5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Leadfan car stereo, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on or loses settings. | Incorrect wiring of ACC (red) and B+ (yellow) wires. Voltage higher than 16V. | Ensure the yellow wire is connected to constant positive battery current and the red wire to the ignition switch. Verify vehicle voltage is 12V (not for 24V trucks). |
| Backup camera or dash cam not working. | Loose connection, incorrect wiring, or faulty camera. | Ensure all camera connections are firm, especially the USB for the dash cam. Verify the rear camera's red wire is connected to the reverse light. |
| Bluetooth audio cuts out or has poor quality. | Interference, phone compatibility, or unit settings. | Ensure phone is within range. Check Bluetooth settings on both devices. Try adjusting EQ settings on the stereo. |
| Microphone quality is poor during calls. | Internal microphone limitation. | No direct solution for internal microphone. Consider using phone's microphone if possible or an external microphone if supported by the unit (not specified). |
| Volume is too loud at low settings, or subwoofer doesn't activate until high volume. | Audio output settings or amplifier gain. | Adjust the EQ sound settings and loudness options within the stereo's audio setup. Check external amplifier gain settings if applicable. |
