BOSS Audio Systems BVB9358RC CarPlay Android Car Stereo, 7 Inch Touchscreen

First things first. This head unit does NOT have an SD card slot. It is a MICRO SD card slot (the newer super small card). Massive difference. All the people that have posted comments and the description itself says there is an "SD card slot" when it is not an SD card slot. I got it hooked up without any issues. Sound is great. Touchscreen is slightly misaligned and a rather low resolution (but it was $100!). So I can look past that. I cannot get rid of that incessant touch screen beep sound when you touch the screen. Having a hard time finding the the right video format to play movies from the MICRO SD card. supposedly AVI/DIVX at 720p. hopefully I'll find the right configuration soon. I hooked up a camera to the camera port and that works too. All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase. ***UPDATE*** I am using the "Divx Convertor" free application and it works perfectly. Albeit the output size is large. I couldn't find a configuration with the Handbrake program to work properly. ***UPDATE*** After about three months the unit kept randomly locking up or restarting and it was happening more and more as the time went on. It got to the point where if I drove to the store it would shut off about five times in a 15 minute drive. I called their support and they were totally cool. They shipped me a new one before I sent my unit back so I wouldn't be left with a hole in my dash. Then I shipped back the old one in the same box. The new one is working flawlessly. Props to BOSS.

Installed in a 2000 TJ. Works well so far. It is packed with a lot of features you don’t typically expect with a head unit at this price point. I like the rear camera, no issues with Apple car play, the ability to connect to an amp is great, crossover control right in the head unit is fantastic. Only complaints I have are the time it takes to boot up when starting the car and the delay in the rear camera, but at this price, those are super minor.

I finally decided to pull the trigger on our aging 2004 Ford F-150 mainly for the purpose of adding rear-view camera. Initially research endless list of wireless to wired rear view camera options, even purchased and returned a DOA item for a wireless camera. The wireless kit more than this head unit set! After contemplating, decided to go with Boss BVB9358RC Double-Din with Rear View license plate camera. The obvious attraction was the 6.2" screen and rear view camera. Did not want to have another monitor using my 12v plug and an eye sore on my dash. Purchased with Metra Harness (70-5520) and Kit (95-5812). Both worked like a charm (although the Metra DoubleDin kit required some tab removal). I spent some time soldering the wires from the radio harness to the Metra Ford Harness ... all colors matched up perfectly. Then added the rear view wiring through the cabin via tail light trigger wire (positive). The radio installation was simple enough (about 30 min) but the wired rear view camera took a while. Biggest draw back was the video cable was about 2-3 feet short. Thus, need to purchase and RCA coupler and another video cable. Thus, rearview camera install took about 2hrs. I T-tapped into the positive rear bulb in the tail light. With the included video cable, ground isn't required, but I did still tap it into the negative wire as assurance. As for the head unit, it looks fairly good. DVD,CD, MP3, AM/FM, Touchscreen all work flawlessly. I was worried about needing an antennae adapter, but it was not needed for my for truck. Only negative would be that the rear view camera is subpar. The camera is overexposed and spotty in some areas...and will cut out at times when weather is chilly. Not sure what the fix would be other than to replace the rear view camera. Hopefully the seller can see my review and offer an exchange for the rear view camera. Other than that...overall far exceeded expectation for the price. Highly recommend the product.

Much better than I was expecting for this price range. I recently bought a decent condition 21y/o truck and, having not driving cars without rear cam for several years, I found myself backing up without turning my head. So, for safety reasons, I HAD to get me some backup camera at an affordable cost to complement my new weekend warrior vehicle. Started looking at rear view mirrors with backup cameras but a decent one ranges in the $80-160 ballpark and still would give me a dim image no larger than 3.2" diagonal so I moved on to stereos. After looking at so many available options, and all range of prices, I found this gem. Nice stereo, 2din, full size screen with backup camera included for $100. What's not to like? Comes with all wiring, including the RCA video for the camera. Unfortunately, it comes with a 16 footer and my truck required and extension. The camera looks OK. I've seen worse. Image is bright and I can't find any settings to tweak that. But, for what I want, I'm more than happy with the results. While testing before fixing to the dash, I noticed the rear heat diffuser for the amp gets hot really quick. I'm not into listening to loud music so I don't think it will be a problem. Time will tell. Hopefully not a fire hazard. I don't typically listen to music in my car so audio quality was not a deal breaker as long as it had the basic functions. I'm glad to report that not only does it have all those functions and more, but also sound is more than decent for the price. I was gladly satisfied. Bluetooth works good. A2DP sounds very nice. Most BT units come with external microphones to be installed near driver or passengers to minimize distance to source and reduce sound/noise ratio. This unit does not. As a result, other end receives tons of road and truck noise and less amount of voice. Probably not the best if you're planning on relying on it for phone calls. I don't so it works for me. I've definitely used much better BT phone systems. If you're looking for audiophile quality, this is not it. But if you're looking not to break the bank and install a functional unit, step up from some stock ones, this might do it.

