Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BLAUPUNKT Receiver Plus Speaker Package, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Sound from Speakers:
  Solution: Check speaker wire connections for correct polarity and secure contact. Ensure the volume is not muted or set to zero. Verify the audio source is correctly selected.
• Screen is White or Frozen:
  Solution: Try resetting the unit. This can often be done by pressing a small reset button (usually recessed and requires a pointed object like a pen) or by temporarily disconnecting the vehicle's battery.
• MirrorLink Not Connecting/Working:
  Solution: Ensure your smartphone is compatible and has the latest MirrorLink app. Try a different USB cable. Restart both the stereo and your phone. Verify that MirrorLink is enabled in your phone's settings.

  Solution: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. Delete previous pairings from both the stereo and your phone and attempt to pair again. Move the phone closer to the stereo.
• Radio Blocks on Call:
  Solution: This behavior may be related to specific phone models or software. Ensure the stereo's firmware is up to date if an update is available. Check phone settings for call handling preferences with connected Bluetooth devices.
