cab). Longer trucks might need to extend the included cable or purchase a longer cable - it is just a standard RCA connector on both ends. I was not encouraged by reviews of the wireless cameras, so this still seems to be the better choice. Once installed, the picture is clear and responsive in all but pitch-black conditions. The camera does not have a "fish eye" effect, but the wide angle image makes it very difficult to determine if objects are directly in the path of the vehicle. You will see them though, so no worries about missing children, pets, or vehicles. The camera does struggle to produce a clear picture when only a portion of the image is bright - headlights and bright overhead lights in a parking garage have been the problem so far. The area surrounding the light source is washed out while the darker portions of the screen have little detail. Bright sunlight isn't an issue so far, at least when the lighting is consistent across the screen. After two weeks on the truck, other pieces of installation hardware have begun to rust. The screws and washers used to hold the camera to the bracket and the bracket to the bumper are not fairing well with limited exposure to road salt. So far the camera is fairing better, but time will tell. While the picture is about what I would expect for $60, the hardware is extremely disappointing. This might be a good choice if you live in an arid climate, but I would probably make a trip to the hardware store to upgrade the screws and washers before installation. Based on the initial quality of this camera, I will not purchase another Audiovox product.

Just put in a warranty ticket with Audiovox. After 4 months the lens has fogged up making the camera useless. I live in sunny Northern California (no snow or rain storms here) so durability is definitely is in question.

Great product! Recieved in three days. Easy to install and wire up and running in 20 minutes! Works perfectly with my Jensen VM9312HD. Camera is clear and a wide viewing angle, the color is a plus. Also very clear at night. Works great in the rain as well, no waterproof issues! Overall just a great product!Audiovox ACA200W Wired Back-Up Camera!

From the photos with the product, and the price of the product, I assumed there was a monitor included. I realize I should have investigated closer but I feel there was some misrepresentation. As for the product once I purchased a monitor it worked well

After reading numerous articles on fitting backup cameras to a Toyota Camry, I took a chance on this camera rather than the one recommended (at ~3 times the price!). I'm handy with a soldering iron, so thought I could modify as necessary. In short this camera works great. I took some screens and have posted them as customer images with notes. Although the camera is listed as requiring 12v, it works great on the 6v output from the Camry wiring harness. Before starting any work on the car I tested this with a 6V battery and plugged the camera output into a standard video-in socket on a TV. I also had a mandate to not drill any holes or cut/break into any wires, in order to maintain the full warranty on the car. I needed to buy three things, beside this camera, to do the installation. Firstly was 20' of 4-core cable to run from the camera to the dash, a female phono connection (I also didn't want to cut the wires on the backup camera), and a set of plastic trim removal tools (Actron CP5011 Panel, Trim and Molding Removal Set). I pulled out the indash unit, plugged into it using pins from an old PC CDROM audio cable (CD-ROM Audio Cable, Mpc2 To Mpc2, 18in) and soldered these wires to the 4 core cable. This cable was then "fished" followed the existing wiring loom following the drivers side and through an existing grommet into the trunk lid. From there it was necessary to solder this 4 core cable to the camera +/- wires and the female phone (for video signal) and then pass the cable through the driver's side license plate lamp seal. I decided to use the alternative mounting plate that came with the camera and mount this using shallow screws into my aluminum license plate holder - all told, zero wires cut & zero holes drilled into car. I was as happy as my wife is with the install. Definitely not as quick as a wireless camera, but you can't argue at the quality of the camera and the manner in which it integrates with the existing electronics. There are lots of instructions on the internet on how to do this if you have a Camry [...] Note, the camera they recommend is an Eclipse one (Eclipse BEC106 Back-Eye Vehicle Rear-View Camera) which is just slightly smaller, though over a hundred dollars more! Hope this helps, Mike

This little camcorder is good for convenience sake. It does the job, records the video and records the audio well enough - but you get what you pay for and if you want something for "important" things then spend the money and get a higher quality camcorder.

I'm a ten year old boy and I got this for Christmas. It can pause during videos which is nice. It can flip open so you can see yourself if recording yourself and it is easy to use. It just runs out of batteries somewhat quickly. It can even connect to most computers so you can save longer videos on the computer and E-mail them to friends. I would recommend buying this camera.

I received this pocket camcorder for Christmas 2009. I was able to take videos within 5 min of opening my present. The video's that I took are priceless. The resolution was great and the indoor shots were amazing since some were taken with low light. Trying to hook up the camera to Play Station 3 was disappointing since there was no sound, but great video. By the way, the camera's USB arm is somewhat flimsy. However with care it serves it purpose. I am able to stick this camcorder in my pocket. I did receive a carrying case that was just great.

Got this for Christmas last year so I could take pictures on my senior trip! Didn't take many pictures on the trip though because almost Every picture turned out blurry and the video is just as bad! Oh and one of the screws fell out the first day I had it! It is a pain to hook up to the computer only redeeming thing is that you don't need 50 cords for that! You can't choose anything to remove all the pictures and videos from the camera and if you have a lot there is no way to delete all from your camera unless you keep hitting delete and get lucky enough to get the delete all media, otherwise all needs to be deleted manually which is always a treat! It is cool if you wanna take a picture of yourself though because you can turn the screen so you can see yourself but otherwise its a hunk of junk!

