Switching screens takes many taps
Alex from COLUMBUS, OH on 7/7/2025
My original review was that the unit is decent and everything works as designed. Now having spent a year or so working with it, it does have some annoying characteristics. These all center around navigation between screens. If you are using Waze or another GPS app and using the screen to display the map, to change the radio station requires four screen touches just to get to the radio control, then there is the selection of station, then three more taps to get back to Waze. This is not safe when you're driving. There should be either a way to program a "quick access" icon or a faster way to get to the radio control. I do not have steering wheel controls. I'm aware most of today's vehicles probably do have steering wheel controls. I installed this in a 2015 Chevy Silverado, and I lost the temperature display and the seat belt light on my dash due to the interface module that is required. I do still hear the chime so sometimes I have to figure out what is causing the warning.
Pros: Works well, apple carplay functional with cable.
Cons: Too many screens to navigate for simple operations.

Great product for the money. Nota bad little unit. Nice easy install with the kit that Crutchfield provides works like a dream
Pros: Budget friendly
Cons: CarPlay doesn't work if you have a iPhone 15 or newer. It would be nice if these had a usb-c port

Hard pass!
Crutchfield customer from MILL CREEK, IN on 6/20/2025
2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
I bought this due to decent reviews, price, and the feature set I wanted. I specifically wanted wired Android Auto, because I didn't want to have to deal with wireless connection problems. Well, that's solved, zero wireless connection problems, but the wired connection is worse than any wireless issues I've seen. I have spent probably 10 hours on researching, tweaking settings on the phone and radio, doing master resets, buying ultra short data cables...and it still repeatedly drops the wired Android Auto connection. It doesn't matter how much signal strength you have, where you're located, or if you use a different phone, constant cutting out. Screen goes black, you get a loud beep, an "Unsupported USB" message, and it will usually restart itself. If you're in the middle of navigating with Maps or Waze, forget it, you just passed your turn. I've contacted Boss "Help" and done everything they've suggested with zero results. Now they say they sent it to their "R &D" Department, and I haven't heard anything since. Doing internet searches shows that this is a pretty common problem, and has been for at least a couple of years. Come on Boss, it's WIRED Android Auto, not the Space Shuttle! I specifically bought this for Android Auto, and I paid extra to have Crutchfield prewire the harness. It looks like I'm going to be out my purchase price, plus the extra harness, because Boss can't figure out a simple wired connection. I need a system that works!
Pros: Decent sound, Bluetooth streaming works well if that's all you need
Cons: Useless wired Android Auto!

Great Unit and Great Service!!
JEFFREY from Riverview, FL on 6/1/2025
2016 Hyundai Veloster
Installed into my 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. I wanted a Carplay unit and I chose this one for the price and high Crutchfield ratings. After 2 weeks of use, I am very happy with this Boss unit. Easy to navigate and the interface has a quick enough response time. I also purchased the PAC interfaces that allow for the use of my stock Dimension audio package (OE amplifier and sub) and steering wheel controls. I also purchased the Crutchfield ReadyHarness service so I didn't have to solder anything. One issue I had was that my backup camera wasn't popping up on the screen when I put the car in reverse. A couple calls to Crutchfield tech support helped. I had to hard wire the stereo's reverse wire into a wire in my dash the tech identified. Other than that minor hiccup, I am very happy with my setup!! All steering wheel controls are retained. I installed (4) PowerBass OE-675 2-ohm speakers as well. This setup sounds great with the stock amp and sub. Thanks Crutchfield. Yet another successful car audio package for me!
Pros: -Price -Interface
Cons: You lose the fader option.

Great company
George from Cygnet, OH on 6/1/2025
2011 Ford F-350
Was looking for a stereo after a few years of thinking about it. This is what I decided on and it was a definite upgrade! Install was pretty straight forward with the wiring harness service offered. If you are color blind like me, it's a great idea. I did have to splice a RCA male for the backup camera. My original mounting screws were to short also. Jody was my contact when I called into Crutchfield with questions and he was able to walk me through everything. He knew exactly what i needed for my truck. He put my order together, took the payment and that was it! Truth be told, it was a pleasure to work with a company with excellent customer service as there are a lot of stereo choices out there and the pieces and part that you will need. Great job Crutchfield!
Pros: Great sound without breaking the bank
Cons:

Great until it wasn't
Kylr from Salt Lake City, UT on 5/31/2025
2008 Volkswagen Jetta
Bought this for my 2008 Jetta in January 2022. Honestly it was a huge upgrade and it served its purpose well. However, for the past month or so the apple carplay keeps disconnecting and when it does connect, it freezes the entire system. I have to either turn my car off for about 30 seconds or hit the reset button on the front (so glad it is in the front) which then deletes all of my tuning settings. With it freezing though it is super annoying as it is useless until I reset it. I went back into the dashboard to check the wiring and everything looks good so not sure why this is happening but I will likely be looking for something more reliable. I was hoping this would outlive the Jetta but it did not.
Pros: Looks good, sounds good, easy to navigate
Cons: Freezes system when I plug in my phone

The radio is great. It doesn't quite fit in the dash opening, but it's close. Instructions were good. I did Youtube how to remove the trim. However it has great sound and it functions how you would expect. Getting it prewired is a must. Was literally plug and play.
Pros: Sound is great, screen is great, installation was easy
Cons: It's not as "clean" as I would have liked. You can tell it's aftermarket

Problems with Unit But Excellent Customer Service
Baylor from ALBUQUERQUE, NM on 5/11/2025
2017 Honda Fit EX
I bought and installed the BOSS BE7ACP (basic model) and installed into my 2017 Honda Fit EX. It was harder than expected since I wanted to keep my factory backup camera and wanted to be able to use my steering wheel controls (SWC). I literally had to slice and dice the super small wires to the factory SWC and backup camera with at least 2 call-backs to Crutchfield. They were fantastic. Once installed the unit I purchased had an issue with the CarPlay, but Crutchfield sent me a new one to replace it. Excellent customer service which is why my review is a 5-star.
Pros: Not only did customer service communicated with me over the phone, they sent pictures (not just diagrams) since I've a visual learner. Anything told to me goes out one ear and out the other!
Cons: The unit I purchased, BOSS BE7ACP is the base model and had a problem with it. Crutchfield acted quickly and sent me a replacement after I went through all the troubleshooting steps to confirm it was the unit.

Not Reliable
Emma from THONOTOSASSA, FL on 5/11/2025
2003 Ford F-150
I got this radio in December 2024, and it worked great for about 2 months, and then it would continuously disconnect from Apple CarPlay randomly. I couldn't get 5 minutes in without it disconnecting and sometimes randomly rebooting. I even got a replacement radio in April, thinking it could've been just a fluke that one of them had. I currently have the iPhone 16 Pro and was told that using Anker cables would fix my issue due to my newer phone, but that did not work either. I was disappointed that I paid $200 for this and had this outcome.
Pros: Nice and simple when worked
Cons: no consistency with Apple CarPlay working

Do Not Buy For CarPlay
Neil from CELINA, TX on 5/2/2025
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
I purchased this radio in 2022 to add Carplay to my truck. After upgrading to the iPhone 16 and iOS 18.3, 18.4, the Apple CarPlay stopped working. The manufacture does not have a solution to restore CarPlay functionality. I would not suggest anyone purchase this if you have a newer iPhone and the most recent iOS software.
Pros: Great sound Easy to Use Easy to read Works with steering wheel controls
Cons: CarPlay connection doesn't work with newer versions of iPhone software

Guest from MINNEAPOLIS, MN on 4/22/2025
I installed this in my 2010 Subaru Impreza in 2023. It worked well for the first 2 years with ok sound quality. I almost exclusively used the Apple CarPlay to use Spotify and Google maps. It's user-friendly and easy to connect to CarPlay via cord and also to Bluetooth. However, in the last 3 months the unit has stopped working properly. (Maybe due to extreme cold in Minnesota). It started off by sometimes not turning on the screen, but with the cord it would still play music. This happened about 1 year into use. Recently it's gotten worse. When I try to adjust the volume, it would completely shut off about 1 minute later. It started shorting out when I would be cruising at highway speeds for 3 minutes. Sometimes it will reboot its self and come back on, but usually not. It randomly decides to work some days with short trips, although the volume is now so quiet I can barely hear it, and when I try to adjust the volume it does not respond but rather shuts off. I looked at the wiring and everything is still well connected. I've grown tired of the unreliable features and am in the process of replacing it. If you are just looking for a quick fix, this will work but do not expect it to last for years. *not purchased through Crutchfield, but my replacement is*

Install was made very easy with the ready harness service. Looks great in my '03 Sierra. Only issue is the Apple Car Play/Android Auto Dongle, which exits out the rear of the unit. Had to purchase the Scosche PowerVolt Dash Mount, replaced my factory 12v plug with the dash mount, allowing for access to Android Auto while maintaining professional look. Not necessary, could have run the dongle out through the bottom of the dash, but definitely looks better with the dash mount.
Pros: Easy Install Great Screen Clarity
Cons: Apple Car Play/Android Auto Dongle exits rear of unit, requires a USB extender to be installed for a professional look.

Just ok. Not the best of 2025.
Jeffrey from WILKESBORO, NC on 4/9/2025
2018 Ford F-150 XLT
The stereo seems to be of decent quality. Since I've installed 2 days ago, the one 2 complaints that I have with the radio are these. #1. Volume buttons stopped working and would only cut off sound when turned to 0. Read about this happening and reset the radio back to factory. This fixed it. Kind of worried this happened so fast. #2. My factory back up camera 4.2 inch Sync display on our 2018 F150 was much brighter but also much smaller. The brightness is very dim when in reverse and you get the "caution' banner at the top every time you put into reverse. Kind of annoying. I have the brightness turned up all the way. Maybe that's what I get for buying a $200 radio instead of a $300-$400 radio. Or for buying BOSS over the other higher end brands. Overall though, it's much better than my factory radio and my speakers are much louder and clearer at a lower volume.
Pros: Cheap, sub output, touchscreen works good.
Cons: Back up camera is very dim and dark. Needs to be much brighter. Its terrible in low light conditions.

Not Worth The Frustration
Tina from BUCKLEY, WA on 4/8/2025
I purchased this in March of 2024 and starting around August 2024 it's developed some irritating issues. The buttons have stopped working entirely, can't control volume or power. While driving, it will randomly reboot itself or just shut off entirely. Sometimes, it doesn't even power on when the car is turned on. Now I have checked and rechecked the wiring, fuses, etc... this radio still behaves this way. I've tried using the reset button, this does nothing but a quick power cycle. I wouldn't waste your money on this one.
Pros: When working correctly, I loved the simplicity. It doesn't have a bunch of extra features. Fit exactly what I wanted, Bluetooth and Radio capabilities with a decent screen.
Cons: Buttons stopped working, powers off randomly, powers on randomly, reset button does not work, audio settings don't fix anything either (set default bluetooth volume to MAX and adjust volume using my phone, instead it just gets quieter and quieter every time I turn my car on). Too expensive for how many issues I've ran into.

Good enough for a Daily Driver
Cole from OGDEN, UT on 3/13/2025
2007 Hyundai Sonata
I've owned this stereo for about four months and it's great for the price. There were very few problems associated with the unit itself, though it's still not exceptional. Installation went smoothly due in part to Crutchfield's vehicle specific instructions. It took me about 2 hours start to finish and I'd give it a 4/10 difficulty install on my 2007 Sonata. If it wasn't for the iDatalink Maestro I needed for the SWC it would've taken half the time. DO NOT buy the iDatalink Maestro; save up and get a higher end SWC adapter. Audio quality is a noticeable upgrade, with bass in particular being way better. Music was clear and actually quite great considering my speakers were original. Calls needed to be turned up a lot and I had to speak straight towards the included microphone to be heard easily. The integrated amp is definitely NOT a 320W unit, but it's got more then enough juice for stock-ish setups. The software was simple yet easy to use. Obviously there are units with more in depth software, but the BOSS felt like it had the right amount of depth and simplicity. Display, audio, and general settings were all easy and intuitive to use. Android Auto worked great, although the USB would occasionally disconnect when jostled around. The USB needed for Android Auto barely charged my phone 15% over two hours. Overall, I quite enjoyed this head unit. While not meant for serious setups, it's great for a mostly stock setup in a daily driver or beater. Well
Pros: Improved audio quality with stock speakers Intuitive yet simple software Touchscreen works great Night time brightness is great Unbeatable price
Cons: USB connection occasionally dropped when jostled The screen isn't bright enough with almost any sunlight No anti-glare coating Touchscreen smudges extremely easily USB needed for Android Auto barely charges my S24

"Skip track" button on the steering wheel control won't work. Will not skip to the next radio station or digital music track. Radio automatically, every 4 ish mins, goes on a scan for a radio station. But skips over every single one with a signal, including the programmed/saved ones and lands right back on the station that was playing. I'll be returning this once I figure how to unlock my account.

Great, but lacks in reliability
Xiric from WELLTON, AZ on 2/11/2025
2002 Volvo S60
It's so so, I've had it installed now 2 years, and honestly a great stereo for the price, it's got enough tuning ability paired with a good 4ch amp, but frequently having brick issues where the screen will black out, and take no input, all I can do is turn the car off and on to cycle the power, tends to do the trick, but is frustrating and not so fun when I can't view my maps, or listen to my music, I spent a few thousand dollars on my setup went all out on speakers amps sub, but unfortunately I may have gotten as bare bones as it gets for Apple car play stereos.
Pros: Great, good output, solid design and UI decent eq.
Cons: Very "bricks", tends to opt out of taking input, hard to reset, not reliable.

Kevin from Mount Vernon, OH on 2/7/2025

Easy install. Great product. Crutchfield makes it so easy to put in these aftermarket car stereos. My son (16) was going to buy this stereo from Amazon or something and I started to check it out before he made the purchase. He wasn't going to get everything he needed for this to go well and look good. So, I asked him if he had heard of Crutchfield, which he hadn't and I told him back in the day when I was his age this is where everyone would go for the quality stuff. So, I found the same stereo with Crutchfield and it was super smooth to get everything at a one stop shop. Especially the pre-wired harness, which is well worth the money. Good stuff, glad this is still going on. Quality and great customer service keeps businesses going. Keep it up.

Great budget receiver for your (older) car!
Michael from ROCHELLE, IL on 1/25/2025
2004 Pontiac Sunfire
I ordered this as a Christmas present for my son's 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, so that he would be able to make "handsfree" phone calls and have Apple Carplay. I typically order stereo equipment from brands like Alpine and JVC, but I didn't want to spend too much as this is a 20 year old vehicle. I knew there was a slight risk that the receiver wouldn't be a nice as what I'm used to. I will say that I am satisfied after all. This stereo is pretty darn nice and the price was reasonable. I mounted the microphone on the steering column aimed directly at the driver. The sound quality of phone calls is good. The Apple CarPlay works well. If you are looking for a reasonably priced receiver for your older vehicles, this might be perfect for you.
Pros: Reasonably priced. Apple Carplay works well. Features an EQ and subwoofer volume control.
Cons: Doesn't have the smooth feel of a high end brand such as Alpine.

04-08 F150 Works flawlessly. Combined with Metra 95-5812 (cut-off 4 rear tabs, do not use extra spacers, use stock screws). You have to remove the little frame around the radio if using the Metra 95-5812. Choose the option for Crutchfield to pre-wire your harness. I used a rear camera & front camera, this has RCA jacks for both. Note 1 : Parking Brake wire (Light Green/Red) is attached to Parking Brake switch (above parking brake); you have to peel off some tough electrical tape. Crutchfield supplies these awesome posilock connectors. Note 2: Reverse wire (Dark Green/Yellow) is passenger kick panel, top portion of fuse box, there is a good YouTube video from a dude showing the location. Crutchfield MasterSheet instructions says Driver's Kick panel - but that is wrong. Also take the time to order a double USB charger, this unit has two USB outs, one for Apple Car Play/Charging & one for charging.

Great upgrade for my 2009 Corolla. I bought this for the Apple Carplay and for a back up camera. Works great, easy to install. Glad it came with the DIN kit and that I opted for the harness wiring done by Crutchfield. Save me lots of time and great value!

For the cost this is a great head unit and I've had no issue with mine at all. I have one in two different vehicles. My only suggested improvement would be the size of the volume buttons, they are hard to find quickly, but if you have steering wheel controls you hardly have to use them.
Pros: Easy to use Good screen quality Default startup volume levels.
Cons: Size of volume buttons

Honestly this thing sucked. It kept turning off and on randomly and the picture was awful no matter how much I edited the display settings. I didn't even care about the sound at that point because it just stopped working randomly. Maybe I got a fault one but I got a JVC and it was 10000% better. Pay the extra money for the JVC it's much better.

William from Hillsborough, NC on 12/10/2024
2016 Honda Fit EX-L
This unit has provided everything I wanted and has been a worth upgrade to the OEM radio that came with the car. The amplifier is clear, FM/AM station signals are strong, wired connection to CarPlay is stable and reliable. I was able to connect to the camera already installed in the car and I was able to keep steering wheel control. All of the documentation provided by Crutchfield was excellent. I was able to put most of the wiring together in my house before I tried to install. There are a couple downsides: * The radio is not an exact fit for the bezel so there is a bit of a gap and the removable trim can't fit with the radio in place. Crutchfield customer care has sent me something that might work to fill the gaps - waiting for its arrival. * Moving the brackets to get the best fit was a bit of trial and error as well. There are several hole combinations and the drawing by the manufacturer wasn't super clear. * Wiring the reverse line and the brake signal were also unexpectedly difficult but not impossible. Because the reverse line had to be accessed at the fuse box under the steering wheel I had a lot of trouble getting a good angle to work with it. In the end I had to guess which wire it was and luckily I got it on the first try. The brake line was easier but I still had to fish a wire under the cup holder from the emergency brake lever. Installation took longer than I wanted but given the price and the excellent Customer Service, it was worth i

I am very satisfied with the Boss BE7ACP receiver. I would suggest to all that purchase anything from Crutchfield especially the interface harness, to get the Ready Harness pre wired from Crutchfield. Its worth every cent and makes the install a lot easier. for me it was the first time in years I installed a stereo with concerns about all the wiring. I want to thank Caesar, Dakota, Marc, Wolf and Dexter for all the assistance I got when I needed help with a few hurdles that I came across. All of them helped so much and if I forgot anyone, thanks so much. I would recommend 100%

I needed a new touch screen radio for my wife's 2025 Chevy Sonic. I've never used Crutchfield before it was a great experience. The radio was easy to remove and this one went in fairly smoothly. I had Crutchfield build the wiring harness so it was completely plug and play. I also bought the interface module so I retained all the important functions: chimes, favorite channels, back-up camera, steering wheel radio controls, blue tooth. I had a few questions during the installation and Crutchfield technical assistance was easy to contact and quick with the answers. The installation kit makes the radio look factory installed. I would recommend this radio to family.
Pros: Easy installation using the pre-made harness from Crutchfield and the recommended installation kit.
Cons: It does not display the temperature.

The muliti volume levels on this thing can be a pain. It took me a while to figure out. The first unit went bad, and crutchfield replaced. I had resort the volume controls out again. Either I have had two bad batties in the truck, or this thing is always draining my truck, I'm not sure. Its low end. I works, but I wish I had spent more money.

Not Bad At All
Joshua from Chico, CA on 10/3/2024
I've historically used Sony for my head units, but I wanted to see what these cheaper Boss units were like given the amount of good reviews. So far it's going pretty well. Installation was easy enough with the help of tech support. And even though I retained the usage of the factory amp, the sound quality is vastly improved over the stock h/u. Android Auto works well. The only two downsides I can think of are: 1) No rotary volume knob. This isn't a huge deal, but it is a preference, and it is getting harder to find a h/u that has a rotary knob. 2) The charging speed when my phone is plugged into the unit is very slow when compared to my other cars with Android Auto via USB connection, but it still charges, so that's fine. One more thing that I had an issue with that wasn't actually related to the h/u was the steering control adapter just didn't work despite being hooked up correctly, so I took it out. I only use the volume control on the steering wheel anyway, so not a big loss.
Pros: Price, Screen Size, Multiple USB Inputs
Cons: No rotary volume knob.

Doesn't play to my speakers.
Giovanni from CAPE CORAL, FL on 9/16/2024
Head unit looks good and connects pretty quick. Seems reactive enough. Although I ordered the ready wire harness and was forced to pay for other things that I did not need. The one thing I was forced to pay for that I did need didn't come in. This was a pin to remove the factory radio and caused me to break it since I didn't have proper tools to remove it. The wire harness is supposed to be plug and play. Although when plugged in I have no audio going to my speakers. Customer support tried to help but didn't do anything. Haven't been able to get the audio to work for my speakers and probably going to have to pay someone to figure it out. Not only did I pay almost 400$ for everything but it doesn't work. And I have no factory radio as I wasn't provided proper tools.
Pros: Looks good
Cons: No audio, missing items, paid for things not needed, still don't have a working radio and may need to pay again for installation.

Dave from Thousand Oaks, CA on 8/20/2024
First Crutchfield is great. First unit no audio, swapped for another. Second unit seemed ok at first but camera inputs stoped working, no idea why. Tried different camera, checked voltages, continuity and multiple resets. Junk system, I'd stay away from anything Boss.
Pros: It worked for a month.
Cons: Screen resolution really low, colors 'off' like muted. Seems to have issues with quality and reliability. Overall junk.

