Does anyone know anything about the Boss branding and its reliability?

I'm close to purchasing a head unit from strathfield a product similar to this:

http://www.bossaudio.com/main/773

Wondering whether there is any problems known with their head units that i should know about as I know their reliability in subs and amps aren't so flash...

Boss audio is crap.

Always has been, always will be.

Buy a brand name, headunits have dropped dramatically in price, so there is no reason not to get something will all the goodies for 400 bux or so at a max..

look in the dictionary under crap- you will find a pile of this stuff there.

I personally went through a large amount of Boss gear when I was in school and had no job... It's not good.

Blew the amps all the time and the headunits are cheap and nasty...

would I do it again? Yes. It was cheap and taught me a lot.

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
