You don't have to compromise when you buy an inexpensive car stereo — Clarion's CZ109 CD receiver offers an impressive list of features, some convenient options, and a cool look for under $100. Plus, Clarion puts the most important controls over on the left-hand side within easy reach of the driver, and includes a remote so your passengers can change the entertainment without bothering you.
The CZ109 plays all your CDs, even the discs you've filled up with MP3 and WMA files. A punchy built-in amp gives you plenty of clean power, while the Z-Enhancer Plus feature allows you to determine the character of the treble and bass controls. You'll also find the two sets of preamp outputs handy if outboard amplifiers and a subwoofer are in your future plans.
Your friends with iPods can plug into the front panel auxiliary input, so you can check out their playlists. Clarion's optional BLT370 Bluetooth® adapter will mute the music when you get a phone call, so you can listen to the conversation over the car speakers. You can also add an adapter that allows you to use your vehicle's steering wheel audio controls to run the CZ109.
