  • Check all power connections (16-pin harness to head unit, and harness to car cable).
  • Ensure the car's fuse for the radio is intact.
• Steering Wheel Controls Not Working:
  • Verify the CAN Bus Box is correctly connected (16-pin and 20-pin plugs).
  • Double-check the CAN Bus settings on your Android Head unit (manufacturer and car model selection).
  • Ensure the factory password was correctly entered if required for CAN Bus settings.
• Reverse Camera Not Displaying:
  • Confirm the 10-pin rear camera video cable is properly connected to the Android Head unit and the "CAM IN" connector on the harness.
  • Ensure your Android Head unit's software is configured to recognize the reverse camera input.
• No Audio or Poor Sound Quality (with SPDIF):
  • Verify the 20-pin AV cable connections for the SPDIF audio amplifier module (AUDIO-L, AUX L OUT, AUDIO-R, AUX R OUT).
  • Ensure your car originally had an SPDIF audio amplifier module and that the correct harness variant was used.
• Incompatible Connectors:
  • Always compare your car's original radio connectors with the product images before purchase. If they do not match, the harness may not be compatible.

If you are unsure about fitting or encounter persistent issues, please contact your head unit vendor or the product seller for support.

9. User Tips

• Verify Amplifier Presence: If your car (e.g., Santa Fe CRDI 2.2) has an original amplifier, ensure you select the correct harness variant that supports SPDIF audio amplifier modules. This is crucial for proper sound functionality.
• Confirm Steering Wheel Controls and Reverse Camera: This harness is designed to provide signals for steering wheel controls and reverse camera functionality to your Android head unit. Ensure your head unit is configured to utilize these signals after installation.
• Check Model Year for Compatibility: While a general compatibility list is provided, always cross-reference with your exact car model and year. For example, a KIA Cerato 2017 should fit, but always visually confirm the connectors.
• Factory Password: Keep a record of the factory password for your Android head unit, as it's essential for accessing CAN Bus settings. If you don't know it, consult your head unit's manual or vendor.
