Review on 🎡 Enhanced BOSS Audio Systems 755DBI In-Dash MP3 Receiver with Solid State Technology and Convenient Built-In iPod Docking Station by James Pfettscher

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Low quality. Returned twice. Still does not work.

UPDATE: I received a "repaired unit back" from Boss. It didn't read SDHC cards or USB sticks. So I sent this block back. I got a brand new device from them, this device doesn't remember the radio presets or what track you're listening to when you turn the car off. This is very annoying when listening to a podcast or audio book as you can't just pick up where you left off. So you are 0 out of 3. Correct, I had 3 different stereos and none of them worked perfectly. If you want to play, buy it. If you want a working stereo, stay away from this one. In the middle of the journey, the power amplifier of the device broke. To fix this you have to pay for shipping to them and shipping back - that's only $30 for shipping. Plus the hassle of getting a money order to send over the air. Can't charge a credit card? For this reason I would not recommend this item. But my first review follows below. Leave your CDs in the bin! We don't use them anymore so this was the perfect car stereo upgrade for us. The best feature of this stereo is the SDHC card slot. We have a card with music and podcasts and just leave them in the car. In fact, we rarely take our iPod with us. The second best thing about this stereo is that at first glance it looks like a cheap replacement for an AM/FM stereo. Hopefully this prevents hacks. After all, replacing a window costs a lot more than buying a new car radio. The controls are simple and logical. For the price, this thing rocks! Some cons: It feels a bit cheap. The docking system is a bit fiddly, if you don't want to constantly have to take the dock out, you'll have to remove the small plastic dock adapter and stow it somewhere. Also, it needs to be mounted slightly higher than your dashboard to allow the dock adapter to be plugged in. Mini-USB as a receiver makes no sense and requires a special cable from the box (just don't lose it). The LED display may contain more icons for easier navigation. The fake spectrum analyzer display is a bit annoying. But these are small quirks. All in all we are very happy with it."
