BOSS Audio Systems 625UAB Single DIN Car Stereo with Bluetooth - No CD DVD Player, AM/FM Radio Receiver, Aux Input, USB

Here's a possible review:*BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB Car Stereo Review*I've been using the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB car stereo for a while now, and I'm really impressed with its performance. This single DIN unit packs a punch with its Bluetooth connectivity, USB, Aux-in, and AM/FM radio capabilities.The sound quality is clear and crisp, and the Bluetooth connection is seamless. I can easily stream music from my phone and make hands-free calls. The USB port allows me to plug in my flash drive and access my music library.The interface is user-friendly, and the installation process was straightforward. I appreciate that it doesn't have a CD/DVD player, which makes it more compact and modern.Overall, I'd highly recommend the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB car stereo for anyone looking for a reliable, feature-packed, and affordable upgrade for their vehicle.*Pros:*- Clear and crisp sound quality- Seamless Bluetooth connectivity- User-friendly interface- Compact design*Cons:*- No CD/DVD player (though this may be a pro for some!)Would I recommend it? Absolutely!

Surprisingly great product. The installation was easy, when I realized my stero wires were labeled so I could follow the directions. The sound is decent, I actually need new speakers but after 30 years thats expected. The Bluetooth works exactly as it did in my other car, it may actually connect faster than my 2018 Kia did. The call quality is great on my end and only my Husband complained that he couldn't hear me and he has a cheap phone and cheap headphones, so it can't overcome poor quality connections. For my side, the radio is paired to a Samsung Galaxy s23, it plays Pandora and Amazon Music 🎶 with no issues, though I do need to turn the sound up, which I had to do in my Kia so, no difference.Great streo and a price that I loved 😍.

This radio is a basic radio and is exactly what I wanted. The instructions were a little bit lacking, especially if you wanted to hook up amplifiers as they already existed for me. I called customer service and they were excellent. One of the best customer service experiences I had in quite a while. Everything is resolved now. I just wish that information was in the original instructions.

This radio plugged in to my 2022 John Deere 5100 factory wiring harness. You will have to buy a antenna adapter separately. Love that the radio is Bluetooth capable in automatically connects to my phone and Spotify. When I purchase this from Amazon I thought I was getting a remote which was in the description but did not. But it's okay

Once paired, there is no way to disconnect from Bluetooth other than to un-pair from your phone. Okay, so I put a mini-toggle on-off switch next to the radio to turn off the ACC wire simulating turning off the ignition key. That is so I can quickly connect with my headset if I get an incoming call or need to make a call. Lucky I have a van with lots of dash space for a switch. Back to the problem, once paired, the Bluetooth connects any time the unit is powered up. Thus phone calls and other Bluetooth audio that I want to go through my phone speaker or headset is automatically diverted to the radio without my ability to control it. On a normal Bluetooth device like earbuds you simply turn it off. There should be a Bluetooth on/off button but there is not. I called BOSS customer service and they confirmed the lack of functionality.Second, the Bluetooth chops the first words when listening to say a language course. When there is no audio for example between spoken sentences the beginning word of the next sentence is chopped off. My headsets and other audio devices like my JBL Flip 5 do not have this problem. This triggered my return of the product. The Bluetooth works okay for general audio as most radio programming is constant noise and for song such as from YouTube you don't notice the initial chop.There is what looks like a graphic audio spectrum display that BOSS calls "Dancing LEDs". Guess why. Its because they all dance up and down in unison. There is no frequency band information, just a cosmetic garbage display. Its an insult to intelligence, and a driving distraction. There is no way to disable the dumb display of "Dancing LEDs".There is no good way to adjust the display illumination except through the menu. The dash illumination level wire in the vehicle wiring harness is ignored. Too bright at night and can't see it during the day.Audio quality is probably "okay" although note that BOSS specs omit the distortion (THD) specification altogether. I guess FM these days sounds like crap. Bluetooth from my phone sounded "okay" though raspy as did the Auxiliary input. Power output seems good.I presume this is all due to CCP garbage engineering of the chip-set and I bet all low-end radios like this one suffer all the same flaws using the same chip set. Its pretty lame. I'm returning mine and going to look for something better.Because it hijacks the Bluetooth connection, I would not recommend this radio unless you don't mind the work-around ACC switch and all the other flaws. And don't let the amazing number of reviews fool you, most people probably have not run into the flaws mentioned.The price is good. I bought mine for $29 and now Amazon has it for $23 if I purchase in the next three hours. Its not worth it unless you are okay with the flaws. Mine is getting returned.
