Boss Radio unit

Hey, I found this pretty decent head unit. http://www.amazon.com/Boss-840UBI-To.../dp/B0032FOJWU

I was wondering if any of you has had experience with Boss. I figure it looks pretty good, not too sure if it'll fit my 9. Does anyone know if it'll fit my IX?

The picture link is broken. Call that an omen. Anything that cheap can't be worth a crap, though.

This is the only one I can recommend:

It's not a simple deck, but it is an excellent unit and you wouldn't necessarily need an amp. I happen to have a brand new one I can sell, but you may be happier with an mid/low-level Alpine.

^ I'm not really feelin the look of it. I want a sleek simple looking one yet functional so I can listen to mp3 discs, ipod, etc. So, recently, I found this http://www.amazon.com/Boss-840UBI-To.../dp/B0032FOJWU. It has bluetooth feature , usb, sd, and some other goodies. I like the design and its functionality, but just not sure if it;ll fit my 9. =/

Sure, it will fit. FYI, all single-DIN decks fit the single-DIN radio slot in the Evo. If I may be blunt, the Boss deck is garbage. You're looking at bells and whistles with no regard for quality. Car audio, equipment-wise, is crap to begin with and you're shooting for some of the worst of the worst.

Damn. lol I'm targeting a Pioneer DEH-2200UB right now. About same price. I might go with the Pioneer as soon as I sell both the Buschur and Perrin exhausts.
