Doubled My Satisfaction!
John from Roseville, CA on 8/8/2022
2004 Toyota Tacoma
I bought the Boss BE7ACP and installed it on my 06' Dodge Ram to replace the outdated factory unit. This unit does everything I wanted and the install was fairly easy (I'm not real knowledgeable with electronics). I also installed the backup camera. I was so happy with it, I bought a second unit and installed it in my wife's 04' Tacoma. Now we are both happy and hands free.
Pros: Easy Install Apple Car Play Easy screen navigation Works as advertised
Cons:

Nice upgrade for stock 2007 Toyota Corolla
Mark from Coraopolis, PA on 8/8/2022
2007 Toyota Corolla
Installed this in a 2007 Toyota Corolla. Fits, looks and sounds great using stock speakers and dash insert. The installation went very smoothly with a little help from the kind folks at Crutchfield. Although we are ecstatic with the outcome, price and features, there are a few things that could be better. The screen is near invisible when the sun is shining in the car, not because of the screen brightness but the glare, making it impossible to see. Its so bad i had to take the photos for this review at an angle. This is a serious issue when using navigation, so I need to figure out a workaround. The RCA aux port on the back is actually part of the A/V input so you can either use it as an AUX port or for a dvd, not both. When you turn the car off and back on you have to wait for the stereo to boot back up and go through the interactive "agreement" screen. This is annoying because its takes a while. When connecting an iPhone to the stereo before starting the car, carplay doesn't work requiring a disconnect and reconnect. Lowering the volume requires pushing the button for each level, you can't just hold in the button. Overall i would recommend this stereo for the features and price.

Michael from ST CHARLES, IL on 8/7/2022
2012 Hyundai Accent
Installed on a 2013 Hyundai Accent (HB). Still have to wire up the back-up camera. So far this unit works very well. I bought it for the safety of having Android Auto and a backup camera for my teenage son who's learning to drive. For the price it is worth it. Just want to call out some issues I have/had: The Dash kit for the Hyundai sets the radio in and not flush with the paneling. It's hard to see in the pic but this makes the buttons hard to touch. Luckily I bought the steering wheel harness and use the SWC for most volume/tuning needs. Also, for some reason which I don't understand the wiring harness does not include a pass-thru for the factory microphone on my car. I tried using the mic that came with the unit, and people I spoke to on the phone said I sounded like i was in a submarine. (Mounted mic on dash behind steering wheel). The Crutchfield support was good enough to send me a wiring diagram for my car, and I was able to find the factory mic wires and jumper them (using Posi Taps) to a separate 3.5 mm mic jack that I got from Amazon. Now the mic sound is much better. Overall this is a great upgrade to my old radio, and I'm happy with the purchase. Hopefully the backup camera works well once I set it up.
Pros: Looks good, Sounds good, Includes 2 charging cables and backup camera for price.
Cons: In dash kit isn't perfect fit for my Hyundai, No mic pass through on wiring harness to my factory mic.

Easy to install. Has all the feature I was looking for. Bluetooth and back-up camera works well. I had Crutchfield do the wiring harness assembly which is well worth the price.
Pros: Easy Install
Cons: Instruction for back-up camera very weak. Crutchfield tech gave me clear info immediatelt.

Great budget option
Jan Carlo from Chula Vista, CA on 7/25/2022
2000 Honda Civic
Solid head unit. Installation was straightforward. Decent sound quality, but I'd recommend tinkering with the settings. I like that there's an app that in Apple Car Play mode that lets you switch back to the unit's main menu. I find that more intuitive. No noticeable screen lag when in Apple Car Play mode - per some of the other non-Crutchfield video reviews. That was my main concern but just went ahead with this unit bc of the price. It's actually pretty close to the Sony in my Tacoma in terms of screen responsiveness. Knocked off a star for the overall build quality. It's not exactly cheap, but its also noticeably not a Sony. I'm also not a fan of the shiny screen. It will for sure get smudged. The one thing that does bug me is the time it takes to boot up. Even after getting situated in the car, I often find myself staring at the boot up screen for a good 3-4 seconds whereas my Sony is up and running in no time. Not a deal breaker, though. I still really like the unit overall and would recommend it if you're looking for a budget option.
Pros: Budget friendly, solid unit, easy install, clean looking, intuitive UI
Cons: Slight cheap feel compared to big name brands, smudge prone screen, long boot up time

Pros: User interface, great sound, easy installation.
Cons: Echo on phone calls is apparently not resolvable which is unacceptable

I love this radio. For the low price you get all the features and quality of one of the far more expensive units. The Android Audio and Apple Car play are used daily and work flawlessly without crases or resets. This unit does only use the front sets of speakers for the bluetooth calling and bluetooth voice. Bluetooth music and carplay/android auto work on all speakers.

