BOSS Audio BV9358B

In this boss audio bv9358b review, the BOSS Audio BV9358B is the cheapest CarPlay double DIN stereo in our 2026 guide at $139.99, and it is the right pick for drivers who want Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a tight budget. It ranks ninth of nine on price, not on popularity: 5,528 Amazon ratings give it a 4.1-star average, the largest owner sample in the roundup. The unit pairs a capacitive touchscreen with wired CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a built-in CD and DVD player. Buy it if your priority is saving money and you accept an older design without wireless CarPlay.

The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen quoted in the title is the headline feature, though the product description lists a 6.2-inch display, so measure your dash opening before ordering. In daily use, CarPlay runs over a wired connection: plug in your iPhone, tap the Siri button, and ask for maps, messages, music, or podcasts. Android Auto works the same way with Google Assistant voice commands, real-time traffic on Google Maps and Waze, and hands-free calls. On the audio side, the BOSS Audio BV9358B pushes 320 watts of peak power across a 4.1-channel stereo output, enough to drive four factory speakers, and RCA connectors let you add an external amplifier later. Bluetooth streaming, Pandora, Spotify, USB, SD, and aux inputs cover everything else, and an external microphone is included for calls.

At $139.99, this is the value play in the guide, undercutting every other CarPlay double DIN we compared. That said, the savings come with real trade-offs: no wireless CarPlay, no confirmed software update support, and a platform old enough that the screen-size listing contradicts itself. By contrast, the pricier units in the roundup add wireless CarPlay, so pick one of those if you want to stream without plugging in. Even so, the 3-year BOSS Platinum dealer warranty through Amazon, a track record built on thousands of owner reviews, and the built-in CD and DVD player are hard to match at this price. Skip the BOSS Audio BV9358B if you need wireless CarPlay or a guaranteed 7-inch display. Otherwise, if budget decides your build, this is the one to get.
