Expansion Module – “Plug and Play” Hub
Panasonic opens the door to connectivity with the launch of the revolutionary Expansion Module. Ever since we first brought multimedia entertainment into the car cabin, consumers have been saying things like, “I wish I could show you what’s in my camcorder,” and “If only I could plug in a real game console”. More recently, “It would be great to access the thousands of tunes in my iPod®!”
Panasonic has been listening. The industry-first Expansion Module is our easy and elegant solution to all your wishes. Once connected to any of our new top-of-the-line head units, the Expansion Module becomes your in-car hub. Imagine! Plug in and play mini-DV tapes over our new overhead monitor. Plug in and play the latest video game titles on a state-of-the-art console. Plug in a DVD changer and play your movie collection. And of course, it is also ready for the ubiquitous iPod®, giving you easy access to your huge library of music, audio books and podcasts.
Bluetooth® Unit - “Hands Free” Safety
Our Bluetooth® expansion kit is a complete solution for anyone who uses a mobile phone behind the wheel. The kit has everything you need to connect a Bluetooth®-ready mobile phone for safe “hands free” operation including a handy Push-to-Talk switch and a microphone with easy mounting bracket. It can be easily connected directly to our new head units or Expansion Module.

WMA, MP3, and Smart File Management
Play music stored in the popular MP3 (MPEG Layer-3) audio compression format or the new Windows Media Audio (WMA) – the advanced format that delivers near-CD audio quality in only half the space of an MP3 file. Panasonic lets you do both! MP3 and WMA music files can be downloaded from online music stores via the Internet or "ripped" from your CD library. Then just create a custom disc of your favourite tracks by burning them onto a CD-R or CD-RW for easy loading in the Panasonic car audio sys- tem. Of course if you have our new iPod®-ready system, just load your iPod® and connect.
Your CD-R or CD-RW can be packed with up to 20 CDs of songs, giving you access to a vast selection of music. The familiar PC-like interface of Panasonic's powerful file management system makes it easy to navigate through a maximum of 999 files and folders per disc. Navigation of the tree of folders and files is simple, and the user can instantly call up the display of ID tag information such as artist names and track titles for quick confirmation. The system also offers one-touch selection of six convenient Play modes: Random, Repeat, Scan, Folder Random, Folder Repeat, and Folder Scan.
