🚗 BOSS Audio Systems 612UA Single Din Multimedia Car Stereo - MP3, USB Port, AUX Input, AM/FM Radio Receiver (No CD DVD Player) Review

To be clear. Thing is cheap-oh BUT I knew what I was getting myself into. I bought it for my work van (a 2011 Ford Transit Connect) to replace a factory stereo that didn't have bass or treble controls, CDs and AUX. I'm already tired of hearing Justin Beiber on 5 different radio stations. This Boss stereo is exactly that Boss (compared to what I had before). This is a no frills deal. I really can't be picky because I bought it for $22 and did the installation myself. Pros: AUXUSBEqualizer price…

Can't imagine a better price. Bought for my 23 year old work truck. I also bought a Ford wiring harness to make things easier. Last night I spent about an hour wrapping each wire in heat shrink tubing and carefully securing it. Today I installed this radio in my truck. Installation took (no exaggeration) about five minutes. The radio works great and seems to pick up FM stations just as well as my old radio did, although I think most AM stations had slightly better reception. Using a USB storage

Original review edited to add two stars after fixing display issues. Verdict: If your budget is tight, this might be worth a look. Pros: - The manual is clear and relatively easy to understand - All cables are clearly labeled - The audio is acceptable for a $20 car stereo. Cons: - The display can be an issue (it either doesn't work or is too bright at night) Details: I don't expect a $20 car stereo to be particularly good, but this one makes acceptable sound from stock car speakers. At first I…

I know it has a lot of negative reviews but I can't find any flaws I didn't expect. I was wary of buying it but for the price I thought it was worth the risk. This is my first radio installation and I fitted it to my 20+ year old truck without a wiring diagram so it took me quite a while to figure out the wiring, not on the radio but on my truck. At one point I finally decided to check the radio on the truck because to be honest I didn't know what I was doing and I wasn't sure if the radio was…

First of all this thing is very cheap so you're a fool if you don't moderate your expectations properly. I only got this as a temporary solution. It actually handles audio quite well; decent power, sounds good. Screen real estate is almost entirely wasted by this super crappy fake equalizer animation dancing around the car, it's awful. No clock or other information - they could allocate twice as much space to show up-to-date information. Which would be handy since most MP3 metadata is about…

If you're anything like me you have no idea what you're doing when it comes to car audio. That's why I decided to leave some tips along with my review to save you some research time. (Bottom Paragraph - Overview) - This radio conforms to the DIN standard (general radio size for most vehicles). If the radio you are replacing is over two inches, you will also need to purchase a dashboard for your double to single din radio slot. You will also need to attach the metal grommet that came with the…

Yes, ordering a stereo for $36 is pretty scary. My main wish was SD card capability and for some reason decent stereos don't offer that. I also wanted the USB drive to allow the use of a flash drive and not just an ipod like most $50-$100 stereos offer. The sound quality is excellent. Much better than expected. The volume is loud enough, I installed it on a 1st gen Isuzu Trooper which has a lot of road noise. No volume issues, even with windows down. It sounds as loud as the standard stereo in…

I read a lot of bad reviews about this product but for $20 I took a chance. I've read that it doesn't turn on or off after installation. I suspect it is connected incorrectly. is yours on fire? Probably trying to drive too much speakers. I do not know. I was not there. But this module works fine for my application that didn't have it installed on the computer. I put together a pretty backyard with lots of greenery, lighting and water features and I wanted to add some sound to play the sound…
