4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your wiiyii Car HUD P8, please observe the following maintenance guideline:
- Disconnect for Extended Periods: If you do not plan to drive your vehicle for more than a week, it is recommended to disconnect the OBD device. This is because the OBD device draws a regular current from the car battery, and disconnecting it prevents potential battery drain, especially in vehicles with varying battery conditions.
