Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
IMX6 Processor: The JBL by Harman Legend CP100 features an on-board IMX6 processor for lightning fast response from Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
Apple CarPlay: Apple CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your USB-connected iPhone 5 or newer (running latest iOS version) with Lightning-connector in the car, while you stay focused on the road. Apple CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and integrates them into the Legend CP100. Apple CarPlay offers an incredibly intuitive way to make calls, view maps, listen to music, and access messages from your compatible iPhone through the Legend CP100 in-dash receiver. With Apple CarPlay, you can control these functions from the Legend CP100 receiver's 6.75" touchscreen or activate Siri for minimized distraction.
- Maps: Through Apple CarPlay, the power and simplicity of Apple Maps comes to your dashboard; complete with turn-by-turn direction, traffic conditions, and estimated travel time. You can enter a new destination or choose a favorite or recent destination using the head unit's touchscreen or by simply asking Siri. CarPlay can also predict where you most likely want to go using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars.
- Phone: With Apple CarPlay, you can use the Legend CP100's interactive touchscreen or ask Siri to make calls, return calls, and check voicemail. To dial a phone number, simply press the front-panel "Push-to-Talk" button and Siri will ask you who you want to call. Using the touchscreen you can manually enter a phone number from the on-screen keypad, scroll through contacts, or select from recent and miss calls. In addition, you get access to your voicemails via touchscreen and Siri. When a call comes in, simply tap the "Phone" icon on the touchscreen to answer. You'll carry on your side of the conversation through the included external microphone, while the other party is heard through your vehicle's speakers.
- Text Messages: Apple CarPlay also lets you enjoy a better and safer way of text messaging with friends and family when you're on the road, through the receiver and Siri. Through your voice commands, Siri can send, read, and reply to your text messages so that you never have to glance at your phone while behind the wheel. When a new message comes in a banner will come across the screen and Siri will read back the message for you. Text messages cannot be read or typed from the head unit's touchscreen to prevent driver distraction.
- Music Library: CarPlay lets you access your music in your iPhone's music library, plus iTunes radio from the Legend CP100. You can browse your music by Playlist, Artist, Song, etc.. just like you would on your iPhone from the Legend CP100's touchscreen. You can also use Siri to find and play back your music. The Legend CP100's touchscreen will display song/artist information, as well as album art faded into the background. Tap the Now Playing icon on the receiver's touchscreen and see song, artist, album information with Album Art displaying in the background. From the Now Playing screen you also get basic playback function, like Play/Pause, Previous Next/Track, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Repeat/Shuffle.
- Audio Apps & Podcasts: CarPlay also supports additional audio apps that you've downloaded to your iPhone for enjoying podcasts, music, and radio - including Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio, TuneIn Radio, Slacker Radio, Vox, Stitcher, MLB.com At Bat, CBS Radio News, NPR One, OverCast, Audiobooks.com & Audible. Control them from the head unit's touchscreen or Siri just like you would from your iPhone. Your iPhone's touchscreen remains unlocked during CarPlay connection, so you are able to access additional music apps and listen to them through the receiver; however these apps offer no control or display information from the head unit's touchscreen.
- Other Functions: Within the CarPlay's touchscreen menu is a circular icon which acts like the back button on your iPhone. In addition there is an "Main Menu" icon which exits CarPlay and takes you back to the receiver's Home Menu.
- Apple CarPlay is compatible with iPhone 5 or newer running the latest iOS version.
- Bluetooth hands-free phone and wireless music streaming cannot be used while Apple CarPlay is being used with a connected iPhone.
Android Auto: The Legend CP100 also supports the Android Auto app for Android smartphones running OS Lollipop (5.0 or newer). Your compatible Android smartphone must be connected to the receiver's rear-panel USB port and be paired via Bluetooth (your vehicle's parking brake needs to be engaged to initially setup Android Auto). Android Auto extends the Android platform into your car in a way that's purpose-built for driving and automatically brings you useful information and organizes it into simple on-screen "card-style" pop-ups that appear just when they're needed. It's designed to minimize distraction so you can stay focused on the road ahead. Features of Android Auto include -
- Google Speech Technology: The receiver enhances your Android Auto experience even more by incorporating Google's Speech Technology using the head unit's external microphone and your car speakers for voice command and text-to-speech, which makes using Android Auto and all of its integrated applications fast, easy, and safe. You will need to press the "Push-to-Talk" button on the front-panel to activate Google Speech.
- Maps: Use Google Maps to get where you're going with on-screen maps, voice-guided navigation, live traffic information, lane guidance, and more. Select your destination by using the head unit's touchscreen or just say where you want to go through the unit's external mic and Google Speech Technology.
- Phone & SMS: With Android Auto you get access to your contacts and messages through the receiver while keeping your eyes on the road. Use the unit's external mic and Google Speech Technology to make a phone call, or have your text-messages read aloud to you while you concentrate on the road ahead; you can even reply to texts via voice command.
- Music: Access your Android smartphone's music library
through the receiver via
Google Play Music. You'll be able to browse music like you do on your
smartphone with song/artist information display and album art faded into the
background. Use the
receiver's touchscreen to select songs or just say what song you want to
listen to through the head unit's external mic and Google Speech Technology.
You also get access to online music and radio stations from
Amazon Music,
Pandora,
Spotify,
iHeart Radio,
Slacker Radio, &
Tune-In. Music apps include song and station browsing, plus song/artist
information and album art or station logo.
