Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, refer to the solutions below. For persistent problems, contact customer support.
Dashboard Language Changed to Chinese
After installation, some users may find their car's instrument panel language has changed. This can often be resolved by navigating to the car's settings menu on the head unit and changing the language to English or your preferred language. If the issue persists, contact customer support for a compatible agreement version.
Backup Camera Not Working
If the backup camera does not display an image when in reverse, check all connections, especially the rear camera input cable and power supply to the camera. Ensure the camera is properly installed and functioning. If the issue continues, the camera unit may be defective, and you should contact support.
Power/Fuse Issues During Installation
The new car stereo may draw more power than the original unit. To prevent blowing a fuse during installation, it is recommended to have your car running when you plug in the new head unit. If a fuse has already blown, replace it with one of the correct amperage.
