After selecting the appropriate settings, save your changes and reboot the Android head unit for the changes to take effect.
8. Maintenance
The RZ-OP61 CAN Bus Decoder requires minimal maintenance. Keep the device free from dust and moisture. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself, as this will void any warranty and may cause further damage.
9. Troubleshooting
