    How do I adjust the brightness, I cant read the screen at all in the day time?

    A
    Greetings Nicholas, and thank you for your question. The Boss 480BRGB does not have a brightness adjustment, sorry to say. Seeing as you just got this from Crutchfield, and we have the 60 day satisfaction guaranty, you can return it, or exchange it for another that can be adjusted.

    Q
    Can this radio work with a backup camera?
    bradster444  Oct 20, 2022
    1 answer
    A
    This cannot sadly, Bradley. Since the Boss 480BRGB has no touchscreen, it has no inputs for a camera. Depending on your vehicle, you may be able to use this Boss BV755BLC DVD receiver in the link below. This fits a similar size to the 480BRGB and most likely will work in your ride if the 480BRGB was a fit. This Boss touchscreen comes with a camera included free with the radio, pretty sweet! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_104BV755BL/Boss-BV755BLC.html

    Q
    I don't want to change the stock wood grain on my Avalon and I found a trim piece that is 173mm by 98 mm so would this fit, if not what other options would you consider that would fit that?
    mj321408  Oct 05, 2022
    1 answer
    A
    The section at this front of this unit that would fit into a trim ring is 173.355mm x 97.028mm. That said, it sounds as though the trim piece you've found is designed specifically for double-DIN radios such as the Boss 480BRGB, so it is likely that it would work well. For further help with this project, please give our advisors a call at 1-800-324-9695.

    Is there a way that the clock can stay displayed rather than the song title,artist, etc.?
    geraa  May 16, 2022
    1 answer
    A
    The manual only references displaying the clock by pressing the clock button and does not mention a way to make it display by any other means. It does not appear this receiver is able to use the clock as the default display. We offer other radios that can and recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation

    Well I can't answer your question but I will say steer clear of this unit. I had had mine for maybe a month and a half and it became possessed. I would be listening to music from my phone and it would switch to AV with the volume on full blast and static. Then it would switch to AM same way then something else. I ended up replacing it with a pioneer. The price is low for a reason. It's trash.

    This after market Radio use the same amount of wattage as the stock Radio. You might need to buy a different wire Harness, because the one your vehicle comes with probably won't fit.

    Q
    I have a 2000 Camaro with factory Monsoon sound (6 main speakers). The speakers have long since been changed and in recent years I removed the factory amp and wired the 2 rear most speakers in parallel with the 2 middle speakers when bypassing it. I have since replaced the front 4 speakers with RF16s at 4 ohms a piece. One of my rearmost speakers is rattling. I recently purchased this head unit and am trying to decide to whether to A. completely delete the rearmost speakers (as I've hear many do), B. upgrade them to RF4s at 4 ohms a piece keeping the wiring the same (will this receiver handle it? will it sound good?). I don't want to damage the new unit. The surround effect of the extra speakers is cool, but if it's better to run without them I will.

    Just replace bad speaker, this unit you will fine will not handle much power drain from using USB port of front panel, unit will go dead, if this happens remove one connection from vechile battery wait a few minutes reconnect the radio will come back on, not a Bose but Boss knock off version but good warranty.

    I have this same head unit and yes I believe it can handle it. Now it's up to you weather or not you want to have that extra sound or with them. My personally, surround sound car stereos are the best.

    We don't carry the OEM harnesses, however we carry the harnesses that adapt to your factory harness to keep you from cutting into factory wires. We would need to know more specific information about your car to recommend the harness you need to make that radio work in your Jetta.

    No,but while a few colors are very bright others are pretty dim. It was in my daughter's car and didn't bother her (she actually liked the 'party' setting where it continuously scrolled through the diff colors - ugh) but I like my dash very dim at night and dont think I would have liked it. Otherwise great for what it was for the price.

    I would recommend a higher quality stereo that supports crossover and in-depth EQ, it would be a much better investment in the long run in my opinion. Especially with subs in your car, you would want to be able to have a set frequency range for each speaker, this would allow you to get a much better quality sound as well as the ability to play music much louder with less distortion if set up properly. From my experience, this stereo only lasted me a year and had a lot of clipping at higher volumes. I know this doesn't answer your question, but in all honesty you get what you pay for and a good stereo is the foundation of a good sound system. Also, if you input your vehicle year/make/model into the website it will tell you whether or not it is compatible as well as suggest wiring kits designed for your vehicle.

    Q
    After installing this car stereo with the ReadyHarness. My battery has been draining. Took it to the mechanic, and he said that there is a significant 400mA draw from the battery. Since Boss stereo is the only thing I have changed in the car, have you had any experience with new radios draining the battery? The diagnostics are going to cost far more than the stereo itself.

    I have had no problem with it. Maybe there was something with the installation. When the car is turned off the stereo should not have any power. I would go back through it with the instructions and check everything is according to the instructions otherwise your drain may be from something else.

    Hi Carl, thank you for your question. Boss has not published the FM Sensitivity on their stereos. The owners manual does show a usable sensitivity rating of 30dBu, but does not have any information on the femtowatts. I suggest contacting Boss to gather further information on that rating. Most car audio receivers offer around 8-10 dBf on their FM sensitivity rating. You may reach Boss at 800-999-1236.

    They should have something on the crutchfield website that says if it fits your vehicle. Mine personally did not quite fit the center piece of my crown Victoria so I had to do some additional cutting to get it to fit. Best of luck!

    Not sure you will have to check their website. However I would not recommend this vehicle for that car. I own a 2011 Chevrolet Impala with the Bose sound system. Spend a couple extra dollars and get a better radio. This radio is more generic and does what it is supposed to do but in no way is it a high-end radio.
