Key points
Aimed at drivers who value quick access to navigation and media, the BE7ACP-C combines a touch interface with voice assistant support for minimal distractions. BOSS Audio BE7ACP-C supports Siri and Google Assistant so you can ask for directions, read and reply to messages, and control music without taking your hands off the wheel. The touchscreen is capacitive for smooth responsiveness and the receiver accepts common media sources via USB, SD card, and Bluetooth for streaming apps like Spotify or Pandora.

For steering wheel control retention, the Metra ASWC-1 module is recommended according to the product notes.
