Great value for the price. My only complaint would be that you cannot shut off the color change, like select a color, or just cycles through them. And you cannot adjust the brightness of the LED, which makes it hard to see in full sun. Happy with the product!

This thing is terrible. We just finally got around to installing it in our project ice cream bus, and now the volume quit working on the radio. We can still control it sometimes with the remote, but I wouldn't waste your money on this.

Pros:

Bad alternator whine with this one :-(

Steve from Lake Isabella on 5/18/2023

2003 Chevrolet Suburban

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought this to replace a Dual unit that had a wonky volume control but other than that it worked fine. I installed this and as soon as I started the vehicle there was a pretty bad alternator whine coming from all of the door speakers. I then proceeded to try every trick in the book to improve the grounds. I also bought high end RCA cables and installed a noise filter, none of which helped. Just for the heck of it I put my old unit back in the vehicle and it still works fine without any whine, so I know that the Boss 480BRGB unit was either defective or maybe just very low quality. Either way it's not a problem with my installation. I'm going to try to return it, otherwise it's going in the garbage because it cannot be used like this.

Pros: cheap

Cons: you get what you pay for

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Gets the job done; I got this to replace a factory stereo that gave out on me. Only complaint is that you're limited to 4 eq presets and basic bass/treble controls, so if you really want to tweak your sound, you'd have to look elsewhere. But for the price, not bad, and a couple of the eq presets are pretty good.

Pros: Can change illumination on unit to match your car's interior/dashboard lighting. USB for MP3s, aux input, and Bluetooth.

Cons: Lack of options for EQ

Crutchfield is awesome, service is wonderful. Good company to work with and they stand behind their products. However, this boss radio does not cut the mustard. I was cheap and bought the cheapest thing I could. Mistake, spend a little money and get something decent.

Pros: Price

Cons: Volume knob broke, almost immediately, dim lighting. I would not suggest going for the very cheapest option. I only did so, because I am getting rid of this vehicle. Love Crutchfield, have dealt with them before and they are awesome. However, this "Boss" radio is not worth the money. It is the lowest option for a good reason.

So far, great product. Exactly what I was looking for. A simple head unit to replace an old factory radio. Gives me Bluetooth and hands free. Even the old speakers sound better. Those are getting replaced next. Just because I drive an old car doesn't mean it needs to sound like it!

Pros: First unit I received was faulty. Which was frustrating. But got on with customer service and tech support, they were awesome and got a new unit in two days. So far, great purchase!

Fine Stereo, Mounting Screws Fell Apart Though

Re from Tacoma, WA on 12/21/2022

2009 Nissan Versa

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

A decent stereo, does what I want. The screws that came with it for mounting were useless and fell apart and I had to bore the holes on the radio open wider in order to use the slightly larger screws from my car's factory radio instead.

Pros: A major improvement over the factory radio from my car.

Cons: Mounting it was an annoying process. The threading on the mount screws it came with literally crumbled apart as I tried to screw them into the unit. It doesn't seem to get quite as loud as I'd like it sometimes.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

1st gen(01-04) Toyota Tacoma Definitely get the pre connected wiring if you don't feel like doing it yourself. It shaves some time down. And so far this radio works perfectly So for Tacomas(idk about any other year besides my generation) use the stock bracket. With some grace you'll be able to put it on the Boss 480BRGB radio. See the photos below. The bracket Boss sends with it definitely won't work without some modifications. I pulled the stock bracket off and used the screws that came with the Boss radio to attach it. It won't sit level and is going to take some light work to mount it to the truck, but if I can do it so can you lol. The mic for phone calls isn't the best. Going to have my friend wire up a microphone for me like he did in his 4runner.

Pros: Loving the color

Cons: Mic for phone calls isn't the best

Verified employee review (What's this?)

This was really a good deal for the money and installed easily. But.... after 3 months it seems to have some hiccups. When the color is changed to red, everything locks up and needs a reset. Other colors seem to work fine, hmmmmmm. Speaking of the lighting, the one fail in this unit is the backlighting on the most important part of the unit: The part that tells you what's playing etc. Can't be seen in the daylight, but the surrounding 'atmosphere' lighting is MUCH brighter. Not sure if my issues are what you get for the price or not.

Pros: Price, Easy Install

Cons: Backlighting

STAY AWAY! DO NOT BUY!

