Troubleshooting

Blinking Odometer Issue

Some users may experience a blinking odometer after installing the XTRONS unit. This is a known issue that can often be resolved by adjusting the CANbus settings within the unit's system. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure the car stereo is fully booted up.
2. Navigate to the main menu and locate the 'Car Info' or 'Car Device' application.
3. Within the 'Car Info' application, look for 'Vehicle Setup' or a similar option related to vehicle settings.
4. You may encounter a prompt for a 'Model mandatory choice (trying to solve the problem of instrument flashing)'. Select 'Yes'.
5. You will be presented with options like 'one', 'two', 'three'. Experiment with these options. Many users find success with 'two' or 'one'.
6. After selecting an option, go back to the main menu. You may need to power cycle the unit (turn off the car, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on) for the changes to take effect.
7. If the issue persists, access the 'Factory Setup' menu (often by entering a specific code like 8878 or 7787 in the 'About Device' section under 'Car Infotainment' settings). From there, navigate to 'CAN Type' and ensure the correct Fiat model is selected. Save and reboot the unit.

If the blinking odometer issue continues after attempting these steps, please contact XTRONS technical support for further assistance.
