Will this remote work with my Jensen system?

It is made for Jensen devices that use the AWM960 remote. Check your old remote's model number or your device's manual before ordering, since a different Jensen model may use a different code set.

Does it come with batteries?

It takes two AAA (LR03) batteries, and replacement remotes usually ship without them. Plan to supply your own.

Are the buttons backlit?

No. The buttons are not backlit and there is no display, so you will need some light to see them.

Do I need to program it?

Infrared replacement remotes for a specific model generally work as soon as batteries are in. If some buttons do not respond, the remote may be coded for a different Jensen model.

How does it compare with a universal remote?

A learning or universal remote can control several devices and often adds backlighting, but it needs setup and may not map every Jensen button. This one is a straight swap for the AWM960 with no programming.
