FAQ
Q: What comes with the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB Multimedia Car Stereo?
A: The 616UAB unit is included, but you may need to purchase three aftermarket accessories to complete your installation: a dash kit, wire harness (connects car wiring to stereo wiring), and antenna adapter. You can use MetraOnline's vehicle fitment guide to find the part numbers you will need.
Q: Does the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB have a wire for amplifier turn on?
A: Yes, it does. The light blue wire on the radio itself is the antenna power wire. If using a plug and play wiring harness adapter or not good at reading wiring diagrams, refer to the car's wiring diagram to see which is the wire to the power antenna or fused input wire/ignition.
Q: Is the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB compatible with a Honda Odyssey 2007?
A: It should fit as long as you purchase the correct wiring adapter and dash mounting kit for your specific vehicle.

Q: How can I improve the AM frequency on the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB?
A: The antennae wire or wires need to be connected correctly for optimal AM frequency. Refer to the car's wiring diagram or consult a professional installer for assistance.

A: Yes, it will fit a Jeep Liberty 2003.
Q: Can I bridge two speakers instead of using four with the BOSS Audio Systems 616UAB?
