4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Removing the Old Radio

To begin, you will need an H5 Allen head driver to remove the four screws securing the beauty ring around your existing radio. Once these screws are out, gently pull the cover to remove it. Next, use a 10mm socket to remove the four bolts holding the old radio in place (two on each side). Before fully removing the radio, disconnect all cable plugs, including the main power, speaker wires, and radio antenna. A useful tip is to stuff a piece of paper into the bolt holes to prevent bolts from falling into the dashboard cavity.

4.2 Installing the New Stereo

Transfer the mounting brackets from your old radio to the new Roinvou unit. These brackets typically align with existing holes on the new radio. Secure them with the provided screws. The new cable harness is designed for plug-and-play installation with your vehicle's existing wiring. Connect the main power and speaker wires.

4.3 Connecting Peripherals

• GPS and WiFi Antennas: For optimal signal reception, place the GPS and WiFi antennas (modules) above the glove box area. Ensure they are not obstructed by metal components.
• USB Cables: Connect the dual USB cables to the designated ports on the stereo. One cable is typically for quick charging, and the other for 'Easy Connect' features like screen mirroring.
• Backup Camera: Connect the included AHD backup camera to the rear camera input cable. Ensure the reverse input cable is plugged in, even if the camera is not immediately used, as it can affect Bluetooth and WiFi signal reception.
• Steering Wheel Control (SWC): The unit supports original steering wheel control buttons. If your vehicle does not have a CANBUS decoder, connect the Key1/Key2 wires from the power cable to the corresponding port of your original car and use the 'SteeringWheelKey' manual function to activate button functions. If your vehicle has a CANBUS decoder, connect it before powering on the machine, then navigate to Apps > Settings > Factory Settings (1234) > CAN Settings to configure SWC.
