Boss 755DBI Solid State MP3 Receiver with Built-In iPod Docking Station is a great system!!!! Standard self installation (30 -40 minutes)...
Reads iPod immediately (doesn't take any time to read information before starts playing). U can unplug iPod at any time you want.
Card reader works like a charm as well!!! Works also with large cards (i use 16Gb). Doesn't take any time to read card info before it starts playing!!!
AUX and mini USB also work without any problems. radio comes with a USB cord.
Blue-tooth works great! And it is very easy to switch from blue-tooth option to hand phone by just pressing the (>>)"next" button
I just love it!!!! it suits me well!!!
I do recomend it!!!!
A friend of mine already bought one after playing with my radio!!! |
Excellent bargain stereo

Installed a few weeks ago into an '02 Sprinter, replacing a Sound 30 without aux in. For about $100, does everything I wanted:
* Charge and play iPod touch- without any cords!
* Front-mounted aux in for laptop or other MP3 players
* Simple controls
* Bluetooth
The negative points in the other reviews are true:
* Bluetooth audio isn't the best- but you can always pass it back to the handset
* Equalizer on LCD is always on and largely useless
* iPOD tray comes out easily- but the iPOD Touch insert snaps in so it's always out anyway
* Clock won't stay on display when playing radio or other input
Still, these are minor issues to deal with for the price. I've put a 1000 miles on the vehicle since installation, $100 well spent. |
Looks and sounds great...bluetooth mic a little shaky

This deck installed beautifully in my 99 Jetta. With an iPod touch/iPhone it looks like a deck with a custom display. Works and sounds amazing but the bluetooth function is sub-par. Everyone I talk to says I sound very far away which I know is annoying to listen to. Other than that it's a step towards the non-CD players in cars. highly recommended.

Not bad in a few ways, bu some inexplicable flaws.

I bought this radio as a replacement for the stock unit in my Miata. The stock radio burned out and I pretty much just wanted something with an aux in and a USB port. This isn't a bad radio. It is inexpensive and it has those features. It's easy to use, except for tuning FM (a low priority feature for me since I listen to my own music.) The USB port happily charges my music player, which means I don't have to worry about running out of power on a long trip.
That said, it feels very cheaply made. The iPod dock is an annoying feature, as it is easy to pop it out accidentally. Unfortunately I didn't realize the USB port is a mini USB port. While a lot of cellphones use a miniusb port to charge nowadays, I don't actually have a miniusbto miniusb cable to check to see if my phone will charge. Most phones are picky about cables and come with a standard USB to mini cable which works. Most music players also come with a proprietary to standard USB cable. A standard sized port would be much more useful. Oddly, BOSS seems to realize this as they packed in a minusb male to standard female cable. It's bizzarre they didn't simply design it with a USB-A port in the first place. Second, and this is the big problem I have with the unit, while most of the installation consists of relatively straightforward wiring of a new connector in, which is no problem, mounting the unit is. There's no provision for mounting it. As in, none. There's a thin metal strap you can bend to support the back end of the unit but there's no way to mount the thing into any kind of frame. The manual instructs you to select screw holes on the side of the unit that match up with holes in your factory mounting frame, but there are no holes on the side of the unit. I'm still trying to sort out exactly how I'm going to attach the thing to my car, which is an entirely unnecessary headache which could have been remedied had the manufacturer bothered to simply drill the holes into the casing that the manual describes.

A truly modern car stereo

EDITED REVIEW: It broke in less than a month. Unit's power amp broke in the middle of a drive. To get it fixed you have to pay to ship it to them and to ship it back - that's $30 in shipping alone. Plus the hassle of getting a money order to send with the radio. Can't they charge a credit card? So based on that I wouldn't recommend this item. But my original review follows.
Leave your CDs in the dust bin! We don't use them anymore, so this was the perfect car stereo upgrade for us.
The best feature of this stereo is the SDHC card slot. We have a card loaded up with music and Podcasts and just leave it in the car. In fact, we rarely bother to take the iPod with us. The second best feature of this stereo is that at first glance it looks like a cheap AM/FM replacement stereo. I'm hoping this prevents break-ins. After all, replacing a window costs a lot more than buying a new car stereo. The controls are simple and logically laid out. For the price this thing rocks!
Some Negatives: It does feel a little cheap. The docking system is a little awkward, if you don't want the dock out all the time, you have to remove a little plastic dock adapter and store it somewhere. Also it has to be installed a little proud of your dashboard to be able to attach the dock adapter. Mini-USB as a receptor doesn't make any sense and requires the special supplied cable(just don't lose it). LED display could have more characters to make navigation easier. The fake spectrum analyzer display is a bit annoying. But these are minor quibbles. All in all we are quite pleased with it.
