Bought a car with this unit already in it. By far the best sounding unit I’ve ever had without having to add a bass cannon. I love bass, and this unit can drive stock speakers to their full potential. I’m seriously considering getting another unit for my wife’s suv.
Bought it and installed it. Head unit is easy, I tried to install the camera over the weekend and the instructions are little to none. If you have never installed a back up camera, I suggest waiting until tech support is standing by. Now I know how to do it and it is easy. The head unit is simple to operate and sounds great. The back up camera is also very nice. The whole package for little money! Working with CF is awesome!
John I am inquiring about the backup camera because that’s what standing between me and buying this product. Did you have to connect the radio to a reverse wire in your car for the camera to know you were backing up or did the system know automatically you were backing up?
Installing mine on a 2008 F-150 XLT. I have a few notes to share: 1. Camera: I use the camera came with the package for front instead of back and purchase a lift gate handle camera for the back. Instead of hooking to 12V power of the truck light, I sourced the power directly from the head unit itself. There were two 12V wired for front and rear camera. For the camera that came with this Boss set, I hooked up the red cable (which is normally hooked up to the truck light power source) to the red cable next to the AV plug. The AV Video plug end that connects to the camera input on the head unit also had a little red wire next to it. I wired this wire to one of 12V front/rear camera wires coming out off the head unit. So, same approach for both front and rear cameras. I did not hook the reverse signal wire to the truck at all. The cons of this approach is the unit does not automatically know when the truck is in reverse drive. So, to see the camera video, I have to click on it on the screen. Remember to go into settings to turn on the camera power for the front, or back, or both in order to have the 12V power. One complain is for the Metra mounting kit. I have to saw off the mounting hooks in the back of the brackets to be able to slide the head in. Also, the frame was not big enough to fit the open. I can still behind of the dash from an angle view.
Just installed one on my brother's 2010 rav4 last weekend. Only complaint he has is when he shifts from reverse to drive, the radio goes back to the home screen instead of back to Android auto. Is there anything that can be done about this? It's a very small issue and he's not too concerned about it, but it's also what lead me to this video.
I could not find a setting mentioned in the manual to adjust this and suspect it may be the normal operation of the receiver. If you purchased it from us, we give lifetime technical support with the purchase and suggest calling them before calling it done. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice.
@@1eb I wouldn't say too late. He still has the car, he may or may not have found this by now but I will pass along the information! Thank you very much.
@matthewbrayton8166 Hoping somehow you read this late response. I recently did this install for a family member (brother as well), and this was driving me crazy more than it was him. There is a firmware update that fixes this issue I am happy to say, but it is not listed on the product support/product profile page on the Boss website. I only found out about it by calling them and asking about it, and they emailed me the URL. I tried posting it in the comments field here but no luck. I really hope this helps, and you end up seeing this!
I found a software update on the Boss Audio site but there arent any instructions that I can find on how to do the update... is it done through USB or SD... does the medium need to be formatted NTSF or FAT-32?
I had a friend install this into my 2010 Honda CRV-LX and I love it. My only issue is that he said that my vehicle didn't have the correct wiring to allow for the rearview camera to be automatically turned on when I shift into reverse. If I am on a phone call, I can't switch to the rearview camera app from Carplay which can be annoying. Can you tell me if my friend is correct or was he in error?
Any vehicle can provide a reverse gear trigger so a radio will automatically bring up a backup camera display. Often, it is a matter of finding the correct wire to connect the receiver's trigger wire onto. We recommend contacting technical support for help locating that wire in your vehicle. If you purchased your receiver from us, we recommend contacting our technical support for help. We send their phone number on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' support for the help.
Your friend is wrong, I just installed this unit in a 2010 CRV a few weeks ago. All he had to do was take the power and ground from the camera, ground the ground and tap the red power wire into the reverse light circuit and then run that to the reverse cam trigger wire on the radio harness, then no matter what screen you are on with the radio as soon as you go into reverse it will dim the volume and display the picture from the back up cam automatically.
Got one for my Honda Civic - works fairly well, but the only issue I have is the backup camera. The picture is EXTREMELY dark, and I can't seem to adjust the brightness of it. Also, it has a tendency to intermittently go offline. Any way to fix that?
I could not find any mention about settings to adjust the video from the backup camera. It's possible to dim only the camera if the dimmer wire on the radio was installed in such a way that it also becomes active when the vehicle is switched into reverse. I recommend contacting technical support to make sure it was properly installed. If you purchased it from Crutchfield, I recommend contacting our support for this help by calling their toll free phone number found on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, I recommend contacting Boss' support for help
Does the camera input support the stock camera? I already have a backup camera installed but I want to know if it supports the input that came stock in my car or if I have to buy another one.
How can I get it to automatically go into the backup camera when I’m in reverse? I have it wired to the reverse light but in order to see the camera I have to click the camera app
Hi there. You said the panel buttons light up in blue, but Boss's website says that it has multi-color illumination options. Can I change the button colors to red if that's the predominant illumination color in my vehicle?
I also have the same question... don't look like they've answered it. Or did you find out some other way? I'm definitely not to sure about it if it only does blue and my tacoma has orange lighting
Mines came crooked a lil bit, it only can go up and down but there is a screw on top of the camera I wonder if I loosing it up would it allow be to actually rotate to be atraight
The manual for the camera does indicate that camera's mount can be adjusted. And that is a different term from the one used as the main mount that holds it all onto the vehicle. I think it will work and recommend giving it a try. If it doesn't work, just line it all back up like it was and tighten the screws down.
Installed this in my 2003 Passat. Works great only question is when I shift into reverse should the screen automatically show the camera? Mine doesn’t unless you click camera on the screen
This radio does have Reverse wire that it uses to detect when the vehicle is in reverse gear so it automatically displays the image for a backup camera. It sounds like that wire may not be properly connected in your vehicle and we recommend contacting technical support for help. If you purchased your gear from us, we recommend contacting our technical support. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' technical support for the help
I ordered mine for my 05 Yukon XL with Bose sound... Paid for ready connect because I also got the adapter for steering controls, which made my install super fast. I'm curious to know if there's a way to turn off the display while driving specifically @ night. Looked on the manual but couldn't found anything.
We also cannot find a mention of that ability in the manual. It appears this receiver does not have the ability to turn off its screen continue to work.
There is no mention of a fit for this in the owner's manual. We recommend contacting technical support to check if anything can be done. If you purchased your receiver from us, we recommend contacting our technical support for help. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' support for the help
So I installed my boss radio. Everything works, but the problem is the rear camera. The camera works but do not change automatically when I switch the gear to reverse, i have to click the camera mode on the radio to see the rear camera. Any ideas why it does this ?
Hi Alexis, sounds like a wiring issue. If you got the system here, please give our Tech Support a call. Their direct number is on your invoice. We also have a great camera installation video that should help here: www.crutchfield.com/learn/how-to-run-wires-and-power-a-backup-camera.html
