About the Boss BV765BLC
Touchscreen on a budget
Touchscreen on a budget
If you're thinking about a new touchscreen car stereo that offers a lot for your hard-earned dough, Boss's BV765BLC DVD receiver fits the bill. Its 6.5" display includes a variable color background, simple icon controls for your DVD, CD, SD, and USB sources, and built-in Bluetooth® for hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming from your smartphone. And Boss backs up this receiver with a 3-year warranty – almost unheard of for a car stereo in this price range.
Large icons help you find the source you want with a quick glance.
Bluetooth delivers wireless convenience
Bluetooth enables wireless streaming for stored music, Internet radio stations like Pandora and Spotify, podcasts, and audiobooks. Android™ users can pair to this receiver, download Boss's control app, and run the show right from their phone. This receiver also lets you take and make calls while keeping your hands on the wheel — an awesome safety feature when you're making your daily commute. Boss built in a sensitive Bluetooth microphone for your calls, located on the receiver's faceplate for a simpler installation.
Bring on the video
When your car is parked, you can use 6.5" screen to view movies. You can also see your artist and song info without squinting. If you want to take your show on the road, connect video screens to the receiver's two video outputs and keep your backseat passengers entertained. Talk about value — Boss also included a backup camera with the BV765BLC receiver. Install it on the top part of the license plate holder, run some wire to the back of the receiver, and bingo, you can then use your new in-dash display to help back into those tight parking spots.
More media options
Turning to music, you can slide in just about any disc, even a recordable DVD or CD loaded with MP3 files. You can load up a USB drive or SD card with your digital music, plug them in, and let them play for hours. The front auxiliary input lets your connect a portable player, like a portable high-res player. This Boss includes 7-band EQ and seven presets for quick tone changes. To get more impact out of your system, three sets of preamp outputs let you connect amplifiers to power your speakers.
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.

Customer Q&A
Q
Is the backup camera cable long enough for an 8 foot bed pickup truck? It is listed as fitting my truck but I read many reviews that say the cable is not long enough.
A
I had to add on more cable because it was too short

Works as described, but . . .
Paul from Lakeville, MN on 6/3/2019
2005 GMC Canyon
I bought this and installed on 2005 GMC Canyon. Install was easy, but camera wires are too short, so I bought a separate 20ft cable online - then it worked just fine. The Crutchfield wiring harness is super easy and worth buying. Unit does everything as stated, but I didn't like it for the following reasons. The volume knob I literally would have to turn 3-4 revolutions for meaningful difference in sound level for road noise compared to stop. I didn't like the menus operation and layout, but maybe thats' just me. The mic was too soft, which I think the volume knob might also control (?) but that knob control was already annoying. I had already installed new speakers, and expected the sound to be better on them than my factory head unit, but it wasn't, and I was disappointed with the sound quality - or lack thereof. It also has a large delay in many operations, I expect it has a cheaper, slower chip to be so economical. I decided to return it, beware, you can't return the wiring harness. Spent about $80 more on a JVC model, and am so glad. I can really tell the difference in sound quality, and navigate the menus with more intuitiveness, and LOTS more customizing sound options as well.
Pros: Lots of features, Economical, Camera included.
Cons: Delay - slow in operation, Menu design, Sound quality

The manual doesn't mention how the phone works nor that the radio has that function. No phone mic I thought it did. The radio resets itself every 3-5 days. Pain in the rear end. Loses presets and clock.
Pros: Easy install Easy radio programming
Cons: Sound quality not near my pioneer Seems to forget it's memo every several days.

Great unit for a budget receiver. Included remote and back up camera at this price point is a plus. Really like the equalizer function instead of just general groups like jazz, rock, classical, etc presets. Occasionally loses connection with bluetooth while streaming music from a smartphone and volume sometimes change immediately as knob is turned.
Pros: Great features, included back up camera and remote
Cons: Sometimes loses connection with smartphone while using bluetooth, volume has a lag between turning the knob and volume actually changing

My daughter loves it! if you are looking for a very high end experience this is probably not it, but it's absolutely priced appropriately. I would say the unit is a little nicer than I was expecting. I am not able to get the rear view camera to work for some reason. The instructions for hooking the rear view camera are very sparse. Hopefully I can figure it out. I think that will be a great benefit for my new driver Using the stock speakers it sounds better than the stock head unit. The hands free phone and blue tooth are great.

