   Rating four stars because we like it but there are little things that aren’t great.

   Pros: -cheap with tons of features.
   -kids love that it plays video for them in the back seat (we have a seperate monitor in the back, not included). we got it because our other dvd unit died, and this has played everything that we have thrown at it.
   -easy install by myself with a harness. I also experimented and installed a backup cam that works great. flip screen is clear and bright for easy usage.
   -bluetooth works well and microphone picks up voice fine without installing an external mic.
   -flip screen seems decent strength–while initially installed it kept hitting a part of the dash and stopped until room was made. didn’t mean to but i felt like it tested the mechanics and it performed well and seemed on the «tough» side.

   Cons: -when you start the car it it has to flip the screen up everytime. not a big deal but when its cold then it makes a squealing sound. makes me think cold locations may get annoyed.
   -When CD plays the screen shows a graphic of levels of sound which have nothing to do with the music, we just close the screen.
   -main knob is not very substantial feeling and not promenent from the face. it would be nice for it to be a little larger for ease, still have had no problems with volume or control. Just letting people know who want to know.
   -Bluetooth only pairs with one phone at a time seems like. so if my wife drives it will pair great but if I take the van out I have to do the whole setup thing again to get it to pair with my phone each time.

   I installed this in a 2012 vehicle exactly as it says in its installation manual and it worked GREAT the 1st day. When I was buying the installation adapter the salesman at a vehicle installation specialty store told me they call ALL Boss audio sound systems «6-6-6» systems because they either work, 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months. Ours did not last even TWO days! After working GREAT the 1st day the stereo did not turn on at all the second day. Nothing worked. I suggest all other possible customers to look for a different brand DVD Receiver.

   This product for the price is simply amazing. It was a snap to install with an additionally purchased dash kit. The dash kit came with a harness and that was also a plus. This item has a decent enough screen that it’s awesome to watch movies and interact with the unit through the touch screen. The iPod menu could use a better GUI as you have to scroll endlessly for your song. other than that, connectivity was simple and immediate. Plug and play. The radio station all come in strong and clear and there are several options to correct any signal anomalies. This unit has no separate bass, mid or treble controls. It comes with a preset EQ’s. I believe that you can EQ the movies better though. I purchased and additional back up camera to add to this unit and it displays that very nicely. 85 watts a channel and a lot of extra connectors for front, rear and sub amps. This unit will «stand alone» power a set of 4 x 125 watt speakers nicely. Although lacking in audio tone controls, this unit does sound clear, clean and loud. You have to trick-wire the unit to see the rear view camera image or DVD movies while driving (Not suggested) as the manual dictates that you should wire the unit up to the reverse (camera)/brake (DVD Video) lights in order for the video to show. DVD’s play great and is simple to use. DVD audio is awesome as well. Lots of bass from all sources.This unit has a lot of very cool features like the Bluetooth connectivity for step by step GPS audio directions and hands free phone calling (which works perfectly) as well as the voice calling feature. Bluetooth audio will not work with Bluetooth GPS voice guidance at the same time. But that is alright as you shouldn’t listen to two things at the same time….or can you? lol!! All in all, I would just want better tone controls. STILL, I am very satisfied with this product.