I just purchased the BE10ACP-C, and I was wondering If I connect the red and white wire labeled rear camera power from the Boss Unit, will it send power to the camera and LEDs any time you press on the camera option on the home screen, or camera will be powered all the time?
There is an option in Settings to turn on both FRONT CAMERA and REAR CAMERA functions allowing you can choose REAR CAMERA and FRONT CAMERA as you please. This is mentioned on page 25 of the owner's manual and seems to indicate that if you turn on this setting, the camera will be getting power all the time because you are turning on this function or this ability. A copy of the owner's manual can be found on our web site with the link to download it found in the What's in the Box section of this web page: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_104BE10ACC/item.html
Is there a way to remove the “check surrounding area” notification on the head unit? Seems like it takes up 25%~30% of the view when in reverse, and is bright yellow which kinda draws my attention there instead of my surroundings 😬
@kennethedwards8834 Yes, cut the white looped wire on the camera itself. This also removes the camera "hard" parking lines, but you can always use the ones from the head unit itself.
@@crutchfield Yes, cut the white looped wire on the camera itself. This also removes the camera "hard" parking lines, but you can always use the ones from the head unit itself.
I have a question, if I plug my cable into the apple carplay/andriod auto usb, does it still charge my phone, or do I have to choose between charging my phone or using apple carplay
Fantastic stereo, only issue is the apple map directions are super quiet. I’ve tried adjusting the settings on my phone and the source levels without success. Any advice?
I really like the Boss BE7ACP-C receiver and backup camera package, that was installed in my 2015 Mazda 6. I have only one complaint. Once I have the volume where I want it, IF I turn off the car and come back later, I have to turn it back up to the previous level. I usually have Android Auto connected, but even if it isn't and I'm just listening to bluetooth streaming, I have to turn the volume back up. Is there say to set a 'base level' volume, so that when I turn it on, the volume will start at that level? No, it is not a critical issue, the system works great, but that is the one thing that annoys me.
The owner's manual does seem to indicate there is a Volume section in the settings menu and references default volume for all the sources. You may be able to set it from the Audio part of the Settings menu
@@crutchfield actually it's a little more complicated than that. You have to hit the apps button on the bottom left corner, scroll down on the apps menu and then hit the "exit" button. This head unit does some odd things when I'm using it.
i’ve had this for a couple months now works good but, the other day it just randomly stopped working whenever i start the car it won’t come on, just a black screen i’m not sure if the fuse in my car for it went out
If yo purchased this with us, we have 7 day a week tech support. Their number can be found on your invoice on you orders tab in your online account. I would check the fuses, and wiring to see if there is an issue there to start with!
Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you may want to double check your video connection and cable to start. Also, be sure to double check your camera settings via the radio menu. If you got your radio/camera here, you can also call our Tech Support. Their direct number is on your invoice.
I bought this unit about 3 months ago. I have loved it since but a couple days ago I noticed that when I got in my truck and turned it on my volume would be turned down all the way. It never did that until a couple days ago. Any idea why?
Hmmm, that seems odd. If that radio was purchased with us, our tech support would love to help you out! Their number can be found on your invoice! You can also call us to look your order up and get you down to them! bit.ly/2KP1zS3
We do not carry the 9700 but looking at the specs Boss lists for it, it seems very comparable. The Boss BE7ACP does add the front camera input and SD card slot.
Had Crutchfield install this in my 2007 Dodge Magnum. Great job, looks and works great. I have one problem/question: Is there a way to reverse the view from the backup camera. It shows objects that are actually on the driver's side on the passenger side. I've looked through the owners manual but don't see any way to switch this. I may have unintentionally hit the wrong selection and caused this myself.
So glad to hear that! Go into the camera settings and turn "Rear Camera View" Off, if that doesn't work do a hard reset of the head unit using the button on the bottom left corner by the SD card slot. The blue loop on the camera determines whether or not the image is inverted (upside-down or right-side-up), this wire does not flip the image horizontally. If that still doesn't fix the problem, your invoice will have the tech support phone number on it, give us a call and we'll be happy to check into it!
I installed it in dodge caravan but for steering control. I couldnt find where to connect that wire in headunit. What wire did you connect it to(coming from idatalink)?
You can connect from the subwoofer pre-outs on this radio to the RCA input on your amp using patch cables here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc921/p_007CPC217/item.html
Yes! We do carry extension cables for this. This one comes in 3 lengths www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc974/p_120V10R20V/T-Spec-v10-Series-Video-Cable-20-foot.html?tp=2526
Thanks for the video. Just installed this and was wondering if when the gear shifter shifts into reverse is the camera supposed to turn on or does the camera button on the screen have to be touched to connect the camera?
It is possible to install this receiver so that it automatically brings up the backup camera when shifting into reverse. It has a reverse wire that is used to detect when the vehicle goes into reverse so this can happen.
I have been bought a be7acp kit and installed on my car, it works perfect is great radio I have only an issue, I have no idea how to configure the steering wheel control of my car
Did you get the adapter to keep the steering wheel radio controls working with the Boss radio? If you did and you got it from us, our technical support can help! We send their toll free phone number on the order invoice
I noticed in your video the reverse camera screen doesn’t have the big yellow bar on top that says “check surroundings before proceeding” this obstructs a good portion of my camera view and I would really like to get rid of it.
We got this installed professionally and I love the set up the screen seems super dark. Is this a normal problem? We have the brightness settings all the way up...
I want to purchase the BE7ACP. I have a Dual XDVD251BT and had a harness made by you guys. The connection on the BOSS and the DUAL look the exact same, so can I use the harness that use with the DUAL and plug it into the BOSS? I have an 04 mustang with the mach 460 system if that helps
Hi Nick, you will need to use the new Boss BE7ACP harness. If you want to re-use the wiring you got to match the Mustang, you'll remove the Dual wiring and connect the Boss wiring instead. If you need connectors, these do a great job here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rIGRc921/p_669PP500/item.html
My truck already had a back camera I hdd the stereo shop to hook up my boss stereo to the factory camera it looks like a fish bowl the guy at the stereo shop said the aspect ratio is off we need to find out how to change the aspect ratio in the boss radio. Do you know how?
The owner's manual does not mention anything about an aspect ratio setting that can be adjusted in it. There are radios that do have the aspect ratio adjustment. We would be happy to recommend an alternative. What vehicle is the radio being installed into? What are the other abilities you would like in a new stereo?
The receiver does have a control that will allow a connected backup camera to be displayed without having to be in reverse (helpful for towing like you mentioned). The backup camera must be able to get power even when the RV is not in reverse for this to work.
We can check our research if there is a way to fix that. What is the year, make, and model of the vehicle? Which brand/model wiring harness was used to install this radio?
Just Installed this unit in my 2017 WRX. I had to modify the aftermarket bezel since the radio would not fit correctly with or without the trim. The steering wheel interface does not work properly. I do need to use the second dip switch setting to see if it works. The oem rear view camera works but the picture is grainy compared to the stock unit. The in or external amp option does not work right. I have two amps and they dont work with the external settings enable.

