Great radio

Does everything I wanted. Great CarPlay integration, it sounds as good if not better than my factory radio. The display is clear in all kinds of light. With the wiring harness I retained my steering wheel functions. It was easy to install and with the provided instructions and wiring service from Crutchfield there was no guess work. I did have to call for a quick question and that was answered with no problem and the tech found an issue before it became an issue and walked me thru the fix. Great radio and great company.

Great Results, 2008 Toyota Tacoma

Installed the BV800ACP in a 2008 Toyota Tacoma Sport. I must say I'm Totally surprised about how good this power head looks and sounds. I was expecting to have to do a speaker upgrade based on how the old unit sounded, but nope... this brought new life to the vehicles speakers. Even FM radio was so much better. I used the PAC interface to connect to the OEM harnesses. Also purchased the mic suggested in the kit and a separate USB charge and radio connect port made to fit a dash space in this truck. A few tips and observations: The mic is a bit big, but the voice sound quality is better than any vehicle we own, including the new Rover. The PAC has some harnesses you won't use... no worries, just connect what fits. The wiring diagram for the PAC is not perfect but the colors to connect to the radio's harness were spot on- just match them up. Set the DIP switches to Pioneer/other (thanks David at Crutchfield tech support for the quick answer.). The dash trim kit that came in the kit was not ideal for this radio. We used a different one that we ordered elsewhere. It had problems also but trimmed out better around the radio. We had to do a fair amount of Dremel work and some improvising to make it fit and mount securely. The steering wheel controls worked using the single analogue prong connector. This is not an install for a beginner, but I'm no expert either. Take your time, expect some improvising and pulling the unit in/out for fine adj

I am very happy with this Boss head. It was originally installed in a 2004 Camry and upon selling that car installed it in a 2009 Forester. The unit works great and the UX is intuitive. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because it's missing a 3.5mm aux port in the back. Instead it has RCA ports, meaning when you access the Aux interface you get a message saying the unit can't find a video signal. (My RCA ports are being fed audio by an external SirusXM head.)

The product arrived well packed. Instructions were easily understood and easy to follow. I purchased the dash kit, harness, and USB cable to fit my factory cable harness. Instructions on how to remove the old radio and console specific to my vehicle were provided making it even easier to DIY. Installation was really ea sy. Splicing the radio wires to the wife kit was a breeze. Instructions were provided for that as well. Everything thing that you need to install the radio and to maintain factory wiring made easy through Crutchfield. You will not be disappoin ed. The unit works well and my steering wheel control still works. Did not get the camera with this unit since i my vehicle already has one.Going to splice the video cable to my existing camera harness so I can have the backup screen on the unit a d read view mirror. Highly recommend.

Decent product

Cleans up pretty nice. Installation wasn't too hard. In my 07 F150, it was pretty simple after splicing a few wires . Although I was disappointed when I saw the frame not fit the radio screen as I thought it would. As well as the key colors not changing like they do in the review video that's attached. If you want a radio with multiple colors , do NOT buy this . It's solid blue. Other than that, the screens reaction time is pretty quick. Gives my speakers more of a crisp tone.

This is a great unit

This is a great unit. If anyone is looking for an upgrade and don't want to break the bank this is it. The best part is the overall size and the responsiveness. Sine the unit is shallower I didn't have to cut anything out the touch screen is incredibly responsive. Sound quality is far better than what I was expecting even with the Bose system that came with the truck. Also when I bought it I also purchased the RP5-GM11 along with there Harness Ready service making install easy. I also installed an aftermarket back up cam and everything work flawlessly.

Extremely disappointed

I was very excited to get this unit to replace the factory radio in my 2001 Pontiac Aztek. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The USB/Flash drive cable is woefully too short, I'll need to buy an adapter to make is useable. I also found the sound produced to be weak, the OEM radio producing far better sound. The unit also freezes up between stations or changing settings. Then, when it's not freezing, the radio scans continuously. I finally powered down the unit, but it apparently didn't like being shut down and started playing random stations - with the display off! I couldn't adjust the volume, change the settings etc. And all this with the unit being powered up for the first 10 minutes of its life.

Great radio with apple car play. install was easy and looks nice. Sounds great using factory amp and subwoofers 2007 mustang with mach 500. Only complaint I have is with the tuner. it does not show the preset channels. unless you hit another button. Crutchfield was great to work with. I had ordered a radio that could not turn on my subs. I talked to tech support and sales and got the radio I needed. Exchange was quick and easy.

Great features!

Does everything it says it does and more. Integrated seamlessly with OEM functions, which is saying a lot with a GM vehicle as a lot runs through the radio. I was even able to match the color of the lighting to the dash lighting for an OEM appearance. Integration with an aftermarket backup camera is perfect, and unlike other manufacturers who put a nanny on their backup cameras, you can view the rear camera while moving forward to monitor a trailer or pull through a parking spot.

Perfect fit for 2013 Subaru Crosstrek

The Boss head unit was a perfect fit (2013 CrossTrek) and the installation instructions were easy to follow and correct. The only step that was missing was how to disconnect the temperature and air flow cables to remove the center panel, but that was easy to find on YouTube. Shopping for all the required components for installation could not have been easier. Crutchfield's online system automatically lists the recommended components for your vehicle. The sound is great, the Apple Car Play is perfect. I could not be happier. I will update this post with pictures when I get them taken

Great product for the price! As others state, it's slow to start up but not really a problem for me. I really liked that it has two USB inputs in the rear which few seem to have. As always, Crutchfield customer service is phenomenal. The first unit I received had a bum apple CarPlay usb. Was shipped a replacement overnight (only live an hour from them). Unfortunately, the second unit had a bum USB input as well. Bad luck. Again, no questions asked, shipped a third which works flawlessly. Incredibly happy with the unit because it got me CarPlay which is what I wanted. I really didn't have too many other requirements because I can't hear much in my Jeep when moving anyway. Install was a breeze.

