Doesn't work when hot

No issue with Crutchfield but this particular stereo sucks. After about a year I started having issues with it in the afternoons when the car interior was hot. It won't stay on a channel and continually scans. On a cool morning or during the winter it works fine. spent quite a lot on this order, expected it to last longer than it has...

Crutchfield=Great! Boss Audio=Meh...

My 2 star rating coincides with how many years of service this unit has provided before failure. Crutchfield is awesome, but I should've known better than to go with a "budget brand". Purchased and installed April 2021, into a vehicle that doesn't get used every day, so I'm pretty sure that with daily use, it would've failed sooner. After installation, up until about 3 months ago, this unit worked well for it's budget minded price point, did what it's supposed to, decent sound quality, reasonable adjustability and really just worked as advertised. About 3 months ago, it started randomly losing it's memory, basically resetting upon startup, which apparently means it automatically turns on at volume 15, on the lowest FM number possible, so after starting the vehicle your instantly blasted with loud static, all presets and settings (including the clock) are lost. I then reset everything and it'll work properly for an undetermined amount of time, until the next time it decides to test my bowel continence. So now I'm back, looking for a new, more reliable unit, but I definitely expect to pay more for higher quality.

This is an excellent Stereo at a great price. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Not Quite There

While a good stereo for the money, which plays media and music from a lot of different sources (why I got it)... there are a number of minor issues I've come across that combined, have me seriously considering returning it and getting something else. When playing a CD or audio from an SD card or USB stick, if I press the mute button on the radio, it doesn't auto pause playback. If I start the car and put it into drive/reverse too soon, the radio never turns on, I have to put the car back into park in order for the radio to power up (10 sec later). I haven't attached the reversing camera, but I am often backing up before the radio finishes initializing (I suspect the camera won't kick in until initialized). If playlist is set to shuffle, the radio automatically resets to repeat all (it doesn't save my settings). Bluetooth seems to work, but the phone history doesn't save. There is no way to manually adjust radio frequencies, so if the radio deems it's not clear enough, you can't type a frequency to save for later. Touch screen is a bit less sensitive and the response is delayed enough that sometimes I touch twice and get sent to a different screen than I wanted. The bluetooth icon doesn't take me to bluetooth settings, and I can't connect a phone without turning off of the music. No speed related volume control. No clock without powering up fully. No DVD Audio only option, Autolink only with parking break engaged. Why do I need a remote with 70 buttons for a car stereo?

I like the radio, but need a ready harness service to connect, called via chat and talked to Rucker. According to him we can only get that part if we send back everything and re-order. problem with that, this radio is now dis-continued and no longer available, now what, husband is fuming.

Good, not great.

This is my first BOSS unit. It works fine but touchscreen response is slower than expected, I have to "hold" the buttons to get a response. Simply tapping yields no results. For the money I think it's decent but users needing immediate touch response will be unhappy and should look at other units.

Wish buttons were bigger but a nice system

Has a bit of a learning curve for use but not hard to use. Streaming and USB use is easy. I do wish there was an option to make GUIs larger and also that the time was larger. Many things I can only get into when stopped because the GUI buttons are small. Still for the cost it's a great system and I think I'll like the backup camera.

Seems to be a good unit so far. The mounting hardware was spot on and the fitment was excellent. They forgot my screw kit, but I just used some other screws I had laying around to mount the receiver brackets. The back up camera wiring diagram is one of the worst I've ever seen though.... needs immediate improvement. Overall I am pleased with the unit.

Disappointed in quality. No response from Crutchfield.

Very glitchy. Sometimes will not play, like internal Amp will not engage. Sometimes backup camera will not power on when in reverse, have to chose it in the function to force it on. Takes 2-4 min to power up. Bluetooth might connect to phone on its own. Have to move about a 1/4" below what you want to push on the touch screen.

Pay little, get little.