Just installed on my son's truck today. Everything was fine until we turned the headlights on. Screen starts to flash from dimmer to brighter like a strobe effect.

I just installed this unit into my 2015 Nissan Frontier. The question I have is this. I have a green parking brake wire and a purple wire left and I have No idea where they go?
It sounds like the wiring harness did not provide those connections which means they must be spliced into the stock wiring of the vehicle.

If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' support by calling 800-999-1236 for the help.
It sounds like you are using an amp that has a remote level controller connected to this receiver. This radio's subwoofer controls should not impact the ability to use the controller and it is likely that either the amp, controller, or controller cable are causing the issue.

Just installed this a about 2 months ago and I just got the courage to connect the braking wire for android play but why won't CZcams or Spotify show up

If you don't have the brackets, you can obtain them from your dealership." Is the factory radio still in place? If so those brackets will be there. :)

Thanks for your reply. Tip for consumers. If you contact the customer service representatives of the shops on Alibaba and AliExpress, and supply them with pictures of parts you require, or the serial numbers on the stickers, you can buy replacement electronic parts for nothing. Near everything comes from China, and if they are not the original manufacturer they are making a replacement anyway. After failing to get a picture or specs for what I need in this case (lazy way), I removed the unit from the car again and removed the screen, sent a picture to a couple of factory shops. This one costs $8. I have been able to repair computers and appliances that people threw away, or were quoted hundreds of dollars to repair, for less than a dollar sometimes. It is just a matter of talking to them to get what you need.

