This product is a core adapter accessory designed for automotive aftermarket modification. Its purpose is to facilitate the replacement of an original car head unit with an aftermarket Android head unit. It ensures a perfect connection between the original car wiring harness interface and the aftermarket Android head unit interface, guaranteeing stable operation of all Android head unit functions and preventing functional failures, signal abnormalities, or other issues caused by interface incompatibility.

1.3. Function Introduction

• Interface Adaptation: Compatible with most mainstream car models (sedans, SUVs, MPVs). It accurately matches the original car wiring harness interface with various aftermarket Android head unit interfaces, eliminating the need for additional processing or modification. It offers strong adaptability for common modification scenarios.
• Multi-signal Transmission: Integrates multiple transmission functions including power supply, speaker, radio antenna, USB data, and reverse image signal. It enables synchronous transfer of multiple signals without additional wiring, simplifying the modification process and improving efficiency.
• Plug and Play: Features a standardized interface design, requiring no wire cutting, welding, or professional modification experience. Direct plug-in installation reduces modification difficulty and prevents damage to original car wiring.
• Anti-interference & Protection: Utilizes high-quality shielded wires to isolate electromagnetic interference from vehicle ignition coils, on-board computers, and other electronic devices, ensuring clear and stable audio/video signal transmission. Built-in overload and short-circuit protection modules prevent damage to the Android head unit, original car wiring harness, and the product itself from abnormal current, extending equipment service life.
• Wide Compatibility: Compatible with most mainstream aftermarket Android head unit sizes (9-inch, 10-inch, 10.25-inch, 12.3-inch). It supports all core Android system functions (navigation, music playback, Bluetooth, reverse image display, car-machine interconnection) and is compatible with various Android system versions.

3. Setup Instructions

3.1. Pre-Installation Checks

Before proceeding with installation, ensure the following:

1. No Cables Equipped: Verify that your vehicle's wiring harness does not already have similar CAN-Bus cables equipped.
2. 16-pin Connector: Check if there are identical 16-pin cable connectors available in your vehicle's wiring harness. The pin pitch of the connector is 2.0mm.
3. Pin Definition Consistency: Confirm that the pin function definitions of your vehicle's connector are consistent with the CAN-Bus decoder's pin definitions.
4. 8-pin Connector Interface: Check if your Android head unit has the same 8-pin connector interface for UART plug.
5. Voltage Range: Ensure your vehicle's electrical system operates within the +9V~+16V range. Voltages outside this range can damage the decoder.
6. Android Radio Settings: Before purchasing, operate your Android radio to enter the CAN-Bus setting screen to see if your car name can be displayed.

Important checks before purchasing and installing the CAN-Bus Box. Contact support if unsure about fitting.

3.2. Preparation

1. Park the vehicle in a flat and safe area.
2. Engage the handbrake.
3. Turn off the engine and remove the car key to ensure the vehicle is completely powered off.
4. Prepare the FTF1.20 CAN-Bus adapter, the aftermarket Android head unit to be installed, and necessary disassembly tools (e.g., pry plate, screwdriver).
5. Verify that the model of this product matches your vehicle model and Android head unit model.
6. Inspect the appearance and wires of the CAN-Bus adapter for any abnormalities (damage, breakage, bent pins).

3.3. Removing the Original Car Head Unit

1. Gently pry open the original car head unit panel with a pry plate. Control force to avoid scratching the panel surface or vehicle interior.
2. Carefully remove the panel and place it safely to prevent loss or damage.
3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws fixing the original car head unit.
4. Gently pull out the original car head unit with both hands. Be careful not to pull the original car wiring harness forcefully to avoid wire breakage.
5. Pull out all wiring harness plugs behind the original car head unit. Remember the position of each plug for subsequent connection.
6. Place the original car head unit safely to avoid collision and damage.

3.4. Connecting the Adapter

1. Step 1: Connect CAN Bus Box to Wiring Harness
   Align the 16-pin CAN plug of your vehicle's wiring harness with the 16-pin socket of the CAN Bus Box. Insert it gently, ensuring the plug buckle is completely in place without looseness or skew. Strictly follow the pin function description for wiring; improper wiring can damage the CAN Bus decoder.
   

   Step 1 of installation: Connect the 16-pin CAN plug of the wiring harness into the 16-pin socket of the CAN Bus Box.

2. Pin Definition: Refer to the diagram below for the 16-pin connector pinout.
