I ordered this unit to replace the worn our non-functioning unit in my old 1996 HD FLH; figuring that if I didn't like it, I could always return it. It was definitely inexpensive and I didn't really expect much. I mainly wanted BT and USB connectivity. I was not concerned about retaining handlebar controls. I removed the front fairing and disconnected the two plugs that are part of the stock radio setup. Then I pulled the radio and connected the wiring that came with the Boss unit. Get a wiring diagram for the HD radio to make the appropriate connections. It's not difficult. I got it all connected (threw some new inexpensive new speakers in for good measure) and turned it on. Not everything worked. I couldn't change the FM stations; remote wouldn't work, etc. however, BT, USB, and accessory plug worked fine. I was stunned by the sound quality much better than I expected. So, I called Boss customer service technical support. I expected to be on hold for hours and end up talking to someone that could barely speak English and not know what the heck they were talking about. Well, I was dead wrong. Two rings and i had Chris from tech support,, who speaks English better than me and definitely new his business! He arranged to have a replacement unit sent to me, immediately. All I had to do is replace the unit and leave all of the wiring in place and return the defective unit in a prepaid UPS box. I'm impressed and will use Boss products in the future, due to this experience!

Works as advertised. Surprisingly powerful enough to jack up the volume on the boat without distortion.

Pros: Easy to install Low distortion High volume potential multiple connection options for mp3 player or phone Cons: Not a lot of control options for sound limited EQ settings This unit sounds much better than I expected given the price point. I didn't have high expectations for the sound as I typically buy much higher end audio equipment. I was pleasantly surprised at how loud this unit is able to play with very little distortion. I am very pleased with this purchase and would definitely do it again. I do wish the audio controls allowed the user to have more flexibility for tone adjustment than just the pre-programmed equalizer.

Well, it sort of worked. Display didn’t work but the Bluetooth connected and made a bunch of unintended calls to the last number I dialed. Steaming music sounded great and radio wasn’t too bad either. Had to press buttons on the remote and sometimes got lucky at finding the radio or Bluetooth. Only giving it 3 stars until the replacement shows up and will update after that. Sent detailed photos and explanation to Boss and spoke with their outstanding customer support. To get a replacement under warranty they told me to destroy it and send them photos. Literally said smash it with a hammer and even sent me instructions on what they needed to see in the photos!!! I wanted to do this or more and probably would have regardless (but would have blasted them in reviews and complaints). I’m hopeful the replacement exceeds my expectations just as their customer support has.

Product arrived and was easy to install. Sounded good with small amp pushing speakers. Took boat out twice and worked fine. The second time out I drove through rain on the way home. I allowed boat to dry out before storing again. When putting it in storage I attempted to turn radio on and it would not work. Checked power and fuses, everything indicated head unit getting power, but no display. The radio is under the helm and has a cover over it so limited rain water could get to it. I pulled the wiring harness out of the radio and water was in it. Marine grade should hold up better than that in my opinion.

Having a Issue with my 98 Dodge Ram, I first connected the Boss Stereo to all Speakers, No AMP, NO Power Antenna Used in my Installation..! Stereo turned on and plays music Just Fine at first, turn the Stereo Off either by Ignition Key or Fob, turn back on, NO SOUND..! and it didn't matter how many times I turned the Stereo Off and On, No Sound..! I called Boss Stereo Tech Support, the guy said The Internal Amp has a Safety Feature to TURN OFF if there is any Fault within your Factory Speaker Wires.. Tech Support said to Test One Speaker at a time until I find the Cause of the Problem, so I did,, I Disconnected ALL Speakers, only Wiring one at a time.. Turned out the Left Front FACTORY Speaker Wires had a Short, It would play Music by connecting "ONLY" the Negative Speaker Wire (No Positive Connected).. There was my Problem all Along..!! None of the other 3 Speakers had this Behavior, Both Negative and Positive Speaker wires has to be connected to Play Music with the other 3.. So the guy from BOSS Stereo Tech Support was Correct,, I replaced the Left Speaker Wire, and Everything is Perfect Now..! 98 Dodge Ram Trucks have a Choke Relay Setup (Noise Reduction) within the Factory Wiring Harness, This was NOT Connected at all, when I replaced the Factory Stereo with a Pioneer Years ago. And I Replaced the Factory Speakers with Pioneer Speakers also, so that Choke Relay was Never Powered on with my Pioneer Setup..! However I would Sometimes get Squealing out of the Speakers if I turned the Volume to High with the Pioneer Setup..! Further more There is NO WAY on Earth to get to that Choke Relay without ripping the Entire Dash apart to Disconnect it, but there is NO Power being Supplied to the Choke Relay to begin with, so the Conclusion is, the Speaker Wires are being Shorted by the Choke Relay..! My Personal Best Guess,,! Never the Less, REPLACE Speaker Wires if you Encounter Any Issues such as I did, if a Speaker will Not Produce Sound, and/or Produces sound by connecting ONLY the Negative Speaker Wire, and/or the Boss Stereo Stops Producing Sound to All the Speakers.!! My only Disappointed is, the Pre-set Equalizer Options,, they SUCK..! It plays Much Better Sound quality with Equalizer Turned Off.. I would Wish they would Incorporated Manually Controlled Equalizer is this Stereo System,, PLUS a Slot for a SD Card would be Great Too..!

Everything as advertised, works great and sound great

Tutto extra perfetto come i fornitori di amazon riescono a dare.

Was easy to install and was very happy with the sound of it and the ease to operate

A vederlo così com'è senza essere montato mi sembra buono.... Aspettiamo a montarlo prima per vedere?? ?

The radio in itself is quite a good one, usb works well at both media playing and charging my phone, alas this model is advertised as having a SD card port under the front facia of the radio but the radio does not have such a facility , that is the only drawback in my opinion
