New Boss Audio Double-Din MARINE Radio MRCP9865A

Quote from chavey2

On my Kenwood, it also has 2 USB ports. I put one up through the dash for my phone mount. And then I put the 2nd one into a USB Port that fits into the stock switch location. See the bottom right plug. Yes, this is MyToy's mount, but those are stock switches and holes so you could put it into any of the unused stock switch spots. The plug is supposed to be waterproof and I have not had any problem with it.

chavey2 nice work. how did you hook-up the USB port in the dash through the stock switch location? Is there an adapter plate included or did you buy or fabricate one?

That's where I plan to put my android auto usb in the dashes existing empty slot. I already bought the usb and it does have a shroud. From what I've read, the other usb from the radio is for playing music. That's the one I want to hook to the glove box usb to play music. Probably will need adapters to do it.

VV11B40 Thats what i'm looking for. Where did you buy the USB that has the shroud?

Supposed to rain here tomorrow. I may start dismantling the dash. I'll keep everyone informed of how difficult it turns out to be. I'll also see if the usb I bought fits. There are 10 reviews on SlingMods. Would be nice if one or more were on here so they could give some insight on the install.

I'm betting it's just what I was looking for! Going to take the chance, if not no big deal. On order now!

Many thanks!

I would just about bet that it is on here, finding it might be the problem.

it will fit I bought the same one for the same install. Not a perfect fit as it will pull out if you pull the usb cord to hard. A dab of hot glue on top and bottom will hold it in and still make it easy to take out if needed.

I installed the Kenwood 5 channel amp and a subwoofer, one under driver and the other under the passenger seat

Removed dash getting ready for radio install. Looks like I cannot use the USB in the glove box to Hookup to the boss. No male or female end to it. So I'll get another usb and put in fash for music. The usb link I gave in a previous post fits perfectly. Instructions were really good on dismantling the dash etc.. only one issue. The covers by the mirrors have 2 screws that need to be removed. The instructions just say to pry off with tool. Well I broke 2 tabs off then discovered the screws. They are now setting with JBWeld in the basement. Here's some pics.

Just hooked up th Scosche harness. Had to use lift to make transmission connection. I have fat fingers. BOSS just arrived

Opened up to check out boss connections. There us a slew of wires. I'm hoping I just have to connect the 3 or 4 coming out of the Scosche harness. One thing I don't like is, there is a 15amp fuse on the back of the radio. If that ever blows you would need to dismantle the entire dash again to access it. Anybody know how to move that fuse via some kind of an extension?

Can I use this to move the 15amp fuse from the radio location to a more excusable location?

Haven't done it, but looks like it'd work for what your after. Glovebox where USB runs has space maybe to run that to?

Yep, ordered

I'm anxious to get feedback on the sound.

I have the stock 15' radio which sucks.

Changed the big speakers with cheap ones a little better than stock.

Curious how this sounds just swapping the radio.

I just started working on installing a new boss receiver with the stock front speakers and SSV roll hoop speakers (no amp). I'll let you know if and when I get it figured out.

I'm going to go slow and think the wiring through. I have all winter so no hurry.

Frankie55 when you match and cut wires let me know what wires match to the slings wires and where u made the cuts. Pics would be great. I'm kinda ignorant on this stuff.
