BOSS Audio Systems BCP62 Car Stereo – Apple CarPlay, Double Din, 6.2 Inch Capacitive Touchscreen, Bluetooth, No CD DVD Player, AM/FM Radio Receiver, USB

Pros outweigh the cons. Good double din stereo from a reputable brand
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

Great upgrade to my 2004 Toyota Camry
This has been a fantastic upgrade for my aging Toyota Camry (2004). I can now use Apple Car Play (note: wired only) to use maps like a 21st-century driver right on my dash, listen to my podcasts through the car speakers, and talk to Siri. Nice!For the money, this unit does everything it should and is a great value. It even came with an external corded microphone that you can stick onto your dash somewhere for communication with Siri. I put it right next to my instrument display and it works super well.I knock a star off because the screen feels maybe a little lower-res than I was expecting, and sometimes the graphics even look a little “jpeggy,” as though they were compressed on the way from the phone to the device. It’s most obvious in icons that have large expanses of one color. If this were a nicer car and I were picky about that, I might consider shelling out a little more for a better display and wireless CarPlay. But for my drive-into-the-mountains hiking/adventure car, it is absolutely adequate and does everything I needed for a fair price.Some things I learned after my purchase that I wish I had known ahead of time:- I needed to buy a wiring harness to connect it to my car’s wiring and a bezel to make it look correct in the dashboard, but these were both available on Amazon and the manufacturer helped me pick the right ones. (For me, it was Metra 70-1761 and Metra 99-8231 respectively, just as reference for what kind of additional parts you would likely need.)- You’ll need some way to connect the bare wire ends on the radio to the wiring harness, such a crimp kit. I bought some heat-activated self-soldering connectors at a local electronics store and they worked great.- The CarPlay connectivity is WIRED ONLY, and the connection is to the BACK of the unit, so you’ll need to route the wire through the dashboard to where you want to use it. This was my first time doing anything like that and there was a slight learning curve, but YouTube helped and but it was not nearly as bad as I thought. The dashboard on my Toyota Camry was designed to come apart remarkably easily and I was able to route the USB cable to a convenient location at the front of my center console. (Obviously, every car is different, so your mileage may vary.)- Same deal for the microphone. It connects at the BACK of the unit. I routed the cord out at the side of my center air vents and attached it to the dash right there with the provided double-sided tape. It definitely doesn’t look factory-installed, but it does look organized and is very functional there.Long story short: If you’re installing this yourself, this is not a quick swap-it-out replacement. You’ll need to budget an afternoon and you might need some extra tools for the wiring. But it’s also not that hard once you understand what you need to do, and once you’ve done it one time, you’ll be much more confident if you ever need to do it again.

i bought this headunit for my 2011 golf.the headunit itself is great, apple car play is wired and wireless, it’s got the option for 2 cameras (front and back), great sound, it’s fast for input (no lagging when you press a button) etc. a lot of great things i could say.to keep it short, if you’re putting this headunit or any headunit similar to this in your VW, you’ll need to supply an external ignition source, or else the radio won’t turn off when you turn off your car, and there is no way to turn off the radio from the actual radio itself. you’ll need to wire into something else. this is where i’ve been having trouble. i’ve tried piggybacking off some fuses in the fuse box and ive had no luck. i’ve read a lot of articles saying you need to wire into the 12v cigarette lighter, which is what i’ll try next.i’ll update if anything changes.UPDATE :i’ve fixed the issue, the piggyback worked. and i’ve been using it the last couple months, and genuinely for the price, 5 stars. i haven’t even used all of its capabilities (haven’t hooked up any cameras to it, it has 2 input for cameras !!) apple carplay is great, no issues! i love it 🙂 definitely recommend
