Get your Bluetooth® on
Looking for a simple-to-use replacement for a factory radio that's seen better days? Clarion's CZ105BT CD receiver offers Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming, lots of music options, and sound-shaping tools to get the most out of your sound. Its simple display and button layout give you quick control over your music.
Hands-free calling
In addition to streaming audio with Bluetooth, you can pair your Android™ or iPhone® with the Clarion for hands-free calling. The CZ105BT includes a built-in microphone on the stereo's faceplate, so callers can hear you loud and clear. It also means you can save some installation time by not having to install a separate microphone.
Get your music going
You can satisfy your music fix by tuning in the sensitive AM/FM radio, sliding in a CD, and jacking a portable music player into the front aux input. The front-panel USB port and SD card slot behind the faceplate can handle all your MP3 and WMA files. You can link up your iPod or iPhone to the USB port to charge it and access even more music.
Added features
Once you've got the music going, you can shape your sound with the onboard 3-band equalizer or select one of the eleven EQ presets for a quick boost. When it's time for more power, the CZ105BT includes three sets of preamp outputs for adding an amp or a powered subwoofer. Clarion even includes a handy wireless remote control for quick access without reaching for the radio.
Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with this car stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and radio, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. You'll see the adapters that work with your vehicle when you add this receiver to your cart.

Radio works and does exactly what it's suppose to. I can't say enough on how helpful and accurate the install instruction and direction for car specific made this a easy DIY in my garage. Impressed me so much I will buy from Cruntchfield again before I pay for a radio to be installed
