Clarion CZ505E review

Pairing your phone with this Clarion DAB via Bluetooth is effortless.

Clarion CZ505E
Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Best price: £149.99 Type: Single DIN

Pairing your phone with this Clarion DAB via Bluetooth is effortless, and then it’s just as easy to make calls because the microphone is built into the head unit. You can stream music wirelessly, too, although there’s also a front-mounted USB port if you’d prefer to physically connect your device. The CZ505E features an auxiliary input as well. But we found navigating through the system’s various menus using the volume knob could prove a little tricky.