This unit definitely puts the factory radio in my 05 Colorado to shame. It sounds completely different and makes my pickup feel up to date like newer vehicles.
Pros: More power to speakers than factory a big plus. Touch screen is nice. Bluetooth works fine and dvds play good too. Backup camera a big plus. Good value for the price.
Cons: The backup camera was a little confusing to wire since I had never done one before. Wasn't too bad but You tube before installing.

Glad I Went for the Boss!
Greg from Honolulu, HI on 1/11/2019
2004 Toyota RAV4
The Boss BV765BLC has everything I was looking for and is intuitive to use. It looks good in my RAV4's dash, too. The reason I marked it down one star is that the cable for the backup camera is about 18 inches short. So I still have not been able to use it. If that is the case in my short vehicle it will be a problem in many vehicles. Come on, it doesn't cost much for a few extra feet of wire! The sound quality is good and it handles all of the source inputs. This came very close to being a 5-star purchase.
Pros: Versatile Easy to use Tad larger screen (6.5") than many Camera will be nice to have
Cons: Backup camera cable is too short.

The radio is very nice....sounds good and back-up camera is great...good combo for the price.....Crutchfield folks were pleasant and helpful...good instructions when "behind the radio" meaning when just installing the actual radio, the instructions were good and they were helpful...installing the back-up camera not so much......2-3 sets of conflicting instructions and I still never got the right answer..had to figure it out myself on the net........and the back-up camera cable was 5 ft short...had reviewed the product reviews on the Crutchfield website earlier and saw the same short cable complaints so was prepared but it appears Crutchfield is just ignoring the short cable comments.....don't think I will use Crutchfield again...Happy Holidays!!!!
Pros: Great radio
Cons: Poor instructions and short back-up camera cable

Jonathan from Chicago, IL on 10/1/2018
2005 Ford Explorer
As previously noted the built-in microphone doesn't pickup well. The playback from streaming is not smooth when moving between tracks. The radio pickup is poor even in the city. I would like to customize the background, but you are limited to 3. Would like for it to have a better display when playing tracks from iPhone. I It does what it is supposed to, but it doesn't look good while doing it. I feel like it is a bare basics desktop. Would like to change the display color. Had a horrible buzz until I installed the Boss B25N Ground loop isolator. That alone improved the sound.
Pros: Simple and basic
Cons: Simple and basic. On board mic is poor.

Nice unit but doesn't quite fit
Mark from San Antonio, TX on 9/27/2018
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500
The biggest reason for 4 stars is with the RCA plug for the rearview camera plugged in to the unit it doesn't quite fit, so the front is too far forward in the dash for the instrument panel trim to fit properly. The other is the clock is very small and the sound level decreases when the rearview monitor activates.
Pros: Has the features I wanted, review camera monitor, Bluetooth with build in microphone
Cons: Doesn't quite fit in the slot in my 2001 Chevrolet HD2500 with the RCA plug for review camera.

Ryan from Mableton, GA on 9/10/2018

Great price, but you're getting what you paid for. The installation was very easy but I'm a little disappointed at the lack of option this unit has. Don't get me wrong, it works quite well, but I would have liked to see better equalizer functions and more display options (such as text size, fonts, clock display, etc.). The one negative comment I have: the on-board microphone is quite poor. When using the call functions I get constant complains that I cannot be heared and that it sounds like I'm standing 20 ft away from the phone... Like I said, you get what you pay for.
Pros: Easy installation, clear display, overall unit works well.
Cons: Lack of display options, low quality equalizer interface, on-board microphone does not work well.

My 2006 Chevy Silverado came with virtually no options. This unit added a back up camera, Bluetooth hands free calling, streaming right from the phone pandora and other music and a really easy to use interface. It is an improvement on the sound I imagine even better if I upgrade the speakers. Crutchfield does their best In trying to help with the install. The toughest part is trying to find the reverse wire which is a total pain in the A@$$@.
Pros: My 2006 Chevy Silverado came with virtually no options. This unit added a back up camera, Bluetooth hands free calling, streaming right from the phone pandora and other music and a really easy to use interface. It is an improvement on the sound I imagine even better if I upgrade the speakers.
Cons: Trying to find the reverse wire under dash. Finally the suggestion of using the reverse light power at the rear of the truck and making a solid wire connection saved the day. BTW a hacksaw will not cut the back brace - no room. Luckily I have a plunge saw with a vibrating metal blade that made short work of it.