I bought this stereo to improve the Bluetooth phone call quality of my old one, which had an external mic. In very little time I figured out that the Boss had poor phone call quality as well. The microphones are the weak spot I think. No one can hear me well during calls. To this day, I'm still complaining about the touch screen, specifically, varying levels of sensitivity and the location of the touch to activate a button- directly on top of the icon or off to the side. It's all very frustrating. The rest of the stereo is ok. Good sound. Good streaming from my phone and the installation was easy as usual using the guides from Crutchfield. I haven't tried the backup camera yet. It doesn't seem to be worth hooking it up if I'm going to be replacing this soon. The stereo is cheap but I got what I paid for I guess.

Dead after 2 years.

I bought this unit 2 years ago and it worked very well. 1 first issue this summer the audio buttons stopped working properly. It wasn't adjusting the audio correctly, it would turn the audio down when you tried turning it up. 2nd, the unit went dead, I disconnected reconnected and it work for about a month and now it's dead again. I was hoping something like this would last more than 2 years.

Don't forget to calibrate touch screen for optimal performance

This is not a bad little head unit for the price. The installation kit and steering wheel controls matched my 2007 Honda Pilot setup without a hitch. Previous reviews mentioned the touchscreen not being responsive, but this may be due to the users not calibrating the screen. The setting is found in the "about" screen in the settings menu. Also, adjust the tuner's input level if you think you hear static, as it may be distortion. The tuner's sound improved dramatically when I reduced the input level to 3. As always, the customer support at Crutchfield is unparalleled to that of any other online business.

Packed with features for the price

This deck has so many features for the money. With all the features it has, it still lacks one of the most basic features.A non-fading subwoofer output. I could believe there was no hi/lo pass crossovers. I could overlook the touchscreen functionality while using the equalizer. A subwoofer output that fades from front to rear is almost unheard in modern car stereo decks. However, I have been buying and installing my own car stereo equipment for 27 years, which Crutchfield could confirm if their records go back that far. I have never purchased a deck with so many features for so little cash. I also registered the product for the 5 year warranty, and Boss was quick to respond. I would recommend this product to others, not audiophiles or EQ tweakers, but to average users who want a ton of features in their car stereo for a low price. Sounds good enough for the 2005 Camry I have installed it in.

Slow startup

Radio takes 10 to 15 seconds to startup when vehicle is turned on. The other thing I don't like is when the backup camera is on the screen the audio goes away. I'm hoping I've missed a setting to correct this.

Boss BV765BLC

I bought this touchscreeen and back up camera package to upgrade the stock radio in my 2013 Ram Tradesman panel van. To add video in the dash and retain the cd player, this was a very reasonably priced option. The Good: Even with paying extra for Crutchfield to assemble the wiring harness, the radio and back up camera package was very affordable. The wiring harness couldnt have been simpler to install, Crutchfield did a great job in taking care of all the connections, applying labels where needed, and tying it all up in a neat package. The camera works well, and it activates relatively quickly upon shifting into reverse. The Not So Good: The radio does not have RDS, so it cannot display the song title or artist. It wasn't advertised as such, so I dont feel cheated, but it feels like that's pretty standard on contemporary radios now. It also doesnt display song names on CD's either. The Bluetooth phone connection is straightforward, but it has the typical audio level drop. This package shipped with a 16.5' video cord to connect the back up camera. This may be fine for a compact car, but if you need to route the cable through a tailgate- SUV or van, possibly in a larger sedan, theres no where near enough length. I bought a 33' cable from elsewher (because I couldnt find one on the crutchfield website) and that was comfortably long, like 3 ' extra. It wasnt an expensive part, but I also would have ordered it with the radio instead of sourcing it once the install

Nice stereo with additional features for the price. I'm enjoying the new radio so far. I was replacing the original radio in my 2009 Kia after it died. The installation process was straight forwards. it isn't clear whether the unit has a built in microphone or not. There's 4 manuals on the website and 3 show a microphone and the 4th doesn't, which is the one include with my unit. the other issue i have is usb cover & the installation kit for my car. It blocks the usb port from opening enough to allow a usb to be plugged in.

