Had nothing but problems with this unit. Volume button doesn't work half the time, preset buttons do not work right. Won't eject cds all the time. I have to use the remote to change the stations. Doesn't get very good reception. Maybe just got a bad unit but I would not purchase this.

GREAT BARGIN

This replaced my factory 6 disk changer in my 2002 Nissan Xterra . The sound was way better than the factory, and it was a lot louder. The only thing I did not like was that the remote was only good inside of the SUV. The range was awful. If i want a remote that you would be able to use past your car doors then this one is not for you.the install was fast and easy. I like that fact the the clock shows either while its on or off.

Good Unit

I Bought this headunit thru another site, I installed it earlier today in my '03 Chevy S10 the install went ok it didn't fit perfectly but I made it work.

-The Good-
Great sound
Lots of power
Good Looks
Easy to use
a lot of Functions
USB Input
3.5MM Jack Input
SD Card Input

-The Bad-
CD's take awhile to load
You cant see the clock wen a cd is in
SD Card slot is hard to acess behind the detachable face

-Time will tell-
If it lasts but my initial impression is that this unit is well built and if wired properly should last...

Overall im happy with the headunit thus far and would recemend it to people who want a nice upgrade over the stock unit in there vehicle weather looking for more power for your speakers or wanting to add a sub this unit seems to fit the bill

Overall i gave it 4 of 5 i would have given 5 but it wasent to a perfect fit as stated above. Hope helps You decide to buy or pass on this product.

Got the job done

I originally ordered this device to replace a faulty CD player and tape deck that originally came with my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. For a replacement radio, it did what it had to do. I wouldn't say that it is overall top of the line or anything, but coming from a pair of head units that both went faulty, I'll consider that a plus. Having the aux jack and USB hookup for the iPod came in handy as well, and the overall installation wasn't bad either.

Satellie radio would've been nice, but you get what you pay for. And for the bright blue LED, well... thats what they provide the orange wires for on the wiring kit... so you can LOWER it with your dimmer that comes preinstalled in the car. People should learn how to read and know what they're talking about before making ridiculous comments on here.

Great Stereo

The Boss 822 UA is great double din radio that really has all the bells and whistles you are looking for. From CD to Sim card as well as USB can be played in this unit. Very easy to install by using the car kits and wiring harness. It will look professionally done. Can this be hooked up to an amp system? Yes, you can with the easy to follow directions. The remote makes it easy to change volume and stations with minimal eye contact. I would Highly recommend this for those looking to replace their existing poor performance radio or upgrade it.

Excellent sound, only benefit

The sound that I get from this unit is the only positive part of my whole experience. The time it takes to read CD's, the time it skips mp3 files, the limitation on the SD card memory size, and the glaring illumination at night (which cannot be adjusted) are all factors that make me regret the purchase. Boss should get their act together and offer a less crappy product.

Good Deal

Great stereo for the Expedition (note that with the earlier model Expedition Eddie Bauer some modification to the dash was required - the is not visible, just had to remove some of the plastic).
Works perfectly, and has great sound!

Great product and service

Very nice product only thing I don't like about it is the backlight on the screen is so bright at night it will blind you while trying to drive. I usually just turn the radio off while driving at night.
