It's a nice upgrade for my 2016 Toyota Tundra. I added a Motorola MA1 to make it wireless. I have an android and I added my apps to give this unit more capabilities. For less than $400 it's pretty darn good.

Horrible quality. It makes my Bose speakers sound like tin cans. I’m debating putting my stock 2003 audi radio back in because that’s how awful the audio sounds. The screen is equally poor in quality, you can count all the pixels on screen. If I weren’t an audio engineer I would’ve made the tech remove the radio as soon as I saw the EQ screen. The biggest issue is that I can’t enjoy my music at all.

Great CarPlay radio and huge display!

After looking at a few other more expensive options for a radio with a large “floating display”, I came across this one at a local sound shop. I was having a hard time justifying the cost of other more expensive name brand units when I was going to be using CarPlay almost exclusively anyway. After playing around with this radio at the shop, the only thing I was worried about was the sound quality, however after installing it and using it the sound quality is actually very good. I was really just hoping it wouldn’t sound worse than my stock radio, but it had turned out to be quite an improvement!
The display on this radio is very bright and vibrant, CarPlay works great, the screen is adjustable up and down and tilts left and right. My backup camera had no issue hooking up with it. I do have a company with the backup camera screen, there is a big yellow banner at the top the ways “check your surroundings” and it blocks a good portion of my camera image. I ended up tuning off the parking guide in settings, which removes this yellow banner, however you also lose the parking guide lines. I never really used them so it does not bother me, but it is something to note.
You can also turn off the “EULA” in settings so you don’t get that warning you have to agree to every time the unit powers up. And although it seems like a small thing, having a physical volume button is great, you would be surprised how many radios do not include this.
I also wouldn’t mind a higher resolution on such a big display, but that would not stop me from selecting this until again.
If you’re looking to add a large touch screen with CarPlay you cannot find a better unit

Great sound and look for my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Very responsive screen and controls. Haven’t gotten to the video streaming yet due to the fact my parking brake wire was not hooked up during the install. My only complaint is that the screen may be too bright even on the lowest setting during night driving. Was able to put the screen in standby mode and still able to enjoy music while only showing the date and time hence the 4 star rating. Great price as most of the other brands are either no-names or $1000 for another reputable brand. Also great 3 year warranty that covers everything. I’ve gotten many compliments on this already and have only had it two days. It totally modernizes my Jeep and truly makes a 17 year old vehicle timeless.

Not working right with 2018 RAV4

I love it! I love how it’s adjustable and the screen size. Butttttt I put it in my 2018 rav4 and the music cracks at a certain volume. It’s like my speakers can’t handle the bass. Very disappointed currently trying to figure out what to do here at Best Buy but I’m writing this review for people that have my specific car. I also had to order 3 parts to get it installed.

Boss 10.1 Headunit Review

I looked at the Pioneer models and didn't want to spend the same as my smartphone on a head unit. This thing was an absolute breeze to install, given the right tools and know-how. The Android Auto is snappy. No issues so far, one month in. Paired with a backup cam and some old steering wheel controls for full use.
It runs warm, like all head units do. It tilts. I think you could mod it to play whatever video files you want. I think you could even get a wireless dongle for the Android Auto / Apple Car Play. If it is on sale, nab it.

Like it, and would buy it again. The screen size is great for Google Maps and I like that it also slides up and down so I can make sure I don’t obstruct the AC vents. Your dashboard configuration might be different though.
Like that the microphone mounts elsewhere, and happy to be handsfree and with CarPlay again. But a much bigger display :)
Audio equalizer/adjustments leave something to be desired. Lacks bass, but the R&B setting seems to work best for all kinds of music.
Wish it came with a backup camera and extended length wiring for my extra long vehicle.

It’s just ok. I don’t like how it’s mounted and how it doesn’t look like it’s a part of the car. It’s real generic looking and the “apps” and controls aren’t great. My son wanted it for the size and the volume knob.

We wanted Apple CarPlay in our 2016 Toyota Sienna and this receiver fills the need. The sound quality is good, it’s easy to use, and all of our steering wheel buttons and backup camera still work. The big screen definitely sticks out a bit but I prefer that over a smaller screen. Besides, any aftermarket receiver isn’t going to look factory so I say lean into it and get a big one.

Was easy to use and easy to install. Only issue with my setup is that the screen got in the way of the AC vents on my 2010 Prius. It IS single DIN and if you got a double din spot, it can be lowered away from your vents. In this case not enough.
Good sound, easy to use. The clock drifted a bit but other than that, solid basic unit.

How Long will it Last?

I had best buy install be9acp, it took a dump. I was lucky to have the best buy warranty, so while at it I upgraded to the be10acp. For some reason the be10acp is lowder and has better base.
It is still working, lets see how long this one will last. On the bright side, Boss has a 3 year warranty, So I a covered for the next 3 years at least.
Best Buy was great with installation, the one in palmdale finally updated their scheduling software which is good (best buy? come on, you would think they would have had this up to par with industry standards (they were using a notebook 6 months ago)) but its all good now, they use some scheduling software on a computer.
Installers are great! Most importantly they where masks and take care of your car. Not like these local shops that think Covid is over.

Works great , Definitely a better radio then I thought it would be .I have it hooked up to two kicker amps that' is running my two 6-1/2 memphis , two 6-1/2 jbl speakers,four 2" speakers ,two kicker 6x9s and 2- 12" kicker subs and two Skar 6- 1/2 subs in a 97 Camaro z-28 and it Rocks and pounds hard .I debated about getting it as all my other decks were twice As much as this one and better name brands ..Just my opinion but I would not hesitate to buy this unit again as Ive had no issues with it what so ever And was easier to set up to watch movies and YouTube on them then it was with my other expensive decks
