Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your CAMECHO car stereo, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Unit does not power on.	Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and the vehicle's 12V outlet. Check the vehicle's 12V outlet for power (e.g., by plugging in another device). Verify the vehicle's fuse for the 12V outlet is not blown.
No audio output.	Check the volume level on both the stereo and your car's audio system. Ensure the correct audio output mode (Built-in Speaker, Bluetooth, FM, AUX) is selected on the stereo. If using FM transmission, verify the stereo and car radio are tuned to the same empty frequency. If using Bluetooth, ensure the stereo is properly paired with your car's Bluetooth.
GPS signal is weak or inaccurate.	Ensure the GPS antenna is securely connected. Relocate the GPS antenna to a position with a clearer view of the sky, away from obstructions. Ensure the unit is connected to Wi-Fi for updated map data and faster satellite acquisition.
CarPlay/Android Auto not connecting.	Ensure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on both the stereo and your smartphone. Forget the device on your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pair. Restart both the stereo unit and your smartphone. Ensure your phone's operating system is up to date.
Unit freezes or is unresponsive.	Perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button until the unit restarts. If unresponsive, disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds and then reconnect. Ensure the unit is not overheating; ensure proper ventilation around the device.
