3.2 Connecting the Backup Camera
The reverse input cable must be plugged in even if the reverse camera is not being used. Failure to do so may affect Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signal reception. Connect the video output cable from the camera to the 'Video(out)' port on the stereo. Connect the camera's red wire to the reversing lamp's positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the ground (GND) terminal.

3.3 Steering Wheel Control Setup
Without CANBUS Decoder: Please connect the plugs or the steering wheel control wires (Key1/Key2) in the power cable to the corresponding port or wire of your original car. Then, go to the "SteeringWheelKey" manual match setting on the stereo to activate the button function.
With CANBUS Decoder: If your system includes a CANBUS decoder, connect it before powering on the machine. Then, follow this path: Settings > Factory Settings (Password 8888) > Protocol settings to make Steering Wheel Control (SWC) work properly. First, select the brand of the CANBUS decoder, then select the matching model and year according to your actual situation.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Roinvou Car Radio, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the touch screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- General Cleaning: Keep the unit free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean vents and ports.
- Software Updates: Periodically check for software updates from the manufacturer to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the unit to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme cold, as this can affect performance and lifespan.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Roinvou Car Radio, refer to the following common problems and their potential solutions:
- Unit Does Not Power On:
- Check all power cable connections to ensure they are secure.
- Verify the car's fuse related to the stereo is not blown. - Slow Startup Time:
- This can be normal for Android systems. Ensure no excessive background applications are running.
- If persistently slow, a factory reset might be considered (note: this will erase all user data). - Bluetooth Connection Issues:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the car stereo and your phone.
- Delete previous pairings on both devices and try reconnecting.
- Move closer to the unit to ensure signal strength.
- Restart both the stereo and your phone. - Backup Camera Not Working:
- Verify that the reverse input cable is correctly plugged into the stereo, even if the camera is not in use, as it affects signal reception.
- Check the camera's power and video connections.
- Ensure the camera itself is functional. - Radio Stations Not Remembered After Restart:
- This indicates a potential issue with the constant power (ACC) wire connection. Ensure the yellow constant power wire is correctly connected to a constant 12V source in your vehicle, not a switched ignition source. - No Sound Output:
- Check speaker wire connections.
- Ensure the volume is not muted or set to minimum.
- Verify audio settings and equalizer settings. - GPS Signal Weak or Not Found:
- Ensure the GPS antenna is properly connected and placed in an area with a clear view of the sky (e.g., on the dashboard).
- Avoid placing the antenna near metal objects that could interfere with the signal.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