Hi Randy, our techs did take a look at the Boss BE7ACP. If you have a dash cam with a standard composite video output, you could connect it to the front input. However, this input has to be manually selected from the head unit's touchscreen each time and it does not get retained after a power down.

so my buddy ordered this for his 2012 jeep patriot. he has know clue what hes doing when it comes to most things, this including electronic installation, and is also extremely impatient and couldnt wait 3 days for me to be free and do it. after video calling me 100 times he thinks its connected correctly, i have no clue cuz its not physically in front of me however the issue that has came up is his car has no back up camera and he doesn't want or need a back up camera when the unit starts it gives him an error message about the back up camera having no signal. i told him to ground the signal off which he says he did but its still giving him the error. has anyone encountered this issue and know how to bypass the back up camera. because i cant really see this unit just not working with out a back up camera. this is why people who didn't know how to use wire crimpers or butt connectors until last night shouldn't try to install units in ne vehicles that use data buses and everything else.
So took you guys 3 days to answer my message. I ordered the Boss Be7acp-c thinking it would work for a front dash cam as well as reverse camera. Now I will have to cancel the front camera I ordered because this unit doesn't support dash cam. Your discription of this radio even in your video lends one to believe that you can use a dash cam. What a waste of time.
This receiver does not have the ability to show CZcams videos from a smartphone or mirror a smartphone. We offer other models that can. What type of smartphone do you have? What vehicle is this going into?
We don't show any double DIN unit to fit your Land Rover; but, you may want to consider a single DIN unit like the Pioneer AVH-3500NEX: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc921/p_130AV3500/item.html
Bought a car with this unit already in it.
By far the best sounding unit I’ve ever had without having to add a bass cannon. I love bass, and this unit can drive stock speakers to their full potential. I’m seriously considering getting another unit for my wife’s suv.
We may have gear to install it into her SUV. What is the year, make, and model of it?
Bought it and installed it. Head unit is easy, I tried to install the camera over the weekend and the instructions are little to none. If you have never installed a back up camera, I suggest waiting until tech support is standing by. Now I know how to do it and it is easy. The head unit is simple to operate and sounds great. The back up camera is also very nice. The whole package for little money! Working with CF is awesome!
Thanks John!
John I am inquiring about the backup camera because that’s what standing between me and buying this product. Did you have to connect the radio to a reverse wire in your car for the camera to know you were backing up or did the system know automatically you were backing up?
@@tristanryan20 Hi I currently have the same problem did you ever find a solution please
Installing mine on a 2008 F-150 XLT. I have a few notes to share: 1. Camera: I use the camera came with the package for front instead of back and purchase a lift gate handle camera for the back. Instead of hooking to 12V power of the truck light, I sourced the power directly from the head unit itself. There were two 12V wired for front and rear camera. For the camera that came with this Boss set, I hooked up the red cable (which is normally hooked up to the truck light power source) to the red cable next to the AV plug. The AV Video plug end that connects to the camera input on the head unit also had a little red wire next to it. I wired this wire to one of 12V front/rear camera wires coming out off the head unit. So, same approach for both front and rear cameras. I did not hook the reverse signal wire to the truck at all. The cons of this approach is the unit does not automatically know when the truck is in reverse drive. So, to see the camera video, I have to click on it on the screen. Remember to go into settings to turn on the camera power for the front, or back, or both in order to have the 12V power. One complain is for the Metra mounting kit. I have to saw off the mounting hooks in the back of the brackets to be able to slide the head in. Also, the frame was not big enough to fit the open. I can still behind of the dash from an angle view.
How is it working for you??
I mean does it still work after 11 months?
I have this unit can’t complain
Make speakers sound better?
How do you make your camera pop up when you up it in reverse???
Great Video. Told me every thing I need to know about the radio. Thank You
You should make a video on how to adjust the backup camera!
Great value and working perfect for me going on 2 months
It's great to hear that you are happy with it! 🙂
Just purchased this unit and camera from Crutchfield for my 2014 Nissan Frontier. Can’t wait to install it this weekend!
how is it?
Just ordered this for my 2012 Toyota Corolla
Just installed one on my brother's 2010 rav4 last weekend. Only complaint he has is when he shifts from reverse to drive, the radio goes back to the home screen instead of back to Android auto. Is there anything that can be done about this? It's a very small issue and he's not too concerned about it, but it's also what lead me to this video.
I could not find a setting mentioned in the manual to adjust this and suspect it may be the normal operation of the receiver. If you purchased it from us, we give lifetime technical support with the purchase and suggest calling them before calling it done. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice.
I am most likely late, but go into settings, camera, and increase the reverse delay
@@1eb I wouldn't say too late. He still has the car, he may or may not have found this by now but I will pass along the information! Thank you very much.
@@1eb This does not work, at least for me.
@matthewbrayton8166 Hoping somehow you read this late response. I recently did this install for a family member (brother as well), and this was driving me crazy more than it was him. There is a firmware update that fixes this issue I am happy to say, but it is not listed on the product support/product profile page on the Boss website. I only found out about it by calling them and asking about it, and they emailed me the URL. I tried posting it in the comments field here but no luck. I really hope this helps, and you end up seeing this!
I found a software update on the Boss Audio site but there arent any instructions that I can find on how to do the update... is it done through USB or SD... does the medium need to be formatted NTSF or FAT-32?
I had a friend install this into my 2010 Honda CRV-LX and I love it. My only issue is that he said that my vehicle didn't have the correct wiring to allow for the rearview camera to be automatically turned on when I shift into reverse. If I am on a phone call, I can't switch to the rearview camera app from Carplay which can be annoying. Can you tell me if my friend is correct or was he in error?
Any vehicle can provide a reverse gear trigger so a radio will automatically bring up a backup camera display. Often, it is a matter of finding the correct wire to connect the receiver's trigger wire onto. We recommend contacting technical support for help locating that wire in your vehicle. If you purchased your receiver from us, we recommend contacting our technical support for help. We send their phone number on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' support for the help.
Your friend is wrong, I just installed this unit in a 2010 CRV a few weeks ago. All he had to do was take the power and ground from the camera, ground the ground and tap the red power wire into the reverse light circuit and then run that to the reverse cam trigger wire on the radio harness, then no matter what screen you are on with the radio as soon as you go into reverse it will dim the volume and display the picture from the back up cam automatically.
Thanks for your help, just put mine in and it's great...
You're certainly welcome. It's great to hear that you're happy with the new stereo! 🙂
Just installed this on my 1994 Camry and it’s awesome opted out on the rear camera because it was out of my budget
Hi Owen. glad you're loving your new radio! If you need help choosing a camera later or anything else, please let us know.
Im doing the same. $280 for a damn backup camera smh. $140 for just the stereo installation.
@@GokuInstinct1 ya Is pretty expensive
@@GokuInstinct1i thought those cameras cost $20 😹
Got one for my Honda Civic - works fairly well, but the only issue I have is the backup camera. The picture is EXTREMELY dark, and I can't seem to adjust the brightness of it. Also, it has a tendency to intermittently go offline. Any way to fix that?
I could not find any mention about settings to adjust the video from the backup camera. It's possible to dim only the camera if the dimmer wire on the radio was installed in such a way that it also becomes active when the vehicle is switched into reverse. I recommend contacting technical support to make sure it was properly installed.

