There’s quite a bit Android Auto and CarPlay can do that your run-of-the-mill infotainment system can’t. For starters, you get hands-free controls powered by the latest iterations of Google Assistant or Siri (depending on which OS you choose). You also get access to a range of familiar apps via the Boss BE7ACP-CFT’s big 7-inch touchscreen, including maps, music, and phone. You even get regular software updates to patch bugs and introduce new features over time.
The Boss BE7ACP-CFT highlighted in today’s deal comes with both Android Auto and CarPlay, so you can use whichever one works best with your phone. It has an AM/FM tuner if you’d like to listen to radio, as well as 10-band EQ for dialing in the right sound. Also, with some help from the included 7-inch touch display, you get a backup camera so that you can feel more confident when reversing your vehicle.
You can pick up the Boss BE7ACP-CFT today for $199.99 ($120 off). It comes with everything you need in the box, including the 7-inch monitor, wiring harnesses, mounting brackets, and more. If installing the infotainment system yourself seems daunting, you may wish to take your car to an expert audio installation shop. Finally, note that the Boss BE7ACP-CFT may not be compatible with all vehicles, so check your make and model before making a purchase.