Don't buy this camera unless you are a complete techie or want a bad headache!! The software DOES NOT WORK. I have a camera full of videos and no way to download them. Would have given it 0 stars if that was an option.

I just recieved this item and used it for about 4 hours before it overheated and stopped working. It cannot handle very much, so tread lightly.

I received the item very quickly as promised, no worries there. used the device for 1 week and 1 of the 2 sides stopped working. I did receive an email from the seller after advising my situation, I was impressed by the fast response. this may or may not have been a factory defect. Bottom line, is the unit broke, for whatever reason.

This dual charger is OK for the low amp charging jobs like GPS, Bluetooth and Cellphone auto charging. However, give it a bigger job like an 8 amp draw mini moto air pump (for pumping air into the tires) and it blew this 12 Volt Two Way DC Car Charger into a smelly mess (along with my cig lighter fuse). FYI-The Scosche 12 volt twin adapter is the same as this one.

This GPS was made in 2007 but does not allow many street numbers present for many years. It misidentifies roads and sometimes routes you incorrectly. It tells you to take nonexistent exits and turns. It has frequent software errors that require restarts only possible by cutting all power. Update 1/3/09 Audiovox (Jensen) responded to my complaint as follows: There are no map updates available yet and we do not have a precise release date at this time. The best thing to do would be to check the Audiovox web site from time to time for availability and cost. Audiovox is not responsible for the mapping software. You can report missing map information, incorrect routing and other mapping problems directly to the mapmaker online at: [...] So they intend to charge for updates if ever available-good to know when considering purchase.

I own this GPS. It does tell you what street you are turning onto, if you read the instructions and set it right. It is a bit bulky but for my non-tech savvy wife it is great. Youcan do almost everything withour the stylus expect type in the address. It is a bit dated on the streets but with all of the construction going on what model isn't. It is great for the price and if you don't mind the size.

Thumbs down all the way. I bought this and had to return it within a week. I have used many GPSs Different brands and models and this is the worst. It was constantly hanging, and I had to reset it everytime. RESET - not just power off-power on. Lost signals regularly. Once I was driving on a straight tree lined street (about 2 miles) and it kept recalculating the route every 50 yards or so... Bulky. Worth no Stars. Do not buy it.

The chip is way outdated and the GPS does not identify the street you are to turn on.

Pros: large hard drive, lots of POI's, colorful accurate maps. Cons: slow performance, poor FM transmitter quality, poor PC integration, poor route navigator calculator, infrequent lockups, MP3 playback kills performance even further. Summary: I previously had a Tomtom GO 300 which got stolen from my vehicle, so I replaced it with the Jensen because it was on sale. There are some advantages that the Jensen has over the Tomtom, such as its maps tend to be much more accurate and uptodate, with much more POI's. The Jensen comes with a huge 12GB hard drive rather than on a flash-based storage, though you can add SD flash to it through a slot; but this seems to be redundant, as the hard drive is more than big enough. The unit uses Windows CE 5.0 as its operating system, which might explain it poor performance. But despite this, there doesn't seem to be a way to upgrade the OS, and surprisingly there isn't very much PC integration available. With Tomtom, they gave you a CD with a PC app that was used to update and upgrade its GPS units. Nothing of the sort exists for Jensen, the CD comes with only documentation. Plugging the Jensen into a PC USB port just makes its internal hard drive show up, which you can then use to copy files from your PC hard drives to the Jensen hard drive. But there's no integration between them otherwise. The unit frequently comes up with poor choices of routes, despite having good quality accurate maps available. For example, even if you have set it up to use the fastest route, it usually ends up picking the shortest route instead, which isn't necessarily the fastest route. Also it picks up the satellites extremely slowly, it will sometimes not pick them up even after 10 minutes! And even when it has picked up the satellites, it's navigation speed is poor, it doesn't seem to keep up with the actual position of the vehicle very well. Don't bother using its built-in FM transmitter to tune your radio to it. The quality of the sound is terrible, lots of interference noise comes through all of the time. And don't bother using its MP3 playback either. Not only would you need to listen to the music through this crappy FM transmitter, playing MP3's also kills its performance while navigating. It really can't multitask very well. The unit seems to be packed with a lot of interesting features, at least on paper. But it hasn't been implemented well. A jack of all trades, a master of none.

