Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EONON GA2197, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Touchscreen Unresponsive/Misbehaving: If the touch panel is unresponsive or registers incorrect inputs, try restarting the unit. If the issue persists, ensure the screen is clean and free of debris. In rare cases, a factory reset might be necessary (consult support before performing).
• Slow Response/Lag: If the unit feels slow or applications launch with a delay, try closing unused background applications. Ensure there is sufficient free storage space. A restart can often resolve temporary performance issues.
• Backup Camera Delay/Not Switching: If the backup camera image is delayed or doesn't switch automatically when reverse gear is engaged, double-check the wiring connections for the backup camera input. Ensure the camera itself is functioning correctly.
• Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Connection Issues: If you experience difficulty connecting wirelessly, ensure your smartphone's Wi-Fi (especially 5GHz for Android Auto) and Bluetooth are enabled and properly paired. Update the Android Auto/CarPlay app on your phone to the latest version. For Android Auto, confirm your phone meets the 5GHz Wi-Fi requirement.
• Keyless Entry Interference: Some users have reported interference with keyless entry systems. This can sometimes be resolved by ensuring the unit's power is off when the vehicle is parked and not in use, or by adjusting the unit's position slightly if possible. If the issue persists, consult a professional installer or Eonon support.
• Poor Wi-Fi Reception: If Wi-Fi signal strength is low, ensure the Wi-Fi antenna is properly connected and positioned. Try moving your Wi-Fi hotspot closer to the unit if using tethering.
• No Sound/Poor Sound Quality: Check all audio cable connections. Verify the volume settings on the unit and ensure the equalizer settings are not causing distortion.
