The Bluetooth feature is great. Hooked up very quickly, almost on it's own. I'm able to stream music from Spotify, and make & answer phone calls easily. Song track info doesn't show up when streaming, though. The remote control is nearly useless. I have to be sure it's only a few inches from the radio, pointed exactly right, and even then I have to push buttons 5 or 6 times to get it to work. Not ideal when driving down the highway. If I would have known I was going to lose my steering wheel controls, I probably wouldn't have purchased this. The LCD display is nearly invisible in sunlight, and the user manual doesn't offer any information regarding this, or much of anything else. I guess Boss assumes everyone is an expert on car audio terminology, and doesn't explain the different features or terms. I guessed TA, means traffic alert, and APS might mean automatic program scan (?), but don't know what AF or many of the other acronyms mean, and I can't find any info in the user guide or on the Boss website. FM reception in not nearly as good as my stock radio. Overall I'm not very happy with anything except the Bluetooth, which is one of the main reasons I bought a new radio. I have a couple of weeks to decide if I want to keep it, or exchange it for another one, and chances are I'll be taking it back.
