7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your AZIJYV C3 HUD, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Unit does not power on. | Loose cable connection, no power from OBD2 port/cigarette lighter. | Check if the OBD or cigarette lighter cable is securely connected to both the unit and the vehicle's port. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on. |
| Inaccurate speed/data in GPS mode. | Weak GPS signal, initial calibration needed. | Ensure the unit has a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS reception. Allow a few minutes for the unit to acquire satellite signals. You may need to calibrate the speed offset in the settings menu if there's a consistent discrepancy. |
| Unit reboots frequently or beeps. | Unstable power supply, internal error. | Check the power connection for stability. If using OBD2, ensure your vehicle's OBD port provides consistent power. Try switching to GPS mode with the cigarette lighter cable to see if the issue persists. |
| Battery drain when connected via OBD2 (car off). | OBD2 port remains powered when the car is off. | Some vehicles' OBD2 ports remain active even when the ignition is off. If this is the case, disconnect the HUD unit when the vehicle is not in use for extended periods to prevent battery drain. |
| Display is too dim or too bright. | Automatic brightness adjustment not optimal, manual adjustment needed. | The unit has automatic brightness adjustment. If it's not suitable for your environment, refer to the detailed English manual for instructions on manually adjusting brightness settings. |
