Review on πŸš— BOSS BVNV9384RC Car GPS Navigation & DVD Player: Double Din, Bluetooth, 6.2" LCD Touchscreen, MP3 CD DVD USB SD, AM FM Radio by David Tadder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great, fits my Chevy S-10 2003 Quadcab 4x4 pickup truck

Like it. Really upgraded my old truck. The rear camera was easy to install with the included hole saw. Wow! But the center drill bit in the hole saw wasn't the best, so I drilled a pilot hole with a good drill bit of about the same size. Then I used their hole saw and installed the camera right next to the license plate. Due to the length of the truck and the way I routed the cable, I had to purchase an additional video cable. (about $7 on Revain). I had questions about camera wiring and tech support responded within an hour. I listened to them 3-4 times and they responded quickly. I wanted a backup camera and figured this model would give me that AND the navigation at a really reasonable price. I ordered the suggested Metra mount, antenna adapter and wire harness. Even the colors matched. I soldered the Boss connector wires to the adapter plug and it worked the first time. Navigation seemed slow until I realized she found a route somewhere to the east as the default "home". After I entered my real home address, he found it very quickly. It's difficult to find all the different settings screens to change/customize the screen, but once you've done it, it's easy. It cost me about $175 for the radio and other items. ***Update*** After installing all of this, I found that the CD player was not accepting the disc. I contacted VERY helpful BOSS support and they told me I seemed to have gotten the lemon and offered to return it to Revain as that would be much quicker for me. I have never used Revain't's "replacement" option on a defective product, but it worked perfectly and I received a replacement within 2 days. I took the radio unit out of the replacement box and exchanged it for the defective one in order to send it back with all the other parts (wiring, camera, etc.). I installed a new control unit, it works perfectly. So, tip: before fully assembling the dashboard, check all the functions of the unit, not just the radio and camera like I did.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
