So grateful for this review! Was afraid my stereo arrived broken because I couldn’t adjust angle of head unit. Didn’t want to force it in case there was some sort of release button I wasn’t seeing. After watching you adjust yours in the video I decided to get a little forceful, and voila! It finally moved! 😃 You’re aces HWR!
Thanks for watching. I don't know if I'm the best person to be copying when it comes to force though, I've broken so many plastic clips and trim pieces on my car from yanking and pulling while being impatient.
Que nítido llevo viendo ese radio todo el día y ahora me convencí con tu video,gracias 🙌🏻
One minute in the video I already interested about the boot time love it subscribe
I'm digging mine so far! Everyone says audio quality during my phone calls is good using the mic it comes with. Only issue is if I play songs via Bluetooth from my phone it sounds like trash. Android auto sounds fine though. I haven't tested other devices so I'm not sure if it's the phone or head unit that's the issue. Thumbs up for being a Polyphia fan!
It’s an amazing product I installed it yesterday so happy with it
Just got one for my 08 Malibu, tysm for the review
Excellent review and I agree with your reasoning for buying this unit. I'll be putting one in an '05 Bonneville for all the same reasons.
Just got mine Sunday! Love it. Makes my truck feel more modern.
How is the sound quality???
Good and clear quality!
I just buy the small version 9” it will arrive this Monday but I don’t know if when you use CarPlay or android auto i will charge your phone o I will kill your battery
How far does it stick up above the actual radio spot when moved all the way down? I wanna get it but don’t know if it will be too tall
@@jminaya90 it charges while connected to Android or Apple play.
Thanks for this review. I saw this show up on Crutchfield but I couldn't find many reviews on it. It looks nice but I am more concerned over sound quality than a large screen and I couldn't find much information on that and how it compares to Alpine, Kenwood/JVC, or even Sony. Thank you, you saved me some time. I appreciate it.
No problem. Yeah the sound quality is decent but at higher volumes it gets distorted. You'd have to invest in an amp to get this sounding good
I'm not impressed with the Bluetooth sound quality, but the plugged in sound quality (with an amp) is on par with bigger brands.
Thank you! I'm considering this unit and couldn't find much on it
No problem, if you have any questions that I didn't answer let me know and I'll get back to you.
Thank you for your review. I love the tilt functionality.
Really appreciate the review thanks
You covered most of it and I'm grateful for that!
My only question is what's the headspace between your dash and the actual display? I want my stuff to be at a slight angle so it's easier for me to navigate haha
I have this deck in my car and there's plenty of room to angle it. I'd say about 1/2" between it and the dash
Nice review! I’m thinking on getting this stereo when I purchase a new Camry in the near future.
I was curious about something; do you know if your phone’s EQ settings get reset whenever you plug it into the stereo?
For example, I always keep my iPhone music EQ settings in ‘Rock’, but whenever I plug my phone into my current stereo, for some reason the stereo resets my phone EQ setting to ‘off’ and I have to go into settings every time to set it to ‘Rock’ again.
It’s a minor thing, but I’d like to know if this stereo preserves the current settings your phone has because it has gotten tedious having to do that every time I start my car.
Thanks
Man, the biggest attraction to me is the shape of the display! It has character and doesn't look like a sideways ipad.
I haven't pulled the trigger because I haven't seen a review on the video quality. Will you upload some youtube, netflix or something? Is it even possible?
Dam best update to any 05 Cadillac
Thanks for creating this video. I'm stuck with a single din in my Fiat 500 and want Carplay without breaking the bank.
This is a good choice if you don't play your music too loud. If you like it at high volume it will need an amp. Thanks for checking out my review
@@HeWentRogue what if for example my car came with premium audio system would installing this make my sound worst?
@@luism8612 I want to know the same thing cus I'm looking to install this in a 2011 Acadia with a BOSE SYSTEM
Looks awesome I'm getting it this summer and is there a USB slot for music on file ??
I just bought it for my 2004 4runner thank u
Thank you for the video I am thinking about buying one for my Tacoma, I have one question steering wheel controls do they work with this head unit. Stay Safe 👍🏼
I like the shape of the display, and the volume knob. But it’s really let down by a lower resolution.
Great video, I'm just wondering, in android auto can you have split screen apps running, for instance waze with a music app?
Hey, Nice review!! How far does the screen stick out from the head unit? from the back and face? I'm worried it will stick out too far.
Like a little bit under an inch it’s really not much
Thanks for the video, I keep seeing Micro SD card for specs but never see an slot, Does it have one?
Great review, I just purchased the 9" unit but haven't install it yet. This helped me get a better idea on operation and how far the display slides up and down.
