BOSS Audio Systems 820BRGB Double-DIN Bluetooth Car Stereo

Compact and feature-rich, the 820BRGB replaces a standard double-din head unit to add wireless audio streaming, phone integration, and flexible wiring options for aftermarket speakers. It omits a CD/DVD drive to prioritize modern inputs like Bluetooth, USB, and aux while offering pre-amp outputs for easy system expansion. The faceplate and display support millions of color combinations so you can match the interior lighting of most vehicles.

How does Bluetooth improve driving convenience with this unit?

The built-in Bluetooth lets you stream music wirelessly and handle phone calls without picking up your phone, reducing distractions. A built-in microphone captures your voice for hands-free conversations while the stereo routes audio through your car speakers.

• Answer/make calls with hands-free control via steering wheel or front panel.
• Wireless audio playback for apps like Spotify and Pandora.
• Phonebook and call audio through the car’s speaker system.
• Built-in mic for clear two-way calling without attaching extra hardware.

What inputs and outputs are available for connecting devices and speakers?

The 820BRGB provides multiple inputs for modern devices and preamp outputs for adding speakers or a subwoofer. This setup supports both simple upgrades and more involved custom installs.

• Front USB port for music playback and device charging.
• Auxiliary input for direct wired connections to MP3 players or phones.
• Front, rear, and subwoofer pre-amp outputs to power external amplifiers or active speakers.