I bought this to install in my 99 f150, I wanted a newer radio w/ back up camera. Came across this unit, mixed reviews but thought, “why not”. Install is like every other radio install I’ve done. Have the proper harnesses and mounting kit for your vehicle and there should be no issues. Install went smooth, looks pretty good to. I had to modify the sub dash to accept a double din but that’s not the radios fault. Like I said, I bought it for my older truck, didn’t need top of the line but I was expecting a bit more. The EQ is a joke and hard to tune, the volume is a pain to regulate, screen isn’t the most responsive, hands free calling is a joke (you can hear great! But people can’t hear you) and the BU camera that came with it was a joke. Bluetooth streaming works well. The unit started acting up and resetting all the settings. It was acting like it was losing power. So I pulled the unit, inspected the wiring and connections, everything was good. Put the unit back in and it kept resetting. Called Boss Audio, they have a “Platinum” warranty if you purchase directly though them or an authorized seller where the give you a extended warranty. Called, they sent me a replacement and I sent the other one back. Installed the new unit. Worked great for a couple months then the same power issue started randomly occurring, this time I hooked up an old single din to the same power source to see if it’d maintain its memory. The new unit would reset like power was lost to the unit but the other one maintained and showed constant power. Then the back up camera would randomly switch on the screen while driving making the radio useless. Called again, this time they offered an upgraded unit at no additional charge. Though, I’d lose the ability to USB charge devices. Not much for upgrade eh? I’d been looking at their other head units and came across a Apple CarPlay unit for $226 on Amazon. I thought perfect, I could use my phone apps and it even came with an extended mic for hands free calling. No cd slot, but who uses CD’s anymore? Now that would be an upgrade. Told the rep I’d be willing to pay the difference between my old unit cost and the new. They said sure, they just needed to go their website to price it out........they came back with almost $260. I asked if they could match Amazon’s price, they said they’d have to talk to a manager. Got an email saying they can’t match the price. To me, that’s piss poor customer service. To late for a refund, so I’ll be pulling the unit and paying for a more reputable brand. You get what you pay for folks. Pros: Unit looks good aesthetically (that’s really all there is) Cons: Garbage quality-Sound is not good-The functions are finicky-Features are generic with no way to personalize anything. Spend the extra $$

This product went into a 2005 F-350, dual speaker standard cab setup. RCA output was not tested. The stock audio is fine, the equalizer works, the bass and loud functionality boosts quite well with set EQ values. Also, the overall interface is also easy to learn. Sound was fine for my case with stock speakers. The Bluetooth and streaming audio is a major let down with spoken word, and also bad with audio. The system mutes audio after a pause of one second. Streamed Audio slowly fades back in after muting. This seem like it should be considered a bug that was never fixed, and I have found no option to override such behavior. Many notes and many words are said in the time it takes to fade back in. Super annoying. Same, device-level behavior from either Android and iOS devices. CD was fine, probably played 40-50 CDs in here, and so far the skips would only happen from a dirty disc. Curious to hear what RCA Output could be, but right now standard wiring is plenty in the standard cab truck. Based on streaming inability and glitches, I would not recommend this product. Was mostly intending this to be a streaming unit, and am pushing forward despite the unacceptable behavior upon audio silence. When purchasing a new head unit for the truck, streaming functionality was in the top three deciding factors for me in this price bracket, this was not the best choice and the product missed the mark. Although I have no alternative recommendation, I would definitely not buy this again.

This head unit from Boss blew me away. Perfect double din fit, super easy install in my Jeep Wrangler, plays well with the factory sub. The Apple car play is a smooth interface, having Siri, autoceell phone interface just top notch. There was a time I was very involved in high end custom auto sound, making my own molded sub enclosures, tri amping etc. Miles of 4ga power, custom crossovers etc etc The 125 Boss does it so easily

fit is a bit snug with the double din kit for my 2012 chrysler 200, so i’ll have to shave down little of plastic for my volume nozzle, still works just little stiffer because of it rubbing. otherwise hooked up great! sound is just as good if not better than stock one. looks great, no lag, wireless carplay works. i did not hook up the gps, or back up camera (didn’t care at this time to have it) plugged in mic (kinda dumb looking)

Excelente

So happy we changed out our Sony Stereo for this Boss Stereo backup camera system looks and sounds great....the only issue we had was that we thought the remote was defective but it turned out that it only needed a new battery. As you can see in the video the empty hole is because we are waiting on our new Backup camera and 9" monitor. We need this for our 37 ft Rv motorhome the Boss Stereo does have the license plate camera it works great but opted on getting the bigger screen with 4 cameras. Want to also mention the Bonus was the price and how easy to install.

Product is not okay change in product. I am ordering photo is Same product. But comming in another product. This is very bad product. Not i change in product
