If you encounter issues with your Navifly PD8, try the following steps:

  • **No Audio:** Verify that the AUX cable is correctly connected to both the PD8 and your car's AUX input. Ensure your car stereo is set to the AUX input. If using FM transmission, confirm the PD8 and car stereo are on the same FM frequency. Check volume levels on both the PD8 and your car stereo.

  • Regularly clean the screen to maintain touch responsiveness and clear visibility.
  • When using screen mirroring, ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection between your phone and the device for smooth performance.
  • Explore the built-in EQ settings to customize the audio profile to your preference for different music genres.