Perfect for Jeep Wrangler 2010
Miles from Fairfax, VA on 8/18/2024
2010 Jeep Wrangler
I LOVE this stereo! I bought this for my sisters who got a new Jeep to go to school and the original stereo had no reverse camera, or Bluetooth for their devices. I picked up this stereo from Crutchfield after getting recommendations off Reddit, and I have to say, I am beyond impressed. This stereo has been a life changer for me and my sisters. The CarPlay is essential for driving, especially when you want to play your favorite music or access maps without having to pick up your phone. The reverse camera is one of my favorite features as I've been experimenting with the customizable reverse lines, since the built-in reverse lines aren't accurate on my reverse camera. I tested out the audio quality and it sounded great. Huge shout out to Anthony from the Crutchfield tech-support team for helping me out with the wiring. I had an issue where the other speakers weren't working and he helped guide me through wiring each one and figured out the issue for me quickly. Because of Anthony Crutchfield has now earned my full support and a customer for life.
Pros: Front and rear camera support Adjustable reverse lines Easy wiring with convenient labels High quality screen and microphone Quick connection to CarPlay Automatically shows reverse camera when vehicle is put in reverse Dedicated power for cameras Lots of audio settings including internal amp and EQ LED buttons for easy use at night
Cons: No option to switch to front camera when reversing No physical button to quickly go to Home Screen, must use the CarPlay app icon Takes about 10 to 20 seconds to boot up Touch screen sensitivity and response time isn't the best

Chris from Montrose, CA on 7/29/2024
2004 Honda Element
The unit is great, it's exactly what this vehicle (Honda Element) needs. It looks very OEM. Thanks to the Crutchfield supplied harness and brackets/bezel the prep and fitting were seamless. There was an issue on power up; no sound. I called Crutchfield technical service and he offered up a solution which worked, very helpful. The solution was to connect the BLUE/WHITE remote line in the harness (not from the unit) to the RED accessory power line, apparently 500mA (BLUE/WHITE) is insufficient to start the Honda amplifier. Supper happy with my purchase and experience with Crutchfield. They've been around forever and it shows.
Pros: Simple installation. Seamless result.
Cons: Minor glitch in the wiring - Crutchfield helped me solve the problem.

PIECE OF JUNK
David from Horsham, PA on 7/17/2024
1998 Ford Econoline
Piece of junk. Don't but this. I thought I would try Boss Audio because it had the features I wanted at a very reasonable price. My first defective unit would randomly change functions, loose memory, or just stop working. Crutchfield was great and got me a fast replacement. But the replacement unit had no sound from the rear speakers. My vehicle is a camper van so I only use the unit when in the front seat. So I just decided to live with it. I'm sick of dealing with this and taking apart my dash. To make things even worst the dash adapters are cheap and poorly designed so once the radio is snapped into the dash it cannot be removed without removing the entire dash panel. To be clear, I have purchased several car audio systems for many vehicles and have always been happy with Crutchfield products and service, until now. Wanted to warn people about this piece of Junk.
Pros: Reasonable price, nice features, good sound.
Cons: Its Broken

It's Fine
Terez Ashley from ATLANTA, GA on 6/19/2024
2016 Subaru Outback
Took two stars away because the system tone noise is a default and turns on every time I start the car no matter how many times I turn it off. It gets annoying. The car play port stops working sometimes and the phone ends up auto connecting to the Bluetooth instead. Lastly the screen is kinda small compared to the display the car came with. Other than that it serves a purpose, the install was kind of difficult but the customer service was extremely helpful. If you need a quick solution then I would recommend this. But if you can invest in something a bit more user friendly I'd suggest doing that instead.

Don't waste your time. The instructions are not includes. You have to go to at least two different websites to look up your make and model and the associated wiring diagrams which are a joke. IKEA instructions are clearer. I'd recommend this product if you are a fan of instructions from a 1980 discount electronics store. Reallly disappointed in Crutchfield especially in 2024. How hard is it to make a simple video? Like seriously? Everyone has a camer. Stop being so crappy Crutchfield.

This is a nice unit for the price. It looks great and sounds great. The touch screen could be a little more sensitive but it works well. As always, the installation was easy because all the necessary adaptors and parts were included in the purchase from Crutchfield.
Pros: Looks great Sounds great Easy installation Great value
Cons: Touch screen could be a little more sensitive in the equalizer mode

Really easy to install. Crutchfield made sure we had the correct wire harnesses and install kit. Make sure you realize that there are (2) USB cords that extend out the back of the radio that need to be 'accessed' if you want the ability to charge your phone or hardwire into Android Car play. There is a bluetooth option as well.

Installed this in my Forester 2014 to replace the OEM radio. It was a long overdue upgrade. I can now use Carplay with ease. Make sure to complete the wiring beforehand. Followed the instructions on removing the control panel, removed old radio, installed new one, easy set up.
Pros: Has carplay, USB charging, AM/FM radio capability, microUSB slot for media.
Cons: Not sure if really a con, but when car is turned on (before starting), radio turns on, then when its turn to start/ON, the radio seems to restart again.

It is great when it works, but aging fast
Joey from Quincy, MA on 5/15/2024
I loved this unit when I first got it back in 2021, but with issues after a firmware update where it cannot read me my android auto messages, or respond has been frustrating as time goes on. It's definitely older processor trying to run newer software, and the limitations show with every day use. Sometimes my gps and pandora buttons are not responsive until you give it a full minute to settle.
Pros: more affordable, lightweight, easy to use
Cons: aging hardware, and issues with new firmware.

Great value product.absolutely exceptional service. Added this to my wife's old mazda..wow..just the fact she can now see her navigation on the dash ..and the resulting safety improvement is enough. But there's so much more. I didn't even know this technology existed! Really surprised theres a custom dash piece. Which actually improves the looks over factory! Anyway, JC guided me through the purchase from beginning to end and gave me the confidence that I could do the install .and I did it. You need to take your time.read directions. Lastly. It's well worth it to have them Pre-wire your harness wires.

Cristina from STEVENSON RANCH, CA on 5/3/2024

Thought I would finally get around to reviewing this stereo. It was good while it lasted but the stereo started going in and out last year with the screen blacking out and the stereo unusable. Hard resetting the stereo used to bring it back to life but now that doesn't work either. Now the stereo rarely ever turns on. Have had it since early 2021 and worked well until mid 2023.

This head unit is a great change from the stock unit. Apple CarPlay responds quickly and definitely makes the experience more enjoyable when driving. The sound is crisp and with user adjustable EQ it's even more satisfying. The pre wiring setup by the Crutchfield staff made the install extremely easy and connecting my backup camera was that much easier. Next will be a few speaker upgrades which will definitely buy from Crutchfield.

This was a poor choice to pick as a replacement for the Toyota factory receiver
Pros: Music played using the usb cable sounds great.
Cons: The radio reception is not as good as the factory unit.(the antenna is plugged in). The tuner seems to miss a lot of stations. Only the volume control on the steering wheel works. Changing stations can be a distraction from driving because this is only accomplished using the touch screen. The drivers attention is on the touch screen and not the road. The Dx/ Loc selector does not appear to do anything and the 'mono/stereo' selectors seem gimmicky'. I'm a bit disappointed with this cho

Victor from Clive, IA on 4/3/2024

I replaced the OEM radio in my 2016 Subaru Forester, and it fits perfectly and looks great. The screen is clear and bright, and it has auto-dimming for dark conditions, which is activated by the parking lights. It took me some time to figure out how to adjust the volume for navigation in CarPlay; surprisingly, it can only be set while navigation is speaking. There's no way to set it beforehand. Despite this minor inconvenience, it performs well except for the radio. When set to USA1 or USA2 bands, it constantly switches stations on its own. However, when I keep it on the Europe band, everything works flawlessly.

Surprisingly affordable well-made touchscreen
Connor from Gainesville, FL on 3/21/2024
2012 Toyota Tacoma
This stereo is a steal. Looks great, functions great, sounds great, and was so much cheaper than I expected any touchscreen to be with these qualities. Apple CarPlay is a great touch, though in the future I would spend the extra money to have wireless Apple CarPlay capabilities, but just wasn't in the budget. Regular bluetooth for phone/music works just the same anyway. Crutchfield made this process INCREDIBLY easy. I'm far from an electrician/mechanic/technician, but this only took a couple hours. Paying $25 for a premade wire harness ready to plug and play was an absolute no brainer, and Crutchfield sent everything else I needed for the install would extremely clear instructions. I will exclusively be using Crutchfield for all audio related matters from here on out. 10 stars
Pros: Super easy install Cheap but good quality Good size screen Apple CarPlay Sounds great Easy functionality
Cons: Wired Apple CarPlay only

Kurt from Palm Coast, FL on 3/19/2024
1993 Ford Mustang
I connected it to the premium sound in my 93 Mustang GT. Easy peasy thanks to Crutchfield and their supplied installation kit. I'm still using my stock speakers and amp and it sounds pretty decent although a speaker and amp upgrade is definitely needed in the future. As far as the Boss unit itself, the screen does lag a little when you swipe it. Other than that I haven't encountered any issues with it. Keep in mind it's a budget conscious unit but it's a pretty darn good one at that.

Great unit to bring new tech into a 20 year old Mercedes
Tobin from Hilton Head, SC on 3/18/2024
2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
Great unit to upgrade the factory deck in our 2005 CLK500. Due to its shallow depth, I was able to mount it from the back of the install kit, making it look more factory. Biggest selling point, for me, was the ability to have front and rear cameras, both powered from the head unit (no need to leave them powered up, when not in use, as would occur if powered by an ACC power lead) and easily switch between them. I use the front camera to avoid curb stops when pulling into parking spaces, and its a quick touch of the screen to get the image. One thing that's important to note...when I purchased the unit, one of the 'tech tips' from Crutchfield said that the front camera setting would have to be enabled each time the vehicle is turned on. Not only does the setting not get lost when I turn the key off, if I turn it off with the front camera view on, I will have that view when I start the car again.
Pros: shallow fit, easy to add front and rear cameras, camera power provided from head unit, so no need to leave cameras powered up when not in use (as would be if powered by ACC lead)
Cons: none so far

Almost Perfect
Andrew from Mansfield, OH on 3/18/2024
2015 Jeep Wrangler
Overall I am very impressed with this unit. It does exactly what it says it will do, and it does it well. Navigating the screens is intuitive, the touchscreen responds well but is not overly-sensitive, and the audio quality has greatly improved. The only negative I can find with the unit is that the backlight is not good enough. It is basically impossible to see the screen in direct sunlight even with the brightness maxed which is a problem when it is installed in a Jeep and you have the roof off. Other than that, I am very pleased with the product.
Pros: Easy to use, high quality, intuitive controls
Cons: Brightness

Guest from Abilene, TX on 2/24/2024

Got this as an upgrade for my 1999 Ranger from the stock stereo. Easy DIY install. Bezel will need to be trimmed down flush in order to fit. Wiring was easy. I did not install the mic since I have no use for it at the moment. The 2 USB cables are long enough to go behind the glove box and out underneath the ashtray. Only negative I have so far is the brightness glare. Original stock speakers instantly sounded better. Overall very satisfied!

Great, responsive, sound improving, aesthetically pleasing radio
Trey from Price, UT on 1/20/2024
2010 Chevrolet Silverado
Great wired apple car play unit for the money. It is very responsive and apply car play is not laggy at all. I have found that sometimes the display will blackout when I plug my phone in before the stereo has booted up. Kind of annoying but you just have to hold the power button on the display and then it will fix it. - installation:10/10. bought all the plug and play accessories and it took me about 30 minutes. So easy. Make sure you buy the usb adapter so you can plug that into the wire that runs from the center console. This makes it so you can use the usb in the center console for CarPlay. Super slick!!! This is critical - sound: drastically improved the sound. I am thinking it improved the sound because of the sub-woofer controls in the unit. It's louder, more clear, and more clean and deep bass than stock. Running stock bose system - con: I don't love the blinker chime. It sounds cheap. The startup chime sounds like an alarm from a zombie apocalypse movie. This needs to be improved. I would pay more money for an improved model that sounded better. Bluetooth struggles to automatically connect to my phone. Appearance: looks awesome. I didn't realize the screen is about 3/16" recessed so there is a bit of a lip for dirt and stuff to collect on. Makes it a little bit of a pain to clean. All my passengers are shocked when they get in my truck If you don't care about wireless CarPlay like me, get this unit. It will not disappoint. I am im
Pros: - Great appearance - wired CarPlay works great - very responsive unit - mic works great for phone calls when mounted on top of steaming column - easy installation(30 minutes) -improved sound quality of speakers. Deeper and more clean bass. Louder when connected to apple car play than bluetooth
Cons: - too much of a lip so dirt collects - Bluetooth will try to send a code to your phone literally everytime you start your vehicle. This is the biggest pain my butt with this unit. I hate this - blinker and startup chime is not pleasing to the ear. Sounds cheap. But you get used to it. Factory one is sooo much better. - screen sometimes goes black when you connect apple CarPlay too fast. (Have to click and hold power button to fix it)

Wired Carplay is great in 2008 Tundra.
Brian from NORWOOD, NC on 1/17/2024
I got use to my 2021 tundra with CarPlay and wanted to upgrade my 2008 Tundra double cab long bed to as close as possible for cheap. This definitely has made driving and talking hands free so much more safe. I placed mic as close to 2021 location as possible and it sounds great. Even bought oem style tailgate cam to go with it and works flawless. Only downside is for cell clarity it really needs to be plugged in, Bluetooth is not a strongpoint. Wish I had purchased sooner. Get the pre wired harness for sure. Last time I purchased from crutchfield I was a kid and as a senior citizen not much has changed with the confidence of great support if I need it.
Pros: Looks oem
Cons: Wired connection is great but Bluetooth just ok.

Doesn't work for older cars
Kourtney from Parma, OH on 1/6/2024
2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
If you have an older car it's not worth it. I got this for my 05 chevy back in the summer of 23 to have all the fancy new features like Bluetooth and android auto. loved the wiring kit from Crutchfield, it made the install much easier. However from Day one android auto never worked for me. I called Crutchfield many times and got given the same answer several times, as it was all supposedly routing back to the parking brake not being wired in. I had several ASE certified techs look at it and none of them could figure out why it wasn't working as it was wired correctly, the head unit itself just refused to read the signal. The second main problem I came across has been recently. Almost as soon as it started getting cold, my bluetooth barely functions. In the mornings I'd have to basically repair the phone entirely then it'd be fine throughout the day, now I have to sit there for five minutes every time I start the car just to get the stupid thing working! Not worth it! Just a big old screen at this point. So disappointed. I don't know if I just got a bad head unit or what but I'm so done with this situation.
Pros: Fit well
Cons: Nothing works right unless your car is already designed for it.

Brianna from SIOUX CITY, IA on 12/12/2023
2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I ordered this like 7 months ago and had issues with it not turning on at all so I received a replacement about 4 months ago, that one worked for about a day and then quit on me like the first. I took it to a mechanic and they had to add an accessory wire which I thought would've been included in the ready harness that I paid extra for. Thought that would be the end of it, but then my vehicles battery kept being drained. And now my car was also not shutting off despite the key not being in. Brand new battery, so I took it to mechanic again & they said everything came back to the aftermarket stereo. So now I have to find an electrician to look at the stereo so that hopefully it'll work properly without draining my battery. Possibly have to even order a new stereo, but not sure about getting it from here or trusting their ready harness. Very bummed.

I've had this installed for about a week and I love it. I previously had a Dual head unit, but the amps built in this put out more watts and my music sounds better. Also works much better with my subwoofer. The Apple car play works just fine although I typically use Bluetooth. This also has a five year warranty which is great because my last started having issues turning on after three years. Also I'm not sure where to leave a review for Crutchfield itself, but this company is amazing. As I said, my last stereo went out and when I called they helped me for half an hour with troubleshooting, then picking out a new one, and even gave me a discount (on top of the existing black Friday discount) so I could get a nicer one and since my last one from them stopped working. Every time I've called them in the past for help with my stereo, speakers, or subwoofer, they've been more than helpful and spent significant time helping me get stuff to work. I highly recommend this site and wouldn't buy car audio anywhere else.

Not for 2001 Acura MDX with Touring option
Vincent from Johns Creek, GA on 11/27/2023
2001 Acura MDX
I ordered this product after chatting with David and sounded like everything will be smooth sailing. David also mentioned that the installation instructions will be emailed. However, no instruction to my specific vehicle was emailed until I call the tech support and talked to Jay. Every instruction provided was confusing for the first time doer. After spending 3 days, now I have everything wired as the support suggested and most of the stuff working fine except the main thing, which is sound. I have no sound. now Jeff is suggesting that I buy a multimeter and test whether I get 12V from the adapter. Which means for me they have never tested for 2001 MDX with BOSE and Navigation (touring). How in the world my current BOSE system still work but not with BOSE? I only wanted this one because my GPS screen is dead and want to make use of current technology without having the buy a new car and use my phone for Navigation and play music. But, I was completely disappointed in Crutchfield because they are not tell us the truth and wasting a lot of customers time in troubleshooting.

Occasionally CarPlay will only show black screen, I need to restart the car in order to fix it. Unit will rapidly increase in volume once vehicle is shut off until the unit itself shuts off. Not sure if problem with unit or steering wheel control module, but steering wheel controls very rarely work, sometimes will be opposite of actual settings (volume up will be skip, volume down will increase volume), but more often than not controls will not work or will randomly start working or stop working during a drive. Overall would not recommend unit.

Bought a little over a year ago. Never was able to get it to work with my steering wheel controls despite great tech support from Crutchfield. CarPlay will randomly disconnect despite still charging the phone. This has gone from an occasional problem to a constant problem. I'd recommend spending the extra money for a better brand.
Pros: Looks good, low price
Cons: Software issues

Awesome BOSS
Jamie from ENGLEWOOD, CO on 10/21/2023
2010 Honda Element
The BOSS BE7ACP is an awesome product! I had a few questions during installation, but the Crutchfield customer service tech reps gave me excellent guidance. This is why I continually go back to Crutchfield for all my car/home audio products. Back to the BOSS BE7ACP. I installed this in a 2010 Honda Element. After install, I would say that the steering wheel control "add-on" is not worth it. I end up using the volume buttons on the radio because they are so close. The Apple Car Play feature through the USB hook up is seamless and functions soooo well! I love it! I put the microphone for "hands free" calling on the steering column and it works perfectly! I ran the microphone wire under the dash and to the head unit. Super simple! I gave this radio 4 out of 5 stars because I did have to run a ground wire to the chassis instead of just running the ground through the connector hook up. This was due to a very low electrical buzz that was happening at low volume. The ground from the head unit to the chassis fixed the problem. BOSS should figure out a solution to this problem.
Pros: Great sound, great bass, exceptional hands free calling, excellent functionality!
Cons: Grounding issue-electrical buzzing at low volumes.

Unit is great - very pleased with it with both Crutchfield equipment and Service Department. Have some concerns with the steering wheel interface as to quality and operation - wiring configuration recommended, and programming doesn't seem to work properly - and based on the company being in Canada - have not contacted them - going only to Crutchfield to resolve - have been trying to work through the issues with Franky.

I bought this a little over 2 and a half years ago and had it professionally installed. It worked perfectly for about 2 of those years and then it started to act up. It either won't even boot up or when it does, it randomly restarts while I'm driving and the rate at which these happen has been getting progressively worse. I'd say just spend the extra money to get something better and more reliable because you'll end up spending more in the long run anyway when this inevitably dies.

Software Issues and poor quality in general.
Gary from Rural Nor Cal on 9/22/2023
This device has numerous software Issues. The clock loses a few minutes every month, requiring resetting the clock regularly. Another intermittent problem is that the master volume resets to zero volume for no reason at all, requiring resetting the settings. Also, the cheap plastic microphone mount cracked and broke after several months of partial sun exposure below the dash of my vehicle.

First things First. The eases of installation is great. Between the video instructions on the website and YouTube, my 60 year old self had it installed and working within 30 minutes. The sound quality is pleasant but the receiver is attached to the Factory set that came with the car. The features are good, and the USB cables will reach through to the glove box with plenty to spare. Apple CarPlay works well when connected. I plan to upgrade the speakers and add a Subwoofer.
Pros: Ease of installation, adjustable EQ, price, features
Cons: Physical buttons too close to the sides

The radio is great and made a huge improvement to my 2012 GMC Acadia. The sound is great and the Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. One thing to keep in mind is that the control buttons are on the left side of the screen and can be difficult to use due to unit being slightly recessed in the aftermarket bracket.

For first week after this was installed it was shut down. It would occasionally shut off and reset immediately. So I had all new wiring set up thinking that was the issue. I had no problems for awhile. Now the problem is persistent, sometimes I have to drive days at a time with the blue lights on but the device not working no matter how many times I try to reset it. I have to literally turn my ignition switch on and off and occasionally it boots up right without freezing. The person who installed it for me said " are you sure you want to do boss audio ?" I didn't believe him at the time but now I see that longevity is not something they offer. Save your money and spend a few extra on a better product. I will not buy Boss Audio again.

