Built-in Bluetooth
With a built-in Parrot Bluetooth interface, you can wirelessly connect your Bluetooth capable mobile phone to listen to calls through your car's audio system. Answer calls, dial using a 10-digit key screen, dial from your phone book, and more, for safe and convenient hands-free calling. A built-in microphone is included or you can add the optional RCB199 external mic.
If you have a cell phone or audio player with Bluetooth, you can also stream your music directly through the system, complete with playback controls for compatible devices. HFP/HSP/OPP/A2DP/AVRCP/DUN/PBAP Bluetooth protocols are supported.
Superior iPod and iPhone Connectivity
USB connection enables complete control of your iPod including video playback (add the optional CCA748 video cable). Browse your iPod/iPhone's contents and settings, and control playback right from the receiver.
HD and SAT Radio Ready
Connecting the THD400 lets you enjoy listening to digitally broadcast radio programs with all their superior quality and helpful information. This includes iTunes Tagging capability, so if you hear a song on the radio that you like, you can tag it to download later from the iTunes Store. Save time finding and accumulating the tunes you want.
You can also connect to a Sirius Satellite Radio receiver without any need for a interface box--and enjoy over 130 channels of music, news, talk shows, sports and traffic information with digital quality sound throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Rear Vision Camera RCA Input
This RCA input enables you to smoothly connect a rear camera to display the area behind your vehicle. The increased view encourages and facilitates safer driving.
Front/Rear AV Inputs
NX501 is equipped with AV input terminals on the front and rear of the unit to enable enjoyment of content from an external connected source. The rear RCA inputs are ideal for permanent installations, while the front pin jack type input will come in handy for quick connection of portable audiovisual sources.
8ch/2V RCA Output with Subwoofer Control
With 3 sets of RCA outputs, you are free to add external power amplifiers to create a more powerful, sophisticated audio system. Also, independent volume control is enabled for the subwoofer so you can adjust the level of bass output to your liking at any time, regardless of the output level of the other channels.
Two of the channels are used for rear zone programming, allowing back seat passengers to enjoy different programming than those in the front.

Clarion NX501 6.2" Double-DIN Navigation Multimedia Control Station Reviews
26 of 29 people found the following review helpful Great Interface but not ready for prime time., By G. Spicuze (Rhode Island, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Clarion NX501 6.2" Double-DIN Navigation Multimedia Control Station (Electronics) I just purchased this headunit from Amazon 7 days ago. I am now packing it for a return. I absolute love the interface, scrolling/swipe, and features. I can't, however, deal with the issues. It seems like Clarion got to a beta stage and just rushed it to release.PROS Gorgeous interface Swiping / Scrolling is seamless iPhone like usability Comes with Sirius, BT, Nav, and iPod cables ! CONS My issues are: 1) The Clarion advertised RCB199 external microphone does NOT work with the unit. This was confirmed by Clarion's technical support themselves. The gentleman on the phone said that an engineer is making a hardware change to fix the issue. Even so, it is unacceptable for Clarion to advertise this optional mic if it does NOT work with the unit. What were they thinking? I spent hours trying to figure out how to get it to work all to find out that they lied in the product description! The internal BT...

It sounds fantastic has all the options i wanted the navigation features and speed alerts come in handy, I've had it installed for 3 weeks and Just really got used to the menus. Would have gotten 5 stars except today the navigation function wont load. i was out using the system it was finding all the places i needed to go but on my 3rd stop of the day after i started my car the nav software loaded, asked me for the language preference and when i selected English it proceeded to boot then hung and rebooted the entire radio. I have reset defaults, disconnected the power to try and reset no go. Everything else still works only the navigation wont load. I am restoring my memory chip (made a backup) hopefully it's just the chip (windows reported an issue when i plugged it in) if that dose not work i will be calling clarion... Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful Everything I had been looking for, By Doc Cisco (PG, Utah) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Clarion NX501 6.2" Double-DIN Navigation Multimedia Control Station (Electronics) The NX501 has been installed now for three weeks. I'm using the GPS, HDTuner and External Mic. I also installed the Steering Wheel Controls and a SW Relay.Installation took about 3 hours in my 2008 Tacoma. Configuration of the settings was very straight forward. I'm streaming Pandora from my BlackBerry and also have a USB drive in the glove box loaded with 4 GB of audio. Bluetooth for both audio and phone are very clear and syncing is very simple. It was worth every penny even though I only budgeted $400 originally for the head unit. Audio is clear, it switches between functions seamlessly and the touch screen is very functional. There are two issues that I'm working on: 1) Nav audio seems muted even though the audio setting is turned up all the way and 2) The head unit dimmer doesn't seem to integrate with my truck even though there is a wire for dimming... |
