Versatility for your dash
Versatility for your dash
Boss Audio's BV6824B DVD receiver offers a great solution if you're not interested in having a touchscreen display in the dash, but want to keep the troops entertained during a long road trip. This receiver uses its two video outputs to send movies and other content to your backseat screens, as you control the entertainment with its simple control panel.
Your media, on tap
This Boss Audio receiver provides plenty of ways to play your music. You can slip a store-bought or recorded CD into the slot, including discs burned with MP3 files, and you can play MP3 files that you've loaded on an SD™ card or USB drive. You can also hook a compatible Android™ phone into the USB port to play back music. You can connect other music players to the front-panel auxiliary input, while the rear-panel A/V input allows you to connect sources like a gaming console. With five preamp outputs, you can connect amps to get your system pumping.
Bluetooth® for your convenience
Once you pair your phone, you can answer your calls with the push of a button, and talk as if your caller is sitting next to you. Plus, the receiver supports Bluetooth audio streaming, so you can stream music wirelessly from compatible devices to the receiver, with basic control functions like play and pause.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