Hey bro I got a question about this Boss audio and then my front dashboard speakers they get base somehow and it just sounds like crap
Hi Mikey, are you using the BE7ACP-C? What type of speakers do you have in your dash? What is the year, make, and model of your vehicle?
Does the camera input support the stock camera? I already have a backup camera installed but I want to know if it supports the input that came stock in my car or if I have to buy another one.
Yes it does I have this unit and have a back and front camera. Both are different models I went with the Erapta 2.0
How can I get it to automatically go into the backup camera when I’m in reverse? I have it wired to the reverse light but in order to see the camera I have to click the camera app
Hi Josh, are you using the Boss BE7ACP-C package specifically?
Hi there. You said the panel buttons light up in blue, but Boss's website says that it has multi-color illumination options. Can I change the button colors to red if that's the predominant illumination color in my vehicle?
I also have the same question... don't look like they've answered it. Or did you find out some other way?
I'm definitely not to sure about it if it only does blue and my tacoma has orange lighting
When I’m reverse how did u get the big “checking surroundings” text display off ?
Sorry, Boss does not provide any option to turn off that safety warning.
Mines came crooked a lil bit, it only can go up and down but there is a screw on top of the camera I wonder if I loosing it up would it allow be to actually rotate to be atraight
The manual for the camera does indicate that camera's mount can be adjusted. And that is a different term from the one used as the main mount that holds it all onto the vehicle. I think it will work and recommend giving it a try. If it doesn't work, just line it all back up like it was and tighten the screws down.
Installed this in my 2003 Passat. Works great only question is when I shift into reverse should the screen automatically show the camera? Mine doesn’t unless you click camera on the screen
This radio does have Reverse wire that it uses to detect when the vehicle is in reverse gear so it automatically displays the image for a backup camera. It sounds like that wire may not be properly connected in your vehicle and we recommend contacting technical support for help. If you purchased your gear from us, we recommend contacting our technical support. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' technical support for the help
So there is a button to switch to the camera whenever? Even when going forward?
So there’s no way to use Bluetooth and Apple play at the same time? It has to plugged in?
For the Apple CarPlay features, it will require a wired USB connection between the iPhone and stereo.
I ordered mine for my 05 Yukon XL with Bose sound... Paid for ready connect because I also got the adapter for steering controls, which made my install super fast. I'm curious to know if there's a way to turn off the display while driving specifically @ night. Looked on the manual but couldn't found anything.
We also cannot find a mention of that ability in the manual. It appears this receiver does not have the ability to turn off its screen continue to work.
thank you for your video.
Worked great until volume up button got stuck! I wiggled it out and now it just loosely presses in. Any tips on how to fix this?
There is no mention of a fit for this in the owner's manual. We recommend contacting technical support to check if anything can be done.

So I installed my boss radio. Everything works, but the problem is the rear camera. The camera works but do not change automatically when I switch the gear to reverse, i have to click the camera mode on the radio to see the rear camera.
Any ideas why it does this ?
Hi Alexis, sounds like a wiring issue. If you got the system here, please give our Tech Support a call. Their direct number is on your invoice. We also have a great camera installation video that should help here: www.crutchfield.com/learn/how-to-run-wires-and-power-a-backup-camera.html
I just purchased the BE10ACP-C, and I was wondering If I connect the red and white wire labeled rear camera power from the Boss Unit, will it send power to the camera and LEDs any time you press on the camera option on the home screen, or camera will be powered all the time?
There is an option in Settings to turn on both FRONT CAMERA and REAR CAMERA functions allowing you can choose REAR CAMERA and FRONT CAMERA as you please. This is mentioned on page 25 of the owner's manual and seems to indicate that if you turn on this setting, the camera will be getting power all the time because you are turning on this function or this ability. A copy of the owner's manual can be found on our web site with the link to download it found in the What's in the Box section of this web page:

Is there a way to remove the “check surrounding area” notification on the head unit? Seems like it takes up 25%~30% of the view when in reverse, and is bright yellow which kinda draws my attention there instead of my surroundings 😬
Boss does not offer an option to defeat that warning.
@kennethedwards8834 Yes, cut the white looped wire on the camera itself. This also removes the camera "hard" parking lines, but you can always use the ones from the head unit itself.

