3. Installation
3.1 Pre-Installation Considerations
- This product does not include connection cables. If you do not have suitable cables, it is recommended to purchase a CAN Bus adapter with cables.
- Installation requires certain professional knowledge. If you are unsure, please consult a professional or contact support before attempting installation.
- Ensure the operating voltage is within +9V to +16V. Voltages outside this range can damage the decoder.
3.2 Physical Connection
- Identify the 20-pin CAN plug on your wiring harness.
- Carefully plug the 20-pin CAN plug into the corresponding socket on the CAN Bus Decoder.
- Strictly follow the pin definition chart provided in Section 2.2 for all wiring connections to avoid damage to the CAN Bus decoder.

4. Android Head Unit Setup
After physically connecting the CAN Bus Decoder, you need to configure your Android head unit. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your head unit's manufacturer and software version. Consult your head unit vendor if you encounter difficulties.
- Access Settings: On your Android head unit, navigate to the main settings menu. Look for an icon or option related to "Car Settings" or "Factory Settings".
- Enter Factory Password: If prompted, enter the factory password for your Android radio. Common passwords include: 3368, 1617, 8317, 8888. If none of these work, contact your Android radio seller for the correct password.
- Navigate to CAN Bus Settings: Within the factory or car settings, locate the "CAN Bus Setting" or "CarType Setting" option.
- Select Manufacturer: Choose the CAN Bus Box manufacturer, which is "Raise" for this decoder.
- Select Car Model: From the list, select your specific Honda car model and year (e.g., Honda > Accord10 2018-2022).
- Save and Reboot: Save your settings and reboot the Android head unit for the changes to take effect.

5. Operation
Once correctly installed and configured, the RZ-HD51 CAN Bus Decoder operates automatically in the background. It continuously translates data between your vehicle's CAN Bus system and your Android head unit. This enables features such as:
- Steering wheel control functionality for the head unit.
- Automatic display of reverse camera feed when shifting into reverse (if supported by head unit and camera).
- Integration of vehicle information (e.g., door status, climate control data) if your specific car model and head unit support these advanced CAN features.
No direct user interaction with the decoder itself is required after the initial setup.
6. Maintenance
The RZ-HD51 CAN Bus Decoder is a low-maintenance device. To ensure its longevity and proper function:
- Keep the device dry and away from excessive moisture or liquids.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures.
- Ensure all connections remain secure and free from corrosion.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the device, as this will void any potential warranty and may cause damage.
7. Troubleshooting
- Issue: Decoder not functioning / Head unit not receiving car data.
-
- Check Power: Ensure the operating voltage supplied to the decoder is within +9V to +16V. Incorrect voltage can damage the unit.
- Verify Wiring: Double-check all wiring connections against the pin definition table (Section 2.2). Improper wiring is a common cause of malfunction. Professional installation is recommended.
- Confirm Head Unit Settings: Revisit the Android Head Unit Setup (Section 4) to ensure the correct CAN Bus Box manufacturer ("Raise") and your specific car model are selected.
- Factory Password: If you cannot access the CAN Bus settings, ensure you have the correct factory password for your Android radio. Contact your radio vendor if needed.
- Issue: Specific car features (e.g., 360 camera, climate control display) are not working.
-
- Head Unit Compatibility: The CAN Bus decoder primarily translates standard CAN data. Advanced features like 360 camera integration or detailed climate control displays also depend on the specific capabilities and software of your Android head unit. Verify if your head unit natively supports these features with a CAN Bus input.
- Vehicle Compatibility: While the decoder is compatible with listed Honda models, the extent of CAN data available can vary by vehicle trim and year.
8. User Tips
- Always ensure your Android head unit is powered off before making any wiring connections to prevent short circuits or damage.
- If you are not confident in performing the installation yourself, seek assistance from a qualified car audio technician.
- Keep a record of your Android head unit's factory password for future reference.
9. Warranty and Support
For any questions regarding the installation, setup, or functionality of your RZ-HD51 CAN Bus Decoder, please contact the seller or manufacturer directly. Provide your product model (RZ-HD51) and details of your vehicle (make, model, year) and Android head unit for efficient support.
Please note that improper installation or modification of the device may void the warranty.
