8.1 Cannot Boot Normally

1. Wiring Check: Ensure the Yellow (B+), Red (ACC), and Black (GND) wires are correctly connected. Yellow to constant +12V, Red to ignition +12V, Black to ground. Missing or incorrect connections will prevent booting.
2. Fuse Check: Check if the fuse on the Yellow wire is blown. If not, try twisting the Yellow and Red wires together, then turn the key and press the unit's power button.
3. Short Circuit: If fuses repeatedly blow, there might be a short circuit in the unit's protection circuit. Seek professional repair.

8.2 Automatic Shut-down

1. Cable Error: If the blue cable (auto antenna power supply) is connected to the unit's power cable, an automatic shutdown will occur. Correct the wiring.
2. Unstable Voltage: Test the unit with a stable 12V-5A power supply. If it still shuts down, the unit may be faulty.

8.3 No Sound or Distorted Sound

1. Speaker Wiring: Ensure all 8 speaker cables are correctly connected and not grounded, shared, or touching other lines. Check for short circuits between speaker wires and vehicle chassis.
2. Speaker Power: If the original speaker power is too low, noise may occur at high volumes. Avoid excessively high volumes.
3. Unit Fault: If after checking all wiring and speakers, there is still no sound, the unit may be faulty.

8.4 Remote Control Not Working

1. Battery Check: Point the remote at a mobile phone camera and press a button. If you see a light on the phone screen, the remote is working. If not, replace the battery.

8.5 Settings Not Saved (No Memory)

1. Wiring Reversal: The Yellow (B+) and Red (ACC) wires might be reversed. Swap their positions.

8.6 Bluetooth Not Working

1. Pairing: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the unit and your mobile phone. Search for the unit's Bluetooth name on your phone and connect.

8.7 Reversing Camera Not Displaying

1. Wiring Check: Verify the camera's power, ground, and video signal connections. Ensure the unit's PINK (REVERSE) wire is connected to the reverse light positive.
2. Camera Fault: If the camera's LED (if any) does not light up when reverse is engaged, the camera might be faulty.

8.8 USB Devices Cannot Be Played

1. Format: Format the USB flash drive to FAT32. Re-download media files and try again. If issues persist, try a different USB drive.
