| Adapter does not fit | Incorrect harness type identified | Double-check your vehicle's existing harness configuration (6+6 Pin vs. 5+7 Pin) to ensure it matches the adapter's intended use. |
8. User Tips
- Always verify the pin configuration of your vehicle's existing harness before purchasing and installing any adapter to ensure compatibility.
- When working with car electronics, it is good practice to disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent accidental short circuits.
- Route the cable carefully to avoid pinching or strain, which can lead to damage over time.