Great radio for simplicity and price
Gavin from Trappe, PA on 8/6/2023
2011 Honda Civic
**For $200 you can't beat this simple radio** I have heard from numerous people that you shouldn't go Boss; Pioneer or Alpine are the way to go. This is NOT the case. Most radios from what I noticed are you get what you pay for and this radio is exactly it. This radio is perfect enough for someone who isn't too familiar with the tech stuff, or someone who's just into upgrading their car stereo, especially for the price. The interface is a nice setup, it has your basic Bluetooth, streaming, AM/FM/XM radio setup. It even comes with two setups for front and rear cameras. If you opt in for Apple CarPlay, the system does not lag, the touchscreen is quick to touch. And sound quality is actually pretty decent. It's better than stock. For $200 you just can't beat this simple radio!
Pros: price installation process simple responsive touchscreen better sound quality than stock front and rear camera inputs
Cons: no CD/ DVD player sound quality is meh for premium sound systems

Junk
Nick from ABINGDON, VA on 8/1/2023
2010 Mazda 3
I've had this thing for maybe a year and a half. It's junk. Will black screen about twice a week needing to hit the reset button, sometimes causing me to pull the unit out of the dash and unplug it all together and letting it set for a few minutes before reinstalling. Eq features are limited. Unit is clunky and all I use is car play. Can't find a way to dim it more at night, sometimes it won't pick up my phone. Microphone has massive feedback for whoever I'm talking to (don't have this problem on a pioneer unit that mic is installed same location on another car) I needed something and didn't want to spend $150 extra for something good. Don't make that mistake. I won't buy another boss product.
Pros: Has car play
Cons: Works 1/2 the time like it should. Major headache.

Although at first I was surprised with it capabilities until you start using the sd card in put which every once in a while it the radio decides to freeze and you have to set ALL your previous presets. Also, using Apple car play sucks, gps always getting confused and when it returns to your radio playing it RESTARTS the track from the beginning starts all over again. This radio not good for customers using Apple CarPlay/ GPS. Radio has to many bugs to rely on..

Bang for your buck. Fits great in my 97 Geo Metro. Seems to give more power to my speakers than my factory unit. It's nice having Apple CarPlay now so I don't have to listen to cassette tapes or low quality radio. Crutchfield did a tremendous job wiring everything up (additional charge, worth it in my opinion) so it was a seamless plug and play.

Terrible for android auto. I am a worker, who installed this into my work truck to use android auto for directions. My fold 3 works on my 2019 kia niro stock radio, flawless. It works on my 2012 ford expedition with a cheap Dual system, but this boss radio system disconnects every 5 mins for no reason, from android auto. I have to reconnect my usb to my phone 5+ times to get where i am going, sometimes. This is terrible. I since bought a usb 3.1 to usbC connector l, and it didnt help. As soon as i can find a different radio that can replace a single din, and open up to a decent screen for navigation, this unit is going in the trash....
Pros: 2 usb inputs, so you can have android auto and a hard drive
Cons: Antenna weak, default audio settings are horrible, and i can never set the sounds porperly for some reason...many go back to a low setting each time. I've had the whole unit black out until i turn the truck off completely. If you have a fold3, stay away!!!

Crutchfield great - Boss BE7ACP not so much
Crutchfield customer from STORM LAKE, IA on 7/7/2023
2015 Subaru Outback
I wanted carplay in my 2015 Outback and went with this radio based on price and reviews. This ended up being a painful process. I was sent the wrong antenna adapter initially which was delay number one. Then the first Boss unit was defective, powered up for a second and then died. Delay number two. Crutchfield sent replacements for both promptly, but with the shipping time and a holiday weekend factored in, it ended up being a 7 day process to get it installed. I'm pretty underwhelmed with the radio itself. I'm sure I'll like having Carplay, but I can no longer get stations I could with the factory radio. Price was a factor in my choosing this radio, but if you want to use steering wheel controls, you'll need a Maestro unit and wiring which adds quite a bit to the cost. I had Crutchfield prewire everything, which I highly recommend, but thats an added cost as well. I also needed antenna and USB adapter cables. This radio installation ended up costing over $500 for a for a radio at this price. I needed to call tech support several times during the install process. The Crutchfield staff was always absolutely great. Crutchfield was the biggest positive about this experience. I just wish I was happier with the result.
Pros: Crutchfield tech support
Cons: radio not as good as factory, lots of added expenses.

Another Crutchfield Success
Michael from EAST SETAUKET, NY on 7/4/2023
I'd give it 4.5 stars if it gave the opportunity. Unit is really excellent for the price. Good sound quality and easy to use. Being used to fully integrated units in new cars, I was a bit surprised that I needed a separate microphone and push to use but I'm sure I'll get used to that. The real reason for this unit was the Apple CarPlay and Android equivalent. Excellent interface. Plug and play. The instructions from the faceplate and mounting frame company were a bit confusing.would've been better if they were electronic and I could search for my vehicle by make/model. But found them in among other vehicles. The instructions call for removing the rear tabs for my vehicle.wasn't that clear in the photo. A diagram would explain better. Also wasn't very clear how the sides and the faceplate went together but I was able to figure it out after some experimentation. All in all, Very Happy. I Loved the pre-crimped harness! Beautiful work and a great time saver! Thanks for a great experience!
Pros: The pre-assembled wiring harness Customer contact and advice Longest warranty Ease of use Ease of hookup Attractive unit Sound Quality
Cons: Faceplate/frame instructions a bit harder to find my section and not real clear WRT how the pieces went together. Also should have been clearer WRT diagram of which tabs to remove. I almost removed the tabs from the faceplate itself.

I've only used it for a couple days, but so far I like this radio. It's a little slow to start up each time, but that's not a problem for me. I wish the background had an option for a lighter color, because it's a bit hard to see in bright day light. Other than that, I think it's well worth its value.

Treat Yo'self!
Duane from Hampstead, NC on 5/13/2023
2018 Toyota Tacoma
So far I've been pretty happy with my purchase. I'll get the bad out of the way first.since that's probably what you're looking for anyway. 1: it currently has a quirk where the volume will crank alllllll the way up when I turn off my vehicle, no idea what that's about and haven't really investigated. To mitigate at the moment, I just turn the power delay off. 2: sometimes Waze and maps just become unresponsive, but that may just be CarPlay and not the head unit itself. 3: the other day out of the blue my reverse camera was mirrored.no idea why, it wasn't that way a mere 40 minutes prior. The good. 98% of the time it functions exactly how I'd expect a head unit at this price point with CarPlay to function. It has a ton of options for upgrades like video input (??? ?), subs etc and it sounds great with my new speakers too! I installed this on my lunch break at work, I'm pretty handy, but I hadn't installed a radio in 20+ years, and never with a harness, and it definitely made it a lot easier! I saw some reviews about lag in swiping on the screen and honestly, I don't find it to be that bad. Honestly, for the money, it's a really great upgrade that I'm sorry I hadn't made sooner and I would buy this again. If you're still rocking a factory or outdated stereo, just snag it and make your commutes more comfortable, you deserve it!
Pros: Easy to install. Some decent expandability. Easy to navigate. Crutchfield has ?? got your back!
Cons: Don't let these discourage you! I've had some quirks like my backup camera being mirrored out of nowhere. Sometimes navigation can be unresponsive (could be CarPlay and not the unit itself) and a weird volume issue.

I bought this radio a couple weeks ago, good little radio. I bought it for the Apple Carplay fonction because I always use this. Unfortunately, i do have connection problems.. even after changing the wire, cleaning both usb ports, doing updates and resetting everything, it still does it. After a couple minutes, it disconnects.

Love the look and feel in my Subaru. Especially the manual push buttons vs others with only touchscreen. Additional power over stock head unit is great and really brought the car audio to life! However, as another review stated, it does not perform well with android auto. On an hour long drive it restarted 7 or 8 times and at one point just turned off and I had to manually restart it. Short 5/10-minute trips around town didn't seem to be an issue though. The Crutchfield team was very helpful getting my issues sorted out and exchanged!

Jason from Myrtle Beach, SC on 4/28/2023
2007 Toyota Camry
I've bought several of these units to install in friends vehicles. If you are on a budget and just want CarPlay or Android Auto and no thrills, then this is for you. I have purchased higher dollar units and had problems like camera input not working, and screen not responding. This unit is easy to use and power output is fairly good. On a budget? Look no further.

Its Ok
Crutchfield customer from Plano, TX on 4/24/2023
2016 Nissan 370Z
This headset was ok. Has good user interface, and some basic customizations. My only complaint is that it does not work well with Android Auto. This particular headset kept dropping Android Auto. Sometimes it would stay connected for a day, sometimes it would drop several times a day. Did the whole troubleshooting thing, new USB-C wire, rest the unit, updated Android Auto, tried everything. Customer service said there was a known issue/bug with the new Samsung Galaxy's from 21 and up with Android Auto, but have not been able to find any supporting documentation regarding that. So opted to swap it out, exchanged it for a Kenwood, and so far, issue has been resolved. No more dropping of Android Auto, thank the Lord, cuz that was driving me nuts. So, if you use Android Auto, beware of this head unit, cuz it might not work right with Android Auto.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Android Auto issues

Great buy for good stereo
Amy from Pierz , MN on 3/23/2023
2011 Ford F-250
The stereo has some nice features for the money. I don't really care much about loud booming sound, just keeping the factory speakers, mainly changed the deck so I could have the bluetooth, so sound quality is good enough. It looks good, fits well, is quite appropriate for my 2011 Ford. Have used Crutchfield for years, would never buy anything anywhere else, ever! Top notch customer service!

For the price and what we want it to do this Boss stereo is perfect. It's in a Jeep Wrangler and is a nice step up vs the stock radio. The CarPlay connection, camera and other features work well. The interface graphics are a little bit basic but this unit fits exactly what we wanted.

Great radio, needs improvement
Joe from Springfield, VA on 3/21/2023
1999 Mazda Miata
I prefer a knob for volume. the interface is a bit too much on the main menu. The radio technically didn't fit my car but I had to jam the outer frame piece from the radio bezel kit over it so it's held in with tension and not as clean as I'd hope for. However, the radio works great and I love that it has audio presets to make the sound quality the best it can be

Marc from Atlanta, GA on 3/20/2023

Purchased for my son's 12-year-old Jeep. Performance and features are superior to the factory unit utilizing the factory speakers. Relatively easy installation. However, the factory dash panel opening is too small. Not enough vertical clearance. Crutchfield's notes included a disclaimer about the need for possible sub dash mods, but no issues with sub-dash. Still haven't completed the install because the dash can't be cut any further without doing damage.

Get a different unit.
Jerry from DUPONT, WA on 3/4/2023
2015 Volkswagen Passat
If you value sound quality at all stick with the trusted brands. This unit sounded worse than my factory radio, sent it back and got the alpine ilx-w650; and it sounds 10x better. I had the boss for two days and it started randomly shutting off and turning back on. Using my factory backup camera, it comes out really zoomed in on the boss unit and you can't adjust that aspect. Totally fine on the alpine though. The boss had really choppy bass even when adjusted, there was no fixing the sound quality. Funny that the alpine is 16w x 4 rms and the boss says 20 x 4, yet the alpine put out way more power. Stick with trusted sources.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Sound quality, software, backup camera.

Great radio, but need better mounting instructions
Kevin from Gunnison, UT on 2/21/2023
2016 Jeep Wrangler
Great radio and functions. I am still learning all of them. The mounting instructions specific to each vehicle would have saved me a lot of time. It took several hours to install and redo it until I found the right fit with the mounting hardware. I also watched several videos on Youtube. They don't show the specific points to place the mounting hardware, so it was trial and error to find the right spots. Also, I could not fit the trim piece on the radio. It would not fit.
Pros: Radio, hands free calling, apple play, two USB ports, microphone, camera connections if wanted and needed
Cons: Install instructions are needed per vehicle. This includes where to find the brake wire, reverse wire, and specific mounting requirements per vehicle.

From OEM to Boss 10/10
Andrez from WILLIAMSTON, SC on 2/16/2023
2011 Kia Forte
If you are coming from your OEM set up this thing feels like it is lightyears ahead! And with Crutchdields' installation guide, you'll be jamming before you know it. The headunit looks great, feels high quality and the built-in internal amp really helps whatever speakers are currently in your car and what might be replacing them. The ports on the rear give you so many options to play with as well. I didn't even think you'd want to add a second sub but hey, that option is here if you ever would want to. There are plug-ins for an AUX port, cameras, mics, USB ports for charging, and Apple car play and Andriod Auto -- all at the ready for you to plug right into! Great options to have in my opinion. The display is excellent. Here in the south, I have had no problem reading the screen when the sun is high up or ever felt like there was lag. Where I touch is where it responds and navigating is relatively easy. Of course, there is a learning curve but, nothing one can't tackle. The buttons feel clicky and are responsive. You will know if you did click the volume or didn't. I use Android Auto and it is BY FAR the best way to use this unit. The music quality is superior to Bluetooth (not saying it's not good or doesn't work), and the screen layout is awesome. The hands-free experience is very very good. Once DC'ed from Andriod Auto my phone pairs with the unit right away and I thought that was pretty cool. I know that is completely subjective. Radio works. Apps wor

nice replacement when OEM unit dies
George from Lincoln, NE on 2/13/2023
2009 Toyota Camry
When the JBL head unit on my 2009 Camry finally stopped working I found a replacement at Crutchfield. With assistance from their tech staff I installed and it worked well. I mostly use it to listen to FM, music on my phone, and audio books on long trips. It does all this well. I already had installed a backup camera in the car and don't watch videos in the car so can't comment on these functions. Apple CarPlay is nice. Unlike the OEM JBL unit the Boss does not play CDs, but I don't need that function.
Pros:
Cons: Even on distant setting the radio does not pull in stations that the JBL could (at least before it died).

A sound that inspires... you to drive off a cliff!
JASON from Texas, Baby! on 2/4/2023
2012 Toyota Tundra
I'm assuming the author's of the previous 685 reviews were confused by how the star rating system works, I don't disagree that a (1)(Lone)star review should be the highest mark and reserved for products that are straight up awesome or just plain better than the other 49 products..... Unfortunately that's not the way it goes folks. Looking at how highly this product was reviewed is baffling if its not a mistake. 5 stars for Crutchfield sure but the system? Give me a break! I've been chasing every possible solution to solve the outrageously poor sound quality plaguing my system for months now; I'm talking Lines, cables, wires, grounds, speakers, you name it Ive replaced it. Almost tore the whole audio system out to be upgraded or replaced and it would have been a heck of a lot cheaper if I had. It never dawned on me that it was just a piece of junk head unit, I mean how could it be the unit when everyone on the Crutchfield reviews board loved it! Bottom line, if you're looking for anything more than an am/fm system with a non responsive touchscreen you cant even see half the time, I'd suggest you stay far away from Boss and spend the extra money for a better unit. I'd say it's a Pyle but that might have been a better choice! And sure I'm an idiot for believing something I read on the internet but please try and review more responsibly in the future folks.
Pros: Have new speakers, amp and wires now
Cons: They all sound like garbage on this headunit!!!

Radio, good, height was too tall
Kerry from Colby, KS on 2/3/2023
I love the way that radio operated was easy to hook up. Although, the height of the radio was about an 1/8 inch too much to fit into the radio cavity in the dodge ram, 2500, 2012. This issue was corrected with my razor knife. If you want exact fit, go with a different radio that will fit in the dash.
Pros: Easy connections and hook up. Easy to Bluetooth.
Cons: Width and depth OK, height too big.

Very nice upgrade from the stock radio
Crutchfield customer from Denton, TX on 1/12/2023
2015 Ram 1500
Very nice upgrade from the stock radio in my wife's 2015 Elantra. The only thing is, the instructions for all the radio connections weren't very clear. I also bought the USB kit to mount in the dash, but there were no instructions on how to get the old one out, so I was not able to install that. The USB line is just coming out from under the dash. I called Crutchfield and they had no info for this year model car. It seems there is not a lot of info on this vehicle out there. Would have been nice to know before purchase and removing everything. I followed the instructions provided and the rear camera and steering wheel controls didn't work, so I had to make some calls and also made some assumptions based on the wire labels on what else actually needed to be connected. Crutchfield was easily reachable and helpful, otherwise. Also, the rear camera doesn't come on automatically. It only works if I manually turn it on once the car is in reverse. Crutchfield suggested pulling the radio out to test the connection, but that's not an easy task, so I have not been able to do that. So that's a bummer. The radio itself is nice and sounds better than the stock. Apple CarPlay is great.
Pros: Apple CarPlay and sound.
Cons: Backup camera does not come on automatically. Could not install USB connections into the existing dash location.Wiring diagrams were not accurate.

Decent radio, ok install for the fairly inexperienced
Crutchfield customer from Sanatoga, PA on 1/9/2023
2012 Hyundai Accent
Install was ok. Bought all the extra parts to be able to use the steering wheel controls and the wiring harness. Took me a while to figure out all the wires that needed to be connected up. Documentation was meh, but if you go online for the chat they are really helpful. Not sure I needed all the add on parts, but the steering wheel controls work well. We went through the extra effort to wire in the USB port and auxiliary input and it lit up and then quit working. Not sure what the deal is there, but we aren't missing those ports. The radio itself is decent. Pretty light for 200 some watts of power, but it sounds pretty good and car play is working well.
Pros: Car play. Adapter bracket for my Hyundai worked well. Head unit is good. Steering wheel control adapter. On line chat help.
Cons: Documentation so so. Especially the documentation for the steering wheel control module. Installed the stuff for the USB charging port and auxiliary input, and after initially working it quit.

Avoid this unit!
Stacey from INDIANAPOLIS, IN on 12/30/2022
2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
This head unit is junk! I purchased it in 2020 along with the plug and play wiring harness and since that time it's been nothing but a pain in the ass I've had to replace it 5 times on the warranty. It's just a matter of time before this one goes and the warranty runs out and I'm left buying a whole new unit. I just know it won't be from Crutchfield
Pros:
Cons: Crutchfield knows this unit is junk but sells it any. They tried to blame the issues on the hookup I made so I had a professional install the last 2 units he also spoke to one of the tech's because he felt bad he was having to charge me for both installs plug and play at that and Crutchfield just didn't care they laughed at him and said ok. They won't work with you on any credit towards a different unit or anything. This was my first and last purchase with Crutchfield.

The biggest dud ever!!
Crutchfield customer from MIAMI, FL on 12/30/2022
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe
It worked "properly " for only a couple of months and then it started messing up, it scans though station on its own, which gets very annoying really fast. Keep having to reset it hoping that will help and have to program it all over again each time, and the sound quality is not that much better than the stock radio. The CarPlay seems like a great feature until you realize it can't handle being connect and running apps without freezing, the GPS on CarPlay doesn't act the same way it does on your smartphone, you can't really move the map around to look at the traffic ahead of look for alternate routes, it has arrows, and if you try to use them, the move the slightest amount and it takes long, so I still just use my phone and dock it in you dash, rendering this radio pretty useless, with the annoying doesn't work and changes your stations on its own factor added. Waste of money, time and effort. And the controllers you have to buy so it works with your steering controllers those stopped working as well, not doing what it's meant to do when you pick the different buttons, it did at some point, but it doesn't anymore. The only solid product associated with this purchase was the pre wired harness I purchased

Android Auto is unreliable and slow
Timur from Austin, TX on 12/5/2022
2012 Ford Focus
I regret purchasing this receiver. At the price I paid, I figured it would be decent, but the Android Auto integration is so buggy. Half the time I connect my phone, the receiver doesn't recognize it. I have to wait until the receiver fully turns on, then I need to unlock my phone, and only then can I connect reliably. If I skip either step, it's a 50/50 chance that it works. But when it does work, it is slooooooooow. The same phone works much better in my 2018 VW, which already supports Android Auto.

Works really well especially with steering wheel control. Though occasionally Apple Carplay randomly just disconnects no real reason why it is confusing, but I unplug it and then plug it back in it works. Make sure you also get a usb extension cable for a few extra dollars but it will make the radio look better.

Excellent unit, bought one for each of my Jeeps. A 2004 TJ and 2015 JK. Apple CarPlay works better than the OEM CarPlay in my 2022 Tacoma. I'm definitely recommend.

VINCE from Liverpool on 11/26/2022
It worked great for approximately 2 months then started dropping Android auto. I bought several brand new charging cables & same result. Purchased a new Anker USB cable and worked a little better but resumed dropping Android auto. I. I quit using android auto because it's now useless. Please read all of the reviews & believe them about dropping Android auto & car play.
Pros: Worked great at first! I was throughly impressed. But, the continued dropped Android Auto made very unpleasant.
Cons: Please read the reviews about dropping Android auto /carplay.

