2.2. Pre-Installation Test
It is crucial to test the unit before full installation to prevent issues. Due to potential impacts during transit, the product should be tested for functionality first.
- Connect the red and yellow wires of the power cord together to the positive terminal of a 12V DC car battery.
- Connect the black wire of the power cord to the negative terminal of the battery.
- Wait for 10 seconds.
- Press each button on the unit to verify it powers on and functions normally. If it starts, it's ready for installation. If not, re-check connections and refer to the troubleshooting section.
2.3. Installation Steps
- Separate the iron frame from the host unit.
- Insert the iron frame into the car radio installation window.
- Secure the iron frame to the car using a screwdriver.
- Slide the main unit into the iron frame until it snaps securely into place.
2.4. Wiring Instructions (ISO Plug)
The ISO plug has two versions for the B jack (B① or B②). Ensure correct connections to avoid damage.
Important Wiring Notes:

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter and provides solutions.
5.1. Cannot Boot Normally
- Wiring Check: Ensure the yellow (B+), red (ACC), and black (GND) wires are correctly connected. Yellow to positive, red to key control, black to negative. Incorrect or incomplete connections will prevent booting.
- Fuse Check: If the unit doesn't boot despite correct wiring, check the fuse on the yellow wire. If the fuse is intact, try twisting the yellow and red wires together, then turn the key and press the power button.
- Short Circuit Protection: If fuses repeatedly burn out, it indicates a short circuit in the unit's protection circuit. This requires professional service.
- Original Car Wiring: Ensure the original car wiring is compatible and correctly matched. Do not directly plug the original car plug into the new unit if it's not designed for it.
5.2. Automatic Shut-down
- Cable Error: If the blue (automatic antenna power supply) cable is connected to the unit's power cable, it may cause automatic shutdown. Correct the wiring.
- Unstable Voltage: Test the unit with a stable 12V-5A power supply. If it still shuts down, the unit may be faulty.
5.3. Noise Issues
- Speaker Power: If the original speaker power is too low, increasing the unit's volume may cause noise. Avoid excessively high volume.
- Grounded Speaker Cable: Ensure speaker cables are not grounded. Connect them directly to the unit's speaker cables.
5.4. Remote Control Not Working
- Battery Check: Use a mobile phone camera to check if the remote control's IR emitter lights up when a button is pressed. If not, replace the battery.
5.5. Settings Not Saved (No Memory)
- Wiring Check: Ensure the yellow (B+) and red (ACC) wires are connected separately to their correct terminals (yellow to constant positive, red to ignition switch). If they are connected together or reversed, settings will not be saved.
5.6. Bluetooth Not Functioning
Turn on the unit, search for its Bluetooth name (SWL-BT) on your mobile phone, and connect. If issues persist, ensure the unit's Bluetooth is enabled and try restarting both devices.
5.7. Product Emits Smoke
Immediately replace the FUSE. If the problem persists, the internal circuit may be burned, requiring after-sales service.
5.8. Sound Cannot Be Adjusted
- Reset: Reset the unit or unplug and replug the power cord.
- Volume Knob: If the volume knob is broken, it may need replacement.
5.9. Reversing Camera Not Displaying
- Wiring Check: Verify correct and complete wiring for the reversing camera, including the reverse control line and video input.
- Camera Fault: If the camera's indicator light (if any) does not illuminate when properly wired, the camera itself may be faulty and require replacement.
5.10. USB Devices Cannot Be Played
Format the USB flash disk to FAT32. Re-download one or two songs and try again. If it still doesn't work, replace the USB flash drive.
5.11. FM Does Not Receive Radio Stations
- Antenna Connection: Ensure the antenna plug is fully inserted and the antenna line is not disconnected or damaged.
- Station Search: Perform an automatic station search (AMS/APS) or manually search using the previous/next buttons.
- Antenna Fault: If issues persist, unplug the antenna and try inserting a screwdriver or metal strip into the antenna port as a temporary antenna to check for reception.
5.12. No Sound After Installation / After a While
- Speaker Wiring: Check if any speaker cables are short-circuited or incorrectly connected. Reconnect any short circuits.
- Speaker Compatibility: Verify the number of speaker cables matches the original car's wiring. If the original car has only 2 speaker cables, you may need to re-route the wiring to support 4 speaker cables (2 per speaker).
- Unit Fault: If all wiring is correct, disconnect all speaker cables from the unit, then connect an external speaker to the gray and purple wires of the tail line. If there is sound, the car's speaker line is short-circuited or the speaker is damaged. If there is no sound, the unit is likely faulty.