I have a question, if I plug my cable into the apple carplay/andriod auto usb, does it still charge my phone, or do I have to choose between charging my phone or using apple carplay
The USB input charges at the same time.
Fantastic stereo, only issue is the apple map directions are super quiet. I’ve tried adjusting the settings on my phone and the source levels without success. Any advice?
This receiver should have an option to adjust the navigation prompt volume within the audio settings menu.
I really like the Boss BE7ACP-C receiver and backup camera package, that was installed in my 2015 Mazda 6. I have only one complaint. Once I have the volume where I want it, IF I turn off the car and come back later, I have to turn it back up to the previous level. I usually have Android Auto connected, but even if it isn't and I'm just listening to bluetooth streaming, I have to turn the volume back up. Is there say to set a 'base level' volume, so that when I turn it on, the volume will start at that level? No, it is not a critical issue, the system works great, but that is the one thing that annoys me.
The owner's manual does seem to indicate there is a Volume section in the settings menu and references default volume for all the sources. You may be able to set it from the Audio part of the Settings menu
@@crutchfield thank you, I found the settings that you were talking about. I've now been able to adjust my default volume accordingly.
I noticed that there isn't a "home" button on the front panel. How do you get back to the homscreen when you're in say android auto?
There is an icon on the screen itself that allows you to exit the interface.
@@crutchfield actually it's a little more complicated than that. You have to hit the apps button on the bottom left corner, scroll down on the apps menu and then hit the "exit" button. This head unit does some odd things when I'm using it.
i’ve had this for a couple months now works good but, the other day it just randomly stopped working whenever i start the car it won’t come on, just a black screen i’m not sure if the fuse in my car for it went out
If yo purchased this with us, we have 7 day a week tech support. Their number can be found on your invoice on you orders tab in your online account. I would check the fuses, and wiring to see if there is an issue there to start with!
@Crutchfield
Are you able to turn the display screen completely off when not in use?
Yes, you can turn this unit off completely when not in use by pressing the power button at the top left.
Model BE62CP “no signal detected” from camera. Happens in reverse or by accessing camera from screen. Camer has power, LEDs come on.
Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you may want to double check your video connection and cable to start. Also, be sure to double check your camera settings via the radio menu. If you got your radio/camera here, you can also call our Tech Support. Their direct number is on your invoice.
I bought this unit about 3 months ago. I have loved it since but a couple days ago I noticed that when I got in my truck and turned it on my volume would be turned down all the way. It never did that until a couple days ago. Any idea why?

What’s the difference between this unit and the BCVP9700A?
We do not carry the 9700 but looking at the specs Boss lists for it, it seems very comparable. The Boss BE7ACP does add the front camera input and SD card slot.
@@crutchfield I just got the 9700 and it also has front camera input on back and SD card slot in the front.
Cool. Sounds like it must be super close. Enjoy!
@@crutchfield thx
Had Crutchfield install this in my 2007 Dodge Magnum. Great job, looks and works great. I have one problem/question: Is there a way to reverse the view from the backup camera. It shows objects that are actually on the driver's side on the passenger side. I've looked through the owners manual but don't see any way to switch this. I may have unintentionally hit the wrong selection and caused this myself.
So glad to hear that! Go into the camera settings and turn "Rear Camera View" Off, if that doesn't work do a hard reset of the head unit using the button on the bottom left corner by the SD card slot. The blue loop on the camera determines whether or not the image is inverted (upside-down or right-side-up), this wire does not flip the image horizontally. If that still doesn't fix the problem, your invoice will have the tech support phone number on it, give us a call and we'll be happy to check into it!
@@crutchfield Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Glad to hear that! 😊
I installed it in dodge caravan but for steering control. I couldnt find where to connect that wire in headunit. What wire did you connect it to(coming from idatalink)?

Thanks for the video. Just installed this and was wondering if when the gear shifter shifts into reverse is the camera supposed to turn on or does the camera button on the screen have to be touched to connect the camera?
It is possible to install this receiver so that it automatically brings up the backup camera when shifting into reverse. It has a reverse wire that is used to detect when the vehicle goes into reverse so this can happen.
@@crutchfield what wire is that ?

Hi Nick, you will need to use the new Boss BE7ACP harness. If you want to re-use the wiring you got to match the Mustang, you'll remove the Dual wiring and connect the Boss wiring instead. If you need connectors, these do a great job here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rIGRc921/p_669PP500/item.html
How does the radio connect to the internet or have service to use spotify or google maps?
You would need to connect your compatible smart phone and use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to use those apps.
My truck already had a back camera I hdd the stereo shop to hook up my boss stereo to the factory camera it looks like a fish bowl the guy at the stereo shop said the aspect ratio is off we need to find out how to change the aspect ratio in the boss radio. Do you know how?
The owner's manual does not mention anything about an aspect ratio setting that can be adjusted in it. There are radios that do have the aspect ratio adjustment. We would be happy to recommend an alternative. What vehicle is the radio being installed into? What are the other abilities you would like in a new stereo?
Put one in my RV is there a way to make the camera work while the radio is on like to view what I’m towing while driving
The receiver does have a control that will allow a connected backup camera to be displayed without having to be in reverse (helpful for towing like you mentioned). The backup camera must be able to get power even when the RV is not in reverse for this to work.
I noticed my backup sensors don't work anymore ever since I got this radio installed into my vehicle. Is there a way to fix this?
We can check our research if there is a way to fix that. What is the year, make, and model of the vehicle? Which brand/model wiring harness was used to install this radio?
Just Installed this unit in my 2017 WRX. I had to modify the aftermarket bezel since the radio would not fit correctly with or without the trim. The steering wheel interface does not work properly. I do need to use the second dip switch setting to see if it works. The oem rear view camera works but the picture is grainy compared to the stock unit. The in or external amp option does not work right. I have two amps and they dont work with the external settings enable.

