Built-in Bluetooth Hands-free Calling

USB connection enables complete control of your iPod including video playback. Also "Works with iPhone" certified to bring its communication and entertainment capabilities into your car.
HD Radio Ready with iTunes Tagging
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.
Sirius Direct Connect Ready
Connect to any Sirius Direct Connect Satellite Radio receiver without any need for an interface box and enjoy over 130 channels of music, news, talk shows, sports and traffic information with digital quality sound throughout the United States and Canada.
Two AV AUX Inputs / CCD Input
VZ400 is equipped with two RCA jacks for AV AUX input. In addition to being able to hook-up an external video source for viewing in your car, the inputs also accept video signals from Clarion's rear vision CCD camera which lets you see the area behind your car for safer driving and parking.
Touch Panel Controlled GUI
The GUI (Graphical User Interface) shows large icons that are highly visible and easily recognizable at a glance. And thanks to the touch panel screen, accessing each function is as intuitive as touching its icon. This very straightforward system lets the driver keep his attention on the road, and enables front seat passengers to use any desired function without the need to "learn" anything. What's more, since the vast majority of functions are controllable from the touch panel, there are only 4 physical buttons on the unit for the most basic and commonly-used functions.
Navigation Touch Panel Operation
The NP400 hide-away navigation system can be connected to the VZ400 directly and controlled through its touch panel. So with this multimedia station, you can upgrade to a car navigation system at any time. Count on voice guidance messages and high-resolution map displays to get you safely to your destination.
6ch/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.
Low-Pass Filter for Subwoofer
Switching on the Low-Pass Filter (LPF) will send only the low frequency range through specified outputs to ensure superb performance with a connected subwoofer. A must if you have or plan to add a subwoofer to your system.
