Excellent For The Price! Very happy!
By TennaWhat
Installed this the other day in my pontoon boat.The sound is much better than expected - very happy.The screen is very clear and more than acceptable.This stereo also had two additional Video-Outputs. I connected one to a dash mounted 7" Legacy Monitor and it looks great. Note - the Video-Outputs DO NOT show output when in "Radio Mode". But do show output when a CD/MP3/DVD Movie are inserted.Tested Terminator 2 in DVD Mode - Looked and sounded great!Camera Input which works as expected.Tested a purchased DVD movie, three different Home-Made DVD Movies, DVD with MP3's, CD & CD with MP3's, ALL worked with NO Problem!For the "Parking Break Safety Feature", just Ground the Green wire to any ground to bypass.Note - The reason for a "4-Star" rating and not 5 - The Product Description makes it sound like a "Touch-Screen", it is NOT a Touchscreen, it is Touch "Controls" only. This is mostly my mistake, should have read the description closer and then contacted the seller, but would be nice if said something like "Touch-Controls Only, not a Touch-Screen".I would buy this item again for sure!

By D. Benedict
OK, I have been living with this thing for a couple months and I am ready to give it the full review top tobottom! I'll cover the packaging, installation, initial impressions, what works well, what doesn't,predicted reliability and any tips or tricks that I have learned. Let's start with the packaging, nothing fancy and if I recall it comes with the metal sleeve, acouple of 'keys' to remove the radio from the sleeve, a short metal strap to mount it and two wiringharnesses that plug into the back of the radio. One harness is for power, ground, remote turn on, etc. andthe other is the speaker outputs. Directly connected to the back of the radio (no harness) are all theinputs and outputs. It also has a manual, the exact same one you can get from the bossaudio web site. Uponunboxing I looked over the radio and you can tell the Quality Control is not really A+. It works fine and wasnot broken in any way but the back side of the screen had a smudge on it and the corner of the front bezelstill had plastic 'flashing' sticking out a little bit. Not a highly polished product that is for sure but Iam not going to be super picky at this price. Next, installation was fairly easy with this unit. You can wire both wiring harnesses before you putthe radio in since they are modular, leave enough slack to plug them into the radio, plug in the RCAs thenyou slide the radio into the sleeve in whatever opening you put it in. Perhaps this is me but there are twostages of insertion of the radio into the sleeve. The first stage 'clicks' once you get it in a certainamount. If you push it in really snug it will click into the two small holes right near the front of theradio on the sides. I was not able to get it to click into the tighter set of holes and also get thefaceplate and trim frame onto the radio. I had to slide it in the first set of holes which leaves about a 1to 2mm gap between the radio and the sleeve, which looks a little cheesy from the side if you look closely.The silver metal sleeve really is noticable in that little gap. I painted my metal sleeve black since itbothered me. My impressions and observations about this unit have come over the last couple months. The featuresthat I have used have been AM and FM radio, front USB, SD Card, picture viewing, mp4 playback, DVD playback,front RCA out, internal amp, and subwoofer out. I'll go over each one by one. AM Radio: reception is pretty good and sound quality is nice. One problem that I have had is thatwhen I go over bumps sometimes the AM (FM also but not as bad) radio will sound like the reception isdropping. I don't know if the electronics for the radio are in the detachable panel but if I shift the frontpanel around and tap it lightly it tends to go away. It seems the worst on cold mornings. Not a big dealnow that I know what it is but if you don't know it almost sounds like you wired something incorrectly. Iwonder if the front panel is just a little flimsy which causes this problem. I would suggest not removingthe detachable front panel. I used to do it a lot when I first got it (paranoid I guess!) and I wonder ifthat caused stress on the front panel. FM Radio: again, reception is pretty good and the number of presets is nice (18). THe LOC function,like just about every other radio I have ever had, doesn't seem to do a darn thing. What's nice about theradio is that if you press "clock" you can read the time quite clearly. The same cannot be said in the othermodes. Front USB: pretty much functions like the SD card. Plug it in and it will read your files and startplaying. If you leave it in the next time you turn it on it will start at the same place you left off whichis nice. SD card does the same thing. Picture viewing: Not much to see here. Maybe a nice feature if you want to show someone something orlook at a slideshow. Just jpg I think is compatible. Big (3GB or more) pictures do take a while to render.It would be nice if you could make a picture your wallpaper but I do not think you can. MP4 playback. OK, I wish more info were published about this but I can say that you can't go wrongif your video file is encoded with Xvid for video and mp3 as audio. The manual doesn't say what kind of .mp4files work but I suspect only divx/xvid. I can say that I have not had a single .mp4/x264 video play. Idon't think it has the horsepower anyway. The framerate can be pretty much anything 25/30 fps but it didstart to choke on 50/60 fps video. Not sure the max bitrate but I used up to 2400kbps and it played fine.Just make sure your largest dimension is at least 640 on the width or 480 on the height. You definitelycannot throw an HD file at it. I hope this helps someone. I wish I had known. DVD playback. In a word, nice. I did not try PAL DVD but they probably play fine as well which isnice. The audio along with it is nice. I almost like watching DVDs in the car better because I have abetter dynamic range and frequency response in my car than in my house. Some 4 x 3 stuff is stretched to 16 x9 which might bother some but I guess it's OK. YOu cannot resize the aspect ratio. RCA out: Levels seem to be fine. The pre-amp outs didn't have quite enough juice and I had a littlebit of hiss at low volume when I cranked up the sensitivity on my equalizer. I backed that off and set thegain on my amp instead so it seems to be pretty good now. The volume is certainly electronically controlledand not analog as the volume goes up in 'steps' when starting at low volume. This is a little annoying and Iwould prefer infinite gain but not a big deal breaker. Internal amp: I ran this before I got my external amp hooked up and I'll be darned if it isn't halfbad. If you are on a budget (like me!) this really is not a bad amp. Not nearly as good as a component ampbut it sure isn't bad. If you are running the internal amp I highly recommend very good power cabling (atleast 8 AWG if not 4) and good speaker wire (minimum 14 AWG). I ran the factory wiring and the display woulddim pretty bad when I turned it up loud. I would bet that would go away with good cabling. Subwoofer out: Used this today for the first time. It's a mono out. I am not sure what the db/octaveis and the crossover frequency and I do not remember seeing it in the manual but if I had to guess I wouldsay 80Hz at maybe 18db / octave. That is a wild guess though. Seems to work fine. After testing many featuresalong with my observations about the radio dropping out over bumps I don't really predict this radio will last foreverbut for now it works fine and it should keep on chugging for a few years. Finally here are all the little niggles and observations I have about the radio. Yes the front paneldoes feel a little sketchy and it is a little tough to pop in and out without feeling like you might breakit. It has been fine though. The volume knob is just doggone slippery and sometimes hard to turn up anddown with confidence. It is slightly annoying to have to always toggle through the "AV" (rear view camera) mode every time Iswitch from radio to USB or SD Card, etc. I don't have anything hooked to the video in. The options/setup menu is prettynice and I accidentally set something that I shouldn't and the audio was really choppy. I changed some sort of setting fordynamic range it went back to normal. Fit and finish are kinda bad. The clock is hard to read on the SD Card/USB screensince it is bright green on top of fairly bright gray with lots of letters. Some people complain about the interface andindeed it is bare bones and not very flashy but it gets the job done just fine and I am sure its simplicity (linux perhaps?)probaby allows them to offer such a versatile product at such a great price. Also, some have complained about how brightthe display is. I don't really have a problem with it personally. I think I need to mention the fan in the back. It does not run when using the radio but if you use the memory card / DVD / USB it will spin up. I am guessing it is a CPU fan. Mine spins up pretty loud at first, especially when it is cold. If you are listening to music at a relatively low level the fan sound is kinda loud.If you look back 10 or 20 years on what radios used to do this thing does a ton and does them well.It's fairly unobtrusive / not a real looker (i.e- might not be that interesting to potential thieves)does a ton of stuff and rocks the house. I can't give it 5 stars because it isn't perfect but for the priceI have to give it 5 stars. Bluetooth would have been nice but oh well...

By Anthony S. Cruz
I purchased this radio for my 1991 Ford Explorer. I will admit a was a little iffy about this radio but so far it has worked perfectly. The radio works fine its very easy to install and the cd/dvd player works great. To make the dvd player work you have to plug the parking brake green wire to the parking break system but if your like myself you have no idea what that is. I just went online and searched for a bypass for boss radio parking brake wire and it simply told me the answer, went outside and tried it worked great. :) So thankful for technology and blogs! Other then that one thing that bugged me is the when you turn up the radio there is a clicking noise which is quite loud. If you like myself I hate the clicking noise, but you get used to it. The screen for movies is very good quality! When you plug in the ipod through USB it syncs with the deck but the letters are very small, its a little difficult to read but if your like myself once again I just go through the folders not knowing whats going to play and just listen to what song comes on. Its kinda fun :) Overall radio works perfectly have had no problems and would definitely suggest this to anyone, you definitely get more for your money!
