Review by S. Yager "wanderingfools" : Lots of bells and whistles for a reasonable price!

I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to do so in order to better reflect the true value and qualities of this deck. I have this deck installed on my skoolie RV conversion. The BV997 is a great piece of car video/audio goodness for a reasonable price that reflects its status as slightly outdated. In other words for those looking to upgrade their current stereo without breaking the pocketbook this is a heck of a deal. Love the ID3 tag display (my last one didn't have it) which pops up the info on all my self burned mp3 cds. The touchpanel picture is comparable to an older netbook and very responsive to touch handling the controls. It will of course get smudgy so I keep a micro fiber cloth and lcd screen spray handy to keep it looking top notch. The AUX input is on the front panel which is where your iPod (or any other player with a headphone jack)can plug in. It works great however keep in mind that the deck itself will NOT control your player. Personally I prefer this since it gives me greater flexibility in what is compatible and I like having the familiar player controls vs a deck that doesn't fully support it and takes flipping thru tons of menus to get the song/artist I want. The SD card is an interesting touch that I occasionally utilize to look through camera photos instead of trying to see it with the tiny 2" lcd screen on the camera itself! The USB port is easily accessible and works great when you pop a flash drive filled with music. I have not yet used the rear camera input but am greatly looking forward to wiring that up and have been told by another who has this exact deck that it works like a charm and was very intuitive hooking up. The power and expandability is where the BV997 really shines. The 85 watt 4 channel starting point sounds great but utilizing the front/rear and subwoofer outputs allowed me to expand the speaker system down the length of the skoolie easily. Added an amp to boost the power and it is an amazing sound that gets many compliments from people who think I shelled out big bucks for system. The remote is a nice addition that comes in handy controlling the stereo while sitting in the back. Its features go way beyond your basic source/volumes. The buttons are a little small and occasionally I do fat-finger things but people with smaller fingers don't seem to have that issue. The mounting hardware provided likely would work fine for a standard car upgrade - for my use I had to do a little retro fitting with extra screws and bracket that were easily (and cheaply) obtained by popping into a local stereo installer and picking up some of his leftovers. The user manual makes self installation by someone who has a little experience with stereo install a breeze. In summary, this isn't a top of the line version but for those who want great bang for your buck, a whole lot of handy features, and an excellent overall car stereo the BV997 deserves your attention.

Review by Sandman : Works as advertised, easy setup, nice item!

This in-dash DVD player works exactly as advertised. The best price is the price, this was hte most reasonably priced system that I could find. The card reader, AUX input, touchscreen - are all features which one wouldn't expect at this price. Set-up is intuitive and easy. I'm not good at setting up electronic devices, but this was easy even for me. Overall a great item, definitely recommended.

Review by KushMaster5 : Wheres the Subwoofer EQ. levels !?!

Love the product..first time having a dvd in-dash in my 93'Mark VIII so i am thrilled! the fact that it comes stock with great JBL audio/stereo system is great and ever since installing 2 subwoofers in the trunk as well as a previous deck the sound system pounded! With this Boss Audio deck however you cannot adjust the subwoofer levels only your car speakers may be leveled out with treble or bass. therefore my subs in the back bump only with certain "bass heavy" songs. Unlike my previous deck which had an easily accessable subwoofer level adjuster which was just a click of a button on the normal deck adjusting was a breeze and i could blow my passengers ear drums out..which they enjoyed!! ha. With all the options this new Boss Audio 7"in-dash lcd deck has with its bells and whistles how could they leave out such an important component...subwoofer bass level adjusting buttons..?? i am at a loss. I have gone over the manual time and time again and have tinkered with every option on the actual in-dash itself for hours... Can anyone prove me wrong? am i just missing something in front of my face? has the world gone mad? Wheres my bass? paid good money and love the product but please..no subwoofer adjusters. loss of 2 stars in my eyes. that is until maybe someone, somewhere knows whats up and makes me look foolish for even writing this. please help. thanks boss audio for your great dvd moniter and 30 preset radio stations and usp,aux,SMD card ports but no thanks for no subwoofer adjusters. 2 stars down. -as always thank you amazon for delivering my product in less than 24 hours to my door your awesome.
