Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your car stereo, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps. For more complex problems, please contact customer support.

Backup Camera Not Displaying

If your backup camera image is not displaying, follow these steps to check the system:

1. Check Cable Connection: Ensure the camera extension cable is correctly connected to the Backup Camera Video Input cable, not the CVBS cable in the RCA harness.
2. Check Reverse Signal Wire: Locate the third wire in the power harness (counting from the black ground wire) and ensure it is correctly connected to the reverse control wire using a "T" splice. Do not cut off the reverse control wire; just peel and connect.
3. Connect Extension Cable to Camera: Ensure the extension cable is securely plugged into the camera.
4. Insulate Power/Ground Wires: For the power and ground wires on the extension cable, do not connect them to any wires. Separate them and insulate them individually to prevent short circuits.
5. Check Settings: In the car stereo settings, navigate to "Car Settings" and under "Reverse Mode Selection," select "AUTO."
