BOSS Audio Systems 625UAB Single DIN Car Stereo with Bluetooth - No CD DVD Player, AM/FM Radio Receiver, Aux Input, USB

This radio plugged in to my 2022 John Deere 5100 factory wiring harness. You will have to buy a antenna adapter separately. Love that the radio is Bluetooth capable in automatically connects to my phone and Spotify. When I purchase this from Amazon I thought I was getting a remote which was in the description but did not. But it's okay

I received this unit a few days ago. The installation was easy. I bought the dash kit for my 2002 Ford Ranger and the wiring harness so I wouldn't have to cut any wires from the factory wiring. The wire colors from the radio connector and the Ford adapter matched up perfectly. I soldered the wires and used heat shrink tubing to make for a neat looking cable. With the right tools the old radio was easily removed from the dash.The dash adapter I bought made the install of the new radio a neat looking setup. I put my music library on a SD card which I also like because if doesn't stick out like a USB drive would, although I do like having the USB connection on the face of the unit. I'm a person that is happy to let my music play randomly so I don't need to fiddle with controls while I'm driving trying to find a particular song. I have almost 800 songs that gives me many hours of listening pleasure. I like the sound of unit from the factory speakers. Changing the source is done easily either from the remote or the radio controls. Songs continue from were they left off when turning the unit back on. FM and AM stations come in crisp and clear. I would say for the price this is an outstanding radio. Time will tell the durability of the unit.Update - 3/12/2014 As other reviewers have stated I too have the problem of the radio not coming on when I start my 2002 Ford Ranger and it won't turn on from the radio buttons. I found that if I start the truck by going to the next key position and wait a couple seconds until the radio comes on then go to the start position I don't seem to have the problem. It also does sometime forget to start a song were it left off and goes to the number one song instead. I have to hit the random button to get it to go back to random playback. Despite these two quirks I still like the radio. It has good sound with my factory installed speakers and I like having the SD card slot on the front. The SD card doesn't stick out or get in the way and a 32 gig card will hold more music than I can even imagine using.

Since cost was a major factor in my car audio choice, I made the mistake of purchasing a Klarheit first (don't do it!), and ended up exchanging it for the Boss 625UAB. It was a little more expensive than the Klarheit, which was why I didn't choose it first--but all I wanted from the start was a way to play MP3s from a USB flash drive in my car. I didn't want to mess with my phone or an MP3 player to do it, either. The Klarheit couldn't manage that simple task.So, after looking over my options, and not wanting to spend too much, I settled on this. I've just installed it, and here's my preliminary review:USB: While it lacks an easy search function, it does at least let me skip from one album (Directory) to the next, so if I have an idea of the general whereabouts of an album on the drive, I can track it down. It accesses the files in the order they were written to the drive. This means that if you copy your whole library at once, alphabetically, you'll have an easier time finding your stuff. If you add a new album, you have to go to the highest numbered files to find it. Having said that, I had no problem actually getting there (something I can't say for the Klarheit). I used the remote to type in the high track number (something like 1600), and quickly found what I was after. Unfortunately, if I don't happen to know where the song is on the flash drive, it's going to take a little hunting to find it. Still, at least navigation isn't awful, and yes, it does display MP3 info, which at least helps in figuring out what directory you're in.Bluetooth Hands Free: I easily connected my phone to the BOSS, and tried a quick call to a friend to test it. She said the connection had a little static and was a bit quiet on her end, but she could hear me clearly enough, and I could hear her well once I turned up the volume on the unit. I placed the call with the phone, and hung up with the button on the BOSS. It worked fine, and I'm pleased to have this feature.Sound Quality: For me, the sound quality seems fine, but I don't have the ear for music that some people do. As far as I can tell, the sound is clear, the volume capabilities are good, and I'm pleased with it.Radio: I used an antenna converter, and hooked up the radio, but haven't found any stations yet. I don't listen to radio, so I actually don't really care, and I'm not sure if the reception problem is due to the converter, the fact I was sitting in my garage, the fact that I just didn't spend much time trying to find a station, or the unit itself (but I doubt the unit is the problem). If I figure it out, I'll let you know...but it's not actually a priority for me. I almost didn't bother hooking it up at all.Display: Basic. Info scrolls across, and MP3 info includes track/artist/album. At night and in the shade, it's easy to read, but in my car at least, it gets a bad glare during the day that makes it very difficult to read unless I'm in the shade.Clock: The clock does not display continually or alternately, as far as I can tell so far. You have to hit the Display button to check the time. A bit of a pain, but not the end of the world. When I have a chance, I'll see if there's a way to change that.SD: I haven't tried it yet.Removable face plate: Haven't tried it yet.Overall impression: This is a very simple unit, with a clean design. It serves my purposes so far, although I do wish I could easily search my music library by artist or album. Since I had originally been looking for just the ability to play MP3s, the Bluetooth Hands Free feature is something I consider a bonus, and I'm glad I decided to return the Klarheit and spend a few extra dollars on the BOSS. Definitely worth the minor cost difference!
