Q: The mobile phone Bluetooth and the car Bluetooth cannot be paired/connected?

A: Try turning off and on your phone's Bluetooth and searching again. If issues persist, use the 'BT Reset' option in the car's Bluetooth settings to restore factory settings, then attempt pairing again.

Q: There is no sound from Bluetooth music?

A: Ensure your paired mobile phone has its volume output enabled and is not muted.

Q: No response when clicking to download the phone book?

A: After Bluetooth connection, when you click 'Download' for the phone book, your mobile phone should receive a request to download contacts. You must confirm and allow this request on your phone.

Q: The Bluetooth name is not updated after setting?

A: If the Bluetooth name doesn't update immediately, disconnect the Bluetooth connection and then click to pair again.

Q: No data update at first time when plugging in SD card or USB in the music player?

A: The music player scans for data when a storage device is plugged in. If there's a large amount of data, it may take a few seconds to a minute to update. Ensure the storage device is properly mounted and recognized. If no directory appears, try re-plugging the card/USB or check the hardware connection.

Q: Song file name shows garbled code?

A: This can occur if the song's encoding method is not a common format or doesn't match the local language settings. The displayed name is derived from the file's metadata, not just the filename.

Q: How to adjust microphone volume or use the original microphone?

A: Check the audio settings within the unit's system menu for microphone input level adjustments. If the provided microphone is too weak, some users have found success with external microphones, potentially requiring an adapter if the original vehicle microphone is to be used.
