AUX Input: Connect an external audio device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) to the 3.5mm AUX input jack using an audio cable. Select the AUX source on your car radio if available, or the CD changer source. Note: Volume and track control for AUX input must be managed directly on the connected external device.

6.2 Music Navigation

Track Navigation: Use the "Track" buttons (forward/backward) on your car radio to skip between individual songs within the current folder.

Periodically check USB sticks and SD cards for proper formatting and file integrity to prevent playback issues.

8. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No sound or device not recognized.	Incorrect source selected on radio. Loose cable connection. Incompatible radio model. Corrupted media files on USB/SD. Power issue.	Ensure "CD," "CDC," or "AUX" source is selected. Check all cable connections, especially to the radio's CD changer port. Verify your radio model is listed in the compatibility section. Try a different USB stick or SD card with known good MP3/WMA files. Ensure vehicle power is on and radio is functioning correctly.
Cannot navigate folders or only one folder is recognized.	Radio model limitation. Incorrect folder structure on media.	Some radio models (e.g., HU650/HU850 without selection button) only support one simulated folder. This is a hardware limitation. Ensure your music files are organized in a simple folder structure.
Static or poor audio quality.	Loose connection. Interference. Low quality audio files.	Check all connections. Ensure the adapter and cables are not near strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use higher quality MP3/WMA files.
RTI Navigation module issues.	Conflict with navigation system.	An additional splitter (YT-VHY or YT-V813) may be required for HU-xxx radios with RTI navigation modules.