A disappointment
Rick from Hampstead, MD on 8/29/2018
2011 Chevrolet Aveo5
Bought this radio mainly for the price and micro SD slot for .mp3's, and my factory radio was faulty. Didn't need backup camera or DVD player (I didn't hook these up). Extremely poor AM radio reception (yes, some of us still listen to AM). My chosen station, even when strong, is blotted out by other local stations on other frequencies. For example, I listen to 680. Sound is drowned out by signals on both 1090 and 1370 even when 680 is strong (I can hear it in the background), so the spurious signal reject of the receiver is poor. Secondly, when playing mp3's, the first 1-2 seconds of each track is cut off...not the end of the world, but annoying anyway. As others have stated here, the volume knob requires a good deal of turning before you get a reaction, but I get around this by using the remote, which is more responsive. The wiring adapter kit and mounting kit that Crutchfield supplied (at no additional charge) was superior, however. Never install a radio without them! Will probably re-install the factory radio as at least the AM reception was superior.
Pros: Easy install with Crutchfield-supplied kits, FM reception and mp3 sound pretty decent.
Cons: Very poor AM reception; annoying cut-off of mp3 tracks; super bright display, even when dimmed.

The display is not clearly viewable from the passenger seat. Otherwise a great unit. Not quite clear installation details but a quick call to customer support and a few intuitive procedures had it installed without any trouble.
Pros: Pre wired harness was worth the extra $
Cons: Needed extra cable for the back-up camera.

For the Price? Great Value
Chas from Austin, TX on 8/19/2018
2003 Mazda B Series
was a bit hesitant to order this unit . . . . read the reviews and i gotta say they are pretty accurate -- a number of minor issues with this unit, but i could not be happier for the price. a decent sound system AND backup camera for a low price. and the backup camera is great. priced out a better unit with fewer issues and a backup camera and it was about 1.5 higher w/o gaining much. not worth it to me for my old (but trusty) pickup. and if you are not familiar with installing a car stereo i would highly recommend the custom ReadyHarness. what a life saver! made the installation process quite straightforward. well worth the money.
Pros: bluetooth connects easy, backup cam image quality, sounds great for low end unit, radio reception/station lock strong, ReadyHarness, excellent value, installation kit
Cons: Dated interface, volume control sensitivity, short rca cable for camera (small pickup), touch screen sensitivity, built-in mic sound quality,

Gets the job done for the price. There is noticable occasion static when listening to the radio, but it's not bad enough to purchase another unit. The backup camertworks great and is a nice bonus. I don't quite understand how to use the "streaming" audio source and the USB doesn't play audio from my phone.
Pros: Included backup camera

2000 Lexus LX470
Plenty of issues with this piece and most are noted in other reviews: -Volume Knob - need to keep spinning it before it starts to adjust -Poor reception - worse than the 2001 stock radio i pulled -Screen is slow to respond -Recent event - entire screen would not respond while I was traveling, couldn't change channels or volume and it would not shut off. Had to pull over and tried to reset by turning off vehicle, it shut off the volume but not the screen. Had to pull the fuse to get it to stop. -3 times in 30 days it has reset itself to factory meaning I needed to reprogram all of my channels -Would agree with most reviewers in that you will want to upgrade stock speakers -Back up camera is the best functioning piece
Pros: -Back up camera -screen size
Cons: -reception -sound -phone audio -reset glitch

The unit has good sound and although the installation kit required a lot of "customization", it was not too hard to get it in. The problem is that it will not go to the home screen even though the instructions say it is first on the hierarchy, it just goes blank.
Pros: Good sound
Cons: Terrible instructions and installation components.

