Review on BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB Multimedia Car Stereo: Bluetooth, LCD Display, Hands-Free Calling, MP3/USB, AM/FM Receiver by Pat Peoples

I bought this stereo about two years ago. It was good for the price. The sound quality is great and so is the Bluetooth. From a usability perspective, it was almost useless. The different input categories seem unrelated to what they actually do, and turning the volume knob not only doesn't always change the volume by the same amount, it sometimes just changes the volume in the opposite direction. . The maximum volume is 43, which I consider a crime in itself. None of this matters compared to the last day this stereo existed. Today, while driving on the freeway, he decidedly left my life. After driving about 70 and playing the music at a fairly low volume, smoke started to come out around the edges. I pulled the device out and saw through the ventilation grilles that there was a real flame burning inside. I was able to turn it off and the smoke slowly went away after that. The photo does not show the flame but the smoke is visible. It was pretty rough. I was very lucky that I was calm enough to turn it off instead of jumping out and setting my car on fire. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. For the love of God. Don't buy this.
