If you wish that your phone and your car stereo would just get along with each other, the BOSS Audio Elite BE7ACP.XC multimedia receiver package will make your day. To make a good thing better, this package includes both the BE7ACP.X multimedia receiver and a backup camera with a license-plate bracket. Built-in wired Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ bring the smartphone apps you use the most to the big 7" touchscreen for easy access to the music, maps, and more. Bluetooth compatibility adds the convenience of music streaming and hands-free calling. The built-in AM/FM tuner, a front USB-C port, rear USB-A port, and A/V input mean there will be no shortage of media sources.

BOSS Audio also includes a backup camera in this package, which can be mounted on your license plate holder. You'll get a dedicated backup cam input for the included camera, a second camera input, and adjustable parking guidelines let you tweak your settings for the perfect assisted rear view.

BOSS Audio builds both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into their competitively priced BE7ACP.X receiver, so iPhone and Android users benefit from a big touchscreen and voice control of their favorite smartphone features. If you use Siri or Google Assistant regularly, you'll find that this hands-free control translates perfectly to the car.

The stereo's six 4-volt preamp outputs send a strong signal to any amplifiers powering your speakers and subs, while a built-in digital signal processor with its 13-band EQ gives you the tools you need to craft the right sound for your tastes. Another nice touch — you can set the default volume level of each of your sources, so no more blasting you when you switch from radio to CarPlay for music. If you're looking for radio stations that won't fade away on a long trip, add a SiriusXM tuner to this BOSS Audio Elite car stereo to enjoy satellite radio's deep programming from Portland to Pomona.