Junk

Installation wasn't bad, but the touchscreen isn't very responsive. The hands free bluetooth phone feature was one of the main reasons why I bought this, but It never worked right, choppy sound on both ends. The sound of the stereo was good, howver after about a 6 months the unit would turn on but no sound whatsoever. This issue was completely random one day no sound for the whole day, then I would go a few weeks of no issues. It also started to randomly switch from radio to disc (if it has a disc in it) or from radio to USB (if a USB drive is plugged in). The back up camera also has horrible resolution, ie distortion lines, flashing, from day one, Avoid purchasing this unit at all costs!

I want to smash it every single day now It has so many issues I can't even listen to music or radio anymore ,The volume goes down by itself ,you want to turn up the volume and it goes from 0 to 1 and back in circles do not go over 2 setting . Mostly I listen to live cd albums and and it doesn't play smoothly there is a gap between tracks ,There will be a momentary pause in-between tracks when playing live CD's ,ruining the concert experience ,the only good thing about this unit is the backup rear camera

Affordable options for the old car. But not the best.

I chose the Boss BV765BLC because of the following reasons: (1) it is affordable, (2) it includes the review camera, (3) it has a CD/DVD player. They all works as it should. And Crutchfield provides great instructions and accessories. However, there are some cons: (1) When you push the camera button, the music stops. (2) The touch screen is not sensitive, you have to push hard to operate. (3) The system is just slow. Once you push any other button after pushing a button, you have to wait. (4) The screen is not bright enough. (5) The sound is not very good. If you are a music lover, please find something else. The equalizer is not helpful. (6) The review camera angle is not wide enough. But the view is clear enough to see. (7) System booting time is long.

Replaced door speakers with kickers and also run an amp with subs under the rear seat. This radio mainly pushes the door speakers and does it very well.

Very basic receiver, but very affordable with great options on a budget. This receiver is kind of no frills. It does offer a lot of the options the higher cost radios do without breaking the bank, but screen resolution and functionality are pretty basic. Overall it's a solid unit at this price point and the addition of the rear camera was nice for the whole kit. I ended up using my factory camera instead so I can't speak to how well the camera works.

OK for CD play, but radio has poor selectivity, AM and FM stations on neighboring frequencies can be heard. I normally listen at about volume 15, have to turn up BT to over 30 to hear phone.

This radio was installed in a 2001 Mustang. Turning on took 9 seconds at best and so using the rear camera was a real delay. Crutchfield sent me another unit but it didn't have 2 outputs to feed the car amps. But, I tried the on time and it too had a 9 to 10 second delay. Checked power to the radio and it was immediate. So, Crutchfield sent another unit. Turns out the box had two radios in it. I tried both radios and one had a 6 second delay which was the best of the 4 that I've tried. I talked with Boss and they were unaware of this delay or so they said. I decided to keep the best of the units and would surely recommend crutchfield as they do everything possible to get it right.

2004 Toyota Sienna

Installed in a 2004 Toyota Sienna van, install went smooth with provided instructions very helpful. I soldered the wire pigtail that came with the radio to the vehicle specific wiring harness without any issues, simply match colors and use heat shrink to cover solder each connection. Radio works well, great sound, easy to operate. Touchscreen could be a bit more responsive but improved after calibration. Have not installed back-up camera yet, this is a bit daunting with having to route wires from outside into rear hatch, through rubber cable chase into vehicle and all the way to dashboard. Might not be worth the work involved.

Many drawbacks

Unfortunately I delayed installing this unit until long after the return window was closed. Extremely poor documentation; spontaneous reset with loss of memories/settings; annoying constant-volume hiss when connected to any bluetooth functionality (at least it doesn't get louder with increased volume); very poor bluetooth handsfree phone audio (both outgoing and incoming); long lag on volume changes when using volume control knob; strangely laid-out and unintuitive menu system; poor interface for navigating SD card tracks. Otherwise the sound is OK and things basically work. On the upside, the unit was inexpensive... but you don't get what you don't pay for. :-|