A friend of mine recommended me this head unit and I gotta say I like it a lot. I did struggle with the installation a bit (I had never done anything like it before) and it took a bit longer than it should've but once I figured out how to do it correctly it was a breeze. I will say definitely spend the extra money and get the wiring kits unless you don't need it and if you either don't feel like splicing the wires together or just don't know how there is an option that costs an extra like $20-$30 I think where they will do all that for you so it cuts the installation time even more. Overall I am very happy with it and I would recommend it!
Pros: Apple car play Android auto Easy set up Responsive touchscreen Easy EQ set up/adjusting
Cons: Honestly the only problem I have with it is I just wish the screen was a bit bigger because it looks kinda weird in my car (I have an SUV) but other than that I am happy with it

Affordable and does everything I need!
Todd E. from W SPRINGFIELD, MA on 11/20/2022
2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
The Boss BE7ACP was exactly what I was looking for and affordable! I installed on my 04 Chevy Tahoe to replace the original factory system with Bose and Sirius XM. I decided to go streaming only for music, so XM receiver was not required for me. I haven't used DVDs since I converted my collection to MP3 decades ago, so no DVD needed. I needed hands-free calling, streaming and the ability to see/hear the map and alerts from Google Maps. The Boss user interface is easy to navigate and responsive. I see no noticeable lag in changing inputs, skipping songs, navigating the settings menus, etc.. Sound quality through the factory Bose system is better than the factory head unit! Sounds fantastic!! You will want to go into the Boss device settings and increase the "Source Volumes" for the various input sources to set them where you think they sound best. Once you do that, you should be all set. Voice assistant button works great to launch whatever response from my phone. It will do or show whatever you ask of it, but you will want to plug in to the USB cable if you want to see and interact with that stuff on the radio head unit. Android Auto and Apple Car Play will only show up on this Boss when on the wired connection (not over Bluetooth). A small trade-off for keeping this so affordable! I will probably only use the USB wired connection when I need to see maps. Everything else for me will be over BT, so I don't have to plug/unplug.
Pros: Great sound output! Easy user interface. Fantastic value for features included! Perfect unit for someone looking to mostly stream. Built-in Android Auto and Apple Car Play on-screen (over USB wire). Great basic unit.
Cons: For the money... Not a lot of Cons here! Would be nice for Apple Car Play and Android Auto to be available through Bluetooth, but for the cost... Not a big deal! I really only need the Android Auto for on-screen navigation. All my other stuff will be wireless over Bluetooth.

Decent but lacking
Michael from Colonial Hgts, VA on 11/16/2022
2008 Lincoln Navigator
This unit had everything I needed and was well rounded for the economical price. The install and set up was very easy and effortless thanks to Crutchfield. The 4 stars is for an overall positive experience, but I had some minor dislikes with the stereo. The main dislike was the slow swipes and touch features. It felt like an older smart phone. Now for this price point that's kinda expected to some extent. It didn't interfere with the function of the stereo. This was just a quality of life issue for me. Next up, the connection would sometimes cut out even though it was plugged in. I thought it was just an Android Auto issue until I switched to Apple recently and continued to have the same issue. It isn't often, but it is annoying nonetheless. Here's some good things about it. - Relatively inexpensive but that shows through the two issues I had. - The sound quality with the factory amp wasn't that bad considering I haven't replaced the speakers yet. It was easy to adjust the EQ and settings although the actual settings widget was initially hard to find, but once you find it, it'll stick out at you from then on. - The unit is pretty light even though it's a double din. All in all, if my budget was the same it was when I bought this unit, I'd still choose it. However, if I had a higher budget, I'd definitely go with a newer Sony or Alpine! Thanks for reading
Pros: Inexpensive, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, easy to set up
Cons: Interface lagged and bugged out sometimes, intermittently disconnected from CarPlay/android auto even though it was wired.

So far so good. Have had it installed for about a week and it sounds good. Not a high dollar radio but it's much better than a factory set up with a fair price point. Sound quality is good and paired with the new JBL door speakers is a vast improvement over the factory GM equipment.
Pros: Fair Price Solid quality Better than factory equipment Easy install
Cons: Options are limited (but that's to be expected for what you pay)

No firmware updates are available online on the Boss website, can't be sure it's up to date. Very buggy.

Does not work for Carplay!
Mike from Port Washington, NY on 10/18/2022
2012 Hyundai Elantra
I bought this product because I wanted to have Carplay and Android Auto added to my car. Installation was easy (with Crutchfield's installation package--that part was great). After about 1 month of working well, the carplay/android auto connection through a wire would randomly cut out, worsening to a point where it wouldn't hold the connection for longer than 30 seconds. When I contacted Boss--they told me that "most issues have nothing to do with the unit" and told me to google for a solution. This, of course, didn't result in the problem being fixed despite multiple attempts. It's important to note that when I plug my phone into other cars with carplay/android auto it connects flawlessly. Definitely regret choosing the cheaper product. Would approach with caution, and I'm confused by all the positive reviews.
Pros: Works for normal radio tuning, screen works fine
Cons: Carplay and android auto not reliable

Great head unit for the price. I wish the camera view would stay on during a phone call. I have a dump truck and I use the camera view all the time because there is no view from the rear view mirror. Also I thought it was a plug and play situation, but You have to splice a good amount of wires. 0ther than that a nice unit.

Boss BE7ACP into my 2015 Jetta - PERFECT!
Steve from FAIRFIELD, CT on 10/16/2022
2015 Volkswagen Jetta
The radio connects quickly and reliably to Bluetooth and the plug in Apple CarPlay works just like our late model car systems. The touchscreen and side controls are great. This was a seamless plug and play with the recommended wiring components. I bought this Boss radio and paid for Crutchfield to pre-assemble the antenna, the wiring interface, and new back up camera bundles with this and it is awesome! Definitely recommend paying for them to do that. I only had to strip and install a ground wire in the trunk for the back up camera (Crus CAD-O5T sold separately for my 2015 VW Jetta) as well as the constant power at the radio for the camera. Everything was labeled and plugged together like it was OEM. (Did not have to splice into a reverse light to activate the camera, but it is an option.) No programming needed for the radio and everything worked from the start including steering wheel controls. Couldn't have asked for anything easier!

Great Head Unit to Update Any Old Truck!
Christian from College Station, TX on 10/15/2022
I'll start by saying I have a 2003 dodge Ram 1500 with infinity sound system. Although I just got it installed a week ago, the unit is working perfectly so far. No real issues regarding installation because of the awesome instructions you get with your purchase. Had a minor hiccup and called their techs who helped me not only figure out the problem but coached me through fixing it!
Pros: Allows for screen mirroring with a few adapters, dual USB, Android Auto and Apple Car Play both work great, worked with stock 03 dodge ram 1500 amp and speakers
Cons: No big ones yet

David from ALEDO, TX on 10/5/2022
2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
The Apple CarPlay/Android Auto usb port will not charge your device, in fact it drains the phones at a high rate. Makes it useless when on a trip of any distance and you have to disconnect your phone to charge it from another port and lose your maps, music, or anything else you were using with Carplay or Android Auto.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: FM radio is very poor. Lacking bass.

Good, but I ended up upgrading to the Boss BE950WCPA
Garan from Knoxville, TN on 9/25/2022
2000 Chevrolet Tahoe
As one of the more affordable Apple CarPlay compatible units I wasn't expecting the world, but the deal breaker was a very bad echo on the end of a phone call using Apple CarPlay. If I connected the phone via Bluetooth rather than CarPlay, the call quality was reduced slightly, but there was no echo. To be clear the call was crystal clear in the vehicle, but the person on the other end of the line received a very distracting echo of their own voice when they spoke. The music was great, and installation was simple enough. Backup camera worked great. I use this for work calls on the road so call quality was very important to me. If that's not as important to you, it's hard to argue with the performance for the money.
Pros: Budget Friendly Easy installation Decently Smooth Interface
Cons: Poor Apple CarPlay call quality No wireless CarPlay

You just can't beat the price with these features. I replaced an old, stock Mercedes head unit with this for my son. I love the carplay and touchscreen. The unit sounds great with the stock speakers as well. Adding a powered sub down the road will be simple with the RCA outs on the back. I've got a nice Bose system in my Audi and am completely jealous of his CarPlay. Unfortunately, this baby won't fit into my Audi. (Waze on screen is just awesome) Also being able to stream Pandora or Spotify is just sick...

The receiver is great. It's a huge difference from the factory receiver. This was a gift for step son and also something we could work on together. The first time making any modifications ourselves. The instructions to remove trim and receiver were excellent. We purchased the ready harness as well and that made the entire install much easier. Highly encourage getting the ready harness unless you like crimping a lot of wires. Took the two of us about an hour in total as we went slow. The hardest part was screwing in the ground. It was easy enough that I am thinking of replacing wife's factory receiver in her suv ??
Pros: Very easy with ready harness. Easy install instructions. Easy guide on using the receiver.
Cons: The faceplate trim was too tight so didn't use it.

DIY, Sure.
AlPotatoeNailGrinder from Broken Arrow, OK on 9/15/2022
2005 Honda Element
For an aftermarket, DIY product it's exceptional. Install with the crutchfield "pre-wired" harness makes install fairly straightforward. Fit and finish is 2 stars as the head unit sits " in" from the surface of the dash. A little weird compared to stock head unit. The only real quirky issue is because of how the head unit sits sunk in from the dash adjusting volume takes some getting used to because of the location of the volume buttons are along the front edge on the front of the unit.
Pros: Large, easy to use screen layout. Touch screen. EQ. Bluetooth. A lot of customization options.
Cons: Volume buttons. Doesn't sit flush with dash face, more sunk-in. Fit and finish.

Markell from Garretson, SD on 9/14/2022

I love this unit! It's easy to use and works as well or better than I expected. The installation was quite easy with the optional service to have the wiring harness pre-wired. I'd highly recommend using this service, at only $25 it's quite a bargain and time saver. Make sure you order the complete kit with antenna adapter, the old one will not fit in the new receiver, and the trim removal tools are quite handy.
Pros: Everything integrated with my existing system quite well. The steering wheel controls work with it and the hands-free system works great. The new dash trim fit perfectly and looks just like a factory piece.
Cons: The only downsides I can come up with is when changing stations on the receiver it takes some time to scroll through the stations. The instructions on putting the mounting brackets on the sides of the receiver are a little bit vague and it took me a couple of times to get it right. Otherwise it's a great instruction booklet.

Crutchfield customer from BYRON, GA on 9/12/2022
2003 Honda CRV LX
Really not sure what to say about this product. I ordered two of these within a month of each other. Install was easy and units performed well. After about 4 months the first one I ordered started dropping calls and mapping when using Android car play functions. I called Boss and they informed me to send it back and they would repair or replace. Customer service was great. I received the new unit and it has performed flawlessly. The new unit is much faster. About a month later the second unit I had purchased started doing the same thing as the first, dropping calls and mapping. I called Boss and once again they were very helpful. I sent the unit back, got a new one and it performed flawlessly up until about a month ago and once again it is dropping calls and mapping. I suppose I will contact Boss again. I guess the bottom line is that, if you get one that works they are great and very budget friendly but if you get one that doesn't work.......IDK.
Pros: Inexpensive, good customer service form Boss.
Cons: Units drops calls and mapping. Have had to replace two units and soon to replace a another one.

Great, complex, distracting
Dale from Hayward, CA on 8/19/2022
This "car play" option on my truck's radio was my son's idea, and although very nice once he got it all set up, it does add another layer of complexity for me. It is very nice for navigation since my IPhone map screen now displays on the radio's screen, so if your car doesn't have Navigation you won't need it now. But.....I don't think I could have set it up without my tech-savy son. I'm still kinda worried I won't know what to do if I'm driving alone when it suddenly starts doing things I never asked it to do. The volume controls for Nav, radio, phone, and music are hard to find and individually adjust for me. I wish there were dials to adjust volume and station selection, but these seem to have disappeared on these newer high-tech radios. My over-all opinion is this: Marvelous if you have someone tech-savy riding in the vehicle with you WHO ISN'T DRIVING because the layers of complexity are quite distracting!

2000 Ford Ranger
I was debating between this unit and the wireless CarPlay version for my 2000 Ford Ranger. My objective was simple- I wanted CarPlay in the truck for Spotify, Waze, etc. I decided on this version as wireless would be nice but I could run the cables through my glovebox to maintain a clean aesthetic. The unit is fantastic. CarPlay was "plug and play" and has refreshed the driving experience of my 22-year-old truck. Sound quality improved on my stock speakers however I replaced those as well. Not too much else to say. If you're OK with wired CarPlay then this is the best bang for the buck option out there. Time will tell how it holds up, but it seems like it is built decent enough.
Pros: -Carplay works perfectly -Looks good -Dual USB for charging
Cons: -Volume buttons are small -Screen isn't SUPER bright in direct sunlight

After using it for a couple of weeks I regret buying this unit. The audio quality is pretty disappointing. I also bought the steering wheel control box, but I can't scroll through my selected preset stations the steering wheel controls. As for instillation, I did pay extra for Crutchfield to prewire the harness and steering wheel control box, that made the installation process a lot easier and saved me a lot of time. I would definitely recommend that for anyone considering whether it's worth it.

Taylor from Brunswick, GA on 8/10/2022
2007 Toyota Camry
Great Bluetooth, I have the mic on top of the driver side pillar with no problems during call.Eq settings are great for what I wanted. I would buy it again and recommend it to someone that wants touchscreen/Bluetooth/CarPlay etc. and doesn't want to spend their whole paycheck on it. I currently don't have a backup camera bc well it's a 07 small sedan and idk why anyone would need one on this car BUT I can easily add one if I change my mind. Side note for Camry owners- I ran the two included usb through the passenger side pocket area -see pic, it's a rig but it'll work if I ever need to charge or hook up CarPlay
Pros: Price, touch screen responsive, eq settings, can add cameras, 3ft charging usb, 3ft car play usb
Cons: None yet, only been installed one day

Great fit with a little work.
Jesus Alejandro from Simi Valley, CA on 8/5/2022
2012 Jeep Patriot
I have had this for over a month (June 22), works great, just turning the key the radio starts working, but the boot up it's a little slow (around 10 seconds, but hey we live in a hurry), installation was easy, I used the harness service from Crutchfield, the fitting kit for my 2012 jeep patriot was good but not a perfect fit, had to grind one of the pieces to get the dashboard to close, besides that, the radio looks great on the car. The radio on itself after the booting time works almost perfect, I have made and received calls and people get me clearly, the Bluetooth works great and the radio with the antenna gets the signal as it is supposed to. I use Android for my phone and the car android function works great with the cable Maps, Spotify, Youtube Music, and I*heart*Radio, works flawlessly, the only issue that I had has been entering an address on maps, sometimes the voice commands don't get it properly and I don't know how to use it or it doesn't have the option to type in the place.
Pros: Android car works great, clear calls.
Cons: Slow boot up

Patrick from Daly City, CA on 7/31/2022
1999 Toyota Tacoma
This unit has been in my truck for about a year now. As a platform for streaming music from my phone it has done pretty well, I've been quite happy with it. My big gripes are around the default-and-not-adjustable volume level - every time I start my vehicle, all volume controls get set to 0. Getting the volume up to a reasonable level means holding the volume + key down for a good ten seconds or so. That's merely annoying for music, but the call volume is a separate control that I can only reach while a call is in progress, meaning I have to race to reach down, find that little tiny button, and hold it down until they can hear me and I can hear them (the one control is for both microphone and speakers). I sometimes miss a call because I didn't accomplish this feat in time. I would have been happier with a unit that had a dial volume control. I had hoped that the double-din screen would be easily viewable from the driver's position in my vehicle (it's mounted low and not angled toward the driver), but there is generally too much glare during the day to see the screen without leaning over. Not the unit's fault, but buyer be aware. The Crutchfield wiring kit and instructions for this unit were impeccable and worked without a hitch. Highly recommend the pre-made wiring harness.

Absolutely awesome unit for my Jeep Grand Cherokee
Geoffrey from Joshua Tree, CA on 7/26/2022
2011 MINI Cooper
Utterly blown away. The last car I had with CarPlay was a 2019 Ford Edge - and believe it or not this little unit bests it by a mile. It's fast, the swiping action is sharp and crisp. And the display is good and bright. About the install: Honestly get the harness from Crutchfield. My total installation was less than an hour, and half that time was trying to figure out the weird instructions from the bezel folks (you need to remove the trim, but you don't need to remove any screws). Once it was on the mounts, the rest of the install was a breeze. Sound quality? Awesome. Steering controls on my 2007 WK Jeep Grand Cherokee? Perfect! All in all, can't recommend both Crutchfield and Boss enough. Great little unit, would happily buy this again.
Pros: Simple install, Wiring harness from Crutchfield saves time and makes this a virtually brainless install, audio quality and EQ is great
Cons: At this price point? None.

Exactly as described. Great update to an older factory unit (2002 Miata). Adds CarPlay and I also added backup camera. Instructions were precise and easy to follow. Admittedly the factory head unit was a tad finicky to remove, but not due to Crutchfield or the support materials. (Someone at assembly had jammed OEM radio a bit off center and brackets were inoperative) Clean look and very stock looking. Recommend it.
Pros: Easy to install. Easy to understand directions, and great support.

Both Units Died
David from Greenville, OH on 7/8/2022
2016 Chevrolet Cruze
I'll cut to the chase and say this Boss Package is worthless. I'm using it in a 2016 chevy cruze limited and I've had 2 sent to me and they've both died. I originally wanted to refund the entire order after my first one died after a month of using it. I was told since I didn't have the original packaging I'd have to pay restocking fees on everything and pay for shipping which seemed ridiculous. I have to pay restocking fees on all of these wiring harness, trim kits, adapters, head unit, etc. bc that main component dies on me? So I went ahead and had them send a replacement instead, hoping I just got a bad unit. Installed it and it worked for maybe two days and died again. Hopefully I can just refund the entire order and go back to stock for now. This boss gear has been a headache. Avoid at all costs wait for better brands to become available.
Pros: None since the unit dies, it becomes worthless.
Cons: Loses power within a months time if you're lucky Terrible backup cam quality. Overall low quality build.

Nice upgrade from Toyota stock radio. I'm enjoying hands-free, better sound quality (even with the factory speakers!). The next day I ordered all new speakers because I realized that one of mine is not working. Looking forward to learning and using all the capabilities of this unit, and even better sound from all new speakers.
Pros: Great sound, many more features than stock, nice looking, now hands-free. The only place I buy my car stereo gear! Anybody can sell the gear, but Crutchfield's service and tech support wins my business!
Cons: Instructions were a little thin on details but tech support was there to the rescue.

Good and Bad
John from Cleveland, Ohio on 6/12/2022
2006 Chevrolet Corvette
I purchased the Boss BE7ACP, dash kit, PAC wiring and purchased the ready harness (where it is all wired) for my 2006 Corvette. Start off by saying that I experienced great customer service while making the purchase (great advice), shipped very quickly and directions were spot on. I followed all the steps and the install went very good. Overall I was happy with the fit and ease of putting in. Here is where some should be aware and why I only gave it 3 stars..could be a 5 star but after install I put it in Apple CarPlay mode and made my first call. There was a horrible Echo on the other persons side and wasn't expecting that to happen. In Bluetooth mode there is no echo and the phone works great. Called customer support 2 times. First rep said it is an apple glitch and turn off noice cancelation, didn't work and also tried to call an android friend, did the same thing. Second call and this was a surprise.my answer was you get what you pay for in buying a low cost unit and no fix for the issue. I would have spent more money on a better unit if I was warned of the potential issue of the echo which each rep said they have heard that issue many times. So the unit is installed, not taking out and guess I have to live with it and only make calls on the Bluetooth. Feel this is something that customers should be aware of and maybe a discount my way would be expected??
Pros: Fit great, shipped as promised, directions good,
Cons: CarPlay phone calls have serious echo problem. Wasn't that impressed with Tech support regarding issue.."get what you paid for"

Pros: Easy to use, Apple CarPlay, ease of install

Not for a convertible
Brian from Edison on 5/29/2022
I give this radio a 4 in a sedan/suv and a 2 in a convertible. Cranked up as bright as i can get it in my convertible, the screen is not bright enough to see the map with the top down on a sunny day, the screen washes out. With the top up, the brightness is just ok. This is after lots of fiddling with the brightness control. Otherwise seems to work well, but quirky. For example, if i plug the android in for directions, the USB won't work. But if i get the music going with the USB first, I can then plug in the android and have both usb music and maps. Also, the usb only works with FAT32. this is not that big a deal, i downloaded a free app that can format any thumb drive regardless of size as FAT32. Finally, the USB out of the box did not work. I reached the tech, he told me to reset the radio, i did it with a paper clip, and the usb was fine after that.
Pros: works well with google maps. Works very well with music on a usb stick
Cons: display washes out in a convertible regardless of brightness adjustment. Quirky, requires android connected first and then usb for both maps and music to work at the same time (wierd) Cell phone periodically goes to sleep and disconnects the map. My wife was constantly unplugging and plugging the cell phone in, like, every 15 minutes.

Easy to Install with Package! Great Value!
Gerry from Killingworth, CT on 5/22/2022
2015 Volkswagen Passat
Installed in a 2015 VW Passat with Fender Premium sound system. I purchased this radio along with the Crutchfield-recommended package for installation into my specific car and bottom line it worked perfectly. Don't skip the package to save a few bucks. You'll need those pieces for your amp to turn on and other features of the radio to work. All features worked as I wanted including factory backup camera, steering wheel controls, and apple car play (which was not part of factory radio that died). Installation: Take your time. I mapped each connection from radio harness to installation package harnesses on paper first. Then twisted wires together, soldered and insulated each connection with shrink tubing and did a test run before mounting the radio. All worked as advertised. One last note, this radio has two roughly 2-foot USB connections. One for Apple/Android connection and one for charging. Where to place those for ease of use was a bit challenging. Would have been better if they were on the radio's bezel. But no big deal - I pulled out the trim around the shifter to pull out the ashtray (is it still called that?) snipped a little bit of the plastic on the right side of the ashtray and ran both wires into there and my apple wire behind my radio trim to keep everything nice and neat (see pictures). All in all very happy! Great value for the money!
Pros: Great price, features, look and ease of installation. Factory backup camera works, dims when lights go on, lowers volume when backing up, volume and channel buttons on steering wheel work.
Cons: Would have liked USB connections on radio bezel, but wires are plenty long enough for creative options. Thinking of getting a flush mount USB connector to put the connections somewhere on the dash. No front to back fader just left right.