Notes:
- Android smartphones with a USB Type-C connector (including the Pixel) may not function without appropriate USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable.
- Bluetooth hands-free phone and wireless music streaming cannot be used while Android Auto is being used with a connected Android smartphone.
1A Charging: The receiver's USB connection provides 1.0A of current to power and charge your connected Apple iPhone or Android smartphone when your vehicle's ignition switch is set to the 'ACC' or 'On' position (if your mobile device has no initial battery charge, then the unit will not recognize it).
Optional USB Extension Cable: The CP100's USB port is attached to the rear chassis via a 5" pig-tail, so you'll most likely need a USB extension cable (sold separately), or an additional Lightning-to-USB cable or microUSB-to-USB cable (both sold separately) that you can keep connected to the rear-panel USB in your vehicle.
Built-in Bluetooth
Bluetooth 3.0: The Legend CP100 features built-in Bluetooth 3.0 with support for hands-free communication and wireless audio streaming. The head unit's built-in Bluetooth allows you to make and receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music wirelessly from your smartphone to the head unit. In order to use Bluetooth wireless technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth Profiles -
- Hands-Free Communication: HFP (Hands Free Profile), PBAB (Phone Book Access Profile).
- Audio Streaming: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
- The JBL by Harman Legend CP100 does not offer auto reconnection for already paired devices. You will need to manually connect your phone each time you get in your vehicle.
- Bluetooth is not available when you are using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Multi-Device SSP Pairing: With Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), you can easily pair a Bluetooth enabled phone to the Legend CP100 without having to enter pin codes or go through complicated settings (your phone must also support SSP). You can register multiple Bluetooth source devices with the CP100 receiver, but only one can be connected and used at a time for hands-free communication and wireless audio streaming.
Hands-Free Communication (w/ External Mic): The Legend CP100 supports Bluetooth hands-free communication from your Bluetooth enabled smartphone. You can answer an incoming call from the head unit's touchscreen and carry on a phone conversation hands-free. The included external microphone carries on your side of the conversation while your car's speakers are used to hear the other person. From the receiver's touchscreen you can make a call by entering the phone number using the on-screen keypad, selecting a contact from your phonebook list, or using the call history log of received/dialed/missed calls.
Wireless Audio Streaming: The Legend CP100 allows you to play back stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet, or audio player. You can control basic music playback functions (Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track) from the in-dash receiver. Advanced music navigation will still need to be done through your Bluetooth mobile device. This unit also displays song/artist/album information (no album art) from connected Bluetooth source devices. When an incoming call or outgoing call is in progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be muted so you can take your call. Once the call is finished, your streaming music will resume.
Touchscreen & Remote Control
Touchscreen Display: The JBL by Harman Legend CP100 features a fixed 6.75" touchscreen LCD monitor. The screen has a resolution of 800 x RGB (3) x 480 with 1,152,000 total pixels. This unit has touchscreen controls with interactive graphics, making menu navigation easy.
- Day or Night Mode: You can brighten or dim the display by selecting either "Day" or "Night" mode.
- Date & Time: You can view date (year/month/day) and time (hour/minutes) from the touchscreen display.
- System Language: You can choose between English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or German text the on-screen menu.
Front-Panel Buttons: In addition to the touchscreen display, the Legend CP100 features three push-buttons on the front-panel to control Power, Volume, and Push-to-Talk (for Apple CarPlay & Android Auto).
Steering Wheel Interface Ready: The Legend CP100 features a SWC (steering wheel control) input which lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel control adapter from Metra (120ASWC1, sold separately).
Audio & Tuner Section
CTA2006 Compliant Amplifier: The JBL by Harman Legend CP100 is equipped with a 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) amplifier. The power specifications for the Legend CP100 are compliant with the CTA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers.
2V/4CH Preamp Outputs: The Legend CP100 is outfitted with 2-volt front & rear preamp outputs for adding an external amplifier. This unit is not equipped with a subwoofer output. The front & rear preamp outputs are also not switchable to a sub out.

AM/FM Tuner: The Legend CP100 features a built-in AM/FM tuner with Manual, Seek, Direct, and Preset tuning. You can store up to 10 FM and 10 AM presets (for a total of 20 radio preset stations).
Beep Confirmation: An audible beep tone confirms each function selection. The beep tone can be disabled/enabled in the Setup Menu.
USB & Camera Inputs
USB MSC Playback: In addition to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the rear-panel USB port can be used to connect a USB mass storage class device (like a USB thumbdrive) for music playback. The unit supports MP3 music files loaded onto a USB MSC device formatted in FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS. The Legend CP100 provides playback & search controls, as well as displays song/artist/album info (no album art). You can browse your music by Artist, Album, Genre, Playlist, or Folder. Repeat and Shuffle playback is also supported.
Rearview Camera Input: The Camera Input consists of a Composite video RCA jack for connecting an optional rearview camera (sold separately - see Accessories tab) in order to display the area behind your vehicle on the head unit's touchscreen. When an optional backup camera is connected to this unit, the rearview image is displayed on the screen when your vehicle is placed in reverse gear (purple/white wire must be connected to reverse light wire of vehicle). Automatic video switching takes approximately 0.5 seconds.
- The rearview camera feature is meant as a back-up aid only; never solely rely on the rearview camera when backing-up. In addition to using the rearview camera, always look behind you to make sure everything is clear when backing up your vehicle.
- This unit does not offer parking guidelines.