Boss BV765BLC

Unfortunately like other reviews, this Boss BV765 turns itself off unexpectedly and resets. It's done this over 4 times since I had the unit less than a month. It loses time and memory for your preset radio stations, causing you to go through the process over and over again. The sound is so so, but the connection with my iPhone was easy and works great. The back-up camera was easy to install and has a great picture. The touch screen was ok, sometimes you have to touch several times to get it to work. What I really liked was the volume control knob which is hard to find on newer radios. Crutchfield customer service is good and returns are easy. Was not offered another unit or something more reliable. I really like purchasing from Crutchfield, and like the fact that you can get the plug in adapter harness ready to go, but unfortunately right now their selection is minimal (either out of stock or waiting for stock) and I had to purchase a different unit from someone else. I wish I could have kept this unit after going through and taking time to install. Now I have to go through the trouble and time of un-install and sending it back. So, take a chance and purchase, maybe you'll be lucky and won't get a unit that keeps turning itself off. Or you won't, or you can just live with it.

Touchscreen

The touch screen is not very good. The screen feels off when you go to tap buttons.

Trash! Buy a Pioneer instead.

This radio is trash. I knew better than to buy a Boss but there were literally no other options that fit my criteria so I risked it. There are miss-spellings in the menu (e.g "triger"). There's no crossover settings. There's no option to reverse the sub action. It doesn't play cd's seemlessly through the track transitions, inserting a long pause while it loads the next track. The installation instructions are very lacking, especially w.r.t. the camera. The startup time is atrocious - you have to wait through a splash screen, and then wait for the cd to load, and it won't load the cd if you're already in reverse. The scan function doesn't let you stop the scan on a station you want to listen to. I don't care for how insensitive the touchsceen is, but that could be a positive too.

shoddy software, lame support

I bought this unit primarily to do 2 things - add a backup camera to the 2009 Honda CR-V and to play music from USB sticks. 1st issue - programming the Maestro datalink box. This requires running an app for Windows or Mac - I don't have either (Linux). I do have a win7 virtual machine available but no one at Crutchfield or Maestro tech support could tell me if the USB passthru mode of VirtualBox would work. (it does) Has this issue never come up before ?? 2nd issue - running the cable for the rear camera. The Crutchfield instructions had no mention of how to route the cable from back to front. They sent a link to a video of a guy adding a wireless camera (??) to a CR-V. Good tutorial in opening and mounting in the trunk lid but no routing. I ended up going thru the roof liner for 3 ft. then down thru the door and floor trim. 3rd issue - the usb reader will only play in file creation order, does not sort alphanumerically. Both tech supports no help. Google led me to a 17 year old utility "fatsort" that will modify the timestamps of your directory tree to reflect the alphanumeric sequence. The stick will then play in proper order. Why is this not the default ?? There are several other UI design inadequacies with the Boss unit - font selection, truncated file data, folder list always starts at the beginning, improper setup defaults, .....

Great functionality for adding safety features to older vehicle!

Excellent sound quality and functionality at a solid price point - put this in my 2007 Explorer Sport Trac with relative ease, thanks to the detailed instructions and technical support from the Crutchfield team. Sound is clear, bluetooth phone connection works great, and the rearview camera coming as part of the kit makes it a great purchase. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants to put a couple of these nice safety features into an older vehicle they love without spending an arm and a leg!

One of the big reasons I got this HU was for the volume know, and it broke about two months in. Volume skips back and forth when I try to turn it up. Touch screen kinda sucks too. Also, the RCA output voltage is pretty pitiful. I knew that going in, but still, I dont feel like theres any good reason for it to be that low. Backup camera sucks too, but again, kinda knew that going in. Thoroughly unimpressed.

After receiving this customer's feedback, we looked up his order and found that his receiver is still under warranty. While his order is beyond Crutchfield's 60-day return policy, he can contact Boss at 800-999-1236 for further information about the 3-year warranty on this receiver.

No AM!

Got this installed, good product, but not Kenwood quality. Am/fm cd/DVD and backup camera. Works great.