Calls via the cabled Apple CarPlay connection give the external call receiver an irritating and constant echo of their own voice. Otherwise this works flawlessly and is a huge upgrade to the 2008 OEM radio in my Prius. Install was smooth, Crutchfield service, instructions, pricing and shipping time were excellent. Just a shame CarPlay calls are so poor as this was a major factor in choosing to upgrade. Calls made via the units Bluetooth connection work perfectly well.
Pros: Price compared to other units, features and compatibility
Cons: Poor CarPlay call quality

Great picture, bery convenient for the price!
Mason from Joplin, MO on 5/12/2022
Pretty decent product for the price. Came with the backup camera that was a little tricky to install, but it gets the job done. The wiring harness that was included from Crutchfield was phenomenal. The replacement AC controls for my '14 camaro was also very easy to install and great looking. The Bluetooth feature required a little bit of work to get the volume right, but overall it connects instantly. The apple CarPlay feature was also really handy. It charges and allows the user to access the phone contact through the touchscreen, all without having to look at the phone while driving. The only thing I wish was better was sometimes I start the vehicle and the audio fails to come through. This happens about once a week. In order to fix this, I just shut off the car for about 10-15 seconds, and restart. It works perfectly after that.
Pros: Great picture. Responsive touch screen. Charges phone with CarPlay or android audio. Easy convenience while driving. Great sound (audio and phone calls).
Cons: Spotify sometimes glitches out (easy fix). Blurry backup camera (occasionally). Long wiring process if you don't have the wiring harness. Tight fit.

I have enjoyed this unit since I bought it last year, there were some ups and downs with the install but things went into place after figuring it out! It sounds amazing! Easy to connect to my phone to use the Android Auto. But now... today the radio turned off and rebooted when I was going through radio stations and now... I cannot turn off the unit with the buttons on the radio and nor is my steering wheel controls work anymore, if I try to change stations on the radio nothing will work. Even factory resetting it does nothing, I can switch between AM/FM but it is just stuck on one station.
Pros: Nice screen, good controls, easy to install with the harness.
Cons: None that I can think of besides the unit no longer responding with the steering wheel controls or the Power, Vol + / - on it directly.

Don't waist your money!
Sammy from Houston on 4/28/2022
2014 Ram 1500
It's crap! I tried to like it, but I'm taking it out this weekend and throwing it away. I'm putting the stock radio back in. It's takes too long to start in my opinion. It's kind of hard to see if the sun is shining in that direction. Once a week I have to reset the volume on everything. If you turn the volume up it goes straight to zero. Everyday I have to redo the EQ. I'll get it set and it sounds perfect. The next day it'll sound like crap. Just spend more money and get a better brand. There's more negative, but I'm getting mad while writing this! Don't waist your money please!
Pros: It looks nice in my dash
Cons: More cons than pros to list.

Install was easy with the help of Crutchfield. The stereo is better than expected. I needed a cheaper stereo for my sons car and this fit the bill. The touch screen is very good and the features all work as expected. Its comparable to the touch screen stereo I have in my 2019 truck. I'm very happy with his purchase.
Pros: Nice upgrade touch screen is easy to use great features
Cons: None that I can see

Love this unit! Easy to install in my 05 Honda Element. I love the easy user interface - I've been pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to operate despite the amount of options.
Pros: Easy user interface, easy install
Cons: Slight bow in the bottom of the frame that went around the unit. I notice it but I doubt anybody else would.

Cheap...Do NOT recommend
Dante from Florida on 4/16/2022
2014 Toyota Tacoma
I have had this head unit for about 6 months now. I installed this on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma to replace the stock touch screen head unit after it quit working The mounts the unit came with to replace the stock head unit mounts are flimsy plastic, and I had to drill new holes in it because the existing holes mounted my radio too far out of the dash. The flimsy plastic mounts flex every time you push on the screen, and allow the head unit to bounce inside the dash over bumps. It made my rear-view camera quality horrible. My rear-view camera was always clear, night or day, with the stock screen. Now the sunlight washes the picture out during the day, it's incredibly grainy at night, and always way to dim. Seriously has made my backup camera practically useless. The whole thing is very glitchy. For example, the lights on the buttons of the head unit will not turn on unless you let the unit fully boot up with the car ignition turned on before starting the car. Another incredibly annoying glitch it does.There is a setting to set up the delayed power off time after your car is turned off. If this setting is set to anything but zero seconds, the volume uncontrollably is turned up and up and up for the duration of the delayed time. You cannot change the color of the button lights. They are only blue, and you cannot change how bright they are either. There is no bass, treble, fader, or balance sound adjustments on it..what kind of head unit doesn't have that???
Pros: Literally no pros. Nothing about this head unit is better than the stock touch screen head unit I used to have.
Cons: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap This is not a quality unit. Recommend spending a little extra for a half decent head unit, you wont regret it.

Installation Notes + Comments
Bernie from Durham, NC on 4/16/2022
2006 Toyota Sienna
With this purchase: -- Dash Kit ($9.26) -- The Crux wiring adapter for steering wheel controls ($43.72) -- Crutchfield's ReadyHarness Service ($24.99) Extra parts ordered elsewhere: -- BATIGE Square Single Port Car Mount Flush Cable USB 3.0 Panel Flush Mount Extension ($14.99, Amazon) -- Parking break bypass mechanism ($15, https://diybypass.com) -- EBOOT 20 AWG JST Plug Connector 2 Pin Male Female ($6.29 package of 10, Amazon) -- BACKUP CAMERA ONLY: Natika backup camera ($40, Amazon) -- BACKUP CAMERA ONLY: ASI 388 Clear Electronic Grade Silicone (non-corrosive) ($9.99, Amazon) Installation notes: -- I didn't like the two connectors included with Crutchfield's wiring harness, so I replaced them with the EBOOT connectors -- When adding the DIY Bypass to the ReadyHarness, I connected the 3 lines from the bypass to... o Boss's Red/Violet front camera power signal to power (could've used blue/white instead) o Boss's green parking break signal input (on harness) o Bared one of the EBOOT connector wires, loosened a screw on the back of the Boss unit, and screwed the bared wire down. Attached opposite EBOOT connector to DIY unit. -- Attached an EBOOT pair to both Camera cable's reverse signal input and harness's reverse signal -- On camera, I didn't cut reverse light power but stripped insulation off and soldered camera power to it -- Also on camera, I tied camera ground to a screw on chassis, rather than use
Pros: -- Crutchfield service is the best!! -- Best bang-for-buck. -- All the features you need; few that you don't. -- Decent/better quality than factory unit. -- Doesn't feel "cheap" -- Inconspicuous looking (less likely to get stolen) -- SD card slot frees up a USB port, allowing music USB to power external GPS. I chose to mount USB jacks on dash next to GPS, cutting down on cables. -- SD card slot means you won't have a USB stick protruding all the time.
Cons: -- I wish Crutchfield could add DIY bypass dongle to their wiring harness, but there's no way they'd be willing to do that for obvious reasons. -- Setting fade or balance is tedious. -- No way I can find at least (still a beginner) to turn off all music but keep front screen menu up.

Great when it works... However, not a day goes by that apple CarPlay stops working randomly during my drive. Also, the volume increases automatically every time my car is shut down and the key is removed. The volume increases by at least 15 by the time the unit loses power and shuts off.

Cons: Apple CarPlay stops working randomly, volume increases automatically when vehicle power is removed

Almost a good deck
Michael C. from Henrico, VA on 4/1/2022
2016 Nissan Altima
This could have been a 4 or 5 star product, however, the backup camera has a blaring problem. I brought this deck for my wife's car, and while the addition of apple carplay, and the improvement in sound over the factory deck were awesome, the issue with the backup camera prompted a quick return. The camera view is not only much darker than with the factory radio, but there is an inch line running across the top with the backup warning, obstructing the view. The banner is fully opaque, and blocks too much of the rear view. There are no settings to reposition it or make less opaque. This was a deal breaker for my wife, and we sent it back in exchange for a Sony AX-X3200.
Pros: Apple car play, all wires clearly labeled, better sound than factory deck.
Cons: Poor quality backup camera with large banner obstructing the view.

It lasted nearly a year. Stopped playing audio. Display showed everything was functioning, but no audio except turn notifications through CarPlay while using maps. Before that, it wouldn't store startup audio setting. It would just be full volume on start up. I should have known it wouldn't last when I took it out of the box and it was extremely light for its size. Trash.

Bought this unit along w/ the recommended wiring harness and mounting bracket to replace the factory radio in my son's 2007 Saturn Aura. The installation went smoothly thanks to the documentation and recommendations from Crutchfield. He's super happy w/ his upgraded stereo, and I'm pleased that we were able to install it without any trouble over the course of a couple of hours (a handier person could probably do it in 30 minutes!). I definitely recommend this stereo and Crutchfield!

Great basic head unit
Jason from LONSDALE, MN on 3/16/2022

For a basic head unit with Apple car play, this head unit is brilliant. Installing this by myself was difficult (due to adding the steering wheel control module) but, thanks to the fantastic tech support (Penny was an amazing help!) I got it all hooked up, tied in to the stock loom. - there's a bit of splicing involved. I can't thank Penny enough for all her help; she was polite, knowledgeable & a joy to deal with.

Warranty
John from Pelham, NH on 3/14/2022
I only gave 4 starts since I did have to use the warranty. 5 Stars for the company and handling the warranty claim. I had to use the warranty due to bluetooth connecting intermittently. I kept putting off calling crutchfield. The reason why I bought this over a better brand name was the 3 year warranty. Once I called crutchfield they sent me a brand new unit no questions asked, return shipping paid, everything! The new radio is installed and working great. What a great experience with this company. They really do want to take care of their customers. I wont go anywhere else for car stereo stuff.
Pros: Great radio for the money, way better than stock.3 year warranty
Cons: Had issues with bluetooth connectivity

Just terrible
Mike from Waipahu, HI on 3/5/2022
2013 Ford F-150 XL
Where do I start? I got it installed with the recommended kit and took it to a well respected shop. Wanted to give an honest review so I gave it time and I wish I didn't because I threw the box away before knowing how bad it was. The interface is okay when it works but it NEVER DOES. It factory resets every time I'm on the road driving. 90% of the time it cuts out and I have to plug and unplug it multiple time just for it to cut out and most of the time not even work at all. Just not a good product but I can't blame Crutchfield since they're just distributors but you guys need to seriously reconsider taking this off because it's 100% not a good product.
Pros: Easy to work
Cons: Everything else

A great modern upgrade to my 2010 Jeep. The Boss unit installs seamlessly with the Metra Dash Kit and looks better than factory. I installed Crux CCH-01W rear camera which integrates with head unit and looks factory clean. I replaced the driver side dash power outlet with Accele USBR2X port providing 2 USB connections for a clean factory look and fast device connection for Apple Car Play. The Crutchfield $25 ready harness service connected Boss unit's wiring harness to PAC wiring interface to plug into factory wiring (all but the camera connections) saving time and was money well spent. The Crutchfield 800 support line staff emailed photos simplifying the camera connection.
Pros: Modern features and affordable.
Cons: None.

The unit itself is good. HOWEVER, I spent hours trying to get the supplied steering wheel control interface to work. It never would, even after speaking with several tech support people (getting different answers each time). I finally broke down and took my car to a stereo installer to have them hook it up. They took one look and told me not to waste my money with them - in their experience the Axxess interface doesn't work well with Boss stereos. That would've been nice to know up front!!!!
Pros: display boots up quickly.

This product has some issues Bluetooth connectivity isn't the greatest constantly disconnects and reconnects can be annoying. The unit started flashing on and off and some time just completely reboots itself.
Pros: I love the apple car play and the harness that I got from Crutchfield was amazing it turned my temperature gauges from manual nobs to digital. Installation was easy.
Cons: I noticed that this winter my screen started to black out and at times it wouldn't work at all and I would have to turn the car off and back on for it to boot up correctly. The bluetooth constantly disconnects and reconnects from my phone not sure what the issue is there.

Very nice unit for the price. Unfortunately, my screen does not dim when headlights are turned on, even though wired according to instructions. However, even with brightness turned down, it is still plenty visible during the day. Also, the volume buttons are practically invisible on the left side of the unit. If you do not have steering wheel controls I could see this being a potential issue. Also, when installing, remove the bezel from the front of the unit and slide head unit in from backside of mounting adapter. I didn't realize the bezel was removeable and ended up trimming the mounting adapter unnecessarily.

I was looking for an aftermarket radio to put in my car, and knew it was going to cost to have it installed. I went to crutchfield.com and found the radio I wanted to get and also found out that I could get all the necessary wires and harness for the radio all in one place. They even offered to connect all the wires for me which was a HUGE time saver. Received the radio and all the components and I actually installed it myself! Thank you, Crutchfield for doing the wiring for me and for having all the components I needed for the radio. Saved me from going all over the place to find them. Thanks Crutchfield!!

Very Good!
Keith from Folkston, GA on 2/8/2022
I am very pleased with this radio so far. It modernized my 2003 Chevy Suburban. The Apple CarPlay works great when plugged into the USB and my phone connects flawlessly with Bluetooth if I choose not to plug it in. The microphone picks up great. I have it mounted on the steering column, but my wife can talk from the passenger seat and still be heard. The installation kit with wiring harness made installation a breeze. It retains all controls from the steering wheel and mounted in the dash with no issues. The harness has a control box wired in it that simplifies hooking up a backup camera. There is no need to search for reverse wires on your vehicle. You just connect the wires from the camera to the labeled wires on the back of the radio. It automatically powers up the rear camera when you shift to reverse. You also have the option to turn the rear camera on without the vehicle being in reverse. The sound is great through my stock Bose speakers. There are many features in settings that aren't available while driving. Some of those being the sound levels for various inputs. That is a nice feature because it lets you keep volume levels equal when switching between sources. I can't speak to longevity because I've only had it installed for 4 days, but I'm very happy with it so far. The features you get for the price point is hard to beat. I called tech support while installing the rear camera and got through immediately and received gre

Boss was the only company who offered a 3 yr warranty and had 2 USB ports. I was looking for a good priced touchscreen with 2 USB ports, Android auto, Bluetooth, able to view 2 cameras and have a clean looking front. Boss had all of it! The install was pretty straight forward after using the resources from crutchfield. First install I've done and it went pretty smoothly besides making small tweaks to the factory trim piece. I recommend this product!!
Pros: 2 USB cords Warranty 2 camera ports MicroSD port
Cons: None yet

Works for what it is
Jason from El Cajon, CA on 1/30/2022
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
I bought this deck to replace one that had gone out about a month ago so some stereo is better than no stereo. I didn't want to have to do a lot of work to get one to fit and really only care about the apple car play. This is a down grade from what I had (pioneer) but it burnt up and I didn't want to spend over 300 to get back up and going for now so I bought this deck. It is very basic and has limited functions but for someone upgrading from stock this would be a huge improvement. I don't like how the deck sends power to the amp and crossovers first and won't let you pick if you have an amp and crossovers to your door speakers so it lets a lot of bass to the doors. The first deck I bought was bad out of the box as the power antenna wire (blue with white stripe) was always how even with the truck off and key out of ignition so they are sending me a replacement one. The deck looks cool and seems nice but if your looking for quality and to be able to fine tune for amps, subs and tweets, spend some more money and get a better deck.
Pros: Nice size touch screen, dual usb on the back.
Cons: No crossover options, sends all power to crossovers, hard to tune.

Ernest from Escondido, CA on 1/22/2022
2005 Ford F-150
Excellent upgrade to the stock 2005 F150 stereo receiver. Everything that was needed was presented and the installation was easy. I purchased the pre-made connector adapter which made it easier. Android Auto works fine through the USB connection, which I routed down to the transmission hump. I had to try a few of my charging cables to find one quality enough for it to connect. On the stereo frame adapter kit, on the side panels, I had to break off the back, unused tabs for the new radio to fit through the dash opening. The parking brake wire must be grounded to chassis to function properly. I used the front facing bolt at the parking brake release, but any ground will work.

Im the Boss - radio that is!
Bill from Jamestown, SC on 1/15/2022
A great addition to my old '05 Ford F-150. After soldering the harness, the install went seamlessly, though I called tech support 3 times on questions and was immediately helped. Tech support was a deciding factor to go with Crutchfield. I've traveled over 1400 miles with the Apple CarPlay. My only problem is I have to use Bluetooth to call on the phone.I play Pandora with Maps or Waz on. The music sounds much better on the stock speakers with Boss.I've still have a lot to learn , but I'm enjoying it a lot now.
Pros: Good sound Fairly easy install Equalizer is great Good screen settings, light to dark.
Cons: Have to leave CarPlay to use Siri on my IOS 15.2.

Layton from Wimberley on 1/14/2022
2012 Ford F-150 XLT
I've had this unit installed for about 6 months. I want to like it, but there are two issues that just kill me. First, you can't see the screen at all with sunglasses on. I can't answer calls, change the song, or read the map without taking my glasses off. It seemed like a minor inconvenience at first, but the more I use it, the more I hate it. My second complaint is that the Bluetooth disconnects randomly. Usually, it turns right on, plays for a minute, then disconnects. I then have to just push one button to reconnect (after taking my sunglasses off of course). This happens most of the time I start my truck. Usually it happens once and then stays on for the rest of the drive, but occasionally, it happens over and over. I could plug it in and use CarPlay, but for short trips (which most of my drives are) or when the kids are controlling the music in the backseat, it's much easier to go wireless. All and all, it's much better than the stock radio. I just wish I spent a little more for a nicer unit.
Pros: Cheap Lots of features
Cons: Spotty Bluetooth connection Can't see the screen with sunglasses on

Replacing Wrangler Stock Stereo
Grant from Edwardsville, IL on 1/11/2022
2012 Jeep Wrangler
My stock receiver went out, and I wanted something with lots of function for the price. This model brought the CarPlay and steering wheel control options I wanted, and it wasn't so expensive that I would be constantly nervous about having the top off of the Jeep that now houses it. I got the Harness Ready service that made the self-installation a breeze. The sound has taken some fine tuning to work with the way I have my after-market sub wired, but that might just mean I need to eventually make use of the sub output that wasn't an option on the stock radio this replaces. I'm pretty sure that's on me. Overall, I'm a fan of the look, feel, and function of the receiver. I think I'll become a bigger fan of the sound once I play more with my sub wiring setup. It's a great option for the price!
Pros: CarPlay, SWC, price
Cons: FM reception, no easy preset tuning option, sound is appropriate to the price point

Michael from Peabody, MA on 1/11/2022
I like the receiver. Looks good and works well. It takes a while to load up each time I get in the car, but I understand that. It was a lot more difficult to install than I was led on. It required a tech support call, and beyond that we were told that it would be straightforward hooking up the steering wheel controls. The tech support guy said "this car is one of the more difficult ones." Because the screen controls are preferable to me than the steering wheel controls, we abandoned the steering wheel control hook up.
Pros: Nice features for the price point.
Cons: Installing all features in a 2012 Honda Civic is not easy. Removing screws from Honda was very time consuming. Needed small metric socket set, and even still, was very difficult to access four screws that needed to be undone.

Great option for Toyota tacoma
Matthew from Salt Lake City, UT on 1/10/2022
2009 Toyota Tacoma
For the money this is a great headunit. I installed this with a USB extension to have the carplay plug in inside my center console, which makes for no visible wires. Carplay, phone calls, EQ settings and subwoofer output all worked great. One weird thing is the blue button lights don't always come on, but when I switch my headlights on and off they always light back up, not the end of the world but a weird bug. Using the volume buttons is alright but I wish It had a volume knob instead. Overall I would buy the same stereo but with the volume knob if I had to do it again. Looks clean in my dash with the included metra dash kit.
Pros: Cost effective option for carplay
Cons: Blue buttons dont always light up volume buttons and not a knob

Great device at a great price.
Miguel from Prescott, AZ on 1/10/2022
I purchased this head unit and the recommended accessories (dash kit, wiring interface, and used Crutchfield's ReadyHarness service). I am very satisfied. Install went very well. I only had an issue with connecting the backup camera I also ordered. A quick call to Crutchfield support got me on track (I was connecting to the "Camera Power" wire and not the "Reverse Signal Input" so the head unit wasn't switching to the backup camera when I put the car into reverse). The unit itself has been great. I primarily bought this for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I have an iPhone and have been very happy with the functionality. I also use the Tuner of the stereo and am able to tune to a station and switch to Apple CarPlay and continue to listen to the radio. When I turn the car off and come back, the head unit remembers my setting and, as long as the phone is plugged in, will launch Apple CarPlay with the tuner playing. The backup camera will turn on almost immediately when I start the car and put it into reverse. The backup camera overrides the boot-up process and the, self acknowledging, warning that comes up. My stock speakers sound better with this head unit as compared to the stock unit I had before. I haven't taken calls since I installed it, but when testing during install the sound quality from the microphone to the person on the other end sounds good and the audio on the speakers is also very good. Overall I am very happy with my purchase a

Spent about an hour at the table soldering and heat shrinking the adapters. After that the installation was quick, maybe 15 minutes. Everything works perfectly the first time. Steering wheel controls, back up camera, turn off delay. I am very happy with my purchase! The BE7ACP is somewhat basic. no special wallpaper/logo import, no customized apps, but all of the functions I need are available through the Android auto interface.

