Clarion Pu9469a Exclusive -

The standard PU9469A allows for two zones (Cockpit and Auxiliary). The Exclusive variant bumps this to four independent zones. You can control volume, EQ, and subwoofer level for the Tower speakers, Cabin, Deck, and Swim platform individually, all from the main display.

This unit has no native Bluetooth, no USB, and no AUX input (unless you find the specific Clarion Aux adapter box that plugs into the CD changer port—these are rare and expensive).

Solution: You will need an FM Modulator (cheap but low audio quality) or a CD Changer emulator (like a BT adapter that plugs into the round 13-pin port on the back).