Sean from Hopkinton, MA on 7/21/2022
2012 Toyota RAV4
Replaced the old radio in my 2012 Toyota Rav4 after my wife commented a few times about not having a backup camera. I had never attempted anything like this before but the installation was a breeze with the resources from Crutchfield. Having Crutchfield wire the harness was a no brainer and as a result all I had to do was disconnect the old radio and plug in the new connectors. Steering wheel controls work like a charm, the original USB port is what I used for connecting our iPhones via Apple CarPlay. This BOSS has two USB outputs, so I used 1 for CarPlay and the other as a spare charger for the passenger. The Crutchfield wiring even dealt with the parking brake connection. The original mic in the car above the mirror doesn't work, but the BE7ACP-C comes with a microphone that I simply stuck below the radio. Works great - sounds good in the car and sounds good to the caller. I had to call customer support with a question about wiring options for the backup camera and I have to say service is over-the-top outstanding. I got to a knowledgeable person with just a couple of rings. He had access to my order without having to even give my order number (thank you caller ID!). He was patient and answered my question. If you get this radio, get it from Crutchfield. You'll be glad you did. My wife is happy - I am happy.
Pros: Apple Carplay works great Good sound to my ears Crisp screen

Works (almost) as advertised
Ari from Rockville, MD on 7/16/2022
2001 Honda Accord
Installation was super easy. I needed some support help wiring the backup camera (thank you Henry!). The radio sounds good, looks good. I got this to add CarPlay to my 2001 Accord. I'm able to get all my functionality that I need for my daily commute which makes me happy. My only complaint is a terrible echo on the incoming caller's end when I get a call via CarPlay. They report it's horribly distracting, which I'm seeing is a common complaint for this unit. I hope this can be resolved with a firmware update.
Pros:
Cons: Bad echo when using the phone via CarPlay.

Upgrade from stock, offers nice features
Kelsay from W Valley City, UT on 6/23/2022
2007 Honda CRV EX
Not a bad Stereo by any means, from 2007 Honda CR-V stock to this, that was a jump. However, as quality goes, it is okay. The camera or screen resolution is not that great. You can see things, but it's grainy and kind of gross. The sound quality from stock feels like it dropped a little bit, but I am not in the car enough to fully test that yet. I installed it in my wife's car. Installation with Crutchfield's instructions was pretty easy. It helped walk me through all of the steps and I learned a lot while installing this stereo. It is very light in weight which is nice. The menu is easy to navigate. The main reason why I got this was for Bluetooth and android auto and those have been working great so far. My biggest complaint is that while with android auto, it slow charges. Haven't used the charging portion yet to see how well that works. Overall though, from what we started out with, I do enjoy it.
Pros: Bluetooth Android Auto customization of sound pretty easy to install (excluding camera because that's a bigger project in a SUV)
Cons: Low quality camera sound seems weird, but can customize it in settings to improve it.

My son is very happy with the way it turned out. We installed it on his 2006 350z and this gave him the ability to integrate his phone to the car. It sounds great with the factory speakers, but will upgrade the speakers as it can only get better.

2005 Audi A4
The receiver was easy to install and the main screen is self-explanatory. It took me a few seconds to figure out how to adjust the navigation volume so I could hear it. The glare can make the screen hard to see sometimes. Overall, a great value and it works very nicely. The backup camera is good. When connecting it, I simply connected the two red power wires at the camera and connected the red power wire to the stereo reverse wire and everything worked. I wasted some time trying to connect to a taillight reverse power wire which turned out to be not needed.
Pros: Easy install Good features
Cons: Glare on the screen Navigation volume not easy to find and adjust

It doesn't do what I wanted it to, but after contacting Crutchfield apparently no radio does what I want so this was reasonably priced and works. Got it specifically for Carplay and to use it as a Nav to replace a dead factory unit. I'm not sure if it's the radio or carplay that is the issue. I knew the unit would disconnect my phone from Bluetooth when plugged in. But it actually turns off my Bluetooth so my watch is no longer connected. And it turns off my wifi. They also don't turn back on automatically so I have to manually turn on wifi and Bluetooth and resync my watch every time I use it. Not sure whos part is at fault, but that seems ridiculous to me. Screen is slow to respond. There wasn't any wiring instructions for the rear camera so I had to guess on that. I know there is tech support for this, but I don't want to have to call or chat. Masterguide for my car has the wrong info or doesn't have all the information. I got the wiring harness pre-wired. While convenient I was pretty shocked at the way it was done. I was expecting soldered connections with heat shrink tubing. It was butt connectors. If I had known it would be done halfass I wouldn't have wasted 20 something dollars and soldered it myself. First time buying through Crutchfield and I'm not sure if I will again. I had to call just to be able to order speakers because the system said the factory size wouldn't fit. I might have been expecting too much because of their customer service boast.
Pros: It works, nothing special.
Cons: Touch screen lags and trim makes it tough to press things in the corners. Beeping for every button push is deafening loud until you find the setting to turn it off. Should be defaulted off not on. Pre-wired harness is handy but cheaply done. If you have any wiring experience save your money and do it yourself.