Hello, I’m planning on buying the 9’ too, would you say you’re satisfied with it?
@@JuanFlores-bg1ug Yes, I love this unit, I've been using it for two months with no issues. I purchased the Motorola MA1 wireless Android dongle which makes connecting seamless. You can watch my review of the dongle here. The dongle is so amazing that I purchased two extra and I have them on sale on ebay because they are impossible to find right now. th-cam.com/video/upSMfUl6vHw/w-d-xo.html
It shorted and he blew up unfortunately
@@MB-sn8sf sorry to hear that, mine is still going strong. Did you install it yourself or did you have a professionally installed?
Nice video bro...How is the sound quality?
I’ve seen this unit in the store and these Boss units are the same as their sister company SSL. They appear to offer good performance and value for the money. One thing that concerns me is the really glossy screen. I could see a lot of reflection in your video. In actual use, do you find the screen easy to read both in daylight and at night? Also, will the screen dim pretty well? I think I read that even though it’s dimmest setting it’s still pretty bright. And finally is there a way to actually turn off the screen for night driving without turning off the unit, that is, just make the screen go black? Thanks and really good video
thanks for this vid!
Nice 👍 . Might put this in my tahoe
Nice review. This is the only video I can find on this HU. Do you know if you can change the bootup animation or turn it off? I'm assuming after it's connected to the backup camera it will come on when you put the car in reverse. Would like to see this when you get it hooked up.
Doesn't look like you can turn off the loading animation. It always loads with the Boss logo and then the disclaimer screen pops up asing to "Accept" but you don't have to click it, it goes away on it's own pretty quick and boots into the radio.
I installed the backup camera. It comes up on when you go in reverse and you can also click the button while driving and see what's behind you (if you hook it up with constant power)
@@HeWentRogue Thanks. I appreciate the response.
@@HeWentRogue That disclaimer can be skipped in the options. Think it boots slightly faster without it.
@@ryanl8340 I have had mine for a few weeks and see no means of bypassing the disclamer.
I kept seeing Goat and I kept thinking “Polyphia, hes listening to Polyphia 😂
Have you put an anti-glare screen protector on it yet, and if so, has it affected touch functionality at all? Looking into an Android Auto capable head unit for my Thunderbird and this one is high on my list, but the reflections would irritate me.
That's a nice stereo. I'd buy this exact same thing, but it wouldn't look right in my 2010 Toyota Prius 3rd Gen in my opinion, so I bought the BE7ACP. It's not much different except for how it's built and the price, and it fits JUST RIGHT in my dashboard, almost like factory.
I have a 2008 Prius and I like the idea of it fitting into the dash board. I wonder how your dash board is different from mine? . Now I will check the Boss model you used. Is it smaller with same features as the Boss reviewedt here.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 😀
Simple question: how do you mute the volume? Can you just tap the volume knob? How many FM, and AM presets are there? Can you play music while using the navigation, and still see the navigation screen? Thank you..
Great vid! Can the barking brake wire be grounded to make andriod auto to work?
Most likely. It’s mainly alpine that requires a relay instead of just a ground.
How was the install for the camera? How does the unit know you're in reverse automatically? Do you hook into the reverse lights? Thanks for the review. I couldn't find anything on these
Installing the camera was easy and yeah you have to tap into your reverse lights. I also didn't drill any holes, I ran the wire through the license plate light. I planned on making a video, but it was my first time installing one so I didn't want to make a bad video.
@@HeWentRogue its always helpful to see what its like for a newbie to install stuff - don’t be afraid to film it next time haha
I would’ve appreciated it, I’m looking at doing my first backup cam now but no idea how hard it’ll be.
You can hook it to the reverse lights or they have power wires for camera on back of head unit, you can choose one or the other, but not both. If you use power from head unit you can turn on camera whenever you want but it won’t come on automatically in reverse.
How is it with the screen right in front of the aricon vent.
Man you have the only video on this unit. Thinking about it to update my truck a little. Where are the USB ports for Apple CarPlay and android?
Both USB ports are in the back of the unit. You gotta run a cable to somewhere in your truck. I replaced my cigarette lighter with an adapter (I have links in the description if you're interested)
@@HeWentRogue thanks man!
Every try android auto wireless adapter!
Do you need any extra parts to install it or it’s fine with just the radio?
I'm thinking about putting this head unit in a 2006 CTS very similar to yours. Did you mess with steering wheel controls? Does the stock subwoofer still work?
