Great by M. W. Fulcher "on the water" on amazon.com Nov 2, 2011
I went to a sound shop and they told me there was not a replacement radio for my Mercedes ML320. I told my son and he immediately found quite a few of them on Amazon. I purchased this radio/cd/dvd/bluetooth player at his suggestion. He installed it ...

Great Buy For The Price by Nelson on sonicelectronix.com Mar 16, 2012
The head unit was a breeze to install with the install kit, the only downside i can mention is that there is not true equalizer for this kit. Still for the price it looks sharp and has a great number of features.

I brought the Boss BV8970 In-Dash 8" DVD/MP3/CD Receiver with USB, SD Card, and Front Panel AUX Input last year and one year to the day of purchase, the dvd player stopped working. I called the warranty number and after reading the 3 year warranty card ...
 
Boss bv8970 by Anthony on amazon.com Oct 3, 2011
When i first got the unit installed the first day some of the bottons of the touch screen did not work. In particular the bass and volume slide. A month later the dvd player would seemingly have to warm up before it played my dvd or cd. Evenutally the ...
 
do not purcahse by Kenneth Wilson on amazon.com Jan 27, 2012
I bought this for my son for christmas and it did not work when it was installed, the company tried to charge us to ship it back and wait for them to repair it which is bad customer service as it should have worked out of the box
 
Quality could be better by David S. Mcnally "Dave" on amazon.com Jan 2, 2012

not had good luck with it by Micaiah Lufcy on amazon.com Nov 12, 2011