The Front camera is manually selectable, and it is not possible to record using the radio. The front camera features is a parking assistance feature.
Do I need a trigger wire if I’m installing an aftermarket backup camera
Yes. The reverse gear wire of head unit's harness must be connected to vehicle's reverse gear circuit.
I just installed this unit into my 2015 Nissan Frontier. The question I have is this. I have a green parking brake wire and a purple wire left and I have No idea where they go?
It sounds like the wiring harness did not provide those connections which means they must be spliced into the stock wiring of the vehicle.

If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting Boss' support by calling 800-999-1236 for the help.
why do i lose control over my subwoofer bass knob?
It sounds like you are using an amp that has a remote level controller connected to this receiver. This radio's subwoofer controls should not impact the ability to use the controller and it is likely that either the amp, controller, or controller cable are causing the issue. Troubleshooting may be needed to help figure out which is the culprit.

We do not have that information about the screen and recommend contacting Boss to see if they are able to supply you with it
Thanks for your reply. Tip for consumers. If you contact the customer service representatives of the shops on Alibaba and AliExpress, and supply them with pictures of parts you require, or the serial numbers on the stickers, you can buy replacement electronic parts for nothing. Near everything comes from China, and if they are not the original manufacturer they are making a replacement anyway.
After failing to get a picture or specs for what I need in this case (lazy way), I removed the unit from the car again and removed the screen, sent a picture to a couple of factory shops. This one costs $8. I have been able to repair computers and appliances that people threw away, or were quoted hundreds of dollars to repair, for less than a dollar sometimes.
It is just a matter of talking to them to get what you need.
We added this in my daughter’s car and we have 2 major issues with it. The backup camera is so dark on the screen you can’t see it. Second is we cannot hear phone calls through the system and cannot hear when the CarPlay reads the texts to us.
We hate to hear this is happening and recommend checking with technical support as that does not sound like normal operation with a backup camera and is definitely not normal operation for Apple CarPlay. If you purchased it from us, we recommend contacting our technical support for the help. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice.
Hi JR. Nice video. Question: If my 2017 car already has a backup camera, do I need to purchase additional equipment or do you think my current backup camera will connect to the Boss without additional equipment? Thanks!
Did you figure it out
@@GagnonGaming88 Hi Matt. I think I did. Best Buy explained that I don't need to buy anything additional since my car already has a back up camera. However, I did have to buy additional wires to connect the steering wheel controls.
@@robertm9685 thank you. How do you lile the stereo(
@@GagnonGaming88 Haven't had it installed yet. Will soon.
Most vehicles in which it is possible to retain the factory backup camera require an adapter to change its connections to the type used by the new radio. We can check your vehicle and recommend reaching out to an advisor to do this check. Here's how to reach one:

