8. User Tips
- Power Connection for Settings Retention: If your settings (like radio presets or EQ) reset every time you turn off your car, double-check the wiring. The yellow 'B+' wire needs a constant 12V power supply from your car's battery, even when the ignition is off, to retain memory. The red 'ACC' wire connects to a switched 12V supply that turns on/off with the ignition.
- Screen Operation: The screen is motorized and will extend/retract automatically or via a dedicated button. It is not a manual pull-out screen.
- Navigation: This unit does not have built-in GPS. For navigation, use CarPlay or Android Auto by connecting your smartphone, which will utilize your phone's GPS capabilities.
- Compatibility: While designed for universal 1 Din slots, always verify the dimensions and wiring compatibility with your specific vehicle model before installation.
