Great deal from Amazon. (270 USD) with Amazon prime shipping. A lot cheaper compared with the other expensive ones in this tough economy.
Pros:
-----
This one is a new version, March 2009 release.
1. In-Built Bluetooth works fine and plays music directly from Iphone without having to connect any wires to it. No hissing nor static noise in the back ground. Audio from Bluetooth is crystal clear.
2. Rear view camera(bought a 40 USD camera from Amazon and hooked it up by myself), DVD player, FM(16 presets), all works as advertised.
3. Cheaper (270 USD) when compared to Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD with Blue tooth which comes to atleast 420 USD.(with the steering wheel interface)
4. I got Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD (just for comparison) and this unit and tried both of them in my Honda Pilot to check how it works and did not see any difference in quality.
5. Bought a soldering Iron(15 USD) and soldered all the wires by myself. (saved 60 USD in installation charges).Instruction manual provided is more than sufficient to do it.
6. Prompt customer support via email when you register in their website.
I hope the quality of this product lasts for a long time.
Minor tweaks
------------
1. Connected the Dimmer to the parking brake to make the DVD play in the front panel as well.
2. Had to connect the rear view camera trigger wire to the back up light system.
3. Need to connect the rear view camera video output to the CAM input.
Cons:
-----
1. 4 star rating because it does not have a steering wheel control Interface but to compensate for it they provide a wireless remote control.
2. Does not support SDHC or USB memory stick more than 2 GB.

2013 Update, third review: My unit is broken... First the motorized screen went completely wonky in 2012 and would randomly move up and down randomly. Sent Customer Service an email. Was told they couldn't help me, that I need to call the support line. Why have an email for support if I have to call? So I called, got put on hold, then disconnected. It could have been my cell phone, I don't know. Ok fine, I called back and sat on hold for over 20 minutes before I just hung up. Eventually the screen just got stuck in the loading position. It won't go up or down. Then months later the sound just started randomly cutting in and out. Finally in late 2012 it just died completely. No sound at all. Troubleshooted it myself, check connections with Ohms meter, finally called customer service while I was off during the holidays. Sat on hold again. Hung up. I'm looking for a new head unit now from any company other than Boss. I don't even want to mess with the awful interface, numerous issues, and absolutely horrible tech support/customer service...
CURRENT BOTTOM LINE: This unit is awful and unreliable. Stay away. Leaving up the old review just as a reference. I really wanted to like this unit. Now I'm just shopping for a different one.
(this review was previously a 4 star and a 5 star, now it is a 0.1 out of 5)
Previous BOTTOM LINE: If you have the money to buy one of the name brand $600 DVD/Bluetooth units, then buy one of those because their interface screen graphics are much nicer. If that's not an issue for you, or if spending over $600 for a head unit is, then consider this head unit.
This is my second review as the first unit came to me and turned on but did not play sound. Tech support was impossible to get ahold of the first time around. Props to Amazon for extremely speedy delivery of both the first and second replacement unit. Now, after receiving the replacement unit and installing it, the same problem occurred and it would not play sound. So I called tech support and surprisingly got right through this time. However the tech did not help and offered little support other than maybe there is a short in your vehicle or a blown fuse. After another hour of troubleshooting it myself I decided to swap the first unit's wiring harness with the new wiring harness. Problem solved! Turns out the issue with the first unit was a short somewhere in the wiring connector, which also affected the second unit because I originally left the first harness connected. Problem fixed by dumb luck and hours of frustration trying everything, not by tech support. For the speedy delivery of first & replacement unit, Amazon gets 5 stars. For lack of any help, Tech support gets 0/5 stars.
Contrary to what other reviews have said the unit DOES have a night time dimming function. Press and hold Mute button and the screen goes black. Perfect for night driving. When you want it back on to change a song or whatever, just simply tap the screen anywhere and it turns right back on. Furthermore the screen has contrast, color, brightness settings. You can turn the brightness almost completely off if you want to in about 2 seconds. tap screen, brings up display icons, tap Tools icon, tap Video icon, hold down Brightness adjustment. Simple.
Most everything can be done by remote, so if youre worried about safety of driving while changing songs, learn how to use the remote. Easy fix.
Interface graphics are cheesy like a 90s DOS program. Either get over it (I did considering this unit does everything it claims to, SD, USB, Auxilary, DVD/R, MP3, MP4, VCD, Bluetooth for hands free cell phone) or turn off the screen by holding the Mute button and use the remote or turn the screen back on to change songs or whatever and then shut it off.
