" ... Never works thr bottons of volume . ... "
" ... This stereo played well but for only three weeks. ... "
" ... after using the unit I discovered that 1- the volume knob is useless because instead of turning up the volume ... "
" ... 3 weeks later the volume knob started going out. ... "
" ... The volume knob is too close to the edge, so if it’s inset into the dash, you can’t give the knob a full turn. ... The volume knob also has a very loose cheap-like feel to it. ... If you turn it too fast (like when your song comes on) it will dial the volume up only 2 and then down 3. ... So you’ll have to concentrate on turning the volume up slowly and precisely to get the volume up. ... The equalizer is comprised of touch only sliders. ... "
" ... Poor sound, piece of crap ... "
" ... The sound is worse than the factory radio even with new boss speakers too. ... "
" ... The unit comes on like it's normal however I get no audio for about 5 minutes before it actually plays. ... Sometimes the vehicle has to switch on and off before I get any audio. ... "

" ... It is easy to install and it looks good on the car. ... "
" ... Most of the wiring was straight forward. ... The features are largely intuitive. ... The on-screen controls to hang up or mute a call are large and easy to use. ... "

" ... It displays random lines of color intermittently and then goes back to its regular display. ... "
" ... I just heard a wired static sound and the next thing I know the screen went blank. ... "
" ... Bv9358b touch screen audio system screen is completely black no picture at all ... "
" ... Product likes to over heat if you have the screen on for too long! ... "
" ... I ordered this and had it installed in October, it hasn’t even been in my car a year and the touch screen is black and will not turn on. ... "
" ... It's more like a "SMASH" (push extremely hard) screen just to get it to do anything. ... "
" ... The car has to be in park to play DVDs which barely loads before it shuts off and goes to the phone screen. ... In fact thats why I can only play Bluetooth, because no matter what I try to do it kicks me back to the phone screen even when no phone is connected. ... The screen is unclear. ... "
" ... I installed this stereo just 2 months ago and the screen no longer displays correctly. ... Upon starting the stereo or resetting it, it will display the Boss logo and warning screen, but after the warning screen goes away the only thing that displays properly is the volume level when you change the volume. ... The rest of the time the screen is black with a few pixels lit up. ... "

" ... 2- the touch screen not responding in every touch ... "
" ... The touch screen still works, but having only used the stereo for 2 months, I have no idea what I’m pressing when I touch the screen. ... "
" ... Touch screen does its own thing. ... "
" ... The screen is not that good, it's not very responsive to touch, the Bluetooth is crap especially when making a call, the quality of the sound is so bad I never used the feature again after a few trials. ... "

" ... I'm giving this a one star because I never received the item must have been lost in the mail or stolen and I never reordered the item and didn't want to wait to reorder so went out and bought one just like it at the store for around the same price and it works great so I'm sure this one will work great as well ...

" ... Wired it to the reverse light and then to the reverse wire on the unit. ... "
" ... This simple one is the "Parking brake" wire on this radio's wiring harness. ... I have no idea why I would ever do so, but I didn't want to wire it to the parking brake. ... The cable with the RCA connector and extra red wire is both the power for the backup camera, and the signal to the radio to let it know when the vehicle is in reverse. ... I needed to find the correct wiring diagram for the ignition switch wiring on this vehicle. ... Then, re-connect the wiring harness (use the blue lever to secure the two parts back into position) and route your wire up to the radio, using some zip ties to secure it to some rigid objects in order to prevent it from getting caught in the accelerator linkage, or any other moving parts. ...
