    2. Audio Head Unit


      1. In consideration of the unity with the instrument panel, a uniquely sized audio head unit is provided.

      2. A Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT LCD) is used for the multi-display of the radio and display receiver assembly. The multi-display shows the audio screen, Bluetooth hands-free screen, vehicle information screen, etc. and can be operated using touch operation.

      3. Discs containing MPEG audio layer-3 (MP3) files and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files can be played.

      4. Discs with the marks shown below can be played.

        A01LPD4

    3. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB)


      1. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) reception is available. This mostly prevents broadcast interference, achieving clear reception with high quality sound.

      2. The time shift operation function can be used to play back DAB programs at a later time.

        Tech Tips

        The amount of playback possible depends on the bit rate of the DAB station to be recorded, the amount of DAB unit memory, and the time at which reception of the broadcast began.

    4. Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL)


      1. The Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) function automatically adjusts the sound volume in order to enable clear audio quality even when vehicle noise increases (as vehicle noise increases, the volume is turned up, etc.).

      2. Vehicle speed signals are received from the combination meter assembly and used for ASL control.

    5. USB Audio System


      1. A USB port is provided that enables operation of a USB memory device, portable audio player (USB type), iPhone, iPod, iPod classic, iPod nano or iPod touch.

          Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) Version 1.4 or higher Recommended

    7. Bluetooth Hands-free System


      1. The Bluetooth hands-free system allows the user to make or receive a call without taking their hands off the steering wheel when the system is linked with a Bluetooth-compatible cellular phone.

        Specification / Profile Version
        Bluetooth Specification Version 1.1 or higher Required
        Version 2.1+EDR or higher Recommended

        *2: Models with touch screen system (with extension module)

        Tech Tips


        • The touch screen system is compatible with the PIM (Personal Information Manager) applications.

        • The operation of the interrupt call function of the Bluetooth hands-free system may vary with the Bluetooth phone or the telephone company that is used.

          A01LPG0 "Bluetooth" is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

        • Some profiles described above may not be supported by the system depending on the audio head unit equipped.

        • If the specification of the connected Bluetooth phone is lower than the recommended or does not support the functions required, the available functions may be limited.

        • Registration and connection of a Bluetooth phone is not available when only Dial-up Networking Profile (DUN), Object Push Profile (OPP), Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) and MAP (Message Access Profile) are supported.

      2. When a Bluetooth phone is connected to the navigation receiver assembly, e-mails and Short Message Service (SMS) messages received on the phone can be displayed or read out (Messages may not be displayed depending on the message service or profile that the connected Bluetooth phone supports.)

    8. Voice Recognition Search System


      1. Due to the Grapheme to Phoneme (G2P) function of converting sounds into text, a song in the USB audio system can be searched for by saying an artist name, album name, title or playlist name.

    9. "GreenEdge" Speakers


      1. "GreenEdge" speakers that efficiently convert electricity to sound with less sound corruption have been adopted. These speakers realize high sound pressure levels with low power consumption while still maintaining superb sound quality.

      2. Due to the adoption of acoustic lenses, the directionality of the speaker output is improved, enhancing the area where the acoustics are effective.

        A01LP7SE01

      3. The cloth diaphragm horns of the horn tweeters control the directionality of the peak sound output from the speakers, enabling a high sound pressure level that is superior in the mid range.

    10. Class H Amplifier


      1. A Class H amplifier is provided for the 8-speaker system. The amplifier controls the power supplied to the amplifier circuit in the most efficient way according to the received audio signals.

      2. The power consumption and heat generation of the Class H amplifier is small, minimizing the size of the heatsink and related parts. This realizes a compact and lightweight amplifier.

    11. Steering Pad Switch Assembly


      1. Switches that the driver often uses are provided on the steering wheel for convenience.

  2. MAJOR DIFFERENCE
