## Description

jControl turns your phone or tablet into a fully functional Jensen stereo remote. Manage power, volume, Bluetooth streaming, SiriusXM, AM/FM tuner, NOAA alerts, CD/DVD playback, USB/iPod control, and more — all from a pocket-sized device. It supports Jensen models JWM1A, JWM10A, JWM12A, JWM6A, JWM60A, JWM62A, JWM70A, JWM72A, JWM9A, JWM90A, JWM92A, MS2A, and MS3A.

Key features mirror your stereo’s capabilities on your phone: USB navigation, select inputs, speaker groups (A/B/C), and audio settings (bass, treble, balance, fader, EQ). You’ll also get on-screen artist and album info and handy clock with sleep/alarms. Perfect for RV life or portable setups, jControl keeps the remote at your fingertips. App capabilities vary with the stereo’s feature set.

## Review summary

User reviews largely condemn jControl for unreliable Bluetooth connectivity and poor app quality. The Bluetooth pairing and connection often fail on iPhone devices, and connections drop or cannot be established. The app is described as outdated, rarely updated, with broken support links and a poor user experience. Users also report intrusive connection prompts and difficulty selecting inputs or managing multi-zone audio. A minority note that the app can work and provides rich controls when it connects, but reliability is the dominant issue.

### Pros

- Enables remote control of the Jensen radio from iPhone.
- When it connects, the app's control set is feature-rich and responsive.
- Some users find multi-zone volume control easier via the app.
- App can be downloaded easily.

### Cons

- Chronic Bluetooth pairing/connection failures with iPhone (pairing fails, not connecting, frequent drop-offs).
- App is outdated/rarely updated and poorly supported with broken links.
- Poor usability and confusing UI/setup; non-intuitive; archaic feel.
- Persistent prompts to connect or 'jControl App would like to connect' when not in use.
- Inability to reliably control inputs or zones via the app; inconsistent behavior (e.g., aux control).
