Well read the review and totaly disagree there are so much to this unit that i have not even taped into all it can do and as far as carrying it there is a leather padded case that fits it and carrying it is as easy as 1,2,3, but i added two twelves in the trunk and bose speakers inside the car and WOW with the unit it fits well. Cant think of any bad things about the boss stereo i think it is a nice peace of equipment to have and love the bluetooth what a big hands free help. Thank you boss.
