8. Troubleshooting

Q: Why can't Bluetooth/WiFi connect?

A: Check if you are connected to the rear camera cable. The two short blue wires on the rear camera cable are Bluetooth and WiFi signal lines. This cable must be connected to the radio, even if you are not using the camera.

Q: Why doesn't the radio turn off when the car is turned off?

A: Check the wiring. If you have connected the CANBUS box, the red and orange wires on the power cord must be disconnected. Otherwise, CANBUS will continue to use the car battery power, and the radio will not turn off.

Q: What should I do if the physical buttons on the radio don't work?

A: You can set the function of the physical button in the "Settings" > "Car Settings" > "Extended Settings" (enter password 123456) > "Panel buttons" of the radio. If issues persist, contact customer service.

Q: What should I do if the steering wheel buttons don't work?

A: First, check whether the CANBUS serial cable is connected to the radio. Then, set the function of the steering wheel button in "Steering wheel button Settings" of the radio.

Q: Why is the screen black?

A: Check whether the car's voltage is between 10V and 12V. If it is lower than 10V, the radio screen will go out. Please press the "RST" button of the radio to restart the radio.

Q: How to change language?

A: Before changing the language, connect the radio to a WiFi hotspot. Add the language you need in the radio's "Settings" > "Android Settings" > "Language and Keyboard Settings" > "More Languages", and move it to the first position to change it.

Q: Why is the navigation GPS signal unstable?

A: Check whether the GPS antenna is connected. Also, ensure the GPS signal receiver is not placed in direct contact with metal, as this can affect the signal.

Q: What's the password for the radio?

A: Try 123456, 8888, or 000000 for the factory setting password. The password for restoring factory settings of the 4+64GB radio is 7890.

Q: Why doesn't the 4GB+64GB radio's SIM card work?

A: You need to install the SIM card after turning off the radio. After installing, wait 5-10 minutes before turning on the device. The SIM1 option needs to be disabled. Steps: "Go to settings-more-network and internet-sim card-turn off sim1 slot".