christopher from Easton on 6/3/2022
2006 Pontiac G6
Fits perfect in my Pontiac G6 but I have a few issues with this radio. First off, everytime I turn the car on it automatically gives me a "Caution!!! Watching YouTube videos while driving is prohibited" safety speech & I have to continuously tap the OK button which gets irritating after a while. Another issue I have is everytime I put the car in reverse, it automatically turns the volume way down as if I'm going to see any better with the volume all the way down & there's no settings I can use to disable this feature. & the biggest problem I have with this radio is that the Bluetooth constantly disconnects & reconnects every few minutes. So instead I use the wire connection from the radio to my phone. Only to find out it automatically turns on & connects to the Bluetooth & still disconnects & reconnects every two minutes. Which is absolutely a pain in the butt when I'm trying to use the map for directions. & don't understand what's the point of using the wire connection if I still need to use the Bluetooth. Just makes no sense whatsoever
Pros: Looks good
Cons: Safety message everytime I turn the car on. Volume goes way down when in reverse. Horrible Bluetooth & wire connection

A good, economical upgrade for older vehicles. Crutchfield's on-line/phone technical advise was a real plus in selecting the right package. Their optional pre-wired harness conversion was a perfect choice and saved a great deal of time adapting this Boss to flawlessly upgrade a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Their package included many instructions and references which really addressed many questions I had before, during, and after the installation. Very pleased with the resutl

Solid upgrade with liberating features
Terry from Brevard, NC on 5/26/2022
2010 Toyota Tacoma
I had scoped out other CarPlay-ready units to replace factory head in my 2nd Gen Tacoma and I'm pleased with this choice. Boot up time--including wireless CarPlay wireless in the glovebox--- is about 40 seconds. Having a second USB port in rear of unit was liberating! This allowed me to route one USB to the glove box to connect a wireless CarPlay dongle, out of sight and protected, while the other USB was routed to the former 12v cig lighter for a thumb drive or other charging (like a qi wireless charging pad!!). The unit also has a micro SD slot which can store media of all types for playback. While I don't intend to watch a movie in my truck, or browse my photo albums, the unit does allow you to personalize the background image. I see a Steelers logo coming soon to my radio! Crutchfield was awesome, as usual! They filled in most all of the blanks for installation, providing all appropriate harnesses and easy-to-follow instructions, and quickly answered the phone when I got scared or confused. For other Tacoma folks: replacing the 12v cigarette lighter with a USB charging port was not well documented by crutchfield nor by a friendly YouTuber who didn't address important details. Ultimately this replacement required removing the center console to get access to the back of the 12v lighter to disconnect and then to route the new usb cable to the back of the unit. Youtube filled that "remove center console" gap nicely and

Cons: Volume reduction in reverse. Has volume buttons instead of knob.

Avoid if you have an iPhone
Jeremy from Chesterfield, VA on 5/10/2022
2009 Toyota Tacoma
This head unit is a perfect budget unit if you have an android. For the apple users out there like my gf who this was bought for it is not the right unit. This unit, and BOSS all together is not officially supported by Apple so there are many feature that don't work. Most notably, the phone doesn't mute or filter phone call audio. So if I called my gf then I would hear a PERFECT echo of everything I would say or everything that came over her speakers. It makes it unusable for phone calls and also means that Siri will talk to herself and a few other issues. Crutchfield's set up guide was good and the backup camera is cool. Good for android, but AVOID IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE.
Pros: Great budget Android Auto
Cons: Apple Carplay

Great Radio for a great price in my 2009 RAV4
Paul from Belmont, MA on 5/2/2022
2005 Toyota Prius
I am pleased with this radio in my 2009 Toyota RAV 4 Limited with JBL. I am using the original JBL amplifier and speakers. The sound has improved despite this set up. I had to turn the tweeters down a bit. The features are fantastic especially compared to the original radio. The installation was a challenge with several calls to Crutchfield tech support. Now all is well. I was a little nervous about the Boss brand but it seems great so far. I was able to continue to use the steering wheel controls. Now the voice button calls Siri on my iPhone.
Pros: lots of features great sound wonderful price bright screen
Cons: fingerprints on the screen are noticeable

