BQCC 7-inch 2Din Android Car Stereo User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing and using our BQCC car stereo. Before installation, please test the unit to ensure it functions correctly, as long journeys can sometimes affect the product. Always use the original power supply unit provided in the package. Incorrect power connections can lead to product malfunction or battery drain.

Important Power Connection Tips:

• Connect the yellow wire to the positive pole of the car battery. Incorrect connection may cause the product to reset and prevent settings from being saved.
• Connect the red wire to the ACC positive pole (ignition switch) instead of directly to the car battery's positive pole. This prevents the car player from draining the car battery when the car is turned off.

It is recommended to remove the protective film from the screen for clearer viewing during use.

2.4. Reversing Camera Installation

The reversing camera is typically installed at the rear of the car. Connect the camera's red socket to the power cable, and the yellow cable to the video cable. The red wire of the power cable and the video cable should be screwed together to the positive pole of the reverse lamp. The black wire of the power cable is not used. The other end of the video cable connects to the CAM video input interface on the back of the unit. The red line from the video cable connects to the reversing control line of the power line.

If a reversing camera is not installed, do not connect the REVERSE/BACK cable to any place. Leave it unconnected. Otherwise, the unit may display incorrectly or automatically enter reverse mode, potentially causing malfunction. If this occurs, disconnect the REVERSE/BACK line immediately.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their solutions. If a problem persists, contact customer support.

5.1. Power and Boot Issues

• Cannot boot normally:
  • Check the yellow, red, and black power wires. Ensure yellow is to positive, red to ACC (key control), and black to negative. Incorrect wiring is a common cause.
  • Verify that the original car wiring is compatible; non-standard wiring can cause issues.
  • Ensure the fuse on the yellow line is not broken. If not, twist the yellow and red wires together, turn on the key, and press the power button to test.
  • If fuses repeatedly blow, it indicates a short circuit in the unit's protection circuit. Professional repair is required.
• Automatic shut-down:
  • If the blue (automatic antenna power supply) cable is connected to the unit's power cable, it can cause automatic shutdown. Correct the wiring.
  • Unstable voltage can cause shutdowns. Test with a stable 12V-5A power supply. If it still shuts down, the unit may be faulty.
• Car radio shows time after turning off: This is a built-in clock function and cannot be removed. If undesired, you must unplug the power positively and negatively.

5.2. Audio and Display Issues

• No sound when playing music:
  • Check if your audio cable is suitable for the camera (if applicable).
  • Ensure there are no collisions or short circuits between speaker wires. Each speaker cable must be isolated.
  • Test with a single speaker connected to a group of audio cables to isolate the problem.
• No sound right after installation: This is usually due to a wiring error or a short-circuited original car speaker wire. Recheck all speaker connections.
• No sound after a while: Disconnect all speaker cables from the unit. Connect an external speaker to the gray and purple tail lines. If there is sound, the car's speaker line is short-circuited or the speaker is damaged. If no sound, the unit is broken.
• There is noise:
  • If the original speaker power is too small, noise may occur at high volumes. Reduce volume or replace speakers.
  • If the speaker cable is grounded, connect it directly to the unit's speaker cable.
• Sound cannot be adjusted: Reset the unit or unplug/replug the power cord. If the volume knob is broken, it can be replaced.
• Reversing camera does not display: This indicates wrong or missing wiring, or a broken camera. Refer to the installation method in Section 2.4.

5.3. Connectivity and Feature Issues

• Remote control cannot be used: Test the remote control's infrared emitter with a phone camera. If the light doesn't flash, replace the battery.
• Settings cannot be saved (no memory): Ensure the yellow and red lines are connected correctly (yellow to positive, red to key control). If they are reversed, simply switch their positions.
• Bluetooth not working: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. Search for 'SWL-BT' on your phone and pair. If issues persist, try another phone or unplug/replug the unit's power after 3 minutes.
• USB devices cannot be played: Format the USB flash disk to FAT32. Re-download songs and try again. If it still doesn't work, replace the USB drive.
• FM does not receive radio station: Ensure the antenna plug is fully inserted and the antenna is not disconnected or broken. Check signal strength in your location. If problems persist, try inserting a screwdriver or metal strip into the antenna port as a temporary antenna.
• GPS Map Update: Download the map update APK from our website or use a mobile phone's WIFI hotspot to download and install it directly. Copy to GPS ROM and set the navigation path.

5.4. Other Issues

• Product emits smoke: Replace the FUSE. If the problem cannot be resolved, the internal circuit is burned, and after-sales service is required.