Justin from KNOXVILLE, TN on 8/31/2022

2012 Mazda 2

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Only gets 1 because the install was the only thing that worked the way it was supposed to. We immediately noticed that the screen is completely unreadable during the day. At night, it looks fine. We also noticed on the first use the USB door appears to be mounted incorrectly and feels like it's going to break off after a few uses. Both of these things we could deal with. But now, after slightly over 2 months of use, the radio randomly mutes itself and even tries to change the time on the faceplate. This makes it completely unusable as once you unmute it, it almost immediately mutes itself again.

Sounds good but the mic is absolutely atrocious. It's terrible. If you plan on talking while driving this is NOT the right stereo for you. The mic picks up EVERYTHING. AC, road noise, kids. Almost impossible for people to hear you.

Nice basic radio, sounds good. Shipping from Crutchfield could be better. Looked like everything was just thrown in the box, some out of the packaging. Box for stereo was all banged up and plastic trim ring for radio was broken. I didn't need it, so not a major issue, but they should take more care when packaging their items for shipment.

Be cautious, faulty product

Caleb from MC KENZIE, TN on 8/10/2022

2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Honestly, I'm disappointed. I wired the harness that I purchased with it exactly as instructed. I plugged the wire harness into the unit and all was well... for 4 minutes. After that, the display went black and would not come back. I've tried resetting, I've triple-checked my wiring, and I'm at a loss. At this point the only thing I can suspect is a bad unit. The sound is great compared to my old stereo, but its unusable without the display. I had a total of 5 minutes of functionality for my 2 hours of work. Hoping to get a refund or replacement for this. Overall, I don't mind Boss systems, I've had 2 for diffrent cars and both have worked fine, but this one is unusable.

Pros: Great sound, for a short time

Cons: Was useless after 5 minutes.

Might die within a month or two

Crutchfield customer from Chicago, IL on 8/2/2022

2010 Toyota Corolla

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

This product died on me within 1 month of purchase. I checked the wiring harness, fuse, and speaker leads and no issue. The head unit will power on and have lighting but absolutely no audio output from any source. It's a bit disappointing to spend the time to install and have that issue so early. However, Crutchfield's technical support has been excellent and a new unit is already on the way after we determined that it was indeed a bad head unit. Hopefully the next unit will perform better, but my hopes aren't too high. For anyone looking into this product I would recommend spending a little more for a higher quality head unit. Crutchfield as always has been great on their end, but this head unit is subpar.

Pros: Crutchfield's technical support

Cons: Longevity of the head unit

Purchased this stereo for a 2005 Honda Pilot. I was blown away that Crutchfield included the wiring harness, trim pieces, and installation instructions at no additional cost to the sales price of the stereo. I paid extra to have them prewire the harness and it was the best money spent. The Boss stereo is so much louder and clearer than the factory unit. I will, and have already recommended Crutchfield to my friends.

Extremely entry level radio

Otto from Newark, NJ on 6/29/2022

2010 Nissan Rogue

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

First and foremost Crutchfield always does a great job at not only giving your everything you need to install but also excellent instructions on how to do it. This 3 star rating doesn't reflect how I feel about Crutchfield. The 480BRGB media head was very easy to install and it worked immediately after installing it. Unfortunately the operation of the unit is another story. The Bluetooth pair with an iPhone seems to be haunted. While listening to music it just randomly calls phone numbers in my phone book. So I shut the BT operation off. The USB port using my own music files (which is my primary reason for getting this device) works well but the buttons on the unit are a bit clunky. The biggest issue it navigating the folders in which the music is contained. You can simply switch from folder to folder. The units OS makes you switch folders 10 songs into each folder. So if you make 10 folders (each being an album of music for example) when you switch folders it will be in the middle of the folder and you have to remember where you are in the file system. The Boss 480BRGB sounds fine and has lots of EQ and preset sound adjustments to fit your needs but don't be too picky at this price point. For what I paid I fine with this units short comings but if Bluetooth operation is why your buying this find something else.