Good on paper, poor performance
Paxton from Potsdam, NY on 5/2/2022
2012 Subaru Impreza
Unfortunately this head unit was better advertised than it performed. I recently upgraded the audio system in my 2012 Subaru Impreza and chose this head unit due to the cheaper price and the Apple Car Play/ Android Auto feature. Everything worked out of the box, however once the volume was set to more than 25% of the maximum the head unit would go into a "Protection Mode" and cut all audio to the speakers. After checking all the connections and speakers I decided to replace my old stock head unit that I was aiming to replace. This fixed the issue as now the audio sounds great with no more power issues. Aside from the good list of features, this head unit should be avoided. 2/5 stars
Pros: Cheap Easy installation
Cons: Poor quality Weak internal components Cannot outperform stock head units

I have installed many stereos in my vehicles over the years and been very satisfied. However, this is the first stereo that I wasn't completely happy with. The main problem I am having is the Apple Carplay will not stay connected. The second I put the volume up with my dual 12-inch woofers it disconnects from Carplay. Then it connects back to Bluetooth connection. I have never had a stereo with Apple Carplay before, but I am pretty sure it shouldn't just disconnect because I turned the volume up.

Missed it by that much
Jon from ROUND ROCK, TX on 4/18/2022
2006 Toyota Camry
I was looking for an inexpensive option to upgrade the deck in my 2006 Camry with something that has Apple Carplay. The deck does everything I want it to do, however there is a quirky thing that occurs intermittently when I start the car where the buttons illuminate however the deck does not power up. I have to cycle the power off/on, sometimes several times, to get the deck to power up. That one flaw is the reason for the big reason for the loss of a star. The second reason is the separate volume levels for the Navigation, Notifications...etc only seem to work when you catch them while they are happening to turn them up or down, and not in the Settings menu. I have not attempted to install the Backup Camera, or the optional Steering Wheel controls yet.

Hard to read the screen during day
James from Wharton, NJ on 4/12/2022
2007 Freightliner Sprinter Cargo
It is a decent head unit for the price. I installed it in my work van. The reason for the low rating is the unit is always in night mode. When you go to settings it has an automatic option or always night. It is almost impossible to see while driving which is very irritating. Also my other complaint is the volume control seems to be set very low for Apple Podcasts. I'm not sure if that is due to the head unit or the app itself. If both of those issues were fixed I would be very impressed with this unit. Aside from those it is a nice unit for the price.

Use Tech Support if you arent clear on the install
Dana from San Diego on 4/10/2022
2004 Lexus GX470
Very Happy with the Boss ACP. I am VERY thankful to the Technical Support staff. I called 4 times to get straightened out on various areas of the install. Every time I called, The Crutchfield team put me right back on track . I was getting discouraged in the beginning but step by step , my confidence grew and I completed the cleanest install of my stereo install attempts. Thanks for the great deal and the great support. I never shop anywhere else for my car stereo needs.
Pros: Great price for the options. The stereo sounds great and the backup camera is not bad at all especially considering the cost. Apple car play works flawlessly , back up camera is better than I expected due to some negative reviews, the face plate matches my car perfectly ( it looks like it belongs in the car) .One Note for potential installers, I had to use the Amp settings on the Boss. I attempted to use the old Lexus amp settings , and for some reason Apple CarPlay wouldn't connect.
Cons: One set of directions wasn't given to me in my initial email. Tech Support sent that to me after I called due to not understanding some of the wiring .

2015 F150
Pete from Tampa, FL on 4/10/2022
2015 Ford F-150 XLT
Wow! Hopefully reading this will help you with your install. First! Get the harness put together by Crutchfield to save yourself some time. Now go to YouTube and watch the install video for the Maestro F150 kit. Read the Boss user manual and the Maestro install manual. Update the Maestro module with a PC and their software on their website. Good to go? Be sure to save all your old parts just in case! Take out the old stuff and take your time installing the new gear. Plug the new harness in to the vehicle. I missed a few extra plugs that were in the bag such as the reverse camera and steering wheel control harness. Everything is included so just go back and check the kit bag for the harnesses you maybe missed. Read the manuals again! Double check your work and look at my PHOTO of the mounting position of the Boss unit screws. Once it's all setup don't snap it all together just yet. Connect the battery again and turn the truck power on to see if it all works. My REVERSE lines were pointing the wrong way when I steered left and right. Fixed itself after cycling power. Good to go? Snap it all together! The Boss unit is pretty simple and just there to run CarPlay. I use the R&B preset which sounds the best in my XLT. Adjust the gamma higher, makes the black contrast better. Turn off system tone and EULA. Enjoy!
Pros: CarPlay Price Simplicity
Cons: Daytime brightness could be better

Iin addition to a clear back camera image (shown in pictures)., it offers most of the features of my Acura TLX. For now, to make calls to choose music I am using HEY SIRI. I haven't checked it out, the included microphone might do that too. It did work for phone calls. As this iss mounted in a 2003 Mustang Convertible I don't anticipate making or receiving calls while the top is down. I also note that this is connected to a Mach 460 stereo with the supplied cable.

