Great radio for the price
Fist one came and it didn't work they sent me a replacement right away. Worked great. Easy installation. I would definitely recommend it. We'll made cool adjustable touch screen and sounds way better than the factory radio

Amazing product
The one at Walmart costs $240 without microphone and without backing camera. This one is cheaper and includes microphone and backing camera. I love that the instructions are clear. It also has separate instructions for the backing camera. All cables are labeled accordingly which is superb!!! Very easy to mount. Camera view is not the greatest but it is more than good. Android play and Apple Play worked well as well as Bluetooth. I don't use tuner so skipped it. Works great with my speakers. My prior radio did not stick out of the dashboard so the sun would make it hard to see the GPS. This is the perfect solution for that. I turned the brightness all the way to 10 and can move the screen to the side and no more sun glare. The backing camera option has labeled cables for the braking wire that you need to connect to your car's braking wire. Our car's manual did not specify which cable that was- we didn't care to look for it so we did not set up the braking wire which means that when you go into reverse gear, the camera doesn't automatically pop up, you have to press it on the monitor which is fine for us. We could get a radio person to do it but not an issue at all, we don't mind. Microphone is clear and mountable with double sided tape. All on all, very pleased 😀 will buy again for my second car.

Very good, small hiccup
I’ll start off with the head unit. The touchscreen is very good, much better than I had expected. The response to touch is quick and you don’t have to apply much force. The latency between touch and response is also very good, except for in the settings menu for some reason. Apple CarPlay works very well, the touch response is even better there. Everything else is about as you would expect it, nothing crazy for inputs, mounting is a pain (but it always is) and sound quality is solid but not top notch (granted the built in amp and equalizer are much better than any other head unit I’ve had before).As for the camera, I have no idea since I managed to cut the AV cable in half during install.. but it does look like every other Chinese made backup camera on the market so I’m sure it’s fine, but nothing special.Now for the hiccup, I’m not sure what’s caused this, but as I was heading home tonight, the screen refused to display the backup camera image as I was backing out of a parking space. I figured the ground must have come loose or something simple. BUT when I tried switching to CarPlay, the screen was still blank. Everything else worked just fine. Even the music from CarPlay was working, just not displaying. I then found out that the screen was receiving input from my phone as I could touch the screen to change songs, function, etc. just nothing would display. Turning the screen off/on, cycling the car, disconnecting the power from the unit, nothing worked. I finally gave in and did a factory reset and for some reason that worked. Hopefully this doesn’t persist, but if it does, i guess I’ll be seeing how good Boss customer service is…Otherwise, I’ve been very happy and would recommend the stereo, unless this issue persists.

Great Radio and excellent choice for upgrade 2002 Ford Focus!
Bought this radio in April 2023 as a replacement for my 2002 Ford Focus wagon radio. Getting Apple CarPlay is fantastic! Integrating all functions into one screen is awesome. No upgrade required for the 4 way original Ford speaker system since this radio has a small amplifier that is just enough to give those speakers lots of bass and power (not a boom level). It is connected via a USB cable so it charges while providing all of the other functions. Phone is connected via bluetooth, but the microphone is not very good. Everyone complains when I try to talk via the supplied microphone. Repositioned it twice to no avail. That would be my only complaint. My grandkids love that screen is movable and pull it around to them to search Spotify for their songs! There are USB connections for both Apple and Android and my daughter uses Android with no issues! All around, this is a great upgrade for older cars!

Works great!
I bought this for a Jeep Liberty 2004 and it is beautiful and big and I love it. But to keep in mind: It’s a bit too big so the emergency lights button is kinda uncomfortable to reach. The rest is all great!

Buggy, bad UI, and Android Auto/Apple Carplay require wired connection
Overall I'm very disappointed with this head unit. The only pro is that it is one of the few head units with an oversized display that fits in a single DIN slot under $300.Cons:- The display is bad. It isn't bright enough when direct sunlight hits it, and it doesn't get dim enough at night- Using Carplay/Android Auto requires connecting your phone to the head unit via USB cable. This was a surprise to me because that wasn't listed in the product specs nor shown in any of the photos- There's no way to completely turn off the display. "Turning it off" results in the time shown in front of a black background. The problem is the display's backlit is still on and since it doesn't get dim it's uncomfortably bright at night- The UI is really bad. One example is when you mute a popup appears in the middle of the screen to let you know it's muted but it never goes away. It covers up every other app including Google Maps- I don't know if I got a defective unit but Android Auto keeps disconnecting on me after 5-15 minutes. It's pretty annoying when I'm using it to navigate somewhere

Just awesome
This stereo is great, fits perfectly in my 95’ F150. The sound is incredible, radio is great. UI is nice and simple. Installing was very easy, harness it comes with is simple pre cut, they dumbed it down you’ll figure it out it’s not hard

Not bad for Apple Carplay but Android Auto failed.
It is too late to return this now but if I had to do this over, I probably would have gone with another brand.It was easy to install and the features were fine. Andoid Auto works for a little while but then the Boss system crashes and restarts. It worked FLAWLESSLY for Apple Carplay on a long road trip.Bluetooth worked fine with both Android and Apple phones.Two months later, Apple car play stopped working. I did a factory reset and it worked again.

I’m going to buy two more of these
Wow, I am so happy with this. I have the 10 inch Ken wood for my Camaro so I bought this Boss for my Mercedes and it is so much easier to use than the Kenwood so far that is the best thing I have bought this year. It works so great with my Apple CarPlay.

Muy bueno, pero se queda corto
Por el precio es una buena opción, yo lo compre por la marca y porque trae el carplay de apple, pero es mediante cable, creo ahí se queda corto en cuanto a funcionalidad, pero funciona muy bienUna de las cosas que no me gusto es que no lo puedes apagar o al menos bajarle el brillo total cuando conduces de noche, llevas todo el brillo de la pantalla, no puedes desactivar la pantalla a menos que la quites, porque si quitas la pantalla sigue funcionando el estéreoPero en si muy buena

Excelente equipo para Bronco 1995…
Me llego mas rapido de lo esperado. Lo instale el mismo dia, en menos de 30 min. Se ve de buenos materiales y funciona tal como se describe. Cuando esta en funcion de radio el volumen es alto, si usas el bluetooth para la musica, el volumen disminuye, o sea le tienes que subir al equipo. El Apple Carplay funciona de lujo, es lo que mas me gusto. Hago y recibo llamadas super bien, utilizando el microfono que viene incluido. La camara no me gusta mucho como se ve pero funciona muy bien y con buena imagen. La pantalla tiene mucho reflejo pero creo que le puedo poner tipo mica que lo elimine y de hecho quizas hasta ayuda a proteger la pantalla de suciedad y rayones. Lo recomiendo 100%, estoy muy contento con la compra.

Great Head Unit
Worked amazing good features. Bang for buck is there. Good wattage so the speakers are sounding good and loud from just check power.