Boss BE7ACP Review
Crutchfield customer from Virginia Beach, VA on 1/4/2022
Bought for my 2 daughters' Jeep Grand Cherokees. The unit sounds great, system is easy to setup and both girls are thrilled with the Apple Carplay interface. The receivers required the custom installation kit and I added the optional dual USB mounting bracket and cables so the Apple Carplay and Android Auto interfaces were available. But my Crutchfield Rep fix me up perfectly and everything needed was on hand.
Pros: The unit sounds great, system is easy to setup and both girls are thrilled with the Apple Carplay interface.
Cons: The installation instruction could have been more specific as the first unit's outer bezel interfered with the fitment, but once removed, all went together well for a clean look and function.

Very disappointing head unit.
Craig from Jacksonville, FL on 1/3/2022
2010 Honda CRV
I purchased this headhunt (Boss BE7ACP) for my wife's 2010 Honda CRV. We both wanted her to have CarPlay & handsfree capabilities which her factory stereo didn't provide, but didn't want to spend a ton as we will likely only have the car a couple more years. I selected this model due to the overwhelming positive reviews and the price point, but 4 months later we both hate it. The screen has a tendency to go black if you disconnect/reconnect a phone without power cycling the head unit. This is incredibly inconvenient since you have to turn the car off the power cycle the stereo (power button doesn't do the trick). The touchscreen is very finicky, and often requires multiple taps to get the button to recognize your finger. With CarPlay, Siri often has trouble with accurate voice recognition/translation to text. This is true for both my wife's phone and my own. No problems using Siri directly on either phone or with my car's factory CarPlay stereo. Not sure if this is a microphone issue or what, but I have no trouble understanding her when I have called her. We cannot for the life of us get the volume level of music played via our phones to stay consistent. The level seems to change randomly from song to song (different albums, artists, etc), and again not an issue in my car or with other external speakers. Bottom line: I highly suggest skipping this unit, and spending more on something nicer.
Pros: Price, if you are OK with paying this much for a potato.
Cons: Screen often goes blank. Touch screen very temperamental. Siri doesn't work the greatest. Volume levels of music played via CarPlay are radically variable from song to song, album to album. Bad enough that we are starting to use it less and less, and just driving with no music or anything.

It took me a little longer than I hoped, but much of that was just me doing a lot of things for the first time. The unit delivers great sound and works smoothly with Android Auto and the steering wheel controls.
Pros: Great sound Android Auto works well Steering wheel controls work smoothly

Great upgrade for a not-Smart factory stereo
Crutchfield customer from Atlanta, GA on 12/28/2021
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
This is a great upgrade to a 2016 hyundai santa fe factory head unit. I was wanting to use Android auto and the Boss BE7ACP did the trick. It is both cost effective and it looks great. It's not an Alpine (that why it didn't get all 5 stars) but it's pretty awesome. I highly recommend this unit. More than that, always but from Crutchfield.
Pros: -Cost effective - no knobs
Cons: A little slow on the start up. (I wish I could bypass the Boss startup screen and get right to the UI)

2002 Volvo S60
I bought this unit as a Christmas gift for my daughter to upgrade the factory radio in her 2002 Volvo. Installation went well thanks to the harness and faceplate kits. Works great so far and she's happy that she now has CarPlay or can stream audio by Bluetooth. I was afraid the 7"touchscreen wouldn't be big enough but it's nearly a perfect size for this car and is clear, easy to see/read. Controls are fairly intuitive and I like how when adjusting the volume provides a shortcut to the EQ function as well. I didn't opt for the backup camera or the steering wheel controls figuring if the car lasts we can add those later. I regret there isn't a wire in the car's harness I could connect the illumination wire to, the screen is pretty bright and a little distracting at night. Other than that she's happy with the new radio.
Pros: Large touch screen Updates an older car's audio system Easy to read and use Bluetooth and CarPlay
Cons: No lighting control with my car No SiriusXM. Separate controller needed to keep steering wheel controls

Let's say it's a good value. Several bugs and lots of very basic functionality, but it works, does Android Auto fine. It's about the least expensive solution out there, so you know there are some limitations - so what will you be missing? - No RDS or anything like that on the tunning - AM completely non-functional - FM - automatic gain control is poor so radio volume is pretty variable - If you tune (using SWC) nothing pops up on the display to tell you channel number etc., not important but kind of annoying. - Can't pair a second device while using AA to stream music from - Does disconnect from AA about every hour or so - The UI seems to work reasonably and isn't too awful, but there's nothing impressive and many minor inconsistencies. - I had a lot of trouble with the e-brake functionality, I was only able to pair with AA after it sat overnight and made sure to power up with brake on. Search the web, others had similar problems. - If you power up with the 'lights' on the button backlight doesn't work - Some combination of my SWC connection and ? seems to prevent the on/off button from doing anything (exchanged and 2nd one does both). It's not terrible, but I would probably pay for something better next time around.
Pros: Cost and generally functional
Cons: Marginal UI, limited functionality.

I have been using this for a couple weeks now and It's been a wonderful head unit. CarPlay is fantastic and everything on the unit works great. It was very simple to install and the screen is a matte finish which helps with the glare. The only negative is the slower processor speed, but it's only noticeable when trying to scroll on occasion.

2008 Saturn Outlook Modernized!
Dean from Parlin, NJ on 12/13/2021
2008 Saturn Outlook
I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook and while the stock radio worked fine it just did not have the hands free capability that you need these days. Android Auto is essential. Crutchfield by far had the best price and was up front about everything you would need to install yourself. I had to call in once to make sure I was connecting the steering wheel/chime module correctly, but other than that, installation was a breeze. I even got the USB connections looking factory. It's great! As for the head unit itself, I wish it had some ability to customize the startup screen and the radio interface was a bit more user friendly. Otherwise, it does the job for the money. Thank you Crutchfield!
Pros: Android Auto, looks factory
Cons: Radio interface, lack of customization options.

Since I got this for a 2021 XMAS gift, and have not installed yet, I can not give it a fair Review - YET - BUT I will say that I had to call Tech Support to get some of my questions answer prior to my installation (beating the Xmas rush of tech calls), and the person I spoke with with VERY knowledgably about my unit, the car I was going to install it in, and the wiring setup. I feel even more comfortable now, that I can do this myself, then I did prior to ordering the unit If things go as easy as the phone calls. My follow-up will be a raving review.

I did not have to modify the support bracket as stated in install notes. Overall, it was I straight forward install especially for a newbie like me. Had to reach out to tech help for a minor snag. Mahalo, Rudy! I absolutely love this Boss!

Inferior camera screen
Crutchfield customer from Mesa, AZ on 12/10/2021
Main reason for purchase was to increase the back up camera view. The camera view on this unit is so dark that it is basically useless even in day time. My original $30 camera and 4 inch screen are twice as clear. Will return the unit after talking to tech and learning there is nothing to adjust to improve it.
Pros: Easy install, menu user friendly.
Cons: Inferior camera screen

2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500
Overall very pleased with this unit especially for the price. The interface is good and touch-screen is very responsive. Android car-play works nicely when plugged in with usb and audio over regular Bluetooth when not plugged in is fine too. One note is that the voice for maps and phone calls and google assistant only go through the front speakers, which ultimately is fine, but I didn't realize my fronts were blown until installing the head-unit so it caused some confusion at first. Not a negative comment about the head unit though, just a note. I would like to be able to dim the screen more or even have the screen turn off while still having music play or GPS directions still come through but I don't see that as an option. Other than that no complaints so far after about 2 weeks of daily-driver use.

Boss BE& in 2005 Ford F-150. Works perfect.
Crutchfield customer from Dallas, TX on 12/6/2021
2005 Ford F-150
The Boss BE7ACP fit my 2005 Ford F150 pretty nicely. The USB cables attached to the unit are pretty long too. I will cut a few holes for the USB cables next to the cigarette lighter. The system is easy to set up and navigate, and the EQ levels are easy to work. The touch screen is responsive. ApplePlay and voice message work great. The sound is not as crisp and clear as the Sony head unit I pulled out. But not a deal breaker. Still 5 stars for hands free and other Iphone capable possibilities. The system navigation is pretty intuitive. I did all the wiring myself with the Metra 70-5521 kit and the Metra 95-5812 dash kit. And for a buck, heck yes. The Axxess AFDI-5V was a little confusing to hook up, so I used the inline 5v capacitor that was in my previous single din head unit before so I did not need the Axxess AFDI-5V to keep the stereo from popping when it comes on. t's been a week or so, I'm super happy.
Pros: Easy to use and navigate, works great with Iphone
Cons: Sound not as good as Sony, but for the price, C'mon! You can beat it.

2011 4Runner Limited. Factory deck stopped working. This aftermarket deck works great. Had many modules to retain all functionality and oem premium speakers and amp (and Party Mode). Looks and sounds fantastic. No problems, factory backup cam works as it did with stock head unit. Only downside is you cannot save favorite radio stations. Crutchfield support helped to make sure I had all items needed and helped on a Sunday to answer a couple questions I had during install.
Pros: Was able to retain oem speakers, amp, subwoofer and all steering wheel controls and connections.
Cons: Can't save radio stations.

BOSS Audio BE7ACP
Natalie from Chicago, IL on 12/3/2021
2007 Honda Fit Sport
From the start I was not a fan of this unit. The audio quality is good but the everyday use leaves a lot to be desired. Installation was simple and it's a very compact light unit. It doesn't look good though as it sticks out weird on my dash but is sunken in so touching the screen or pressing buttons is awkward. It's a really low end OS on this thing too. It's slow, no customization, and no reorganization available. The main reason I got this was to use it with my android phone and it was one of the very few stereos in stock. Bluetooth use takes so many steps just to get things playing. Plugging it in and using android auto is too clunky and slow. It's a decent idea but day to day it's just annoying and I just want to get in my car and go. The brightness isn't great for daytime use, especially with a lot of sun. The unit doesn't save settings so if your battery gets disconnected or drains your radio stations are gone and settings are all reset. The unit takes a good 10 seconds to boot up every time you start the car. Reading an SD card takes 20-30 seconds and navigating music on your SD is near impossible. It also doesn't save your settings if you switch to another music function. I'm annoyed not having a physical next button. I have to actually look at the screen to do anything. Something I didn't realize I'd miss so much by swapping out a stereo with buttons.
Pros: Easy install Good audio Decent EQ settings Power button mutes audio Physical volume buttons
Cons: Doesn't save settings between functions Battery dies, settings erase Screen too weak for sunlight Using android auto is a hassle Slow to boot up and switch audio modes Not actually safe to use while driving Temperamental about SD cards Backup camera buttons always there even when disabling backup camera Carplay and Android auto icons huge, no way to change their order or size

Not a bad unit but some core functionality is missing from the tuner (RDS support). Installation was a breeze. System operation had no issues neither did bluetooth or android auto sync. Contacts not being able to be retained was a deal breaker and the system is being returned.
Pros: sleek design, easy install and functionality.
Cons: Lack of RDS support, loss of contacts each time the vehicle is turned off.

Great deal with good capabilities. There are a few things that take getting used to Vps other systems. For example, for radio favorites, they aren't along the bottom for easy access, you have to go into favorites and then it's a vertical scrolling list. I also miss having a volume knob. However, pleased with radio and ease of installation.

Cons: No volume knob (minor, but listing).

Boss BE7ACP, second install
Crutchfield customer from Rocklin, CA on 11/23/2021
2003 Ford Escape
second install of this item. First in an older Toyota corolla. Fits great with Metra adapters. I don't use it but Apple Car play works great I'm told. Just installed the second unit in a '03 Ford Escape. Does not fit as nicely but its not unattractive. Works well and really appreciated the included USB extensions. Had to switch off illumination because the display flickers when headlights are on. Switching backup camera DOES require a relay if using the taillight trigger! Metra adapter could be much better. I cut it WAAAAAYYYY down to fit in the space. Recommend finding another adapter if possible. Also had to cut the OEM sub dash but only a little bit. Multi-tool worked great! Lastly, directions for Metra kit are very poor, only a couple of pictures.
Pros: looks good, functions well, excellent price, very good options included!
Cons: None, really. Metra adapter for '03 Ford Escape is a poor fit.

Crutchfield customer from Ramona, CA on 11/22/2021
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500
All in all, this unit is pretty good. It took me a while to get the rear camera to work and still, now I have two sets of lines, which I don't like to have. It does pair with the phones quite easily. Still have to figure out how to switch from one to another, but when connected, it controls the phone easily. The sound is pretty good, although I'm not too worried about that since this is a truck can be be a little loud.
Pros: Pairs with phone easily. Good sound. Nice menu. Very nice screen that includes a maximum area. Has both front and rear camera inputs. Equalizer function with different settings.
Cons: The CYA screen that appears when starting the vehicle needs to go. The backup lines should be options so you can select whether you want them or not. The backup warning on the screen to look around should also be eliminated. Again, this is CYA from the company - Include a warning sheet in the owners manual and remove it from the screen since it also takes up space on the screen.

Douglas from ALHAMBRA, IL on 11/10/2021
I had some issues with the wiring of my backup camera, and with the dimming feature of the head unit. Once those were resolved, all fell into place, and the system works well. The manual is not very thorough, and some of the settings were a little hard to figure out.
Pros: Simple interface, good amplifier, built-in equalizer, ample customizations, good overall sound.
Cons: Doesn't retain phone contacts or call history - have to download them every time the phone is reconnected. Dimming function could be a little dimmer. Manual lacks detail. Android Auto works only wirh wired connection, not wireless.

Excellent! with small quirks
Crutchfield customer from Los Alamos, NM on 11/2/2021
2015 Subaru WRX
Excellent! Apple Car Play is a dream (wired only)! The stand alone interface is nice too. A couple quirks: 1. Every time the unit is reset the volume is set to "default", which can be set, but is almost certainly not where you left it. 2. The screen doesn't support scrolling arbitrary scrolling, instead up and down gestures are recognized to move lists a fixed distance, like pushing the up and down arrow buttons. 3. The instructions say to wire into the parking break, but you can just add that wire to the 12v accessory wire and the stereo with think you are always parked and give you free reign in the interface, and it's way easier. Your Welcome!
Pros: Apple Car Play, decent base interface
Cons: Volume buttons instead of a knob, which is mostly annoying cause the volume resets to "default" at each start up.

We replaced an aftermarket Sony single DIN head unit in a 2008 Tiburon with this Boss unit. Recommend to everyone to use the wire harness service Crutchfield provides - totally worth the $$. Caution, we had to trim the plastic adapter bracket more than once in order to attach after wiring and so the trim would fit back in place. Two screws on the bottom of the clock portion of the trim prevented it. Had to take everything apart and grind down. Seems like a good unit for the price. Still dialing in all the features.
Pros: Touchscreen, size.

Crutchfield customer from New York, NY on 10/30/2021

I wanted to like this unit but had an issue with callers hearing themselves with a bad echo when making voice calls with CarPlay. I reached out to support with a different issue and was not impressed with how the agent handled themselves. This was the first time trying a product from Boss Audio and I will never do it again. Ended up paying $50 more for a pioneer radio that had no issues with voice echos.
Pros: - Low cost radio if you don't care about making voice calls with CarPlay
Cons: - Issues with voice calls an the caller hearing a bad echo of themselves - Screen is set back from the face of the radio - Not great tech support with Boss Audio

Bought this with the ready harness service and the package to retain the steering wheel controls. 100% recommend the ready harness to anyone like me who isn't too familiar with messing with wires. The unit itself looks pretty good in my 2012 Rav4. It took me a couple mins to figure out exactly where some of the wires went but once I did it was plug and play. The Apple CarPlay on screen makes navigation so much easier and safer. Screen is bright and very clear even in the sun. User interface is VERY simple and easy to navigate. I've heard some bad things about Boss head units but this one seems to be quality. I use Crutchfield for pretty much anything I put in my car.

Good
Crutchfield customer from Sugar Land, TX on 10/20/2021
2006 Honda CRV EX
I installed this in my 2006 Honda CR-V. Everything was easy except for the brake wire - none of the instructions included anything about where or how to connect that line to my vehicle. I had hoped that Crutchfield's usual attention to detail would extend to that wire as well. Oh well. I knocked off a star because, like all of the units these days, it does not have a front USB. You end up with these extra cables that you have to *somehow* route out of the dashboard so that you can plug in your phone. Again, no help in the instructions, they just leave it up to you to work it out. So, mine are still just dangling out the front of my dash where I ran them through a tiny gap I had left after installing the head unit. Not pretty, but it works. Providing USB ports and a microphone line-in on the front bezel would have been much better. Once installed, it works well. When I plug in my phone, it flips automatically to Android Auto, which is great. The settings are mostly pretty easy to understand - and it comes with a decent manual to help explain some of the odder ones, like "Loudness", which is an on/off toggle. I quickly got the volume and options set where I wanted them. I'm quite happy with this overall.
Pros: Affordable, Android Auto, Bluetooth
Cons: Rear USB and microphone are a PIA

I saw some online reviews indicated the wallpaper could not be changed from the 6 options pre-installed on the radio but that's not really true. Using the USB I'm able to use my own custom wallpaper. Sound is good and even though I've installed plenty of radios, I used Crutchfield's wiring service and the install was seamless. I did have one question regarding the reverse camera power wire and Crutchfield rep Nolan (very professional and friendly) answered my question and I was up and running!
Pros: Android Auto Sound Quality Customization Easy Installation
Cons: None

Poor FM Reception
Crutchfield customer from Carlsbad , CA on 10/13/2021
2010 Mazda 3
I would give this unit 5-stars, considering price, but the FM reception is terrible. Crutchfield, was very responsive to my calls, but were ultimately unable to help with the poor FM reception.
Pros: Price and features.
Cons: Poor GM reception.

Android Auto Functionality Is A Joke.
Robert from APEX, NC on 10/7/2021
2009 Ford Mustang
I've had this head unit for 2 months now and Android Auto will not stay connected. After a minute or so the device will disconnect and on occasion reconnect but only for another minute. I've tried 5 different USB-C cables, 2 from Powerzone, 1 from Anker, and 2 from UGreen; but the issue still persists. I tried using different phones, reinstalling the Android Auto App, and performed a factory reset on the head unit but nothing improved it. The weirdest part is sometimes the phone still thinks it's connected to Android Auto yet it won't open on the head unit.
Pros: Bluetooth, voice commands, price
Cons: Poor Android Auto functionality.

Guest from Portland, ME on 9/30/2021

I put this in a 2007 Escalade. It's almost like throwing $400 into the wind. The factory backup camera does not work unless you have the head unit in "camera" mode. So, if you start the car and the radio is on, the camera does not come on. To get the camera on, you have to go through several button presses, more if using CarPlay, to the point where you just give up. Worse, if you do get the camera on, the image is mirrored and there's no way to adjust it. I contacted customer service and they suggested I buy a different unit. Unfortunately, other options are not in stock - for months. Also, I can't really tell, and the owners manual doesn't say, what format files need to be if I wanted to use the SD card. Also, the radio favorites are buried. It takes at least two button presses to even find favorites when listening to the radio; they aren't accessible from the screen when generally listening to the radio. On the up side, install is easy, especially if you get Crutchfield's wiring harness and CarPlay is good. But, overall, I would not buy this again or recommend it.

The amount of features you get is very nice, especially considering the price point. To upgrade from stock to this unit with Carplay, equalizer, and numerous other features is definitely worth it in my opinion. Install wasn't too bad - took me a little under 2 hours. Worked great with no problems out of the box.

Disappointed
Crutchfield customer from Lk Havasu Cty, AZ on 9/30/2021
This an ok radio it doesn't always hook up to my phone automatically, sometimes the volume is not working right, I hit the volume down and all it does is mute the sound so I have to hit the volume up til I get it where I want it. If I have to try to turn the volume down again it mutes it and the whole thing starts all over again. The picture for the back up camera will flicker once after I put it in reverse. I'm sorry but not really pleased with the performance of this radio, for the price I would expect better quality.

Pleasantly surprised.
Crutchfield customer from Oronogo, MO on 9/26/2021
2006 GMC Sierra Denali
I was a little skeptical at first about buying boss, usually known as lower end product, I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of their radio. Works great with my Bose speakers. Easy to use while on the road, lighting is just bright enough for daytime, but not to bright at night. I paid the extra $25 for the harness bundle, best $25 I've spent in a long time. This was truly plug and play! It fits nicely in my 2006 Sierra 1500 looks almost like factory ( if factory offered an upgraded radio that year). Hands free works well, but you have to connect to it every time you get in to the truck, kind of a pain, but I'll get used to it. First world problems, Right!? I added the backup camera and trying to figure out where to run the wires was a bit of a challenge, but it works well has good clear picture both day and night. We had a little question about where to plug in some wires on the back of the unit, but customer service was awesome and quick to answer. My son is going to buy one now for his custom Bug and my work partner is looking to get one for his 2004 Silverado. I'd highly recommend this unit to anyone looking it replace or upgrade.

