Heya all!

I just purchased my Levorg two days ago and got into slight problems already..

I have an 2014 2.0 liter GT-S JDM and would love to listen to some music but.. there's no bluetooth audio (really?? 2014 made car and no bluetooth) and not sure where the usb port is for the phone. The ones I find are next to the cigarette lighter and they say "power out".

System is Panasonic's CN-LR700D. Is there a firmware update that unlocks features?

Other than that I really like the car.

Welcome to the club! Hope you are enjoying the car.

Have a look on this thread as a few people had the same stereo and found ways to connect:

It’s more simple than you think! Buy this cable from eBay or somewhere online that you can where you are in the world (hopefully one of those links works..)

For Panasonic Car Radios Car Radio USB Cable 4-Pin USB Connector 100CM Length | eBay UK

Size: 100CM. Fits for Panasonic car radios. Due to factors such as brightness and light intensity, the actual color of the item may differ slightly from the image displayed on the website. 1 USB cable.

Pardon our interruption...

Then take out the head unit, remove the sticker covering the iPod/iPhone port right in the middle at the back and plug that cable in and route it some place handy. Then you can either plug directly into your phone or I bought a wireless CarPlay adaptor from Amazon and plugged that in instead. Connected the adaptor to my phone via Bluetooth and now it plays wireless Apple CarPlay as soon as I get in the car! Graphics are a bit dated compared to modern stuff but it’s only cost me £20 and is stil technically standard compared to ££££ for a new head unit. Music works, maps work etc.

Hope that helps / works!
