2. Setup and Installation

This cable adapter is designed for straightforward plug-and-play installation. Ensure your car Android head unit has a 16-pin socket for compatibility.

2.1 Identifying Components

• 16-Pin Plug: Connects directly to the 16-pin socket on your car Android head unit.
• ISO Female Connector: Connects to the vehicle's standard ISO plug.
• Copper Wire Cable: Provides reliable electrical connections between the head unit and the vehicle's wiring system.

2.2 Connection Steps

1. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts.
2. Locate the 16-pin socket on the back of your 2-DIN car Android head unit.
3. Carefully insert the 16-pin plug of the adapter into the corresponding socket on the head unit. Ensure it is fully seated.
4. Locate the ISO plug in your vehicle's dashboard wiring harness.
5. Connect the ISO female connector of the adapter to the vehicle's ISO plug.
6. Reconnect the vehicle's battery and test the head unit's functionality.

3. Operating Considerations

Once installed, the cable adapter enables the proper functioning of your 2-DIN car Android head unit by providing the necessary power and signal connections from the vehicle's ISO system.

3.1 Steering Wheel Control

The adapter includes two dedicated wires (Key1 and Key2) for steering wheel control functionality. These wires are not part of the standard ISO connector and must be connected separately to your car's steering wheel control function wires if you wish to utilize this feature. Consult your vehicle's wiring diagram for specific steering wheel control wire locations.

4. Maintenance

The ROLEDO 16 Pin to ISO Cable Adapter requires minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and reliable performance:

• Ensure all connections remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, moisture, or physical stress.
• Do not attempt to modify the wiring harness, as this may damage the product or your vehicle's electrical system.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installation, consider the following common problems and solutions:

5.1 Head Unit Loses Settings After Installation

Problem: Your car Android head unit loses some settings (e.g., radio presets, clock time) after the vehicle is turned off or the ignition is cycled.

Solution: This issue often occurs because some ISO connectors may exchange the function of pin A4 (constant power/memory) and pin A7 (ignition switch). To resolve this, you may need to manually swap the wires for pin A4 and A7 on the ISO connector side of the adapter to match your vehicle's specific wiring configuration. Consult the wiring diagrams (Figure 4 and Figure 5) for reference.

5.2 Adapter Not Suitable for All Car Android Head Units

Problem: The adapter does not fit or function with your car Android head unit.

Solution: This harness adapter is specifically designed for car Android head units that feature a 16-pin socket. Verify that your head unit has this specific 16-pin socket type. If your head unit has a different connector, this adapter will not be compatible.

5.3 Steering Wheel Controls Not Functioning

Problem: After installation, the steering wheel control buttons do not operate the head unit.

Solution: Ensure that the Key1 and Key2 wires from the adapter are correctly connected to the corresponding steering wheel control wires in your vehicle. These wires are separate from the main ISO connector and require individual connection. Verify the correct wiring using your vehicle's specific wiring diagram.