Pros: Lots of preset and manual sound adjustment options. USB automatically finds your music. An equal value at the price point Very easy to install

Cons: BT is possibly possessed by Satan (might be a plus if your into that) Buttons feel cheap and clunky USB/mp3 file navigation is a pain Included remote works intermittently

I did purchase the stereo for my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. And of course all of the necessary adapters did come with my purchase. My only complaint about this stereo is the fact that I cannot use my iPod in the USB drive. I just got a hold of crutchfield technical support, and was informed that the USB port will only support flash drives and such. This is fine, I will use the USB port to keep my iPod charged, then I will use an auxiliary input to control the iPod music through the stereo. I did pair my phone with the stereo. I was able to stream Pandora from my phone through the stereo. I was also able to make and receive a phone call using the stereo. I am not sure if there is an internal microphone, or if they use the speakers as microphones. Either way, it seems to work well enough.

Pros: The installation was easy enough. The sound coming out of my factory speakers seems to be cleaner.

Cons: As mentioned above, the USB port on the stereo can be used for USB drives or for charging only.

I bought this for the price and my first one worked for a few days then started being really weird. It started making phone calls to random people and would turn off and mute itself. it was weird!

Works as advertised. Installation was easy, and looks clean. Crutchfield made it easy by recommending the necessary adapters for installation.

Pros: Better sound (2008 factory radio) Easy installation Remote Control Bluetooth pairs quickly & easily Aux/Usb

Cons: -Feels cheap out of box. -Audible plastic clicking sound when using buttons. Which is normal except these sound exceptionally cheap. -USB cover is very flimsy. -Not compatible with steering wheel controls. This was made known before purchase, so it doesn't affect my rating.

Nice radio for a good price. I Installed it myself with zero prior experience and it took maybe 40 minutes. Agree with previous comments about the screen being a little hard to read- Cyan and White work best during the day. Made a huge difference for me with Bluetooth audio since I have a 2004 CRV. Also highly recommend getting the ReadyHarness service- worth the extra cash if you don't trust yourself with wiring yet lol

Pros: Easy installation, readyharness was perfect

Cons: Plastic buttons not designed to last forever, screen a little hard to read in direct sun.

Finally taking the plunge to replace my factory 2007 head due to the death of an aux jack.. really who uses CD's still? Anyways, has a good sound. Not going to break any windows with it but it's loud enough to get you groovin. Much more modern sound than the museum piece i'd been rocking. Display is a bit dim, and if you're like me you're going to wonder how to change the screen colors because the manual is the polar opposite of intuative.. just hold the button in and cycle until you see the word AUTO.. rotate on that one, problem solved. I kept it green.. can see that any time of day.

Personally, this isn't what I'd prefer to have but it was all I had for my budget. But I do like this unit. Was easy to setup and pair with my phone. It doesn't have a lot of features but it works. Honestly, you don't really need a whole lot of features as they give extra distraction on the road. This unit is fine for my lifestyle.

Installed well enough and paid Crutchfield to do the wiring harness. Made it simpler to install but the rear speakers do not work now so I assume the harness is wired incorrectly. No biggie because I drive a truck for work so I am used to no rear speakers anyway but the kids aren't happy. The receiver been in use less than five hours and now the bottom half of the screen display quit working. I just hope the top half does not break or I will have no clue to what the heck is playing. Am I happy? No but I don't want to deal with replacing it just yet. Just expected more from Crutchfield.

The display is so dark, there is no adjustment besides the color selection. The only color that works best is white and it was still dark. You cannot see the display easily on a sunny day. Other than that it seems like a decent unit so far but I have never had a radio like this with a display that washes out so easily in bright conditions.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I bought this radio (and all new speakers) for my wife for Christmas. I finally got around to installing and it worked great for 3 days. Now it will power up but randomly have no output regardless of source. I checked all wiring and periodically it will provide output (sound). unfortunately, since I ordered it before Christmas, we are past the 60-day return. I cannot find on Crutchfield's website where to send the unit under the factory "3-year warranty". Please provide warranty information on your products. No, I don't want to call and talk to anyone. I order online so I don't have to speak to a person, please provide email or forum support so customers can obtain help without calling on the phone.

Pros: inexpensive & in stock

Cons: poor quality

When you consider the price, the ease of installation and moreover, the ease of use... this is the perfect choice. We were not looking for lots of bells and whistles. In fact, we were trying hard to avoid them. This was a gift for Mom, and we wanted a clean, easy to read face, with simple navigation. And thats what this BOSS brings. The FM tuner is clean. The AM is unfortunately a little weak, but passable. The USB drive is easier than CDs. If straight forward and simple is your wish... then this is the unit to get.
