Boss BE10ACP Receiver review: Add CarPlay to your vehicle at a low entry-price The Boss BE10ACP CarPlay Receiver head unit and the display.
Rather than being a double-DIN unit that would keep the display within the main unit's dimensions, the display is mounted so it sticks out a short distance from the front of the unit itself.
The problem in many cases is that you could end up needing to use a single-DIN head unit, a compact size that doesn't necessarily offer space for a display.
The design does have the pitfall of potentially blocking vents and other dashboard elements, but it's only really a problem if there's a lot of controls and vents surrounding the head unit's space.
CarPlay has come a long way since its release, and four years after install, the Boss BE10ACP remains an affordable gateway to integrating Apple technologies into your car.
