Great product…manufacturer was very helpful in the installation process..first installer said it could not be installed in a Honda van..manufacturer said that it could be done..went to a second installer and he completed it in 2 hours and at a cheaper price..
If you have a professional complete the installation, the manufacturer extends the warrantee from one year to three years…the unit comes in black, but includes the necessary parts to have it be grey or tan. The dvd player sends the signal thru the an FM signal to your radio, so the sound of the dvd player goes thru all the speakers in the radio. Once your child can use headphones, then the signal will go to them, and you then can listen to your radio again!!
Only problem so far is that the remote does not work very easily, but the controls on the front of the unit are very user friendly and easy to get to.
Our daughter loves the dvd player and it keeps her entertained while in the van… I would recommend the Boss DVD player, as it was one third the cost of the dvd player that the car dealer installs and twice the size of the screen..a win..win..

I bought this item from Amazon and had it installed at Best Buy. It has all the options of every other system on the market and at a much better price. Three hours after dropping my van off at best buy, they called to say that it was fully installed, but they weren’t happy with the sound quality and asked me to come take a look. The installer was concerned that you could barely hear it even when the sound was turned all the way up and that there was too much static coming from the car radio. After installing a wire to plug the sound into my AUX port of my car’s radio, the static was gone, but the sound was still too quiet. The installers tried more than once to sell me a unit from the Best Buy store and return the Boss unit. Turns out the unit itself has a volume up and down, turn it up on the unit and then turn the radio back down some – it all evens out. Once we left Best Buy (getting out of their building) the static from the built in wireless FM modulator was gone, the sound was great. The picture is also good. With the matching casing, it looks like it was factory installed. It’s only been 1 day, but SO FAR, SO GOOD.
A+ for Amazon and the Boss unit, but C- for Best Buy.

It arrived on time, and looked good. I took it to the best buy for installation. But they said it’s too heavy and cann’t garanty that car roof won’t sag. It is my brand new car and I didn’t want to mess up anything. So I returned it. Got all my money back except $30 for two way shipping. Then I bought boss11.2″ one and I did installed at best buy. Thoght when return home it didn’t work so ent back to best buy and they fixed it. Overall boss great best buy, 2.

This works great in our van. You can easily see the screen from the second and third row seats. The screen quality is good as well. There wasn’t any problem with viewing the screen during the day or night. It also comes with tan and grey covers as well as black, so it matches any interior and looks like it came with the vehicle. There is a remote also. We are pleased with this player.
