Very nice and attractive looking receiver. The sound in comparison to the stock receiver from my 2005 Chevy Silverado is brilliant. Definitely a noted improvement there. The backlight is (as mentioned by someone else) a little bright, and there is no built-in way to dim it. I used a leftover piece of window tint to cover the display. This effectively dimmed it but left it quite readable. Getting into the "menu" on this thing can be a bit confusing at first, but once you figure it out, it's simple. I like that there were adjustments for midrange as well as bass and treble. You can also control the contrast of the display (this helps if you plan to tint the display like I did). I love the remote also, my last truck had a remote for the stereo, that spoiled me. The only minor negative I can come up with is the very small and very smooth volume and tuning knobs. Someone else mentioned this as well, and I must agree. If they protruded just a BIT more from the face, it might be ok, but this is just a minor detail for me since I mostly use the remote to control these items. Overall, for the price, you can't go wrong with this head unit. It sounds great, looks great, and was a snap to install.

Installed in my KIA Optima with no problems and looks like a factory installation. Love the multiple options, just finished a 3 thousand mile trip and used the SD card to listen to Books on CD. It was great not to have to change CD's. The BlueTooth worked great but the answering volume was a bit high. I think there is a way to adjust that but I haven't taken the time to find it yet. Haven't used the IPOD connection. USB does work fine. For the price, I don't think you can beat this unit. I would be glad to recommend to friends and family

Boss 865DBI Car Audio System is a great product. I'm very pleased using it. Many friends have bought one. There is only one feature that it is not working properly, phone volume for answering it can't be set in MENU Options. But not big deal!!!

I have been very happy with this head unit. Puts out great power and runs my component speakers great. The bluetooth works awesome to. I don't get many complaints about sound on the phone, even on the freeway at 70 mph. Easy to set up to. The only complaint I have is sometimes it won't turn on when it's really cold out, but once the cab warms up it comes on. Even knowing that, I would still buy this again.

First things first, I am a very tough critic on tuners. being a ham radio operator and a long distance commuter, (170 miles a day) i demand a lot out of my tuners and receivers. the Boss does an admirable job of receiving AM and FM signals from distant stations even in the presence of RF generated by my ham equipment as well as the emi generated by my 1985 pontiac Fiero. The cd player has also done very good as well. I can't speak for the I-pod feature as i don't use this feature. but i will say that for your dollar, you should be very happy with this unit. The only reason i gave it only 4 stars in durability is that occasionally, the display will freak out and not respond as expected. This may be a result of the enviroment i subject it to, (high wind, lots of blowing sand/dust) so far, a Q-tip will clean the contact points and it works as intended. Overview- a great unit for the money, it must be, as I bought two of them.