Outstanding Sound!
Scott from Seymour, IN on 5/22/2018
2013 Nissan Murano
Outstanding sound! The radio is easy to navigate!! I installed this in a 2013 Nissan Murano (non bose/non navigation) and it was pretty straight forward except for a few areas because it was my first install. The backup camera cable has a red wire on each end. This connects to the rear backup light and the wire from the radio that connects to the taillight. The antenna adapter has a power antenna wire which goes to the antenna/amp connection. If you don't do this, the antenna only works locally and some of the speakers do not power. Love this radio!
Pros: Easy to navigate! Backup Camera included Bluetooth and aux..
Cons: The usb, aux port and memory card has a pretty dust cover that gets in the way of plugging anything in. This was cut off within the first hour. Looks great without the cover.

good starter radio, could be a lot better
Mike from Westfield, NJ on 5/21/2018
2006 Subaru Forester
Its a bit fuzzy, but i remember having a really hard time installing this thing. i find the radio is too far set into the dash, and i may have to bring it forward to use it better. the screen isn't that sensitive and you have to give it a good poke to make it work. its like a garmin screen. so adjusting the EV is hard. going through the menu is a pain that the remote is kind of useless. hard to see anything on it. because there are few tactile buttons its hard to know what to press to advance a song. and when you do, it seems to be 3 seconds into it. the song titles are truncated as well if i recall. the back up camera is the worst. not only do you need a large hole (phono jack sized), but the camera melted. i had to install it inside the car like a dash cam. but the hot sun made the hot glue they used inside melt. and the unit became blurry. they sent a new one and it did it again. i was able to fix it with a heat gun and steady pressure after taking it apart, i put crazy glue on the outside of the lens to keep it in place. i'm hoping that will work. the camera tends to flicker when it backs up though. the sound is hard to hear over OEM speakers, hoping new ones will make it sound better.
Pros: it can play off a thumb drive or SD
Cons: Terrible back up camera instructions to install were not ideal remote is pointless sound is poor (on OEM speakers) could use a tactile button for advancing screen could be better overall

Good for the buck
Tom from Jefferson, OH on 5/8/2018
2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
For the price it is a good deal because it includes a rear view camera. Camera works great. Stereo works great although I would like to have seen better software on it. It seems a bit outdated. Modernize some the software with something smoother and this would be 4 to 5 stars IMO.
Pros: Touchscreen. Bluetooth. DVD player. SD card and USB slots. Included backup camera.
Cons: Clunky, non current software.

Great bang for the buck, with a few faults
Ryan from Houston, TX on 5/7/2018
2006 Ford F-150
Giving this 3 stars because for the money, it does what it advertises fairly well, but with a few faults. Was primarily looking for a backup camera and bluetooth for an older F150, and this mostly fits the bill for both of those purposes.
Pros: -Bang for the buck, cheaper than most radios with comparable features -Backup camera quality is much better than expected, very clear picture, and when wired to the reverse lights will turn on immediately upon putting the vehicle in reverse -DVD player works pretty well too, didn't really expect to get a DVD player and probably won't use it much, but it's there if we do need it
Cons: -User interface is a little clunky, not the worst I've seen but could be improved -Volume knob is a little weird, usually unresponsive at first input, has to be turned for a second or two before the volume begins adjusting -Built in mic quality is terrible, we've had plenty vehicles with bluetooth calling capability and this is the first where my wife and I pretty much have to yell to be heard -RCA cable was about 2 ft too short to reach the radio on a crew cab F150, shouldn't be an issue for most cars but something to keep in mind if you have a truck

It'll work... Already have had some problems with it. Whenever I have used a flash drive, which is twice, the unit locks up after it has played for a while. It quits reading the flash drive and I cannot turn the unit off, or change the function. I have had to disconnect the battery negative and connect it again to turn the unit off. Then have to reprogram it again. Would like to know if other have had this problem?

The stereo was not difficult to install however the instructions for wiring could be improved. The backup camera is great and has a very clear picture (impressive). The blue tooth feature is nice and allows you to use your phone hands free for safety.
Pros: Backup Camera has a great picture. Stereo has features found on most high end systems
Cons: Radio reception is below average. Instructions for installation could be improved.

Terrible radio
Brian from Augusta, GA on 4/10/2018
2004 Ford F-150
Complete junk. Crutchfield has been great in sending me a second one to replace the first that shorted out my electrical system. Had the second one professionally installed. Will not sync to my phone book despite the installers best attempts. Can't be heard on the phone during calls. No streaming of info during podcasts or with music. Got the most expensive steering wheel control module but does not work half of the time. Get a different radio if you are installing in a 2013 Elantra. Can't believe a company as great as Crutchfield carries such junk. And don't bother with BOSS tech support; they are anything but supportive.
Pros: backup camera works somewhat
Cons: Everything else

Overall a great unit for the price, easy install in my '06 Escape, all instructions included and easy to follow. A lot of functions along with a touch screen, unheard of for this price range. The only negative is a slight delay when turning volume up or down, but you get used to that pretty quickly.
Pros: Lots of options, easy install, touch screen, wiring diagrams included.
Cons: A slight delay in the volume control when turning up or down.

