4. Setup and Installation

4.1. Electrical & Wiring Requirements

• Operating Voltage: Ensure your vehicle's voltage is within 9V–16V DC to prevent damage.
• Wiring Accuracy: Strictly follow the pin definition diagrams provided. This product can directly replace Hiworld HYF2.20 decoders. Do NOT attempt to replace decoders of different brands or models directly.
• Warranty: Damage resulting from reverse connection, incorrect insertion, or wiring not conforming to the pin definitions will void the warranty.

4.2. Connecting the CAN Bus Decoder

Connect the 16-pin and 20-pin plugs from your vehicle's wire harness into the corresponding sockets on the CAN Bus Decoder Box. Ensure a secure connection for both plugs.

4.3. Connecting the OBD Wiring Harness

The OBD wiring harness enables additional functions like reversing line and door status display. Follow these steps to connect it:

1. Locate the 20-pin harness plug of the cable adapter currently in use.
2. Align the green wire terminal (CAN-H) and insert it into pin 14 (PIN14) of the 20-pin plug.
3. Align the yellow wire terminal (CAN-L) and insert it into pin 18 (PIN18) of the 20-pin plug.
4. Insert the OBD connector completely into your vehicle's original OBD diagnostic interface.

4.5. Android Head Unit Settings

After completing the physical wiring, you must configure your Android head unit to recognize the CAN Bus Decoder. 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.

1. Enter Settings: Navigate to the main settings menu on your Android head unit. Look for "Car Settings" or a similar option.
2. Enter Factory Settings: Within Car Settings, you may need to access "Factory Settings" or "Factory Mode". This often requires a password. Common passwords include: 3368, 1617, 8317, 8888. If these do not work, contact the seller of your Android radio for the correct password.
3. Enter CAN Bus Settings: Once in Factory Settings, locate "CAN Bus Settings" or "CAN Related Settings".
4. Select Manufacturer and Model:
   • Select "Hiworld" as the CAN Bus Box manufacturer.
   • Select the correct car model and year from the list (e.g., HYUNDAI_KIA_W06(2015-2016 Tucson)).
5. Save and Reboot: After selecting the correct settings, save your changes and reboot the Android head unit.

If your Android head unit cannot find the corresponding vehicle name in the CANBUS settings, try selecting a similar vehicle name, or contact the seller of your Android head unit to obtain an APP update.

5. Operating the CAN Bus Decoder

Once correctly installed and configured, the HYL3.20 CAN Bus Decoder operates automatically in conjunction with your Android head unit. It continuously reads and translates vehicle data from the CAN bus, enabling various functions on your aftermarket head unit that rely on this information.

• Steering Wheel Controls: Enables the functionality of your vehicle's original steering wheel controls with the new head unit.
• Reverse Camera Integration: Provides signals for automatic camera activation and dynamic parking lines (if supported by your vehicle and head unit).
• Door Status Display: Allows the head unit to display the open/closed status of vehicle doors.
• Vehicle Information: May provide other vehicle-specific data to the head unit, depending on the vehicle's CAN bus capabilities and head unit features.

The communication between the decoder and the Android head unit is via UART. Ensure your head unit has a compatible UART interface for full functionality.

6. Care and Maintenance

The HYL3.20 CAN Bus Decoder is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

• Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the decoder to moisture or liquids.
• Temperature: Operate within the specified temperature range (-30 °C to +70 °C). Extreme temperatures can affect performance and lifespan.
• Secure Connections: Periodically check that all wiring connections are secure and free from corrosion.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Protect the device from impacts or excessive vibration.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HYL3.20 CAN Bus Decoder, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Data Recognition / Functions Not Working:
  • Ensure the CANBUS function is enabled in your Android head unit settings.
  • Verify that the correct vehicle model and year are selected in the head unit's CANBUS settings.
  • Check all wiring connections for proper insertion and security.
  • If the vehicle model is not listed, try selecting a similar model or contact your Android head unit vendor for a software update.
• Dynamic Reverse Lines Not Working:
  • On your Android head unit, ensure that the "static lines" switch for the reverse camera is turned OFF. Dynamic lines and static lines can sometimes conflict.
• PAS (Parking Assist System) or Door Opening Functions Not Working:
  • Ensure the OBD wiring harness is correctly connected to both the 20-pin plug and the vehicle's OBD interface.
  • Try installing the latest Canvas update file for your Android head unit, if available.
• Compatibility Issues:
  • Product functions depend on the vehicle's multimedia CAN node data. Without corresponding data, certain functions cannot be realized.
  • Due to variations in vehicle brands, models, and years, compatibility may differ. If you are unsure, contact customer support for confirmation.
• Device Not Powering On:
  • Verify that the vehicle's operating voltage is within the 9V–16V DC range.
  • Check for any reverse polarity connections or short circuits.

8. User Tips

Based on feedback from other users, here are some helpful tips:

• Dynamic Reverse Lines: If your dynamic reverse lines are not appearing or functioning correctly, check your Android head unit's settings and ensure that any "static lines" option for the reverse camera is disabled.
• Parking Assist and Door Status: For proper operation of Parking Assist System (PAS) and door status display, ensure your OBD wiring is correctly installed. If issues persist, look for and install any available Canvas update files for your specific Android head unit.

9. Compatibility Notice

• The functionality of this product is dependent on the vehicle's multimedia CAN node data. If the corresponding data is not present, certain functions cannot be realized.
• Due to variations across vehicle brands, models, and manufacturing years, there may be differences in compatibility and adaptability. If you are uncertain about compatibility, please contact customer service for confirmation before purchase.
• This product communicates with the Android head unit via UART. Android head units without a UART interface are not compatible.
