hey guys,
looks like that the radio maybe gets discontinued or we gonna see a newer model soon.
any how its on sale everywhere.
Homedepot, Lowes, amazon.com
Bosch is releasing an updated radio with Bluetooth.
Forgot where I seen pics of new one but its looks cool I wonder if the newer one is even more louder.

yeah i heard about that too. but i havent seen any pics or news about it.
the powerbox deluxe version is pretty cool, but discontinued from the us market.
New model has Bluetooth and an app for your phone to control the radio. Supposed to have up to 100′ range with bluetooth.
sounds pretty good to me. cant wait

would be nice if it comes with a remote like the powerbox deluxe.
looks like they didnt change anything. just added bluetooth to the regular powerbox
150 feet!! That’s awesome!! U thinking about picking it up Alex?
Powerbox 360S is now at $129 with coupons here and there maybe down to 100 or 110.
Powerbox 360C (bluetooth) gonna start at $199, release date unknown but this year.
not quite sure if i gonna buy it. Still saving money for Bosch’s blower. i heard it will be release in spring ’16 in germany…here prolly end of ’16 or unkown lol
It has remote control via a free Bosch app. The app is available now for Android. It will let you choose your streaming source, set an alarm, and even use your phone to make an announcement over the PB speaker. I hope it offers volume and radio control too. This definitely seems like an upgrade.madman_us wrote:

the app can do quite a bit. maybe they will add more features to it…
Looks like I have a new PB 360C coming my way. I will let you know how the app works.
sounds good…i hope the PB360S price gonna drop a bit more and i’ll buy that one….but im still interested in the 360C
PB360C is available online at Ohio Power Tool. $199 plus $50 shipping
then i would rather wait until it comes available at lowes or amazon
My 360C will be here tomorrow!!

Is the only main difference on the 360c the addition of bluetooth? I know it’s minor but I wish they could add a 12v charger into the radio. It would be nice to not have to drag out my radio and chargers.

I did get this today. It does not have a 12v battery charger…I wish it did also. It added bluetooth, but be warned they removed the SD slot and ability to play through the USB port. You have Bluetooth as a source, aux input, or the radio. The usb port is for charging your phone or ipod. Bluetooth works fine. I don’t see getting the 150′ they said it had as it’s range. The app is just an interface that fires up your Pandora or iheart radio etc. It lacks any real control of the radio through the app. It would have been nice if it could switch radio stations, etc. I still am happy with the bluetooth as I use Pandora all the time. At home I can use my tablet to connect to this. I will keep playing with it to see if there are any other features.
Hey thanks for the update. I’m not in the Bosch 18v line but I think this radio would still be nice to just leave plugged in at the shop. Then some day that might motivate me to get into their 18v stuff. Enjoy your tasty toons man!
