BV9351B

This review is for multiple items which was copied into each product review. I recently purchased this Boss Audio Systems BV9351B Boss Audio Double-Din, Bluetooth, DVD/CD/USB/MP3/Wma, FM/Am Receiver for my 2008 Smart Fortwo Cabrio and I love it! It is such an upgrade to the standard head unit. The reason I upgraded to this unit is because of the added Bluetooth/USB Charging ports. The unit itself I feel is a steal for the price. Some of the better aspects are the responsive touch screen, ease of use, and all the listening functions. If I were to be picky I would change two things. One, I would like the volume button to be more responsive on first turn. I believe that is purposely lagged in case you accidentally bump the dial. Two, the USB port can't stream from USB to iPod/iPhone. You have to either use the Bluetooth or Aux port. This was my first unit install and it was easier than expected. All the cords were labeled and I bought a great harness which made it even easier. The harness I bought was a Metra 70-1783 Radio Wiring Harness for Smart Car . It was color coordinated and made for a very easy install. It added a level of confidence for a first time installer like me. For the antenna I used the Metra Electronics 40-VW10 Factory Antenna to Aftermarket Radio Adapter for Select 1988-Up Audi/BMW/Mercedes/SMART Vehicles . It was an easy plug and play adapter. Lastly, the dash kit I used to add that OEM look was the Scosche ST2430B 2008 Smart ForTwo Passion/Pure Double DIN or DIN With Pocket . The kit came with an extra din to hold items however I purchased a double din system. The kit came with easy instructions and added a factory look. Just be careful with the provided screws because they can damage the brackets if you aren't careful. Overall, my first install was easier, quicker, and better than I expected. If you use the products in the review you wont be disappointed! Update: One day after install the original Boss unit I purchased started having the touch issues as stated in some of the reviews where it recognized you were touching it but failed to respond. I did the return process through Amazon and received a new one the next day! I installed the replacement 5 days ago and haven't had any issues so far (fingers crossed.) If it happens again I will update the review.

This unit is fantastic. Coupled with a great deal on black Friday, it's a no brainer. It went into an older Chevy Colorado, with the OEM radio only capable of playing radio stations. The radio it replaced had a disc player broken, no aux jack, no bluetooth. It was painful. Purchased this with a metra GM interface adapter, antenna adapter, and metra GM double din installation kit (only for the brackets, I didn't need the faceplate). Installation was a breeze. I used butt joints with shrink fitting ends. I didn't even attempt to wire a rear view camera or the parking brake to the dvd player. I will not be watching DVD's while parked so this was not a concern. The unit fit perfectly, looks like it should be there, and works great. The chimes from the metra installation kit were key, as losing my OEM radio this is something that is lost in GM vehicles. Sound quality - know what you are buying. I have a small pickup truck with 6 speakers in it. It takes very little to sound big in my vehicle. If you are looking to hook up an amp and have a high performance system, you may be disappointed. This is not even trying to compete with the high end units....it is out there to be the everyday, average user. For me, it sounds fantastic. The bluetooth capability is wonderful, and doesn't skip a beat (except when my phone has to re-buffer the signal). I am guessing the aux jack works well, but I haven't used it...the less wires the better! Also, bluetooth charging is supported which is quite nice. I have made/received a few calls - this unit is wonderful. The folks at the other end didn't even know I was in my truck, and said it sounded fantastic. With the audio piped through the car speakers, I have zero complaints. This radio is built for the average user, and performs well above average. I highly recommend if you are looking for a replacement to your OEM radio.

This has worked fine since we bought it with one issue that prevented me from giving it five stars. One day we got in the car and the unit was completely dead. Pulled and replaced the fuse, even though it was good. Still nothing. Took it out of the dash, unplugged it and left it unplugged for a while. Plugged it back in and it has been working since. For that I had to take one star off.

I really like all the features included in this radio. The sound is rich for such an inexpensive price. I like the Bluetooth streaming, the integrated phone, CD player , and tuner. I’ve not connected the dvd or backs up camera. I don’t like I have to push the warning “Accept” button every time before the tuner comes on. I wish it was instant on. I installed it myself and found very easy to do. I bought an adapter for my F150 wiring harness

Don’t recommend this product. After installing this radio the first time it only lasted 4 days then blacked out. I’m a mechanic so i did some trouble shooting of wiring and found everything to be ok and the fuse on the back of the radio to be alright as well. just failed internally. Got the unit replaced and the second unit only lasted 4 months and it backed out as well. Quality is what you pay for.

These touch screens have always been an issue with only because I am old and like to push buttons. I am getting used to this technology though. I installed this in a 2003 Ford PU truck. So now I have blue tooth and I purchased a backup camera in the tailgate handle. No need to trade the truck in now. I am at least up to a 2010 technology. I would like to find the setting on the radio so the radio does not automatically come on when I start the truck. Otherwise, not bad for the price.

All good products

Works very well, easy to install if you know what youre doing, touch screen has a very minor delay but works well for the value

Montado en mi auto Ford Focus Europa 2007, funciona bien en general, pero en ocasiones se queda bloqueado y aun con el auto apagado, el stereo no se apaga. Debo quitar la energía desconectando la batería para que pierda energía y que pueda funcionar correctamente.

je suis satisfait de la radio , tel que prévu rien a dire , contrôle touch screen répond très bien , qualité audio très bien ( pour le prix) ,beau look, le microphone intégré pour les appels fonctionne très bien

Lo compre en Mayo, tiene 5 meses y ya la pantalla se perdió a la mitad, quería ver si tenía garantía y ya venció. Tiene muy poco tiempo para ya haber fallado, no lo recomiendo. No se dónde mandarlo a componer😰😰😰😰
