3.0 out of 5 stars Tons of features, but some concerns, March 27, 2008
This review is from: Boss Audio BV7980 In Dash DVD/CD/MP3 Receiver w/ 4.3" Widescreen Monitor (Electronics)
Certainly a cool looking and feature-filled unit. The front panel LCD is big enough to serve as an "extra" screen. The first one I got stopped reading disks after a week. The second one reads discs great (even after the kids jammed two DVDs in at the same time!), but the remote has stopped working and many of the adjustments can only be done through the remote.

The problem, however, seems to be overheating. For the first 1/2-hour or so it plays flawlessly, not even affected by constant terrible roads. After that, the movie starts freezing for a few seconds every few seconds. This annoys the kids and makes an hour film into a 2-hour experience. I will rework my install and maybe add a cooling fan, I don't know what else the problem could be.

A minor annoyance is that the mechanism holding the front panel on rattles if you drive with the screen angled at all. Closed and fully open are fine.

As a side note, in-car TV is cool, but aren't analog broadcasts all going away soon?
