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.

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Great Interface but not ready for prime time.
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...

great unit but has its issues.
Originally posted on crutchfield but they won't let me edit it or update my comments.
I love this head unit. 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...
Great, but not without its flaws
There were mixed reviews on this unit, but I've been pretty happy with it. It is more responsive and not quite as laggy as other units I've researched. The maps are decent, but not quite as detailed as I would like them to be. The startup time could be greatly improved in my opinion, but I have a remote start on my truck, so that tends not to be a problem for me.
The thing I absolutely hate the most is that when you are navigating somewhere, the music just cuts out, then you hear the voice guidance with the faint sound of your music in the background, then the music comes back on... then two seconds later, another prompt comes up in the same manner (if you are approaching a turn or exit). It wouldn't be nearly as bad if the music was mixed with the voice prompts in a better fashion.
If you buy this, be sure not to put anything on the SD card that came in the unit, you will then need to buy a new one from Clarion. You cannot, as far as I know, use your own SD card...