The Boss BV765BLC had all the features my wife wanted, which mostly was Bluetooth streaming from her IPhone. All the other features were icing on the cake. The back up camera provides a clear picture as does videos played on the screen. The Crutchfield price point can't be beat especially the mounts and factory wire harness connector that Crutchfield provides with the stereo at no charge made installation much easier and smoother process.
Pros: Back up camera, Bluetooth streaming, video playback, pre-amp outputs galore. 3 year warranty.
Cons: None

Radio sounds good and has lots of nice features. The Crutchfield Tech Support was very helpful assisting with understanding the camera wiring diagram. Needed to extend the camera wiring to install on a full size van. Camera back up guide lines can not be adjusted to center if the rear camera is installed to either side of the center of the vehicle.
Pros: Sound, Bluetooth, video and rear camera for the price
Cons: The rear camera RCA cable is too short.

Cheap touchscreen/backup camera
John from Christiansburg, VA on 1/17/2018
2008 Toyota RAV4
A lot of features for the price! Bought it mainly for the back up camera which has a very good picture. However, the cables were too short and this was installed on a small suv (Toyota RAV4) so I feel like that could be an issue with several brands of vehicles. The other negatives are not being able to stream music from an iPod or iPhone through the USB connection, the blue tooth streaming from my iPhone was not as clear as it should have been and finally the radio tuner isn't very strong for my area of the country (mountains and valleys). Overall, the price is dirt cheap for a touch screen display and back up camera so if those are some of your criteria, go for it!!
Pros: Price, camera, touchscreen, decent sound.
Cons: USB connection not iPod/iPhone compatible, blue tooth streaming quality, length of cables.

Could be a lot better.
Ron from Flower Mound, TX on 1/14/2018
2001 Mazda B Series
Nice to have bluetooth in my old truck finally. Sound quality is good. Finds and locks onto radio stations well. I am happy to have the USB and memory card ports. Overall it's decent, BUT... 1) The user interface is horrible. Pressing the home button presents you with a list of icons in a single row you have to scroll through. They don't hide the icons for things that aren't connected, and they could easily fit them all on one screen if they would tile them across multiple rows. 2) The volume gets reset back to factory defaults every time you stop/start the vehicle or turn off/on the unit. 3) There is a huge lag between the time you start turning the volume knob and when it starts adjusting the sound. There is plenty of room to put volume buttons either physically along the edge of the screen, or virtual buttons on the screen. Either one would work better than a knob anyway. 4) When playing songs via bluetooth, it does not display the song name, artist, etc. I know this info gets transmitted because my daughter's card displays that info. I know this unit is capable of displaying that info because it displays it for MP3s on the USB. 5) When playing MP3s from USB, every time you stop/start the car, all the UI settings for things like repeat, shuffle, etc. get reset back to factory defaults. 6) The display has a dim setting, but it is not tied to the dashboard lights and even in dim-mode, it is too bright for night driving.

Good Unit for the Money
Joseph from Queen Creek, AZ on 11/18/2017
2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Overall this unit works very well for the money. Adding the backup camera to the package makes the value of this purchase exceptional. Crutchfield emails instructions to you including instructions specific to your make and model of vehicle-dash breakdown and door breakdown for speakers. This was definitely an upgrade to the factory unit in my Ford F250 even using factory OEM speakers. Installation note-I surmise you have to connect the violet camera wire on the back of the Boss unit to backup light power. Use the red wire lead attached to the video cable. If not, you have to manually change your Boss unit to camera through menu options-it won't automatically switch to camera when you put the transmission in reverse. When I called support, I was told I didn't need to connect it. Not necessary, but it would have been nice. I am not going to pull the dash apart to fix it now.
Pros: Value of complete package-a lot of features for the money. Upgrade from OEM factory model. Includes backup camera.
Cons: Builtin blue tooth mic could be better-could be louder on other of phone. Rear view camera instructions leave a lot to be desired. Remote control only works if you position it directly in front of unit. Video cable supplied is about 3' short for a full size pickup installation.