Price paid $299 Instruction manual is below average. No telephone customer support, only email. GPS: Tracks position quickly. Accuracy of voice prompts is perfect. Road names only given for highways. Lets you know if exit ramp is on left or right side of highway. Can use shortest time or shortest distance. Somewhat tedious at times to use the menu for POI's. Route can also be made by tapping the desired location on the map. Overall decent functionality of GPS. A step below my prior GPS (Lowrance iWay 500c) in terms of ease of use and the appearance of the display. In fact, one of the weaknesses is the somewhat cheap appearance of the map display. XM: Uses the XM mini tuner which needs to be purchased separately for $30. Excellent display for the XM. 30 presets. No record feature. While a bit bulky to carry, there is a battery and I have used the NVXM1000 on the go as well. Not small enough to exercise with but good to bring to a ball game, etc. Requires an XM antenna connected to the back of the device. (I had an old 25 foot antenna that I delicately cut and spliced down to about 2 feet. This was a bit difficult - there is a small firm central wire, then a clear insulating layer, then wires, then the outer shell of the wire. I gingerly separated the central wire, removed its insulation and soldered the two central wires together. The outer wires were then soldered together.) The FM transmitter is a bit weak and uses channels in the 96.1 - 99.9 range. At least with my car stereo, the signal to noise ratio is less than optimal; so I have opted to use the earphone jack to connect to my tape deck. The NVXM1000 can also be directly connected to your car stereo. Easy connection if you have an audio input jack on your car stereo. Using headphones, the sound quality is good. There is an internal speaker which is functional (sound quality equivalent to a cheap transistor radio). No record feature. It does have a memory feature to notify you of songs or artists you like. MP3: Called Jensen for help for MP3 playback. All songs must be placed in a single folder. The MP3 playback features are minimal. Only options are random or alphabetical play. Photos: Like the mp3 feature, unable to get it to work. Overall, a decent value at $299.

Affordable GPS though being discontinued by the manfacture I recommend the product. I found it easy to use and well made

It was my first GPS device and simply love it. Unlike many more expensive models, that take a lot of time to learn to use, this could not be easier to learn to use. Garmin and other companies could learn something when it comes to ease of use from this device. could not be any easier to use. Only drawback is the data is a little dated, so new and rerouted roads do not show up. Also wish it had a remote, but for the price, you can't beat it.

I travel all the time and my Jensen travels with me. Even locally because it makes it easy to find places to eat or stores at the end of my hand. For the price, I can beat this product.

The maps on this unit are from 2004 and 2005. There is no update available for them. Consequently the GPS is constantly showing your position in the middle of a farm field or telling you to drive off a cliff. The Canadian maps are all off by at least 1000 yards, so even when you're on an existing road it doesn't know where you are. The manufacturer has been promising an update since 2007 and it has not and most likely will not ever show up. So unless you have money you want to throw away, don't even think about buying this item. 0 stars!

I would not buy this item. The data is at least 5 years old and the company has no immediate plans for updating. I have contacted them several times and get a royal runaround each time. I find it to be very USELESS!!!!!!

I recently purchased one of the GMRS / FRS / GPS tranceivers. It works great. I have one of the original Magellian GPS's from the days when they first came out. It has many of the same features however, the speed of finding GPS sattelites is much faster. Also, the radio features work great.

Great product, has a great radio and a easy to use gps. If you are thinking about buying a gps. Think: is it easy, does it have everything i need, and is it at a good price, Well this has it all.

Much like a computer, the GPS manages to freeze and crash the system. Though it easily starts back at the same place by turning the unit on and off, the freezes are all too frequent - perhaps this is version 1.0 of the software. I would not buy it for the GPS portion of the unit. On the radio side, I have only used the FRS portion so cannot comment on the GMRS portion of the radio. It seems to work, though on the FRS portion, it certainly has no more range that my Motorola Talkabouts.I believe the editorial review is out of date or incorrect. The FCC license is $..., not $.... It was changed on September 10th, but that was before the Audiovox was released by three months. ....

Unit offers many conveniences in a single handheld product. It is great to use as a tourist, in the car/boat or camping. It offers communications cabilities w/o having to pay per call, and GPS with memory usable as a bread crumb trail....if only Hanzel and Gretel had. I have used in the city when travelling with groups, and was able to keep in touch, and find each other easily. The product claims 5 mile range, and clearly states your range may be less in certain areas; but, I was able to keep in touch while in a few major cities....in cars on freeways separated by over 3 miles, and on nature trails separated by more than 3 miles, according to onboard GPS w/o any difficulties. The unit has a convenient fold away antenna. The display has a lot of information displayed w/backlighting so it is easy to see at night or in car. The unit requires 4 batteries however, and life is sufficient but if communicating a lot....the batteries do not last for a whole day...but then again it is easy to carry extra batteries...especially when you have bought a product that actually works.Minor issue, the piece is a little on the heavy side w/batteries, but a convenient carry case for the belt is offred, or it can be carried within a backpack. Obviously this isn't something that everyone would use, and the UI offers many features....the UI, requires a little time to get used to but once you do.....you don't need a manual to remember, as many icons are used. I really reecommend the case as it will certainly help protect it if it is dropped (as I have done), and the case prevents the units deisplay from getting scratched or wet. I have given this 4 stars as I don't believe anything short of extraordinary deserves 5. It's functional, performs well....and surprisingly as advertised....rare in todays techno-babble oriented consumer electronics industry. It is not for the faint of heart, who just wants to play with it....it should be used by someone who needs one...otherwise it may be considered cumbersome, in a nutshell.