This radio is the BOSS!

This is a great improvement from the OG CD/cassette radio. My daughter was able to navigate through it with no issues. The back up camera works well and she loves it!
Pros: Easy installation and all features work as described
Cons: None so far!

good value for money, but limited mounting hardware
Richard from Bowling Green, KY on 4/5/2022

2007 Ford Ranger-Decent product for the price. The automatic dimmer doesn't work as the radio flickers at any setting but high. So have to use the manual settings and even in manual the screen is to bright for my liking. Barely noticeably dimmer than the high setting. Mounting kit supplied by Crutchfield is barely adequate, should come with longer screws and different mounting brackets. I used the metal ones with the radio but cut the ends off and pop riveted those the radio console bezel, It worked as good as can be. The side filler pieces in the mounting kit fit very well. Nice neat installation after figuring out how the secure in the dash with limited mounting options. Radio audio lessens when put into reverse, which is annoying. Very basic features, a better choice for radio presets would be nice. IT DOES WORK with6th Gen I Pod through the USB port...In spite of the negatives I'm happy with it overall for the price.
Pros: good value for the money
Cons: -mounting kit not very good -screen doesn't dim much so it is too bright for what I like -premade wiring butt spliced...terrible!!! I ended up soldering wires with heat shrink

Dim display

All features are great except display brightness. Very dim in normal driving light. Even adjusting brightness and gama doesn't help much. Minor annoyance in that it does not return to Android Auto after backup camera is activated.
Pros: Great sound and functionality
Cons: Display is too dim and washed out in normal driving light conditions.

Good unit, but not great

Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me. The sound with my Kicker speakers was excellent. No complaints there. The radio operation screen was lacking and minimal. CarPlay integration was great, with one major problem. The bottom left menu button is deep behind the bezel and very difficult to tap. The boot up time is a bit long too. It didn't fit well in my dash with the brackets either. The additional power wires for accessories, the dual USB lines, and dual camera inputs are top notch. Very impressive in regards to those.
Pros: Sound CarPlay integration Price Availability
Cons: A few CarPlay buttons are difficult to operate. Didn't fit well in my dash.

It's OK

It's missing a few things. It could have been better with just a few more options/settings.
Pros: It works enough
Cons: Bluetooth phone is weak. The mic that comes with it is extremally cheap. Fingerprints on the touchscreen. Glossy screen instead of matte. No settings for music preference for shuffle to stay on. You have to turn it back on every time you turn the car back on. A few more options to "click" would help.

Started off great but a year later and most of the time this head unit will not work. If the car sits for a few hours it will work, but if you turn the car off, run into the store, then come back it will not work. It powers up, but then just hangs on a blank screen. Not very impressed unfortunately.
Pros: Easy Installation Lots of Options
Cons: Stopped Working Consistently after 11 Months Need to push the button on the head unit when in backup mode

Very could but a few changes would make it great.

Awesome headunit for the price. It doesn't feel cheap, everything works on it wonderfully with no issues. I'm still using the stock speakers in the car so not sure how it'll work with aftermarket stuff but works great with stock. I have 2 complaints however. First one is the backup camera that came with this is mediocre at best. The biggest thing I find with it is the field of view. This camera needs to have more of a fisheye lens on it so I can see left and right better while backing up. As it is now it's really only useful to see directly behind you. My second complaint is the brightness of the screen. It needs to be brighter for during the day OR needs to have matte finish on the screen. I don't have this in a convertible but even then the glare from light outside during the day makes the screen hard to see most of the time even at max brightness.
Pros: Features, user interface
Cons: Dim/hard to read screen for daytime use.

Totally impressed and happy. I was leery about by-passing stock amplifier (losing tweeters & sub), and relying on units internal amp, but this may sound better w/just 4 speakers !

The Boss head unit is great. Easy to navigate, sounds great, and has Android Auto, which is the main feature I was looking for. I would recommend purchasing a better quality backup camera as the one that is included isn't that great. For the money, you can't beat this Boss unit. The loss of a star is due to the camera, the head unit is very nice.
