BVCP9700A Car Stereo - Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Double Din, 7 Inch Touchscreen, Bluetooth, No CD DVD Player, AM/FM Radio Receiver

Easily setup and works extremely well for a fraction of the cost of any other CarPlay head unit. Has a lot of features only a few I have setup personally such as connecting a sub to it. The responsiveness is meh when it’s connected wirelessly however when you plug it in it’s lightning fast. The screen quality itself is also quite good and is comparable to any other head unit. Setup perfectly into my 2001 miata

I desperately needed some way to listen to music in my recently bought 2010 Genesis. It had no Bluetooth music and the aux did not work so I was stuck listening to the radio like old times. So I bought this one (I bought an off brand/Chinese one before this one but it did not fit and had to return it). Instantly changed my riding experience. PROS - Wireless or wired Apple CarPlay (I love it so much). - All the features that come with Apple CarPlay. Music, navigation, etc. (I mostly just use it for Spotify). - You now have a good quality double din stereo in your car that’s not stupidly expensive. That’s awesome by itself. - Just looks good and boosts your driving experience. CONS - Has a little bit of half second delay when clicking anything. - No knob to change volume. I seriously did not know that I would hate the + and - buttons for volume adjustment. It’s fine though, I just wished it had a knob. - Not too big of a deal but I’ve had a couple of instances where it just restarts out of no where. Comes back to life in like 7 seconds like nothing happened. - The mic it comes with is kinda trash. You’ll just have to yell at whoever you’re on the call with if your using hands free calling. But that’s all the bad stuff. If you ask me, the pros heavily outweigh the cons. I changed the stereo myself and I recommend to do heavy research before purchasing any stereo. For me, I had to buy like 3 separate things, 2 harnesses and a bezel, to install any stereo. YOU WILL NEED TO CUT WIRES AND CONFECT THEM. It’s not that hard though because the wires the stereo has are color coded and named to make connecting wires easy. 8/10 stereo

Installed this to replace an older model that didn't have Android Auto. Everything works great and the screen has large controls, which make viewing easier. Highly intuitive and easy to hook up. The ability for both front and rear camera's on demand is a plus. It even has the ability to power the camera if you want operation without the reverse lights on. Only one complaint. It has a setting for default volumes for each of the various functions (navigation, phone, radio, stream, etc.). These randomly reset back to zero. Contacted the Boss customer support line and the answer that I got was how to set the volume. Less than supportive. Overall, a very good car radio that performs very well with good visibility on the screen. This is important to me as I have gotten others with font so small it couldn't be read quickly while going down the road.

Good replacement for my older, less powerful Sony head unit. The rear USB cables allow for some custom console phone connections and an additional USB port for loading photos or playing movies. The other port is labeled for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. This newer design forces the installation of a custom single pole single throw toggle switch to simulate the parking brake though. Plenty of YT vids on this though. The old school tap off the negative wire no longer works. The 300+ watts also really makes the sub sound better too. Adding images from a USB drive as wallpapers is a little tricky, as you must rotate the image when reviewing them for the button to select it to be visible, then after a few seconds it will be saved. Images are only visible when using the tuner. Oh, and the button illumination color is NOT changeable on the 9700A model. You only get blue. So far, so good though. November 2025 Update Unit is starting to have random issues where the display is black after starting the vehicle. While sound is still heard, volume controls do not work. Issue is resolved by restarting the vehicle. Still looking for a pattern of failure before seeking warranty service.

Radio works great at first, after a couple weeks while driving, the radio will quit working and the screen goes blank. The reset button does nothing or the radio will not start up when turned on, after checking all wiring, discovered if you completely unplug the radio’s main harness and plug it back in, the radio will reset and work again

This is by far the best CarPlay unit you can get for the money. I use it on all of my cars, and I go through cars a lot. The last car I sold, I unfortunately didn’t have time to remove the old one before the sale. So I bought a new one. I was PLEASANTLY surprised to discover that the unit has been updated to support wireless CarPlay- which the old one did not. This is a great selling point and tremendously adds to the value of the product. I have used other cheaper units and the responsiveness, sound quality, and overall functionality are nothing compared to this unit. The unit does have 2 usb outlets, one on the face, and one extended one to add wherever you want. They are good to have, but frankly unnecessary with the addition of wireless CarPlay. It has power and video inlets for a backup camera and a microphone for hands free phone calls. Perfect for an everyday driver

The radio looks great in my 07 pick up and is definitely an upgrade to what I had. The install was fairly easy and straightforward. It's not an overly expensive radio but it works well, for the most part. My only hesitation with recommending it outright is that there is some kind of issue with messaging and phone calls through apple car play. I've attempted to troubleshoot it with Boss but am still having connectivity issues in that regard. When it works, it works great. When it doesn't, it's a pain because the reason I bought it was for hands free messaging, phone calls, and other features through apple car play. Maybe this is only an issue with my radio, but you should know about it.

Quality head-unit for my 1998 GMC Suburban, very straightforward to install. Only tedious process was wiring, but everything is labeled for you. The capacitive touch screen is responsive and quality, and with the 7 inch display its easy to see whats displayed at the moment. CarPlay stays updated through your phone, I don't have an android so I cant give input there.
