BOSS Audio packs powerful features into their affordable BE7ACP.WX digital multimedia receiver, including a 7” capacitive touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. When you get behind the wheel, your phone automatically syncs up with this car stereo to give you access to all your apps. You'll also enjoy instant access to Siri or Google Assistant for hands-free control that lets you concentrate on the road, while built-in Bluetooth® also makes wireless music streaming and hands-free calls easy.

BOSS Audio includes the very best smartphone integration in the BE7ACP.WX with onboard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay that you can access with a wireless connection, thanks to built-in Wi-Fi.

Android Auto (wired and wireless): Android Auto integrates the Android platform into your driving experience in a non-distracting way. You'll have voice-control access to Google Maps, weather, music, your phone, and text messages, plus easy access to many of your favorite apps. Get more info at www.android.com/auto.

Apple CarPlay (wired and wireless): CarPlay integrates your iPhone® into the driving experience, putting iPhone content at the driver's voice command with minimal distraction. That means easy access to your music library, your phone, messages, navigation, and many third-party streaming music apps, too. Learn more at www.apple.com/ios/carplay.

Bluetooth enables wireless streaming for stored music, Internet radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks. This receiver also lets you take and make calls while keeping your hands on the wheel — an awesome safety feature when you're making your daily commute.

The stereo's six preamp outputs send a powerful 4-volt signal to any amplifiers powering your speakers and subs, while a built-in digital signal processor with its 13-band EQ lets you fine tune the sound to your tastes. You can set default volume levels for all of your sources so you don't get blasted out of your seat when you switch to a new source. If you're looking for radio stations that won't fade away, add a SiriusXM tuner to this BOSS Audio Elite stereo to enjoy satellite radio's deep programming from coast to coast.

The BE7ACP.WX features a 7" touchscreen display that offers detailed system control and displays your media info. The front USB-C port lets you charge your phone and listen to media, while the rear USB-A port accesses CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Plus, you'll get two camera inputs, giving you the option of installing backup and front-view cameras.

This BOSS stereo is ready for a firmware update that offers compatibility with the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. You'll also be able to check out engine performance data and other vehicle info from the screen, even radar info from a compatible detector. Check out the Details section for more information.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

You'll need a wired connection to your parking brake to access settings and other features on this receiver. Your parking brake must be connected and set in order to view video on its screen.
