If you encounter issues after installation, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| No power to head unit | Loose power connection, incorrect wiring, blown fuse. | Check all power connections (Yellow B+, Red ACC, Black GND). Verify vehicle fuses. Ensure the CanBus module is properly connected. |
| No sound from speakers | Loose speaker connections, incorrect speaker wiring. | Verify all speaker wire connections (White, Gray, Green, Purple pairs) are secure and correctly matched to the head unit. |
| Steering wheel controls not working | Incorrect KEY1 connection, head unit not configured for SWC. | Ensure the Brown KEY1 wire is correctly connected. Check your aftermarket head unit's settings for steering wheel control configuration and learning functions. |
| Illumination/Dimming not working | Incorrect Orange ILLUMINATION wire connection. | Verify the Orange ILLUMINATION wire is properly connected. |
| Reverse camera not activating | Incorrect Pink REVERSE wire connection. | Ensure the Pink REVERSE wire is correctly connected to the head unit's reverse input. |
10. User Tips

- Verify Pinouts: While the provided diagram is standard, it's good practice to verify the pinout of your vehicle's factory harness against the adapter's wiring, especially if you encounter unexpected behavior.
- Secure Connections: Use high-quality crimps, solder, or heat-shrink connectors for all wiring to ensure reliable and long-lasting connections.
- Test Thoroughly: Perform comprehensive testing of all head unit functions and vehicle features (e.g., door chimes, parking sensors, steering wheel controls) before fully reassembling the dashboard.
