Installation Guide

This section provides instructions for wiring and physically installing your car media player. It is recommended to have this installed by a qualified professional if you are not familiar with car electronics.

VW Wiring Instructions

Your package includes two power cords, labeled A and B. Select the one that matches the shape of your car's original power plug. Regardless of which cord (A or B) you use, there are two primary wiring methods:

1. For cars with steering wheel buttons, door information, or air conditioning information (CAN line present):

   Your original car has a CAN line and requires a CANBUS connection. In this case, you must plug in the CANBUS decoder and connect the other end of the CANBUS line into the 8P socket on the back of the media player. Important: The two black buckles on the power cord must be disconnected. Failure to do so will prevent the unit from shutting down and may drain your car battery.

2. For cars without steering wheel buttons, door information, or air conditioning information (no CAN line):

   Your original car does not have a CAN line and does not require a CANBUS connection. In this case, the two black buckles on the power cord must be connected together. Important: Do not connect the CANBUS decoder, and do not plug the 8P connector into the back of the machine. Failure to follow this will prevent the unit from shutting down and may drain your car battery.

Some car models may have original cars without steering wheel buttons but with CAN lines. If the unit does not turn on or off after wiring, try connecting or disconnecting the CANBUS decoder to troubleshoot.

Operating Instructions

Basic Controls

The unit features physical buttons on the left and right sides for common functions such as MENU, EQ, MUTE, MODE, MEDIA, APS, BAND, and TUNE. Rotary knobs control volume and selection. The touchscreen interface allows for intuitive navigation through menus and applications.

Wireless CarPlay

CarPlay allows you to intelligently and safely use iPhone features while driving. You can open navigation, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to your favorite songs. To connect, ensure your iPhone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled, then follow the on-screen prompts on the car media player. For initial setup, you may need to connect your iPhone via the front USB port.

Wireless Android Auto

Android Auto extends the Android platform into the car in a way that's purpose-built for driving. It automatically brings you useful information and organizes it into simple cards that appear just when they're needed. To connect, ensure your Android phone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled, then follow the on-screen prompts on the car media player. For initial setup, you may need to connect your Android phone via the front USB port.

7-Color Button Lighting

The unit features customizable button backlighting. You can cycle through seven different colors (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, white) or select a static color to match your car's interior lighting or your personal preference.

Steering Wheel Control Learning

This feature allows you to map your car's steering wheel buttons to control the media player, enabling you to manage audio playback and calls without taking your hands off the steering wheel. Access the 'Steering Wheel Learning' menu in the settings and follow the on-screen instructions to assign functions to each button.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BQCC Car Media Player, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Unit does not turn on/off with car ignition: This is often related to incorrect CANBUS wiring. Review the 'VW Wiring Instructions' in the Installation Guide. Ensure the black buckles are correctly connected or disconnected based on whether your car has a CAN line. Try connecting or disconnecting the CANBUS decoder to see if it resolves the issue.
• Radio not working or poor reception: Check all antenna connections. Ensure the antenna adapter fits correctly for your vehicle. Some VAG cars may require a dual antenna connection instead of a single one.
• Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto freezing or restarting: Ensure your phone's software is up to date. Try connecting via a different USB cable or port. If the issue persists, it might indicate a software incompatibility or a defect in the unit. Some users have reported this issue.
• Microphone not working or picking up excessive ambient noise: This can be a hardware limitation. Ensure the microphone is not obstructed. If an external microphone is provided, try using it and positioning it optimally.
• "Accessory Not Supported" message on iPhone: This message typically appears when an uncertified or incompatible accessory is connected to an iOS device. Ensure you are using official or MFi-certified USB cables for CarPlay connections. If using wireless CarPlay, ensure your phone's software is updated and the unit's firmware is current.

  

• Cannot change initial boot logo: The password for custom boot logo settings is typically 112233. To apply a custom logo, create a folder named 'logo' on an empty USB stick (max 32GB). Place your custom image, named logo.bmp, inside this folder. The image must be exactly 800x480 pixels and 24-bit BMP format. Insert the USB stick into the unit and navigate to the boot logo settings to select it.
• AC display popping up randomly: This has been reported by some users. There is no general solution provided, but checking for firmware updates or consulting support might help.
• Mismatch between radio audio and Bluetooth audio volume: This is a reported issue. Adjusting individual volume levels for different sources in the unit's sound settings may help mitigate this.

User Tips

• Custom Boot Logo: If you wish to customize the boot logo, the password for this setting is 112233. Ensure your custom image is an 800x480, 24-bit BMP file named logo.bmp, placed in a folder named 'logo' on a USB stick (max 32GB).
• Factory Settings Access: The password for accessing general factory settings is 113266. Note that 888888 is typically for system updates.
• USB Port Aesthetics: The unit comes with USB dust covers for the rear ports. These can be used on the front USB ports for a cleaner, neater appearance.
• CANBUS Wiring: Pay close attention to the CANBUS wiring instructions. Incorrect connection is a common cause for the unit not turning on/off with the car ignition.
