Overview
The Boss Audio 616UAB is a single DIN Bluetooth car stereo built without a CD or DVD drive, aimed at drivers who want wireless phone audio and USB playback in place of a factory deck.
Dropping the disc drive keeps the unit compact enough to fit the standard single DIN opening that most older and mid-range vehicles use. Bluetooth handles calls and streaming, while a USB port covers wired playback and charging. It sits at the simple end of the aftermarket stereo range, without a touchscreen or navigation display.
- Single DIN chassis
- Bluetooth calling and streaming
- USB playback and charging
- AM/FM radio tuner
Who it's for
Fits drivers replacing a worn-out or disc-only factory radio who mainly stream music and podcasts from a phone. Not for anyone who still relies on CDs or wants a screen for backup camera video.

Performance notes
