In addition, like the DPX - 9100MJi, it has a built-in mobile phone hands-free function that can automatically receive calls . .

Equipped with a newly developed high-performance pickup and high-precision servo circuit, it can also read music signals recorded not only on CD-R but also on CD-RW *2 . The 2DIN size body is equipped with a bank-type 3+1 in-dash MD changer that allows you to enjoy up to 3 MDs as a changer. .
