5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Android Head Unit CANBUS Setup
After completing the physical wiring, you must configure the CANBUS settings on your Android head unit. The exact steps may vary depending on your head unit's manufacturer and software version. The following steps provide a general guide:
- Enter Settings: Navigate to the main settings menu on your Android head unit. Look for options like "Car Settings" or similar.
- Access Factory Settings: Some head units require entering a factory password to access advanced settings. Common passwords include 3368, 1617, 8317, or 8888. If these do not work, consult your head unit vendor.
- Locate CAN Bus Settings: Within the factory or car settings, find the "CAN Bus Settings" or "CarType Setting" option.
- Select Manufacturer: Choose "Raise" as the CAN Bus Box manufacturer.
- Select Car Model: Select the correct Nissan model and year from the available list (e.g., "NISSAN_R07(2008-2012 TEANA DUKE(LOW))").
- Save and Reboot: Save your settings and reboot the Android head unit for changes to take effect.
