BCPA14 Car Stereo - Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Single Din, 14 Inch Capacitive LCD Touchscreen, Bluetooth, No DVD CD Player, AM/FM Radio Receiver, Multicolor Illumination

This radio was purchased for my 2012 Kenworth W-900. The sounds quality is amazing. The features are working as expected. Connected straight to Bluetooth for the Apple CarPlay. The features had to be adjusted to hear the navigation but was pretty simple. The screen swivels and adjust upward and downward which enables me to still see all the gauges on the dash. My first time ever installing a radio and it turn out to be pretty simple. Just had to make sure I had the correct adapter for compatibility.

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.

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.

This is an outstanding head unit for the price point. The form factor, features, and build quality are very good. It’s also a ‘real’ head unit in the sense that it’s not just an android tablet stuck to the dash where you have to navigate an android home screen and apps to do things. The floating display is a lot better than I expected for the price and looks good. It is capacitive touch as well. The real volume knob is a welcome upgrade from the typical units with buttons for volume. The buttons next to the knob however can get inadvertently tapped sometimes if you drag your fingers across them by choking up too much on the knob. That’s easily avoided once you see how it can happen. The single din form factor was what led me to this unit in the first place since I’m limited to single din with a very tight bezel on my 1996 f-350. The floating display clears the bezel perfectly and can be angled perfectly to the driver. The only thing to consider is that due to the weight and floating display this single din will have to be supported in the rear. The factory rear support for mine was gone so I had to make one for my truck. I wouldn’t personally rely on just the sleeve for mounting. I wouldn’t hesitate to install one of these even in a double din slot after using it though. The input and output options are very full featured. I liked that in addition to front and rear camera inputs there are also 500ma power outputs to connect for the cameras so you don’t have to scavenge power from somewhere else. Many of the inputs are pigtailed as well so you have more flexibility on placement and the ability to seal plugs like RCAs together with tape or heat shrink so they don’t come loose. I’m not that picky on audio but everything sounds fine to me. There are also a lot of good UI/config options such as the ability to disable the license agreement from popping up every time after the first view, etc. The only real issue I’ve run into is that sometimes upon restarting the vehicle after having listened to BT audio or CarPlay it starts up with the volume muted or at 0. Easy to deal with once you realize what’s going on. I don’t see any firmware updates so I’m not sure if Boss provides any.

Love the Boss Audio system with the adjustable screen. Bought one for me and one for my wife and will be buying a third soon. They are for our 2014/2015 Fiat 500es. These fit great. One word of advice. If you are using a Metra SWC module, program the module with the settings in the picture. Once you follow their procedure, it works great! Wireless CarPlay is excellent! Nice and clear. And built in theft deterrent as you can disconnect the screen and hide it or take it with you.

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

Recién lo instalo, así que si presenta algún problema futuro con la durabilidad o fallos actualizaré, pero por ahora todo bien , funciona bastante bien con apple CarPlay, la pantalla tiene ajuste de altura lo cual ayuda a que no estorbe a otros componentes, creo que es una buena opción por el precio

Works well.

tengo mas de 2 meses usando el producto y he leído todos los comentarios, sobre los defectos mas comunes los cuales se pueden solucionar de forma sencilla 1 demasiado brillante de noche. si se conecta de la forma correcta se elimina este problema, tiene un cable para conectarlo (o puentierlo) a las luces del carro así que cuando prendes las luces el radio cambia a Modo de noche y baja la intensidad de luz junto con las luces de tablero. 2 si los cables de las rca, son de buena calidad el sonido es muy bueno. en general el radio me parece excelente por el precio.

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