A LIMITED EDITION TWINGO FOR MUSIC LOVERS

Renault and Sony have joined forces to introduce the exciting Twingo Walkman ® Limited Edition, a special version of the feisty, practical and connected city car that has been thought through especially for music fans. It was in the 1980s that the Sony-invented Walkman revolutionized music enjoyment by making it possible to listen to one's favourite music anytime, anywhere. In the 30 years that have elapsed since, more than 300 million Walkmans have been sold, while the term Walkman ® itself has become both a benchmark and a household name. Reintroduced by Sony in 2005 for Sony Ericsson cell phones, the Walkman ® name continues to enjoy an exceptional reputation among music fans of all generations.

Twingo – the feisty, practical and connected city car – lends itself perfectly as the basis for a limited edition car which places the emphasis on listening pleasure. Thanks to its Sony Bluetooth® radio-CD audio system and Walkman ® MP3 player, Twingo Walkman® Limited Edition is all about the enjoyment of music, both on the move and out of the car.

On the move listening: a Sony MEX BT3800 Bluetooth® radio-CD MP3 audio system The CD player of this audio system is compatible with MP3, WMA and AAC files. Thanks to its front panel-mounted USB and jack sockets, its outstanding connectivity means that music stored on any type of portable device or USB key can be played. That said, there is no need for a physical connection, since the Bluetooth® and audio streaming functions permit wireless playback of music stored on cell phones, too: • The Bluetooth® hands-free telephone kit allows calls to made and taken, and address books consulted in total safety. • The free Walkman ® MP3 can be connected via the USB or auxiliary socket, while the Quick-Browser function permits easy, intuitive scrolling through tracks stored on MP3 devices and USB keys. • Audio streaming provides instant, wireless access to favourite music stored on Bluetooth® cell phones.
