  • I have been looking for the right Stereo to install in the van for a while. I want to convert the dash to accept a double din head unit mainly so I can run a backup camera. I didn't want to spend too much money but I didn't want to buy junk. I went with a BOSS BVCP9700A stereo that has apple car play and a nice internal amplifier. In this video, I just unbox it, hook it up and go through all the features and test out the audio. I wanted to make sure everything worked before installing it. So far I would recommend this head unit and think it's a great value. Hope this video helps and thanks for watching!

    I bet you'll have the sweetest sounding system out of all the vanlife builds. Imagine being kicked back on a rainy day with full surround of your favorite music playing softly enough to hear the rain while you watch outside all those windows.

    • @4WheelKid

      For sure! Doing an under seat subwoofer also, the internal amps will power 4 speakers then another external amp to power the other 2. Probably tactile transducers also. Chilling in the van during a rain storm is a dream come true

      Good to hear a long term review, seems like a solid radio for the money, not to cheap where its junk but not too expensive where its hard to justify the price

      thanks, no problem! that's awesome! I am looking for a high top at the junk yard to put on my van possibly. can't wait to install the stereo but need to weld in some patch panels first. also consider a security system, i'm not sure if the the 07 has a key chip or not but our vans get stolen a lot. i'm looking at a compustar system

    This guy DuelEx has got a vid about adding on extra back up cameras and putting four of them all wired to one screen
    For security / was helpful for me as I’m blacking out all my windows and the spray-foaming everything almost.

    • @4WheelKid
      @4WheelKid  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah thats a cool idea for sure, probably some rca device that that plugs inline. Im doing a backup camera for this one and then a separate system that goes next to the bed that uses 4 cameras and a camera switcher

    I'm going to purchase this stereo through your link, thanks. I'm also interested in the backup camera, (+forward camera), you used... do you have a link for that as well?
    You'd mentioned here wanting to add a second system for security, have you picked out the components for this?
    Again, I'm interested in doing the same...
    Great channel/content!

      hey I appreciate that! seems like the perfect value apple car play stereo. not too cheap where it's junk but not crazy expensive. the built in amp is what sold me. for sure, I got the one in the video here but it's no longer available www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08THS2BJZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
      I got another from here but still need to test it out, takes a while since it's from china.

      I'm not a fan of the ones with the ir illuminators behind the protective glass because it would cause glare at night
      basically 4 of those cameras on a camera switcher to a screen

    • @4WheelKid
      @4WheelKid  ปีที่แล้ว

      depends on how how you wire it, there is a constant line which keeps the clock from loosing time and there is a switched line and it powers off when that one looses power