So nice even the wife commented twice!
Crutchfield customer from Sugar Land, TX on 9/16/2021
2009 Volkswagen Eos
I'm currently driving my wife's hand-me-down VW Eos. I spruced it up with this Boss head unit. During her first ride as a passenger with the new radio installed, she was so impressed that she complimented it twice. My wife is difficult to impress. Even if she is impressed, she won't always give me the satisfaction by saying so. Two comments was huge. 1. The installation was tedious, but worth it. The packaging came with almost everything I needed except the wire connectors. I went to the auto store to get electrical heat shrinking tube. I would have rather purchased the ones recommended by Crutchfield: "Posi-Products posi-twist connectors." 2. The touch screen is capacitive like your smart phone. The Boss screen is bright, clear, and responsive. I also appreciate the volume buttons along the left panel. 3. The accessories provided allowed for my steering wheel control to function - my wife made note of that too! 4. The sound is exponentially better than the factory radio. Now my speakers are living up to their potential! 5. Apple CarPlay works like a charm. 6. If you don't want to use CarPlay, the BT is a good option. 7. The hands-free call system is flawless. The unit comes with a microphone. 8. During install, I took the extra time to remove several panels in the car to disguise the wires, especially the long USB wires. I even hid the microphone. My next purchase will be a sleek amp with sub-woofer in the trunk. Big ups to Crutchfield</mark.

Super Easy Installation and Use
Triston from Brigham City, UT on 9/15/2021
2009 Mazda 6
I bought and installed this head unit in a 2009 Mazda 6i. Probably the easiest installation of a stereo I have ever done. Total time from opening the car door to completion was about 45 minutes. It was super easy to navigate once installed as the menu's are pretty basic with no drilling down to find something. The quality of the sound is 100% better than the stock unit it replaced without replacing the stock speakers, although that might be next on my list.

Good radio, one irritating bug.
Benjamin from Novi, MI on 9/11/2021
Bought this for my Solara with the suggested Crutchfield tools and parts, and install went relatively smoothly. An issue came up shortly however where if I turned off my car but didn't remove the key from the ignition, the radio would start to turn itself up in volume before being turned off due to a loss of power. Not the biggest deal in the world on its own, but multiple times now I've turned on the vehicle and the radio has turned itself up to its maximum volume of 50 for no discernable reason. Otherwise, I've had no issues with this radio except for it being a bit dim and not being controllable by my old iPod, but I didn't expect it to when I bought it.

Works Okay, Wanted It For Apple Carplay
Crutchfield customer from Boise, ID on 9/2/2021
2020 Dodge Grand Caravan
This unit is fairly easy to install. I chose the option to have the Crutchfield team pre-wire the connectors so that made it super simple. The dash adapter kit was somewhat difficult to understand how the pieces go together but in the end I figured it out. It's very nice to be able to have Apple CarPlay. Things I'm not a huge fan of. the screen is a bit hard to see due to reflections in the car and the screen could stand to get a bit brighter on the brightest setting so I'm going to try finding an anti-reflective screen film. Also, I couldn't get the rear camera power to power the camera so I had to tap into the backup lights for the camera power. Lastly, not a fan of it needing to have an external microphone but the supplied one is small and easy to hide. For the price, you get good features and it works well. I'd recommend it if you're looking for an affordable replacement stereo with CarPlay. Oh, wish it came with a volume knob too buttons work well enough.
Pros: Easy enough to install. Apple CarPlay. Affordable. Responsive
Cons: Screen gets glare bad. Needed a replacement backup camera. Would prefer a built in microphone. Would prefer a volume knob to the buttons.

You really get what you paid for. This thing has an interface that screams cheap as it looks like it was designed 20 years ago. It is not responsive at all. The screen resolution is awful. I have this random problem with the volume sometimes automatically goes to max, scaring the crap out of me. I wish it had a volume knob because it is absolutely impossible to control the volume at night unless you know which button to press.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Severely outdated interface, slow starts, weird volume glitches, no volume knob, terrible screen.

Does what it says on the tin. :-) Haven't tried CP yet, but AA was quick to connect and responsive on a Motorola X4. Bluetooth only mode also pairs quickly and has good sound quality for streaming and calls. Mic picks up well for calls. Backup camera quick to activate. Overall, very nice feature set, especially for the price. Only time will tell about durability, but Boss includes a 3 year warranty. Several reviews mentioned the screen being too bright at night. Haven't actually driven at night yet (son's car) to test, but the brightness setting for night mode seemed to go pretty low and the BE7ACP automatically dimmed to this setting with headlights on using the Crux harness for a MkVI Jetta. I haven't looked for an option to turn the screen off entirely, if desired, but most units seem to have such a feature tucked away somewhere. Biggest con I found during testing was the time/date doesn't get set automagically once a phone link is established. That's reaching pretty far to find a nit to pick. There could easily be much worse to complain about, especially in a unit at this price point. :-) I've seen built-in factory navigation systems that wouldn't pick up time/date from GPS, so it's certainly not unique to Boss.

I would give this head unit a 5-star review if it was not for the large amount of RF interference it produces in the VHF band. I have contacted Boss about this and am awaiting a response. Hopefully they will rectify the situation and I will not have to contact the FCC about the issue. Other than that this unit works very well, particularly for a unit in this price range. The volume controls (and beep) are a little bit annoying but that is what you get without a knob. The display could be a bit brighter and with higher contrast capability for daytime viewing (I have it adjusted to the max) but it works reasonably - just hard to see details on Google Maps satellite view in the daytime compared to other Android Auto-capable systems.

Great inexpensive option to bring your vehicle into the world of apple car play. The UI is clean and easy, and the sound quality is good. Just installed in a Ford Transit 350 XL (15 passenger van) and drove from SA, Texas to Orlando, Florida with 7 teenagers and 5 pre-teens. Had a great trip, made mapping the drive easy and allowed us to listen to podcasts, listen to music, and use the phone hands free. Would highly recommend.
Pros: Inexpensive Apple Carplay Good quality touchscreen Good sound quality
Cons: Minimal EQ

Good investment to update car
Crutchfield customer from Williamstown, NJ on 8/2/2021
2010 Mercury Milan
This product functions incredibly. I saw reviews and videos that talked about it being good but lacked in this department or that department etc but it was absolutely incredible. Only complaint would be a glossy and somewhat dim screen when in direct sunlight.otherwise great. Connects very quickly to my Google pixel phone has a ton of good features is snappy and sounds good too
Pros: Fast processed overall great features
Cons: Slightly dim screen

Crutchfield customer from Columbus, OH on 8/1/2021
Overall a good head unit. The screen sits a bit far back so the side touchscreen buttons are a bit harder to press. I had an issue with EQ not being read on this unit as well as the 850ACP model. Crutchfield replaced both of them and I ended up with a Jensen unit. Crutchfield did a great job and replaced them essentially no questions asked. Great customer service!

Failed components but support is FANTASTIC!!
Crutchfield customer from Wixom, MI on 7/31/2021
The Boss radio is dim during the daylight. None of the wiring harnesses have worked and that includes any of the interface modules. Waiting on a direct hard wire harness and new interface modules. The support has been fantastic through Crutchfield so I give that a 11 star rating!!!!!
Pros: Support group.
Cons: Special harnesses did not work.

It has been 10 years since my last Crutchfield purchase, probably another 10 for the one before that. I would never consider shopping for car stereo anywhere else.

Jeff from Minneapolis, MN on 7/29/2021
2009 Honda Fit
So far (installed 1 week ago), this is working great. Fairly easy installation in my 2009 Honda Fit while using the many references (in package and on website) provided by Crutchfield--I had one question along the way that they answered (there wasn't a long wire to run to the parking break included with the receiver, but it turns out that you can use speaker wire). No problems with Android Auto (or anything else). The interface and functionality all around is actually better than I anticipated for the money. I attached photos, of which at least a couple were taken when the sun was shining on the screen (also, shows the Accele USBR2X USB extension that I put in, for easy access).
Pros: Easy installation. Modern functionality.

maddog from Chadds Ford, PA on 7/25/2021
2015 Toyota Corolla
This product is low quality. I am very unhappy. the radio stops working after about 5 or 10 minutes of driving. Also there are additional problems not related to the product, but related to Crutchfield's incompetence and lack of customer service. i bought this radio for 2 reasons. my son got his license and i wanted a backup camera and gps on the dash. so bought this piece of junk along with the useless install kit for $100. first issue was that the camera did not come on automatically when i put it in reverse. so they told me i had to manually solder a wire even though i spent all the money on the install kit. so i took the whole dash apart and soldered the wire. next problem was that it did not work with android auto so after buying a new phone trying different cables and taking dash apart to plug directly into the unit Crutchfield tells me i have to take the literally the whole dash off to solder another wire. i would not waste time or mony on BOSS or Crutchfield again.
Pros: none
Cons: radio does not work sold by Crutchfield

Crutchfield customer from Philadelphia, PA on 7/23/2021
2014 Honda Civic EX
The screen is not bright at all. The camera inputs are so dark it's almost as if it's night time. The normal screens are also very dim and any streak of light will make it illegible. This was with max brightness/gamma settings. In the end, I exchanged for a Sony XAV-AX150, I would definitely spend the extra $50 for it if I were you starting out.
Pros: Affordable
Cons: Screen is not bright at all Settings are forgotten, often need to change the same setting multiple times

Brought an 07 Fit into modern times - without breaking the bank
Dhammika from Lutherville Timonium, MD on 7/21/2021
2007 Honda Fit
Installed this unit in a 2007 Honda Fit base - getting the old hear unit out was the most difficult part . Head unit is light weight, functions seamlessly with apple car play and I mated it to a Boyo VTL17ir Universal backup cam with infrared night vision. Install was relatively easy - the hard part was fishing the backup camera cable to head unit. Its compact enough to fit in tight spaces.
Pros: Apple Car play integration is seamless - siri button makes it easy to communicate with unit. Touch screen response is perfect. Great bang for the buck
Cons: I would it has to be mounted perpendicular to you vision line or the back up camera image is washed out

Wow!!! Removing my truck's OEM stereo and installing this BOSS stereo was easy and straightforward. Getting the wiring harnesses pre connected from Crutchfield was such a timesaver and well worth the extra $. The best part was turning on the engine with my iPhone plugged in, and the system started up right away without any glitches! This stereo does everything I need!! Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend!
Pros: Easy to install and get started using.

There can be a glare problem when driving in sunshine it sometimes hard to see the display even when the display brightness is set to high. I anstalled it in a 2017 Toyota Rav4 and it works great with the USB and Aux input and steering wheel controls as long as you purchase the Crux SWRTY-61N Wiring Interface.

Unusable
Quincy from PORTLAND, OR on 6/9/2021
2005 Volkswagen Jetta
Looks nice and sounds good when it works, but I must have gotten a defective unit because there's a good 5 second delay after every tap just to get through the built-in settings in the radio (not even within Carplay). Speaking of Carplay, the lower left hand side of the screen seems to be sticking, because each time I try to get to the menu/app screen, it brings up Siri because it's detecting a long press, so the only way to get to the built-in Boss Audio menu is to unplug my phone. It worked great the first hour but then quickly became worthless.

I'm a car audio snob, I admit. I've always viewed Boss as a lower end product, and in this case I was very wrong. When I set out on my search for a new head unit I had some very specific requirements and the Boss BE7ACP hit every single one of them at a very fair price. Everything in the install was easy and setup was a breeze. I would not hesitate to buy another one, and plan to if/when I buy a more daily driver vehicle.

I've had this unit for a few days now and have gotten familiar with it. For the price it's a good unit. No lag on the screen and buttons are very responsive. CarPlay was main reason I wanted an aftermarket unit and it works great. Sound out of it is decent in my 2002 Mustang GT with Mach 460 system. I was skeptical about going with Boss but it was in stock so I rolled the dice. For this price with all the harnesses and a mounting kit included I think it worth it.

Great Aftermarket Car Receiver
Crutchfield customer from Ringgold, GA on 6/2/2021
2015 Nissan Rogue
This turned out to be a great purchase. I purchased this model for the CarPlay functionality and have no problems with it at all! I purchased the recommended cabling and modules that adapted to my 2015 Nissan Rogue SV (6-Speaker, non-Bose, no navigation) and it made the process of installation incredibly simple. I still have to do a little extra troubleshooting to get the rear camera more visible during bright daylight and night, as it is a lot dimmer that the original manufacturer receiver/screen.
Pros: Intuitive design, easy to install with modules and cables from Crutchfield.
Cons: Wiring confusion at points, but tech support can help

Quirky but the price is right and sounds okay
Mike from Flowery Branch, GA on 5/26/2021
2007 Mazda 3
Works ok, sounds decent but it does have its quirks. For instance, when using the "user" option on the EQ it doesn't seem to hold the settings. The bars stay in the same locations, but the sound changes. Sometimes when I adjust frequencies I move the bar one spot, then the entire sound spectrum changes across the board. Very strange. I've found it best to turn the "loudness" to "on" and set the EQ to "flat" to combat the issue. Works ok I guess but it would be nice to have the EQ work properly.
Pros: Good sound Decent power output Good value Backup camera Fully adjustable ubwoofer outputs
Cons: EQ seems to work only when it wants to Screen glare makes it hard to see in daylight

Crutchfield customer from E Stroudsburg, PA on 5/25/2021
I purchased this to upgrade a 2002 Camry LE for my son to use for daily driver to & from work. Wanted safety features to make his 45 min commute as safe as possible. Had to have Bluetooth for music and phone calls, had to have a backup camera connection, I choose the BOYO VTL422TJS, (can read my review for thoughts and suggestions) lastly had to have Android Auto / Apple Car play so that all the usual features are on the screen of the radio. Installed the radio and camera and after a few calls to tech support, Crutchfield really does have the best Tech Support, I had the radio wired and working, kind of. Sound is great even on 20 yr old speakers, tuner picks up all HD and Alt FM channels great. USB and SD card slots,bluetooth etc. Small issue with Android Auto so a call to TechSup to find out that there is a "known" issue with Samsung Android Auto and some after market radios as well as some factory radios with Samsung S10's and S20's using the current version of the phone app and or the actual phone OS that fails to make the connection. Radio gives a "Video input"not found error. Crutchfield is sending a new replacement radio to make sure the radio is not at fault. Gotta love CrutchField !! I'll update this review if the replacement radio works, which is what I'm hoping is the problem; otherwise I'll be returning the radio I took off 1 star because of the Android Auto issue. Product Specialist didn't know about issues that Tech Support knew. Stuff happens
Pros:
Cons: Android Auto connectivity issue is a BIG CON

Crutchfield customer from Fife, WA on 5/24/2021
2008 Suzuki Reno
It worked great for about a month Then when I would get in my car and first start it the volume would be super loud, even if I had the volume at zero the time before. The volume wouldn't change unless you pushed the + button on the volume. And now I have no control over the volume whatsoever. Also found the stereo for $30 cheaper on the shelf locally.
Pros: The idea is great. when it works properly it's amazing
Cons: Seems to go bad after a while Lag in the GPS app

Good unit, having CarPlay problems
Crutchfield customer from Austin, TX on 5/14/2021
2012 Toyota Tundra
Looks very nice, the screen is responsive, and it seems relatively customizable. My main complaint is that I'm having issues with CarPlay randomly disconnecting while the phone still is receiving power, there doesn't seem to be any "trigger" either (jostling/still, low power/full charge, short cord/long cord, etc). BOSS's customer support wasn't very helpful either, preferring to blame Apple. Still haven't found a solution, but unsure as to what the root cause is.
Pros: Responsive screen, looks nice, multiple options for connectivity, good sound quality
Cons: Customer support, CarPlay disconnecting

Replaced Old 2007 Factory Stereo with Modern Tech
Crutchfield customer from Cincinnati, OH on 5/13/2021
2005 GMC Yukon XL
Great stereo, everything works as it should. Welcomed me to the modern era to use bluetooth and Apple Car Play. Touch screen is very responsive, and works with existing steering wheel controls (volume, input, etc). Note, that it comes with 2 female USB dongles (one very short, maybe 3", and the other around 3' (only for Apple Car Play/Android Audio). With drilling a simple hole in the bottom of the dash, insert this device (has 2 female on the outside, and 2 male 3' cords in the back) and plug into the 2 female USB from the stereo. Now I have a nice clean interface ! Just a few minor issues: - A little disappointed that the mic is a separate mic and not integrated into the car's existing OnStar microphone. - The volume for google maps can ONLY be adjusted while the map is talking to you. This was difficult to determine the volume setting as that is the only place I can determine how to change that volume setting, is when it talks. - The instructions that came from Crutchfield did not indicate that I had to remove the case around the stereo, I was attempting to put the dash kit around it first, and of course it didn't fit. Would have thought the instructions would have stated to remove the case.
Pros: - Good Stereo, fits car perfectly.
Cons: - Integrated microphone into car's OnStar and volume control for maps audio. - Recommendations for USB to plug

Android radio is fun, but not flawless.
HardWired from New York, NY on 5/12/2021
2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
The install was pretty straight forward. It did require a call to Crux, because the adapter instructions were not accurate for a Subaru Crosstrek. The unit is a little hinky. It takes several seconds to boot at power on. It connects automatically to Android phone when you plug the phone in, but you need to unlock the phone first. Conclusion: Android radio is much better than factory non-Android radio, but I am left wondering if I should have paid more for better functionality.
Pros: - more power than factory Clarion radio - Android Nav is useful - one touch to swap between nav and music app in Android mode - music app thumbnail at bottom of nav screen is useful for apps, but not for radio tuner - phone call interface works well
Cons: - requires a couple clicks to go between radio and nav - radio seek function does not work (on my particular radio) - I lost menu and exit functions from steering wheel (other steering buttons do work) - no split screen to view nav and music side by side - touch screen reaction is slower than on your phone

Well-Rounded
Crutchfield customer from Saint Louis, MO on 5/10/2021
2008 Mazda 3
I absolutely love this head unit for the price. It is a very well rounded head unit and every function works as it should. CarPlay and Android Auto are fantastic, and I love the Equalizer options (you get presets for music genres and total control over custom settings). I do wish the screen got a little brighter for those times where the sun is absolutely blasting the screen, but the non-reflective screen does a good job at combating that. I'm glad that the bluetooth playback screen doesn't try to clutter the screen with garbage, preselected album art like Fords do. The mic sounds pretty great for being included with it. I do enjoy the mic button on the bottom for those cars that do not have a dedicated voice command button on the steering wheel. The button LEDs are only blue, so keep that in mind if you care about the light aesthetics. If you're looking for a great, middle-of-the-road aftermarket unit, this is it. 10/10 Upgrade for a 2008 Mazda3
Pros: Easy menu navigation Great sound control Responsive screen
Cons: Could use a slightly brighter screen No auxiliary port

Volume and Radio Issues
JASON from Colorado on 5/10/2021
2006 Toyota 4Runner
Android Auto and Bluetooth functionality seemed to work great. The unit appears to have some bugs/issues: 1. Can still hear music after setting volume down to zero. Strange. 2. When changing radio stations, the unit would not skip to my preset/favorite stations. It would just go to the next frequency when using either arrow buttons. Navigating to the Favorites list wasn't user friendly. 3. Intermittent pop noise heard from speaker when changing radio stations. 4. After shutting the car off (with radio volume low) and turning it back on, the radio would turn on at half volume (somewhat loud). When attempting to turn the volume down using the "volume down" button on the radio, there was no response. For some reason, it would only respond if you first pressed the "volume up" button and then the "volume down" button. The Crutchfield support team was responsive and assisted with troubleshooting and sending out a replacement unit. However, the same issues duplicated on the replacement unit so I had to initiate a return. I ended up purchasing a different brand and have no issues with the new install.
Pros: Android Auto Bluetooth Dual Rear USB Connectors Micro SD Card Slot Adjustable Backup Camera Grid Lines
Cons: Volume Issues Radio Station Favorite/Preset Issues Intermittent speaker pop when changing radio stations

Crutchfield customer from Groton, MA on 5/10/2021
Absolutely excellent, particularly for the price. The features are outstanding. The user interface is simple (not the over-menu-ed mess many have). The sound is excellent. The handsfree microphone works well. It is compact and light (not full depth). 3 yr warranty is a bonus. I would prefer a volume knob over buttons, but that is aesthetic. Based on the installation in my daughter's Focus, I would use this in my own vehicle next time and save hundreds.
Pros: Performance, quality, price, features, warranty.
Cons: I would prefer a volume knob over buttons, but that is aesthetic.

2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty
My 2015 F250 was mostly perfect. I struggled some with wiring. My truck came with a AM FM radio and CD player. When it came time for the test fire, the screen or nothing else powered up. Called tech support and with Skyler's help we determined that there was no accessory wire coming from the truck to be connected with the red accessory wire to the radio. Skyler said I needed to buy a $65.00 patch cable. I chose to hook a wire to the accessory blade in the fuse box w/ a $3.00 inline10 amp, fuse link and spliced it to the red wire.