You need steering wheel control adapter sold on amazon ….sub will still work
Seriously considering getting this. I cant find much information and your the only
Person who had posted a video. Is apple car play snappy? Or is there significant delay. Also are you able to use your steering wheel controls ?
No idea about apple car play, I only have an android and android auto is fast to connect and function. Those steering wheel controls work, just have to buy the adapter for it.
I just installed this today based on the 2 reviews on TH-cam plus an autozone had one near me, and apple CarPlay works perfectly! The animations aren’t buttery smooth but I don’t think any car’s are, but it’s barely noticeable and it’s sooooo responsive I couldn’t believe it. Never a lag when clicking on anything or entering apps. For the autozone price this thing is a steal.
@@fives1317 did you have to buy an adapter for your antenna for it to work ?
@@andruwmann2063 yeah!
@@HeWentRogue Please please tell me what adapter you used to get the steering wheel controls to work. Bought one PAC one for it but all it does is flash. Don't need one of those $150+ iDataLink interfaces as I don't have to tie into the CAN bus (older vehicle that doesn't have any info displayed on the headunit) nor does it have any factory amp or bluetooth that I need to incorporate either. Just steering wheel controls. Was it the one that they sell at Autozone? Overall I've been fairly happy with the features (had a few random android auto disconnects but using a really short cable and it seems to be working better now) and no steering wheel controls may be a deal breaker for me.
I have this unit in a ‘99 Lexus ls400 an it looks great! At first I used android auto but I found it looked and worked better with apple carplay. My only issue is setting wallpapers. I have a usb with pictures but I can’t seem to get it to work in my background. Any ideas?
i liked the review, but you were missing the main auto connect window where you see all the apps.
U said its detachable correct? N thank u 4 the review
Yeah, you can pop off the screen. It's attached by a few small wires though, looks kind of fragile if you plan on taking it on and off repeatedly it might be an issue after a long time.
Is there a way to turn the screen off while the music is playing? I don’t like how bright is at nights.
What option did you use on your aswc-1?
In the face removable? I was debating on getting this or the planet audio unit but would honestly like to be able to remove the faceplate
Wonder how it would look on my 08 Accord Coupe
What is the actual dimension from border to border? Thanks
Looking at purchasing this unit, can’t find any measurements for distance from dash to back of screen. Does it protrude out far out of place or does it sit close enough to look as it was meant to be in location?
You not gonna find that all dashboards are different
Another question I just got this and installed it and I love it. However when I put it in reverse in the back up camera automatically comes up on it, the volume of whatever is playing gets drastically cut by about 80%. Once back and drive the volume returns to normal. Normally this would be fine however I have it in my work truck and I snowplow sometimes 12 to 14 hours at a time going forward and reverse. There has got to be a way to change this because it’s not workable for my situation any thoughts?
actually this is normal on all boss models. I have the same thing so i think its just how its made
I'm not sure how to stop that from happening. I like how it lowers the volume when I reverse so I never looked into it. I tried going through the settings and didn't see a way of disabling it
In my boss stereo there was a setting to control the volume
@@Mrbeecash not what he was askin lmao
Was playing around with mine to see if there is any workaround for your situation of extensive driving in reverse but wanting no reduction in music volume
Only way I can see is not hook up the reverse wire so head unit comes on automatically. You can hit the Camera icon and bring up the back or front camera image at any time and in any gear without effecting music volume.
The only thing that I don't like about the unit is that it doesn't have high/low pass filters. But other than that it's a good unit
Was it a hard install what else would I need other than the stereo and camera a dash kit?
Wiring harness an dash kit for your car
was hoping to see the streaming demonstrated, can I download apps like spotify?
I was thinking of getting this. Does this have xm radio?
Very much appreciate it...!
Thanks for checking out my video!
@@HeWentRogue now my problem is choosing the 10 or 9 inch lol
@@ngarci8040 Bigger is better! but no seriously I like the big screen, although to some people its obnoxiously big. I will say it's great for navigation, you can see the streets a lot easier than others with the small screens. But most of the time I'm just listening to music so the screen is just in the way at that point because it does stick out a little.
@@HeWentRogue I know alpine halo & sony ax8000 are floating displays too I’m just glad to see a budget friendly option out there. And as far as size my only concern would be the actual display fouling the air vents or instrument cluster or both...
hi i just bought the same unit but i hooked it up to my factory back up cam it looks like im looking threw a fish bowl does your vehicle has a factory back up cam
Mine has bad graphics is there any way I can fix that or did wrong that could cause it
I'm having a problem getting the Volume up on my Waze GPS Directions
Does any else have the issue with the phone calls going to one speaker ?
What route did you go on the brake bypass for this unit, if any?