Affordable Upgrade with Apple Car Play

I purchased the Boss BV800ACP for a 2004 Honda Pilot LX with navigation to get Apple Car Play. Crutchfield recommended the Scosche HA 1703B install kit, the Metra 70-1721 wire harness and the Axxess ASWC-1 steering wheel control adaptor. I pulled the stock head unit and the nav display and installed the Boss into the upper slot where the nav display was installed. The Scosche kit didn't work because the face frame was too small and there were gaps between the head unit and the dash molding. Also, the Scosche tray was not wide enough to fill the head unit space. I went online and bought the Metra 95-7861 install kit (which fit perfectly), a Batige dual port USB adaptor (which fit in the original AUX power hole with some widening) and two Honda trays (which required some trimming but fit in the original head unit space). The Pilot has an amplified antenna which was not covered in the wiring instructions but Crutchfield support had that fixed in under 2 minutes. I also had some issues with the ASWC-1 not recognizing the Boss unit but Boss support helped fix that by resetting the ASWC-1. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the performance, fit and cost of the receiver and Car Play works great. The physical install was easy thanks to great instructions and support by Crutchfield and Boss. Minor issues with the Boss unit controls and the ill-fitting Scoshe face plate resulted in the one star deduction. I would have deducted only a half-star if that option

DO NOT BUY THIS HEAD UNIT. I put this in a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I'm on my second unit and now the rear speakers aren't working. Go to turn on the fader to help debug the issue - no fader controls, no balance controls. Talked to support tonight - they can't find it either. Between all the issues I've had with this thing I've had the dash apart no less than 30 times. So now I own a head unit with no fader, no balance and the rear Kicker speakers won't work in the sound bar, so who's to say it ain't flipping software... Let's see what tech support comes up with this time...

Boss BV800ACP - review

This is an inexpensive and well-featured unit. The sound quality is good, but obviously is dependent upon your speakers. Bluetooth pairing is quick and easy as one might expect, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both work flawlessly. The microphone is a bit large, however.. but the cord is suitably long so you can find an out-of-the-way place to put it. All in all, I strongly recommend this unit for people who want good sound but aren't over the top.

Great Unit, Great Price! Great Service from Crutchfield.

Awesome unit, especially for the price. All the features you could want and works flawlessly. Bluetooth connection or Apple CarPlay. Interface seems a little clumsy at first but didn't take long to figure it out. Good power for my Jeep with the top off, paired with Polk DB series speakers in the dash and sound bar. Also added the Kicker Hideaway powered sub and the sound is awesome now. No problems hearing it on the highway now! Crutchfield is awesome with the recommended install gear and instructions. Didn't have to run out to get anything during the install! First time anything has gone that smooth for me. I will never go anywhere else.

Radio is excellent. Wiring diagrams were a little confusing. Cleared up after speaking with rep. PAC unit did not hold wire clips in and had to zip tie them up as previous reviews suggested. Also Boss radio not listed for Pac setting. Again, rep recommended Sony setting and all functions worked perfectly. Steering wheel controls worked too!

Not good

The backup camera displays a huge "CHECK SURROUNDINGS BEFORE BACKING UP" banner that is not possible to turn off or make smaller or anything. This alone is very annoying, since it takes up a portion of the screen that would allow you to see further down the road. The radio doesn't give you an option of saving favorites on the radio home, so if you want to change stations you have to go to the list, scroll up or down and then press on the station you want. They added more steps on something that has been standard on car radios since I don-t even know how long. The FM radio also hisses constantly. The unit takes forever to start, and when it does is sometimes turns off for a couple of seconds (this is a very big issue since most times it happens when I'm using the backup camera).

Great Head Unit

Honestly a refreshing change for my 2005 Toyota Tacoma. Very seamless transition from phone-to-head unit connection either via Apple Play or Bluetooth. The only caveat to my experience is how the head unit processes phone calls/Siri/speech to text volume; whenever I make/receive phone calls, or have Siri read out my messages, the volume drops way below what I set it to while listening to music prior to these actions.

Well Worth It

I've had this installed for a couple weeks now and it is working great. There is only one annoyance I have, but it isn't a show stopper. I would like to setup what starts up when the unit boots up, but as far as I can tell, I can't change it from starting up with the radio on. Also, I noticed that some people had mentioned that the home screen can't be configured. That would be nice, but I am finding that I just ignore the things I never use. Other than that, I am enjoying the Android Auto and other little features that I use often. I don't have a rear or forward cameras, so I don't use those features. I'm sure they work great, like everything else.

This is an easy to install radio. Things to like: intuitive menu selection, attractive, excellent options. Things that frustrate: hard to change volume (it is not a button, and there is no remote), it defaults to a low volume (it is not intuitive how to default to a higher volume. I prefer a high volume and to control with my phone ... since there is no remote. I am glad i purchased this radio, the drawbacks are minor. Thanks to Crutchfield, my install looks professional and, as always, it worked perfect the first time.

The touch screen on this is very nice and very responsive, it is also very bright during the day and dims down nicely during the night as to not distract the driver over very happy with this head unit and my over all experience shopping with Crutchfield very nice they they give you everything that you need to put this together from plugs and wires to mounting brackets