Probably the way it was worded. Says you can use a Front Camera as well as a reverse camera . I unfortunalely asummed you meant Dash Cam when speaking of a Front Camera. No worries, I will pickup up a dash cam. One other thing I ordered a rp5-gm11 interface package which is noted to work with the Boss radio and my vehicle. Very little information on how to hook it all up.
Thanks, Randy. What is the year, make, and model of your vehicle? Keep in mind, if you got the radio/'wiring here, you can call our Tech Support for installation assistance. Their direct number is on your invoice.
Hi Randy, our techs did take a look at the Boss BE7ACP. If you have a dash cam with a standard composite video output, you could connect it to the front input. However, this input has to be manually selected from the head unit's touchscreen each time and it does not get retained after a power down.
I have a 2011 Subaru Legacy, I want to put the floating 10’ Boss Audio with the back up camera in it. Is this possible ? I have pictures of my current set up with the dimensions I can send over
For better assessment
We will be happy to check if this is possible! Did your Legacy come with factory installed navigation? Does it have the Harman Kardon sound system?
My car has a back up camera in it already. Will this radio be able to hook up to it with the wiring harness's that come with the radio?
Thank you.
The radio itself won't be able to retain your factory back up camera. We actually carry an installation kit for the specific car it's being installed in. We may have a camera retention harness that retains the camera in your car. What's the year, make, and model of the car you'll be installing this in?
@@crutchfield 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan
With the Fender logo on inside of front doors
Unfortunately, it appears that we cannot retain the OEM camera. :((
@@crutchfield is there not an adapter with an idata maestro port that will work?
Just installed this unit on my gf 07 Jeep Wrangler. She loves it and now she wanted a sub and amp. So I installed everything but I m not getting any bass from subwoofer. Amp is ON ground good battery cable is good everything is plugged in right. I tried all the outputs for the RCA cables behind the unit but nothing 😔 can anyone help?
The only things left to check are any controls that may be on the amp itself. If those are set to allow bass to pass through, then you will need to speak with technical support to troubleshoot the issue. If you purchased your gear from Crutchfield, we recommend contacting our technical support for this help. We include their toll free phone number on the order invoice. If it was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, we recommend contacting the manufacturers for help
Does this have GPS and if so how does its get Traffic data.
The BE7ACP does not have built-in GPS navigation.
Just got this unit for my son. We installed it in his 2001 Honda accord. We got power to the unit everything hooked up. However we are getting this message on the screen "no signal detected, check your cable connection and make sure your camera is connected and powered on." Is there anything that can fix this? If so can you please HELP lol. Thank you for your time and video even though this is an old video for you.
Your best bet is to start by double checking your wiring and then your camera settings via the radio menu. If you got the radio here, you can call our Tech Support for help as well. Their direct number is on your invoice.
@@crutchfield ok great thank you for the help.
@@crutchfieldi have a 2001 honda accord do i have to use the backup camera or is it optional?
How do you turn off the beep when one touches the buttons??
I believe that is the system tone you are hearing and page 24 of the owner's manual shows how to access the menu to disable it. We have a link on our web page for the receiver to download the manual that's found in the What's in the Box section:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/p_104BE7ACPC/item.html
Does it fit a 2010 Chrysler 300 touring
Does your 300 have factory navigation? Does it have the basic 4-speaker system? Or perhaps the factory Kicker or Boston Acoustics sound system?
I just had it installed. I like it, but at its lowest setting, the screen is way too bright at night.
Any way to get the SD card ? Lost mine
This receiver did not come with an SD card. It can take microSD cards and play a variety of music, video, and photo files loaded onto one. Here's a link to the microSD cards we offer that will work with it:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/g_47100/SD-Memory-Cards.html?tp=61562&fa=1#&nvpair=FFType|microSDHC&nvpair=FFType|microSDXC&nvpair=FFCapacity|32%20GB&nvpair=FFCapacity|64%20GB
How well does it handle really cold climates?
Typically electronics function well in cold environments. How cold are you talking?
How do I reverse the camera
Mine is backwards
Your best bet is to double check how you mounted the camera and to verify the white loop is not cut. If you got the radio or camera here, you can call our Tech Support for help. Their direct number is on your invoice.
Will this stereo fit a 2007 Tacoma double cab?
This stereo can be installed into your pickup. We have the necessary installation gear to make it work and an online vehicle fit guide that can help make sure you get that gear. Here is a link to that fit guide:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/car/carselector.aspx
Just had it installed and it doesn't receive phone calls directly while in either bluetooth or CarPlay. The call is received on the phone rather than thru the unit. The factory backup camera works well with the adapters from Crutchfield. Sound is good. Will have to call support. Not so happy just yet. 2010 Prius.
This receiver is supposed to let you answer phone calls through its interface to play through the vehicle allowing you to remain handsfree. Since it is not working properly, we recommend contacting technical support for help troubleshooting this issue. Their toll free phone number is on the order invoice
Was a setting on the iPhone. Accessibility>Touch>Call Audio Routing. Needs to be set to Automatic. This corrected the calls issue.
We are glad that you found the issue. Also, thanks for posting the solution!!
So if I plug in my phone to the Apple carplay/Android Auto it wouldn’t charge my phone?
Your phone is charged while it is plugged in, yes.
Does this model come with a built in GPS or we have to use the android play
No, it does not have built in GPS but it does have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to use your own GPS app from your phone.
Could u guide on the most suitable model that will enable me to use all the factory features on my town and country 2010 4.0 limited
I have already replaced some of the speakers bought from your store
Sure! What factory options do you hope to maintain? Did your van come with a factory subwoofer? Did you want a receiver with built-in nav? What other features do you need?
niceeeeeeee
This compatible with an 01 rav4?
You can check the fitment and such on our website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTBc174car/outfitmycar/mycar.aspx
or give one of our advisors a call! bit.ly/2KP1zS3
so my buddy ordered this for his 2012 jeep patriot. he has know clue what hes doing when it comes to most things, this including electronic installation, and is also extremely impatient and couldnt wait 3 days for me to be free and do it. after video calling me 100 times he thinks its connected correctly, i have no clue cuz its not physically in front of me however the issue that has came up is his car has no back up camera and he doesn't want or need a back up camera when the unit starts it gives him an error message about the back up camera having no signal. i told him to ground the signal off which he says he did but its still giving him the error. has anyone encountered this issue and know how to bypass the back up camera. because i cant really see this unit just not working with out a back up camera. this is why people who didn't know how to use wire crimpers or butt connectors until last night shouldn't try to install units in ne vehicles that use data buses and everything else.
Any luck? Mine is the same saying check power to camrea and won’t let me do anything else
So took you guys 3 days to answer my message. I ordered the Boss Be7acp-c thinking it would work for a front dash cam as well as reverse camera. Now I will have to cancel the front camera I ordered because this unit doesn't support dash cam. Your discription of this radio even in your video lends one to believe that you can use a dash cam. What a waste of time.
Sorry to hear that, Randy. We will have our techs double check our spec listings for this model.
Hi great video, would this be ok wv t5 van fitment looks great
What's the year, make, and model of your van?
Can i watch CZcams vids on this? Or screen mirror
This receiver does not have the ability to show CZcams videos from a smartphone or mirror a smartphone. We offer other models that can. What type of smartphone do you have? What vehicle is this going into?
Will it fit a 2003 Land Rover Discovery?
We don't show any double DIN unit to fit your Land Rover; but, you may want to consider a single DIN unit like the Pioneer AVH-3500NEX: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc921/p_130AV3500/item.html