Installed in a 2007 mustang to replace a factory radio that the led had stopped working. Pretty happy with it, lots of features for the price. I removed a star because there is a little static on the speakers when listening BT (phone and music). I had to place a call in to Crutchfield support on a late Saturday afternoon because it did not look like the Metra kit was going to fit over the receiver. Come to find out the outer most plastic on the radio comes off and then it fits like a glove (Thanks Nicole). I really appreciated that someone was available off hours. Also note that I purchased the pre-made wiring harness that they offered for $19 - Awesome... Simplified the install greatly.
Pros: Crutchfield support, quality for price, ease of installation

Awesome Purchase/Install Process
Crutchfield customer from Saint Johns, FL on 10/25/2017
2010 Ford F-150 XLT
The radio is great for the price. I can't be too positive about the Crutchfield support - they are fantastic. Always answer and they know me and the radio so long as I call from the number I gave them. Really helpful, and they have an ap that lets them SEE what I have done - when I give permission. Yes the rear camera video cable was too short for my F150 supercrew (I simply added an extension) some of the instructions for wiring the DVD brake switch and the camera itself could be more comprehensive. But even after a quick return of the radio due to a display issue (they overnighted a replacement and gave me a free return label) everything is great. I would recommend the radio but will ABSOLUTELY recommend getting equipment from Crutchfield. They made the experience AWESOME!
Pros: Crutchfield support, quality for price, ease of installation
Cons: short video cable and poor support from BOSS - better to use Crutchfield

SPOTTY/NO RADIO RECEPTION
Jenny from Roanoke, VA on 8/31/2017
2010 Volkswagen Jetta
Apparently this company will skimp on radio reception to add all these extras for cheaper. Cuts have to be made somewhere. I assumed quite the opposite thinking surely the radio would operate well. NOPE. The stations were not coming in well and two stations we listen to all the time (even on our cheap portable radio), not at all. The Bluetooth was nice & the touch screen convenient but if I had to guess, that touchscreen will burn out fast. This is a very cheap radio all and all. I suggest either upgrading to a better brand for extra money (or so) or "downgrading" like we did to a single din Kenwood with the basics, cd, Bluetooth calling, usb, etc that will probably last many years. There are so many "features" on this radio, it's too good to be true. Sound quality was also not so good. LUCKILY Crutchfield is a great company and set me up with a radio that fit my needs and quality requirements and sent me a label to return! Way to make an annoying situating better ASAP!
Pros: Touch Screen Looks Nice Bluetooth
Cons: Radio Reception Short Back Up Camera Wiring Questionable Sound Quality

Overall it's great for the price. My only real complaint is that it's not very responsive. When you turn the volume know for example, it take the unit a brief second to recognize that you're adjusting the volume. The touchscreen is also not the most responsive screen out there, but for the price I can't complain. The back up camera is nice as well, but the wiring that came with it is very cheap. Hardly any copper which made it a pain to work with. It's also pretty short, I had to get creative with the routing to make it actually reach the head unit. If you have a full size truck you're gonna a really hard time. Other than that, I'd recommend it for the price. It's actually a nice unit. I'm happy with it.

Awesome radio came with everything I wanted, at a very good price. Used Crutchfield's pre-wired service and it was good, everything plugged right in. Called with a tech. question and he had the answer right away and no problem understanding him. Shipping was fast and everything was in the box, no lost parts. And yes the radio looks good in the car..............THANKS
Pros: Looks good in the dash. Very easy to install Nice size touch screen
Cons: Doesn't give me the same control over the Mach 1000 audio system as stock radio had.

Did not in fact fit my 03 Expedition Eddie Bauer trim. The wiring will not preserve DVD sound. Will update if I can hack the wiring in, but will likely return or resell.

Looks great but a challenging install in my Subaru.
Pros: Has the features I wanted.
Cons: Instructions for camera vague. No options included for wiring for camera only if not intending to use as a video player. Still have not been able to get backup camera to work.

I would love to give you a review on my Boss BV765BLC but the extra length video cable you provided me came up about 1 1/2 feet short from connecting to the Unit , so now I have to find a electronic store to buy 2 or 3 foot extension video cable . As soon as I get my radio connected , I will let you know what I think about my new radio. As far as Crutchfield goes , I am a little disappointed with them for not providing with correct cables to do the job.
Pros: On paper , it sounds great
Cons: Haven't been able to install it yet
