Setup and Installation

1. Receiver Installation (General Guide)

This section provides a general overview of receiver installation, which is often required before connecting the remote control. Ensure your vehicle's navigation system is an Android system and the vehicle's ACC (Accessory) power is turned off before beginning.

1. Turn off Vehicle ACC: Confirm the vehicle's accessory power is off. This prevents electrical shorts during installation.
2. Remove Central Control Panel: Use a crowbar tool to carefully pry and remove the central control panel surrounding the receiver. This exposes the wiring and mounting points.
3. Unplug Original Power Interface: Locate and unplug the original power interface connected to the existing receiver.
4. Connect Receiver's Transfer Cable: Take out the receiver's transfer cable and connect it to the power supply. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Check Route and Reinstall Central Control: Verify all cables are routed correctly and then carefully reinstall the central control panel.
6. Open Vehicle ACC: Once the panel is reinstalled, turn on the vehicle's ACC to power on the receiver.

2. Remote Control Installation

The JVC RM-RK258 remote control is designed for direct installation on the steering wheel due to its ergonomic design and certain elasticity.

1. Position Remote: Hold the remote control with the buttons facing outwards.
2. Attach to Steering Wheel: Carefully slide the remote control onto the steering wheel, ensuring it fits snugly and securely. The design allows it to conform to the steering wheel's shape.