4.5 stars
Crutchfield customer from Alameda, CA on 5/7/2021
2005 Honda Odyssey
I like to give it 4.5 stars because this little brother of the BE 10ACP, which I also bought, has a few fewer physical features but works almost the same for $100 less. I like the micro SD card slot right in the front in addition to the USB slot for extra input. I can't tell if it sounds better or not, but it did not disappoint. The screen like its bigger brother is too reflective and needed the addition of a matte screen protector. The dimming function seemed to be better and less bright at night than its overly bright bigger brother.
Pros: price, features,
Cons: overly reflective screen.

I love this head unit. Originally I ordered a slightly cheaper one, but returned it because the user interface was difficult to use and it had annoying lights on the front. This Boss unit is very easy to use, has effective and inoffensive lighting and buttons, and far more customization within the software than I imagined at this price point! I may even purchase multiple more for my other vehicles, I like it so much.

Not really worth the price
Crutchfield customer from Charleston, SC on 4/27/2021
2009 Toyota Tacoma
Not a huge fan of this head unit after a few days on the road with it. Its to dark on the brightest setting with sunglasses on, can't see anything on it. Even in "Light" mode. Volume response is too slow. Install was easy but how hard can it be when most of these car radios are cookie cutter installs into a 2din.
Pros: The bad: I'm not sure if the icons can be moved around but I dislike the layout it presents. The brightest setting is too dim in the day time, the volume response is too slow and should be a knob. While it is nice to have interface with my Iphone in the future I may scout more reviews based on daytime brightness. Unless improvements are made to this type of product I'll be looking at other brands in the future. Should've stuck with Alpine!
Cons: The Good: The interface is reasonably easy to understand. All the wires are pre labeled making install easy.

This is a perfectly okay headunit which works decently well, with 2 flaws that are extremely annoying. 1. Only some of the steering wheel controls work with my 2014 Tacoma. (volume up/down, up/down, and mode. The answer/hang-up buttons and the left-right buttons do not work, which isn't a huge deal.) 2. The brightness settings seem to get lost. Both of these are mild irritations, but it's otherwise fine.

I've gotta say I'm actually surprised with the unit. I thought for sure with it being a boss audio it was just going be ok at best but i actually like it. The screens really responsive compared to my stock unit that u had to tap 3x to do anything. Screens nice and bright. I do like that when u back up it cuts the music down so I can actually pay attention to what's going on around u. Picture for the back up camera is better than stock but kinda feel like it could lighten up a little. I can't say much for the sound as I have bypassed hooking my speakers up to the head unit and went right to an amp. Eq is nice and u can customize it to what u want.
Pros: Nice bright screen apple car play
Cons: Takes a few mins to load up and will freeze for a few seconds if ur hit too many buttons too fast

Not quite ready for prime time....
Crutchfield customer from Hoschton, GA on 4/26/2021
All in all not a bad unit and certainly an upgrade from the factory unit in by 2011 F150. the sound quality is acceptable but (with factory speakers) there is some distortion when using Bluetooth connectivity and custom EQ settings. There are some issues with Android Auto integration and the daytime display, even when "adjusted" is a bit washed out. When coupled with the ReadyHarnessT service installation was a piece of cake and only took about 30 minutes.
Pros: Ease of use, Sound, Installation
Cons: Display in daylight, Android Auto integration, Instruction Manual

This was my first time I installed a radio by myself with no help at all. When it comes to wiring, I do not have the brains to understand everything but everything on the radio and the harness was not only color coded obviously but they also made it easy for you by labeling both radio and harness. Now for the actual radio itself, it's actually quite amazing. Absolutely love it. HUGE upgrade from my previous one. Super user friendly! It has so many options to help improve your audio, direction with gps, and even more importantly HANDS FREE, allowing you to put most of your attention to the cars around you.

I enjoy this unit, the only down side is switching between Bluetooth and radio the volume difference is super drastic. With the radio being super loud. The volume feature is slow to respond as well. Other than that it's an excellent head unit. With plenty of options.
Pros: Many options for all users. Best value for the buck
Cons: Volume difference between Bluetooth and radio is severe. Needs to also find a way to connect to factory subwoofer.

Absolute Piece Of Garbage
Crutchfield customer from Abingdon, MD on 4/2/2021
2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Buy something else. Unit worked great for about a week, and now it's nothing but problems. Too late to return for a refund or exchange (purchased 4 March 2021). Some examples of problems: - CarPlay barely works, I connect my or spouses phone, and only occasionally will any app other than iTunes/Music play. Even Music acts a little funky, which might be the fact that Music is a shadow of what iTunes used to be and out of Boss' control. - SD card support is atrocious. Boss said to use only FAT32 file system and to keep it under 32GB. Really, in 2021 32GB is too much? - Unit will randomly freeze while driving. Which isn't the end of the world, but then things like hands-free calling, the mic, backup camera, etc don't work until the car is turned off and turned on. Crutchfield, if you're listening/monitoring these reviews, please contact me for some type of return/exchange/upgrade to a better product. I either got a lemon, or the definition of a quality product has changed recently. Not a good experience for a first time customer. Sad part is it looks really nice in my Wrangler, if only it would function.
Pros: 2 USB inputs. That's it.
Cons: Everything else.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze and it looks really nice but there was so much wiring it took four hours to figure out how far out the stereo needed to be how I could fit all the wiring in. I do love it because if you have a back up camera it's very compatible has apple play which I love. If you have a Cruze and buy this just be sure you have someone that knows how to manipulate wires in to small places for the stereo to fit!
Pros: Nice stereo works amazing
Cons: Wiring space and length

Just average. I got it for the Android car play which is decent. The quality of the backup camera compared to stock is not good at all. I don't like that it mutes the music when backing up now as well. Overall just decent.

Very happy with this unit
Crutchfield customer from Westborough, MA on 3/25/2021
2005 Acura MDX
I installed the Boss BE7ACP in my 2005 Acura MDX, about two weeks ago, and love it. I read many of the reviews before purchasing, started with the one star reviews and worked my way up to the 5 star reviews. Granted it's only been a couple of weeks but I have not experienced what I read in the bad reviews. This unit delivered exactly what I expected from reading all of the specifications for the product. I purchased the "ready harness" service from Crutchfield. It was a great value and gave me peace of mind. Unpack the box and know everything is ready to just plug in. This extra service included having the Scosche Converter and Steering Wheel Control Adapter set up for an Acura MDX. I called Crutchfield while I was installing the unit to verify a couple things and they were great to speak with, very helpful. I only had one issue, with all the Dash Kit's pre-drilled holes none of them lined up for mounting inside the dash. I needed to do a few minor drills and everything fit very well, very snug, but well. Read all of the specifications and extra notes to understand exactly what does and does not come with this unit. If you do, you'll be happy with a great sounding unit, that has great features, including Car Play. I hope this helps if you are considering to purchase this unit.
Pros: Great sound, great features, ready harness service.
Cons: Needed to drill a few extra holes on the mounting bracket that sits behind the dash.

I've had this radio for a couple of months, life with it started out great for the money. Then the screen decided to go stripped. Audio plays, but CarPlay is now useless. Spend your money on a better radio, this one will disappoint.

Great upgrade: Apple Car Play
Rex from La Grange, KY on 3/13/2021
2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Installed in 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with base OEM stereo, SWC and Backup camera. A little grueling with soldering 18 wires and had to call Tech to confirm PAC Expansion Port and connector from harness were not used for my install. Took my time and got it right. Everything works perfectly with SWC, Apple Car Play, and Backup camera. Looks great and I couldn't be happier.
Pros: Perfect fit and function with SWC, Apple Car Play, and Backup camera. Really nice sound as well. Great Tech support with correct answers when I called.
Cons: Directions need clarity. Description said Backup camera would not work, and vehicle interface harness had an extra connector. Called Tech prior to order to confirm Backup camera actually does work and called during install to confirm the extra connector was not used for my install.

Great product
Crutchfield customer from Live Oak, TX on 3/13/2021
2016 Ram 1500
I chose this product due to the good reviews. I wanted a back up camera. The price to add one to my factory stereo was close to the same price I paid for this stereo, camera and amp I purchased at other sources. It's a big upgrade over the factory with car play. The instructions crutch gave where awesome except for the steering wheel controls. It took me 6 hours to install the stereo, amp, wiring and camera. My setup for this ram 1500 is boss stereo, blaupunkt 1504 amp, jbl club 6x9 speakers. Sounds awesome without a sub!

Amazing picture on this screen. Apple CarPlay interface is great, haven't used android audio so no comment there. Simple but functional with all the necessary features for someone wanting apple CarPlay and an unbelievable picture. Video off sd car was impressive. I haven't been able to put it through the wringer yet but so far I highly recommend this unit. Boss elite BE7ACP.
Pros: Fantastic picture quality. Good, simple, and adequate features. CarPlay interface is very good.
Cons: Unit is deep like a regular double din even though it's mechless. I was hoping for a unit more like my alpine ilx-w650.

Excellent for the Price
Crutchfield customer from Grovetown, GA on 3/10/2021
2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty
I've only had this radio for a day, but I am pleased enough with it that I wanted to go ahead and review. Overall, this is a great radio for the price. CarPlay works flawlessly. The radio's software outside of CarPlay is slightly laggy but not bad at all. There are plenty of different settings to get this unit set up the way you like it. The sound quality it produces is on par, if not better with my slightly older Kenwood unit that I replaced with this. The screen can be hard to see in bright environments, but it is still visible enough most of the time. The night dimmer activated via illumination wire is an awesome feature. My one complaint is that it reverses the backup camera image and I have yet to find a way to correct that.
Pros: CarPlay works great, plenty of features and customization options, good sound quality, great feeling/responsive touch screen
Cons: Backup camera image is reversed horizontally, No custom wallpaper options

I love being able to use apple play, and there are even settings to set each different source's starting audio for when you turn the car on. I just wish the startup screen wasn't so long. When I start my truck I want to listen to the music immediately, I don't need a 30 second screen of the company telling me what brand stereo I bought.
Pros: Easy to use, everything functions well.
Cons: The startup graphic is too long.

Poor customer service
Dennis from Logan, UT on 2/26/2021
2006 Toyota Corolla
Just installed this stereo tonight. Everything went well and I really like the product. However, I never received the dash kit. It stated it was on back-order but that was 3 weeks ago. I called customer service and they were less than helpful. I finally just said "I guess I will have to order the dash kit elsewhere." The rep just basically said okay, you probably should. So I ended up spending another 15 bucks but at least I got the part and the stereo is in. Im really surprised at the way this was handled, I like Crutchfield and have bought stereos from them before.

Ehhh?
Crutchfield customer from Augusta, GA on 2/21/2021
1997 Porsche Boxster
Positives, it works. Negatives, the display is too dim in the day time. Menus when the phone is connected take up too much space and reduce usability of the display in map mode for instance. Works well with my factory amp ... unable to try on-board amp. It is a basic radio with carplay and android auto. Sirius does work well over bluetooth, but the phone mic that is included is lacking ... have to almost yell for anyone to hear me during any phone call. Final analysis, overpriced and too small ... save your money and go for something with better quality and better features.

Great for Apple CarPlay
Crutchfield customer from Princeville, IL on 2/15/2021

Love this radio, put it in our 2017 Traverse. We wanted to upgrade the factory radio to one with Apple CarPlay. This was the least expensive radio with CarPlay and it works great, the touch screen is very responsive, there is no lag time. It works good with the factory backup camera in our car and I even hooked up a second camera and mounted it in the car so we can see the kids in the car seats!
Pros: Apple CarPlay, video plug ins for two cameras if desired,
Cons: No volume knob (not a big deal)

An amazing head unit and makes my driving experience much much better. I chose this unit for its cheaper price tag and for its much needed features.

I bought an entry level unit and got one, while doing all I need. Immediately the unit improved the sound pushed through my factory basic speakers. I don't know enough to mess w/ equalizer, but straight out sounds great. Bought this for CarPlay to keep daughter hands free. Works great for that also.Really no complaints. Unless you have specifc needs or tastes no reason to spend more.

Just go to settings and look for some acronym I can't remember and click off. Installation was not too bad. I wish someone had told me to take off the trim piece surrounding the screen that came on the stereo. This stumped me for a while and 2 Crutchfield techs couldn't explain why nothing would fit.

Questionable Bluetooth with Android
Terry from Tucson, AZ on 2/3/2021
2014 Toyota Prius C
The money shot: with my phone (Samsung S10e), bluetooth is far from seamless: it doesn't automatically reconnect when I get in the car (reconnects <50% of the time), and sometimes it says it's connected but when I try to do something (like play music via bluetooth) it then says it's not connected. For me this is a deal-breaker, hands-free phone use is my priority, I will return it and try the Sony XAV-AX5000. Outside of that, very feature-packed for the money: - I really like two USB ports, though adding a microSD card slot is not so useful. - Android Auto has been mostly flawless: a couple of times Google Maps went into night mode for no reason, but exiting Android Auto and going back into it fixed this (did not need to disconnect phone), Spotify worked well, and Phone worked well. Waze had better contrast than Maps, but both apps worked well. No issues with the bluetooth connection while using Android Auto, so if you use that 100% of the time maybe this is a good value for you. - Fast: boot takes around 10 seconds, switching to the backup camera when I shift into reverse only takes 1-2 seconds, and it will switch on the backup camera while it is booting with no issues. - The touchscreen is fast and responsive, did not have any issue with touches. Negative: the GUI could just look a lot better.
Pros: 2x USB Shows cover art from USB Fast boot Fast switch to backup camera Responsive touchscreen Android Auto and Apple Carplay Simple, easy to use interface Easy to use audio controls (equalizer, balance/fader and loudness) Good range of source leveling (-5 to +10)
Cons: Unreliable bluetooth (with my Samsung S10e) Marginal GUI: lots of empty space on screen, cover art (from USB) and text (from USB, bluetooth, and radio) could definitely be bigger and moved around to fill things up and make them more visible, no customization is possible Screen is very glossy: I was planning a matte screen protector Unattractive home screen: a bunch of fairly plain rectangles of different sizes I'd much rather have a physical home button than the microSD card slot

anthony from CORAL SPRINGS on 2/1/2021
2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
Sound is good. Has lots of great features for a low price. Installation of the rear camera is HORRIBLE!! There is an "update" to the installation manual, you wouldn't know if you didn't call.. I called, AFTER it was installed and NOT working properly....... If you install per the manual the reverse camera will not automatically come on when put into reverse. So I called Boss Audio and was told that the manual does not list a step or was amended... Basically when installing the rca cable from the camera to the head unit, there is a small red wire on either end of the rca cable. BOTH ends must be connected to 12v power ONLY when in reverse. At the head unit the purple/black reverse + wire must have a 12v signal when in reverse to make the camera come on automatically. In my case I ran the rca cable, connected it as per the manual, only to then find out I had to run another wire to carry a 12v signal from the reverse light to the head unit. ANOTHER wire from the rear lamp to the head unit!! PAIN IN THE ARSE!!! So I had to run another wire after having done that! I have a 20 year old truck and this gives me Carplay, bluetooth, bluetooth phone, reverse camera and 2 usb's . 1 for Carplay and 1 for charging your phone. The screen is a bit dim for daytime use..... I've got 50 more days to see if I like it... But so far I'm happy! Aside from the glitch with the camera...
Pros: LOTS of features for a low price..
Cons: Dim screen. Installation manual incomplete

Good For the Price
Crutchfield customer from Casper, WY on 1/25/2021
This unit was a great upgrade to my vehicle. Installation went well with items from Crutchfield. i opted for the Maestro SW instead of the suggested, and all works fairly well. The unit is what you expect for the price. It doesn't wow you with any special features or customizations. The buttons are blue and color can not be changed despite Crutchfield's description. Tried to use the micro SD port and since then none of my PCs or android devices can read the card. I did find out that the background is changeable to any image you want. In my vehicle the glare on the screen is pretty intense from windows and sunroof that it is difficult to see on max brightness during the day, which is something i never thought to factor in when picking a new unit.
Pros: Price 2 cameras
Cons: non customizeable

This is a good value Apple CarPlay receiver. Installed on our 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L since my wife was complaining about not having Google Maps and talking about a new car! You lose the rear entertainment / DVD functions, but who is using that today anyway. I routed the backup camera to the unit and ran a USB cable extension through the small cubby above the pull out drink holder. Would have given 5 stars if the display was brighter (difficult to see in the daylight) and radio controls allowed you to skip only favorites with the steering wheel control. Hoping they can improve these with a firmware update.
Pros: Responsive cap touch display, fast boot (option to disable the user agreement), Good microphone call sound quality, wiring harness is labeled
Cons: Display is dim in sunlight, radio controls are kludgy

This radio is awesome for the money, can't beat $400 compared to my radio business I talked to that wanted $1600
Pros: Works great, easy install and the harness service is recommended and worked flawlessly.
Cons: The USB connections are not a good idea being in the back of the radio. Should be built in or long enough to run to the dash/ console. We all know how often the Charging wires fail which means take it apart to change it in the back.

Good for the Money
Crutchfield customer from Jersey City, NJ on 1/2/2021
2008 Hyundai Tucson
For the money- this is a pretty great head unit. My only real issue is that I don't particularly like the volume buttons, they are rather close to the side of the unit and the trim. Because of this it's a bit uncomfortable to use them from the drivers position in the car. You can't really fit a whole finger to push them. It really should have a knob. The sound is pretty good and the setup was quite easy. There is a bit of hiss over the speakers from the unit when it's on but not playing anything.
Pros: Easy to install Lots of functionality for the money
Cons: Awkward Buttons

Solid CarPlay Stereo

This is a solid stereo. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. The only issue is the glare on the screen from the sunlight. Hoping to get my windows tinted soon to help fix the issue. Thank you Crutchfield for providing excellent instructions.
Pros: CarPlay Easy install Reasonably priced
Cons: Glare on screen

Great for CarPlay

When I picked this head unit out for my 2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback, I decided on this because of Apple CarPlay. When I purchased, it came in the mail quick (2 days). Installation was ok - the supplied wire connectors did fit my car, however the side plastic brackets (that fill in the gap between the head unit and the inside of the car paneling) didn't fit - the screw holes were off by an eighth of an inch and caused a warping of the bracket when I tried to install. my solution was to grind away the parts of the plastic bracket that didn't fit, and expanded the hole on one of the slots to account for that eighth - it worked. After getting in, and setting up the mic and USB cable, it worked! The phone over CarPlay is very clear when hearing on the other end. Besides the plastic part above, my only other gripe is that the radio is kind of plain. I am happy with this purchase.
Pros: Apple CarPlay works great! Clear phone sound. Siri button works great! Can add backup camera and another camera (front or side) which I will do.
Cons: Radio is plain. The supplied plastic bracket didn't fit.

Really nice unit for the price. Upgraded my car to hands free along with apple/android compatibility.
Pros: Simple install with the ReadyHarness option! Bright and responsive screen, good sound.
Cons: None yet. Took a bit of tweaking to cooperate with the metra kit, but no modifications were needed. The PAC USB kit worked great, fitting right into the 12v power plug (with little mods).

Awesome

I love the radio. I got it for my wife. Who is technologically challenged. She a heck of a nurse but electronics is not her strong suit. She can even work this with ease. I waited maybe almost a year before I bought it thinking if would be hard to install. It wasn't Crutchfield makes sure you have all the information to install it and when calling to ask a question the longest wait time I had was between 1 to 2 minutes.

A lot of radio for the price
Crutchfield customer from Saratoga Spgs , NY on 12/21/2020
2010 Toyota Prius
Nice radio. good sound. very responsive interface. opening the balance settings is more clicks than I would expect. The one issue we had was not with the radio, but with the Ready Harness. Upon delivery 3 of the crimps were bad resulting in only one speaker working. Tech support (Carl) was great in diagnosing the problem. Thankfully I had the tools to diagnose/fix (voltmeter, wire strippers, properly sized crimp connectors, etc.), but I bought the Ready Harness so I wouldn't have to worry about the quality of my handiwork. Never did I expect to have to worry about the quality of Crutchfield's handiwork. The harness should have been bench tested prior to shipping.
Pros: Great tech support, nice product
Cons: faulty wiring on Ready Harness.

Great little head unit for the price. Built in android auto/carplay is exactly what I was looking for. You do have to plug it into the USB port which what they give you is pretty short so you will need to get an extension. I ran mine to the center console. Wireless would make this better, but i'm not complaining. My favorite feature is that I can run android auto while the radio is playing so navigation is available at the same time.
Pros: install easysih
Cons: USB from the unit could be longer

Just what I wanted
Crutchfield customer from Malden, MO on 12/18/2020
2010 Honda Civic
Simple, efficient and functional. There are plenty of units that costs a LOT more and have a lot more bells and whistles. My needs were Android Auto/Carplay, AM/FM, Bluetooth Phone functionality. This unit does all that and then a bit, in a display that doesn't look visually louder than a Saturday Night Fever discotheque. Not to dim, not to bright, not too flashy.
Pros: Simple, Elegant and functional. Nice touch screen response. Doesn't scream "AFTERMARKET RADIO!!!!".
Cons: I see no reason this unit was as physically deep as it is. It's mostly air inside the case, and every bit of install space helps (Honda Civic).

This unit is good for the money but not great. Th apple CarPlay has to be plugged into the usb on the back of the unit. There is no built in nav and the sound quality is good but not loud.
Pros: Decent price and responsive screen.
Cons: No nav, not very loud, and have to plug into usb for car play.
