BOSS Audio Elite BE12ACP.WX

Big-screen fun

BOSS Audio delivers big-time entertainment and on-the-road info with the big-screen BE12ACP.WX digital multimedia receiver. With an expansive 12" capacitive touchscreen, easy-to-use buttons, and quick access to Siri® or Google Assistant, this receiver makes accessing entertainment and information easy. The receiver's big screen "floats" in front of the chassis, while its down-firing selectable-color LED bezel lights light your vehicle's interior. As an added bonus, the screen detaches easily for theft protection. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ provide the best smartphone integration available in car stereos today — and you don't even have to plug in your phone.

Apple CarPlay

CarPlay integrates your iPhone into the driving experience with voice control. That means easy access to your music library, audiobooks, phone, messages, navigation, and many third-party streaming music apps, all with the sound of your voice. Learn more at www.apple.com/ios/carplay.

Android Auto

If you're an Android user, this receiver is ready for your phone, too. Android Auto integrates your Android device into the driving experience without distracting you from the job at hand — driving. You'll have easy voice access to Google Maps, weather, music, apps, and text messages. And you can make calls, too, of course. Get more info at www.android.com/auto.

Bluetooth and more

Bluetooth enables wireless streaming from your phone for music services, podcasts, and audiobooks. Plus, you'll be able to take and make calls while keeping your hands on the wheel — an awesome safety feature when you're behind the wheel.

And if you have music files on a flash drive you'd like to enjoy, including high-res FLAC files, Boss makes listening to stored music easy. Just plug your drive into the USB port and start listening.

If you're looking for radio stations that won't fade away as you leave the city limits, add a SiriusXM tuner and a paid subscription to this Boss to enjoy satellite radio's deep programming from coast to coast.

Room to upgrade

BOSS Audio builds in three sets of preamp outputs for amplifiers to boost the power of your speakers and subs. The easy-to-use controls on the 12" touchscreen display make system control and using the 13-band equalizer for sound-sculpting a breeze.

Ready for iDatalink Maestro upgrade

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.

Smartphone note: If you're going to use your smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility 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.
