BOSS Audio Systems BCPA8 Single DIN Car Stereo Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 8 Inch Touchscreen, Bluetooth, AM/FM Radio Receiver

I installed this radio in my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. I chose this unit because it would enable me to use my mobile phone hands free, and because it would enable me use map feature for navigation. It also enabled me to update the truck with a back up camera to help in tight spaces. I chose this unit because the swivel mounted screen enables me to tilt the screen for better visibility from the driver's seat. I enjoy the auto darkening of the screen for night operations, the radio functions quite well also. Great value for the amount I paid. I have had it in my truck for about a year now. I would say that the installation is best done by someone with soldering skills and the ability to locate and read a vehicle wiring diagram, so I would not recommend for beginners.

I haven’t installed a car stereo in decades. Maybe a quarter century, even! Ended up being pretty simple. The 2009 Tahoe had an aftermarket stereo installed about 11 years ago. At the time, it was an Alpine 1U unit and the whole thing installed was $700+. Over time, the unit remained fine but technology had moved on. I really wanted to be able to connect my phone via BT and stream music. The Alpine, having no Bluetooth, meant an after-aftermarket Bluetooth dongle jacked into the Alpine’s rear-panel USB port. Sadly, the setup never worked exceedingly well, forcing me to hard-reboot the Alpine regularly to get BT running. What a pain. Time to stop with the hard reboots! 😹 I check out things online, want a screen, but not take up more than the 1U space reserved. This unit fit the bill just fine - ordered it with the 9” display. The original aftermarket receiver install used some PAC modules to interface the receiver with the steering wheel controls and other truck features. Hoped that changing the receiver wasn’t going to also force me to buy all new interface modules. The hardest thing was identifying the existing wire colors, making sure that this unit had the same setup, and then cutting out the old aftermarket harness and splicing in the new radio’s harness. Took maybe 45 min. Adjusted the PAC SWC-1 for Boss, and bam! it all worked fine. Great sound quality, excellent price, and a huge display. Definitely would recommend!!!

Purchased this for my dump truck semi, ordered a radio harness for the truck and only took about 15 mins to attach to the radio harness and maybe another 20 to install. I’ve been using it for a week so far and it works pretty good. The microphone works well enough to use the hands free with the windows up while driving my rig which is very loud. Some people have said it sounds like the microphone is far away from me or doesn’t cut out the background noise well, but it works good enough for the majority of my many phone calls while working. The display is large enough to show my gps directions and music streaming information. It was very easy to connect my iPhone too and automatically connects. That being said there are a few glitches already. It will randomly disconnect from my phone and won’t let me reconnect for a few minutes, but it usually reconnects fairly quick. While using CarPlay it will randomly switch back to the source selection screen, and after pressing the CarPlay button will keep switching back after a minute or two, but I figured out pressing the home button on the bottom of the radio will bring me back into CarPlay and usually stop it from going back to the source screen. Also the av input button is right next to the volume dial and way to easy to accidentally graze while adjusting the volume which is a little annoying. It also doesn’t have radio station memory buttons while using the radio tuner, which is dumb. You can favorite a station and it has buttons for switching radio frequency or switching between favorited stations. So far it’s held up on rough bumpy roads and everything works decent enough. The audio quality is better than the factory radio to the point I need to upgrade the speakers in the truck. As long as it holds up working like it is now I’d say it’s a good purchase.

Does a solid job in my 2010 Toyota Tundra. Very easy to set up and holds Bluetooth connection wells. But I assume most of us are purchasing for wired CarPlay. Those of us who are, there is one catch. CarPlay works great, but it has a bit of a laggy refresh rate. A lot closer to 30hz. Not a problem really, but keep that in mind. Still has great clarity even when driving long strips of Florida highways during the summer. The value proposition in general with this is incredible. Not the fanciest but does an excellent job. There isn’t a better CarPlay option at this price.

Looks like a great product but unfortunately didn’t fit my car like I anticipated so had to return

Works well.

Excelente calidad de materiales y sobre todo la calidad del audio. Me pareció un buen precio.

I’m going to give this 5 stars for now, as I only installed it a few days ago. Install was easy in a 2004 Jeep TJ Wrangler. Fits well. Kind of blocks the heat controls at maximum height adjustment but not terrible. It’s a huge upgrade to the Jeep. It really is feature packed. The Wireless CarPlay works flawlessly, the touch screen is very responsive, I love the button layout and volume knob. Phone calls are loud and clear. I will be adding a backup camera eventually. I use an external amp for the speakers and sub so I can’t comment on the internal power. Huge value for the money and it far exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that they didn’t include a soft bag for the removable screen.

Love this in our 2004 class C (Ford Chassis) works fantastic, don't really care about concert quality sound, wanted it for navigation and CarPlay in our RV. Paired it with a wireless Carlink it adaptor for wireless CarPlay and it works fantastic. Love the removable screen for security.
