3.2. Wiring Connections

Proper wiring is crucial for the functionality and safety of your car stereo. Refer to the diagrams below carefully.

Rear Interface Description

The rear panel of the unit features various input/output ports and connectors. Ensure all connections are firm and correct.

Wiring Notes:

• When the yellow line (B+) and the red line (ACC) both receive 12V positive power simultaneously, the unit will power on normally.
• The yellow line (B+) maintains power to retain memory functions (e.g., radio presets, clock settings).
• For speaker cables (8 total), ensure each cable is not grounded, not shared, and does not touch other lines. Incorrect speaker wiring can lead to no sound, distorted sound, or unit overheating.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common problems you might encounter and their solutions.

7.1. Unable to Boot Normally

• Wiring Check: Ensure the yellow (B+), red (ACC), and black (GND) wires are correctly connected. Yellow to positive, red to ignition key control, black to negative.
• Fuse Check: Verify if the fuse on the yellow line is intact. If blown, replace it. If fuses repeatedly blow, there might be a short circuit in the unit or car wiring.
• Test with External Power: Connect the yellow and red wires to a 12V positive source and the black wire to negative from a known good 12V battery or power supply to rule out car wiring issues.

7.2. Automatic Shut-down

• Wiring Error: Ensure the blue (automatic antenna power supply) cable is not connected to the unit's power cable.
• Unstable Voltage: Test the unit with a stable 12V-5A power supply to check if the issue persists.

7.3. Having Noise

• Speaker Power: If original speakers are too small, noise may occur at high volumes. Reduce volume or consider speaker upgrade.
• Grounded Speaker Cable: Check if any speaker cable is touching the car's metal chassis. Ensure proper insulation.

7.4. Settings Not Saved (No Memory)

• Yellow/Red Wires: Ensure the yellow (B+) and red (ACC) wires are connected correctly (yellow to constant 12V, red to switched 12V). If reversed, swap them.

7.5. Product Smokes

• Immediate Disconnection: Disconnect power immediately. This indicates internal circuit damage. Replacing the fuse will not solve this. The unit requires repair.

7.6. USB Flash Disk/SD Card Issues

• USB Playback: Format the USB disk to FAT32. Re-download a few songs and try again. If it still fails, try a different USB drive.
• SD Card Slot: Check if the memory card is inserted correctly and if the slot is damaged.

7.7. FM Does Not Receive Radio Stations

• Antenna Connection: Ensure the antenna plug is fully inserted and the antenna cable is not disconnected or damaged.
• Search Method: Perform an automatic search (long press AMS or search buttons). If still no reception, try temporarily inserting a metal strip into the antenna port to test.

7.8. No Sound After Installation or After a While

• Speaker Wiring: Check for short circuits or incorrect connections in speaker cables. Ensure each speaker has two dedicated wires.
• Test with External Speaker: Disconnect all car speakers from the unit. Connect a known good external speaker to one pair of the unit's audio output wires (e.g., gray/purple). If sound is produced, the car's speaker wiring or speakers are faulty. If no sound, the unit may be damaged.

8. Specifications

Note: Specifications are subject to change without notice due to continuous product improvement.

9. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the front panel. For stubborn stains, dampen the cloth lightly with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
