In addition, a "power flash" that blinks the power button after the engine is stopped to prevent theft, an "amplifier gain control" function that switches the output of the built-in amplifier according to the allowable input of the speaker, and a mobile phone connected to a hands-free system, etc. You can also use the "muting" function that temporarily mutes the volume of the audio when using the telephone or when the car navigation system is voice-guided.

In addition, the easy-to-operate rotary volume is placed on the right side according to the right-hand drive. In addition, it is equipped with an analog audio input terminal on the front.
