  • Bluetooth Connection Problems: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on both the unit and your phone. Delete previous pairings and try reconnecting.
  • Steering Wheel Controls Not Working: Confirm the Canbus decoder is correctly installed and configured. Some vehicles may require manual mapping of steering wheel buttons in the unit's settings.
  • Screen Unresponsive/Frozen: Try performing a soft reset by pressing the RST button (if available) or by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes.
  • WiFi/4G Connectivity Issues: Check network signal strength. For 4G models, ensure the 4G antenna is properly connected. Verify WiFi password if connecting to a hotspot.
