4. Installation

4.1. Pre-installation Considerations

• This product does not include any wiring harnesses. Users need to prepare the corresponding adapter harnesses separately.
• The CAN Bus box is compatible with Android head units that have 8-pin connectors and support serial communication.
• Wiring requires certain professional knowledge. If you are unsure, please contact a professional installer or customer support.
• Operating voltage: 9V–16V DC. Before use, confirm that the vehicle voltage matches the decoder's operating voltage to avoid damage.
• Strictly follow the pin definition chart for wiring. Direct replacement of decoders of different brands and models is prohibited.
• Damage to the device caused by reverse connection, incorrect insertion, or wiring not in accordance with the pin definition is not covered by the warranty.

4.2. Connection of Cable Adapter

Connect the CAN Bus decoder to the cable harness. Find the 20-pin CAN plug of the wiring harness, then plug it into the 20-pin socket of the CAN Bus Box.

4.3. Wiring Instructions

Please strictly follow the pin definitions below for wiring. Improper wiring can damage the CAN bus decoder.

4.3.1. RZ-AD51 (16-pin PH2.0 Connector)

4.3.2. RZ-AD53, RZ-AD54, RZ-AD55 (20-pin PH2.0 Connector)

5. Operation: Head Unit Settings

After wiring is completed, you need to enable the CANBUS function in your Android head unit and select the corresponding vehicle model. Otherwise, data may not be recognized normally, affecting installation and adaptation.

1. Access Settings: Navigate to the settings menu on your Android head unit.
2. Enter Factory Settings: Look for 'Car Settings' or similar, then 'Factory' or 'Factory Settings'.
3. Enter Factory Password: If prompted, try the following common passwords: 3368, 1617, 8317, 8888. If none of these work, please consult the seller of your Android radio.
4. Navigate to CAN Bus Settings: Within the factory settings, find 'CAN Bus Settings' or 'CarType Select'.
5. Select Manufacturer: Choose 'Raise' as the CAN Bus Box manufacturer.
6. Select Car Model: Select the correct Audi car model and year from the list.
7. Save and Reboot: Save your settings and reboot the Android head unit for changes to take effect.

6. Troubleshooting

• Data Not Recognized: If the Android head unit cannot find the corresponding vehicle name in the CANBUS settings, try selecting one of the available vehicle names. If the issue persists, contact the seller of your Android head unit to obtain an APP update.
• Compatibility/Adaptability Issues: The product's functions depend on the vehicle's multimedia CAN node data. Without the corresponding data, relevant functions cannot be realized. If you encounter such issues, please contact our customer service for solutions.
• Device Damage: Damage to the device caused by reverse connection, incorrect insertion, or wiring not in accordance with the pin definition is not covered by the warranty. Always double-check your wiring.

7. User Tips

• Professional Installation: Due to the complexity of vehicle wiring and CAN bus systems, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct setup and prevent damage.
• Verify Wiring: Always double-check all pin definitions and wiring connections meticulously before applying power to the system. Incorrect wiring is a common cause of device malfunction or damage.
• Head Unit Compatibility: Confirm that your Android head unit explicitly supports a UART interface for CAN Bus communication.
• Factory Password: Keep a record of your Android head unit's factory password, or know how to obtain it from the head unit manufacturer, as it is often required for CAN Bus settings.
