Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Tenbaba Motorcycle CarPlay Screen, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Check power connections (12V or USB). Ensure wires are securely connected and not damaged. Verify motorcycle's power source is active. |
| Screen turns on and off constantly. | This may indicate an unstable power supply. Check wiring for loose connections or insufficient power. Ensure the 12V connection is stable. |
| Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto fails to connect. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and paired with the device. Confirm Wi-Fi is enabled on your phone for the CarPlay/Android Auto connection. Try restarting both your phone and the CarPlay screen. |
| No audio from helmet/earphones. | Verify your phone is paired to the CarPlay screen. Ensure 'Phone Audio' is set to ON in the screen's system settings. Confirm your Bluetooth helmet/earphones are paired directly to the CarPlay screen via 'Bluetooth Emit'. |
