BOSS Audio Systems 508UAB Car Stereo - Single Din, Bluetooth, CD Player, AM/FM Radio Receiver, Aux-in, USB, Built-in Microphone

This Stereo/CD player is a great unit. The display lights are bright, the sound is crystal clear even with my 24 year old speakers in the truck. The Blue tooth feature is awesome now I can answer the phone with just a push of a button. The USB is and added feature, it charges my phone and you could play your own music from a downloaded USB. The wiring hook up was very simple to install, with plug in sockets and color coded wires letting you know which ones are for the speakers. Will be buying a second unit for my camper.

This is a great Bluetooth CD stereo with excellent power output. Thank you!

Bought and received in less than three days.I installed this in my 2002 Dodge Dakota SLT. The truck's aftermarket radio died so I reused the frame and harness adapter. Install is pretty straight forward. Match wire color to wire color for the radio harness to the aftermarket radio harness adapter. The sound in good (and may be better than it was before with the old JVC). The bluetooth works well and the quality is good. Haven't had issues with the bluetooth like other reviews.After wiring to the harness I noticed that the radio didn't turn off when the ignition was off. I double checked that I had the "constant" power (yellow wire, provides constant power so setting aren't lost) and the "ignition" power (red wire, provides power when the ignition is on) were correct, they were. I was pretty frustrated because the radio should turn completely off when the ignition was off. Spent probably too much time playing around with it and searching the internet to figure out what was wrong.So I finally gave up and decided it would never completely turn off. With the radio in the power off position (radio clock is still on dimly) I removed the fuse for the radio and checked the power draw from the fuse socket with a voltmeter. I couldn't readily discern a power draw and decided that it wouldn't kill my battery (probably couldn't get a reading because my voltmeter is really crappy). Besides, if I went camping or something and didn't want the chance of it killing my battery I could just remove the fuse to kill it completely.Fast forward about a week, and the radio has decided to turn off when the ignition is off. Really weird because I didn't do anything to fix it. Maybe a relay was acting up? No idea but it functions correctly now.One more thing. Really bright screen and buttons. Very nice during the day but if you're driving a dark moonless night it gets really annoying. Like really annoying (hence the 4 stars). Anyone know how to wire the "dimmer" power (orange wire) into a radio that isn't equipped to receive it?Anyway, good radio for the price. Would recommend it .*UPDATE* The issue with the radio being on continually has returned...

great awesome way better than my stock stereo

No, it most definitely did not meet my expectations. The exact opposite would be the case. Actually, I am way beyond disappointed. First, I ordered the unit and it arrived exactly on time, however no update was ever made to the tracking number so I was not able to track when it would arrive. Second, I installed the unit it 100% correctly according to the directions. The unit worked perfect for about a 1/2 hour and then out of nowhere no audio output was ever heard again. So, I contacted BOSS' tech support and their tech guy basically told me that the unit was defective and to contact Amazon for a replacement or refund. He also said that it was most likely a blown resistor as they had experienced this issue with other several of these units. I went online and requested a replacement from Amazon without issue. But again, there was never an update to the tracking number so I was not able to track when the replacement would arrive. It did arrive arrive on the day they said, however. Since the replacement unit was the exact same as the original, I was able to connect it to the original wiring harnesses. This time the replacement never produced any audio at all. This particular unit has a display on the front which serves as a VU meter to let you know it is producing an audio signal. This display, on both units, flashed with the beat of whatever song was playing but no sound was coming out of the speakers. I did detect, on the replacement unit, the smell of burnt electronic components. I've worked around audio equipment my whole life so I recognize that odor quite well. Needless to say, I am disappointed beyond words. In addition, my van has been in total disarray for what seems like an eternity because I can't put it back together with no unit to mount in the dashboard. This time I won't be asking for another replacement. I will only get a full refund and find a unit that works as it's supposed to work. The thing that attracted me to this unit was its price. But, as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for!" Lesson learned, the hard way!

This was decently priced stereo replacement for my old car with old school and modern applications. Since I already was upgrading most of my old speaker/stereo set up in my old car might as well update the single din stereo. This worked perfectly. And can't beat the price.