Hey, did you figure it out
one more thing i have google chrome on my cell when i use apple car play i dont see google chrome do you have the same problem?
How do you feel about the reflection on the screen?
Hasn't been a problem for me and I live in sunny Las Vegas. Although I have tinted windows which help.
Hi how are things!!Do you know how many watts it will be giving you per speaker output?
Do not laugh but I put this in a new Grand Caravan which does did not come with the premium sound system "oem amp & sub".
I found better sound quality and bottom end with the oem head unit than the BOSS. Looking at its amp board and components I think they were very optimistic in the promoted RMS rating. Installing a 5 channel amp and replacing all speakers so hoping it will shine when not using its onboard amp
Did you connect the parking brake wire or did you do the parking brake bypass?
I initially just grounded the green wire (works on most head units, or well it used to LOL), but unfortunately it looks like in needs a pulsed signal of some sort. The bypass I got (axxess one since it's a name brand the axxess steering wheel control worked well), but that doesn't seem to work all the time. On a forum someone mentioned that this one here works with Boss units: www.amazon.com/DIYBypass-Parking-Bypass-Multi-Pulse-Motion/dp/B08FBGCGKW?tag=slickdeals&ascsubtag=626ca4469c8a11ebaa32fae05afd5f940INT That one is a multi-pulse one which is what I believe this thing needs.
@@ryanl8340 Came looking for this. Just installed this over the weekend and can not get it connected to the parking break. Tried at the parking break switch and on the remote start module. Tried just grounding the wire, that DOES NOT WORK for everyone saying that is all you need to do. My only other option is to bypass it so I can use android auto. Just ordered this bypass you suggest, will try to install and see if it works.
I am also having some issues with the backup camera. Need to do some more research...
@@ryanl8340 tried using this exact bypass from Amazon. Android Auto still does not work, I emailed them maybe they have additional tips. But for now I have basically a worthless head unit.
Hey. I'm trying to get an idea of what I should be paying for a shop to retro fit one of these into my 2015 Honda CRV. The auto sound shop said $1100 ish since there's the cost of the screen, the honda specific mod kit, anew rear camera since "the wiring is different" from the original and of course labor. I'm curios if this all sounds lagit and reasonable. I have to frame of reference. thx!!
NO WAY‼️ That's 2 much
Best Buy 2008 total install 529 and parts.
2008 Prius
I have bmw e46 2000, what I should to do to make my steering wheel control wokr??
You can download photos, you need to use a usb stick and plug it into usb cord not the android/CarPlay cord.
I found I can plug in a thumb drive for music / photos into the same USB labeled for and that I used for CP & AA without issue.
@@CVM222VOLT So can I play the music from the Thumb Drive and use Android Auto for the GPS @ the same time??
@@brandonpattersonfcdcxdsw4779 that I have not tried.
I removed a 12V / cigarette outlet from my center console and installed a USB jack / 3.5mm audio jack combo which connects to the head units.AA labeled USB input. I ether plug in my phone for AA or a thumb drive. Into that one input The head units other USB input is behind the dash not used. I will be pulling the unit out to finish my system upgrades in the next 2 weeks and will try the scenario your asking about. Since AA and USB are two separate source selections on the home display I have a feeling it may work though. It would also explain why there are 2 USB impute on the unit.
@@CVM222VOLT That's a nice hookup you got. I just ordered it from BB and have an Install date for Sat I'll see what the Audio/Geek guys say also when I get there
@@brandonpattersonfcdcxdsw4779 it really is a simple DIY install with the X factor just being how easy it is to get access to your existing 12v outlet if your replacing it or adding it elsewhere. If you picked up the version with the 3.5mm jack also, you just need an inexpensive. Female 3.5mm stereo to male Left & Right RCA cable to feed that into the audio input of the head unit. Granted it may not get used much unless someone has an old school MP3 player / phone. .... they might want to feed into your system. Might as well have the option. I think the adapter cable ran 6 bucks.
Granted I know the value of peoples time may make paying an installer a wiser option.
I got one just today after watching this. Been wanting something nicer than my old pioneer(halfway working). Autozone sells it for 250$ out the door lol.
@303StreetMachines i couldn't find it on there website but most autozones have it in store. Same part number. But it sells for 251 after tax. At TN tax rate of 9.25%. Its 229.99$ before tax.
checking my autozone right now
@@whatsittoyou3154 huh. Odd. Well there part number is BE10ACP. Ones here in Tennessee have them. A select few tho.
@@TheKwispyOne found one! thank you!
Thank you! Bought one for $229 at AutoZone today. It's not in stock at every store nor is it on their website. But go in the store and they will pull one from another store for you!