Loading times are as advertised in other reviews, about 4-6 seconds for a video DVD, less for a CD. Switching sources take 2-4 seconds. Does seem like forever waiting 6 seconds for the DVD to load, but once it does load it skips scenes and/or tracks quickly.
The sound quality beats my old Aiwa top-of-line CD player (10 years ago), and rivals my previous Alpine & Kenwood head units. Also beats a previous Pioneer head unit I had for a few weeks in sound quality hands down, which is why I got rid of that one. I was skeptical buying a Boss brand head unit specifically because of sound quality, but I'm glad I bought it. Forget what some of the others have said, this thing beats any comparable <$200 CD or DVD head unit on the market. Yes even a $200 Sony or JVC.
I have two 6.5" Lanzar MAXP64 subwoofers (not co-axial speakers) in my doors powered by this unit, and two Pioneer 4x6" co-axials in the stock rear pillars with Stinger SGJ91 300Hz bass blockers also powered by this unit and it sounds fantastic. Not breaking any records at the DB Drags, but the head unit puts out enough power for the MAXP64's to shake the mirrors, and with the bass blockers on the co-axials it does it VERY clearly. Very satisfied with the power and clarity with this head unit. I had originally planned to put an amp on the subs and add another pair of co-axials to be powered by the head unit, but I don't need to now because it already sounds great, any more power would be overkill for what I want my radio to do.
Other problems some of the 1* reviews have mentioned are, after experiencing my own problem, possibly caused by an easily replaceable faulty wiring harness. Like not working and having to turn the car on and off, sounds like it could be a similar harness issue like mine had. Then again, it could be a quality of build issue, I don't know for sure, but I'm skeptical after finding a problem first hand with the harness.
This unit is deeper than standard oem double-din radios, meaning stock radios, however this is common of most aftermarket double-din units. In my Silverado I had to remove part of a plastic bracket in the dash before it would fit. 2 minutes with a dremmel and problem solved. If you have a true double-din opening, this unit will fit, but MIGHT require some DIY ingenuity.
Another reviewer said "Nothing works... CDs wont load..." there are two screws on top and two tags attached that CLEARLY state that this unit won't work until these "transit" screws are removed. Fairly straight forward issue, simply use a phillips screw driver and turn the screws to the left until they aren't attached to the unit anymore. "trim ring get in the way (of) the folding down screen" although the trim ring is a tight fit, it fits mine perfectly and is a non-issue. I think he/she put it on upside down, hence it isn't locked into the unit correctly and gets in the way. Like I said, for me this is not an issue as mine fits perfectly.
As far as the "DVD wont show picture" issues people have had... the pink wire needs to be connected to the parking brake, which allows the unit to only be used in park and not while driving. Extremely easy to by-pass. The parking brake wire, when activated by the parking brake, is essentially just a ground wire. Get a little bit creative and do the math. In order to work all the time, a certain wire needs to be grounded... figure it out. Simple.
All in all the bottom line is this: If you have the money to buy one of the name brand $600 DVD/Bluetooth units, then buy one of those because their interface screen graphics are much nicer. If that's not an issue for you, or if spending $600+ is, then consider this head unit. Great sound quality, good power to speakers from head unit, bluetooth hands-free calling, DVD picture quality is good, lots of reasons to buy this unit. Glad I did.

I looked for quite a while to find a reasonable priced double din chassis radio replacement for my work van. This unit had the most features for the cheapest price. It has performed fair. The interface is a little cheesy and it is slow to respond. I would like to reserve the deepest depths of hell for whoever put the auto re-memerize your radio station buttons on the main radio screen. A useless feature that is by no means created by or exclusive to Boss. Anyway, other than that the unit performs fair. It's slow to switch from usb to radio, or to bluetooth. Considering the price of around $200 it's OK, just OK. In retrospect I wish I had spend around $500 and installed a unit with a better interface and a little smoother operation.
I did have some wiring harness issues however the tech support at Boss was excellent. If you have a problem with the unit don't hesitate to call support. Check the depth on your dash first, this unit requires extra room if your using the RCA connections on the back for audio video out or camera video in.
In all, don't think your getting a $500+ unit for cheap. It's worth about $200. If you have reasonable expectations this unit will meet them.
