I see physical buttons. Already 10 steps ahead of the Alpine and Kenwood/JVC’s entry level options.
I feel like I’ve seen this announcement before 🙂 Jan 2016: https://www.ceoutlook.com/2016/01/05/jbl-returns-to-the-dash-with-399-carplay/
Looks Great! Modern look without being distracting. My customer’s are going to love the sub button! I hope the sound quality is at leaset above average (based on price).
Looks like more Boss garbage. Run away!
Harman does it’s own Q/A on every product with their name on it. So I would say you may have an uninformed opinion.
I sure hope you’re correct.
Alpine, Pioneer, and Kenwood have released some of the worst Chinese garbage radios the last few years for their entry level options at similar price points. They all claim they get those products as well, but it’s a night and day difference from the “China” radios at $300 and the true pioneer or kenwood built radios at $500 for example.
I’m not holding my breath.