When I click on my mic button it dosent do anything what can that be ?
How do you get the navigation going
Can you get a remote for this ??
The navigation is free right?
How do you setup android auto? I got this unit from Crutchfield and installed it today, but how do you set it up?
Just make sure you have android auto installed on your phone through the play store. Then plug it into the usb port and it should automatically start up and walk you through a few things.
Note ... Only 1 of the 2 rear USB connections works with Android Auto and CarPlay. They are labeled
Would this work in Chevy Silverado 2012
I’m looking at getting one. How wide and tall is the whole screen including the bezels? It looks huge.
I heard 5x8 (9" diagonally).
Edit: Sorry, I was thinking about the 9 inch model.
I have a question about the head unit what the volume go up to
Michael Scott: and it folds
can it fit in any car?
That's HUGE!!!! Every time I replace my stereo I get rid of my vehicle, I'm holding off, but with ne speakers and the Bose sucking it's time for the old chevy to get some new runes, and then the phone laws, yeah it's time..
Is there a way to turn the display off while still have the radio/music playing? My current Dual apple car play radio does not have a display off feature and its bright as hell at night/ pretty annoying
Not that I can see. There are settings for Day and Night. So you can set it to be Dim at night if it bothers you.
If you get desperate for the screen to be off, you can literally take it off (as in unplugging the screen) and your audio will keep playing. I discovered this by accident the other day.
@@markvarnado4097 I don't think that little connector would hold up for that for very long though. It's similar to a tiny connector on a component PCB board. Wish they made it similar to an old school removeable face plate so it could be removed on a regular basis.
@@HeWentRogue If he does a lot of night time rural driving like I do, the screen is a tad to bright on the lowest setting. Turning the gamma down for the night setting does help slightly. Also noticed a bug where whatever you set the brightness level for night, the day brightness eventually changes to the same. The head unit remembers the appropriate gamma settings though. Must be a bug, one that will probably never get fixed unfortunately because I don't see any firmware available for any of their previous units on their site.
If you look below, I kind of have the same problem with this one. May not be quite as bad, but still a little annoying on a dark road at night. There's a few workarounds though (besides removing the display). Turning the gamma down helps slightly. Using an app that has darker colors also helps a little (noticed you said car play but I use poweramp for android and having that screen on rather than the navigation helps). Also you can select the background if you're going to just use bluetooth at night (think there were 4 options) plus I believe that you can change the brightness of that background which helps a little bit as well. Finally, you can just click on the clock (upper right on the display) and then it will show nothing but the date and time on a black screen in the center. Lot of bang for the buck if you can get this from autozone for $230. They only seem to have them at the larger Autozones BTW.
What’s the total amount of ram on this unit?
Can u watch videos on it? Thanks for your video.
Just bought it at auto zone for 229$ brand new!! Some stores have them some don’t. Just gotta go ask.
Hey can I ask you some questions about it please add me on Instagram @kijjion
@@kijjionlee ask me on here
How did you get get your Android Auto to work mine will not.
I have bought one of these recently had it professionally installed The issue I am having with it is it plays when it wants to play in my 2001 Tahoe could it be a security feature one minute it plays then I will not get no sound of it it will still turn on and I can see that everything is working but I am not getting any sound could that be a security issue
Also tried rebooting it a few times that did not work either
Does this fit a 2008 Nissan Altima?
Is there an hdmi slot on this? Thanks!
Can you disable that loud beeping after each button press?
Yes in settings.
does it support the obd2 option
Which microphone did you use on this stereo?
Just using the one that came with the Stereo
What happened with the chime?
Can you wirelessly connect to Apple CarPlay/android auto to this unit?
No ... not unless there is some other company that makes a device / adapter to allow as much. No mention if possible wireless CP or AA in the manual.
@@CVM222VOLT Or you can shop for another stereo with wireless CP and AA built right in, but the price can set you back a little bit.
@@wturner777 but this video and questions being asked are regarding the BOSS head unit.
Android auto wireless dongle pretty cheap
@@tykendrick800 What would you hook it up to on this unit tho?
Do your steering wheel controls all work still?
You have to buy an optional kit.
The screen comes out is detachable thanks
Yeah the screen detaches, it's just 1 connector plugged in and then you can take it out.
Should i get this or the sony xav8000
Personally I'd get the Boss and then get an amp with the money saved, but if you just plan on using the amp inside the headunit then Sonys have better quality
How does the av connection work?
Will a Female USB to RCA connector allow playback of MP4 files using the Video RCA to the rear?
Does it jiggle when going thru bumps or anything??
