The PP107217 is the Freightliner match to the Aptiv PP107200: a heavy-duty AM/FM/Weather Band radio with a front 3.5mm aux jack, front USB, and built-in Bluetooth. No extras — just a durable head unit for a commercial cab. It is made for Freightliner trucks 2017 and newer with the digital instrument panel, so it works with the newer dash display and steering wheel controls. On those trucks the factory harness plugs straight in. Older Freightliners should use a standard Aptiv model instead, such as the PP107200.
This unit is for 2017-and-newer Freightliner Cascadia cabs with the digital cluster. Trucks built without a factory radio may need a dealer to turn on steering wheel and instrument-cluster parameters. Install it in an older Freightliner and those controls may not work.

Utilizing the vehicle's audio system and a remote mic* - up to 10 devices can be easily stored in the radio memory for fast pairing.

Front Panel USB Port - gives a direct connect location for memory devices with USB interface, to play stored music and/or charge the device (2.1 amps). The USB also allows iPod control through the radio front panel buttons.
