The 7-inch QVGA color LCD features an intuitive graphical user interface for operation of your iPod, Sirius Satellite Radio, CD and DVD playback, including full access to DVD menus. The QVGA LCD screen offers high resolution viewing for DVDs as well as AUX connected sources. It's fully motorized, and folds safely into the unit when not in use.

24-Bit D/A Converter for Superb Sound Reproduction
Fully enjoy the sonic impact of DVD movie soundtracks or music videos. 24-bit technology actually oversamples the digital signal, providing excellent results that just weren't possible with older 16-bit systems.

With the VZ409, you can connect the NP509 hideaway navigation system to upgrade to a car navigation system at any time. Count on voice guidance messages and high-resolution map displays to get you safely to your destination. Optional SA509 required for installation.

Bluetooth Interface Ready
Add the optional BLT370 for hands-free calling in your vehicle.

Connect to the Sirius Satellite Radio receiver without the need for a interface box. One sirius Tuner and one interface cable, and you are ready to receive over 130 channels of music, news, talk shows, sports and traffic information with CD quality sound throughout the USA.

Media Versatility
Play back your DVDs (including burnt DVD-R/RWs and DVD+R/RWs) and CDs (CD-DA and CD-R/RWs too).

You can also enjoy MP3/WMA files burnt to disc. ID3 tags such as artist and song info are displayed on the unit's screen.

AM/FM Radio
Catch up on the news or listen to your favorite stations. Get quick access to your favorites with 18 FM and 6 AM station presets.

iPod Direct Control
Add the optional CCUIPOD1 and enjoy full control of your iPod while it charges.

AV Input/Output
Use external devices (such as video game systems, etc.) using the rear AV input.

Or, add a second monitor in the back seat using the AV output.

Room to Grow
With 40 Watts through four channels, and a 24-bit D/A converter, the VZ409 gives you great sound to start. But it also includes 6 channels of preamp output and a subwoofer volume control, so you can easily add external amplifiers and build a monster system.

Remote Included
A full-featured remote control is included. The VZ409 is also OEM steering remote ready, if you'd prefer control right at the helm.

Great Product
 
Review Date: October 16, 2009
Reviewer: Tom Andrews, SoCal
This headunit is great. Everything runs and sounds great. There are only two problems I have with it: I installed it myself, and I had an extremely hard time connecting the brake cord to my trucks parking brake signal cord, and as of now, I have yet to get it connected. The other problem is the iPod interface. It loads very quickly, but the scrolling is not very intuitive and it takes a very long time to scroll through the song/artist/album lists. Other than that, though, this is an extremely easy to use unit that is well worth the cost.
High quality product that works after install, but the screen slightly shakes all the time...Im not going to send it back n wait

Im not going to wait or pay more $ to get it istalled again when it does work. Its frustrating though that the text shakes slightly on the touchscreen almost all the time. Besides that, good deal.
not bad

Reviewer: D. Hahn, Boston
The only things I do not like about it is that there is no display when it is closed. It would of been nice for Clarion to at least put a clock on the front display area on this product. The other issue I have with it is that the volume knob is really small, and you cannot adjust it on the touch screen. If you have big fingures and do not want to use the remote while driving move on to another unit with larger knobs.
