6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues and provides solutions.
- No Power: Ensure all power cables are securely connected. Check vehicle fuses.
- No Sound: Verify speaker connections. If using an OEM amplifier, confirm the red and white RCA ports are connected to the RCA harness. Check volume levels and audio settings (DSP).
- CarPlay/Android Auto Disconnects: Ensure a stable Bluetooth/USB connection. Try power cycling your phone or the car radio. Check for software updates for both the head unit and your phone.
- GPS Not Working/Maps Not Loading: Ensure the GPS antenna is properly installed and has a clear view of the sky. Verify WiFi connection for online maps. Check Play Store for map software updates.
- Radio Signal Weak/Static: Check the antenna connection. Ensure the unit is set to the correct region for FM frequencies.
- Steering Wheel Controls Not Responding: Access the factory settings (often code 1234) and configure the CANbus options to match your vehicle's year, make, and model. Perform button learning if necessary. Note that the correct year setting might differ from your vehicle's actual year (e.g., a 2014 model might require setting to 2003-2009).
- Screen Polarization Issue (Black with Polarized Glasses): This unit may have a vertical screen polarization. If you wear polarized sunglasses, the screen might appear black. There is no software fix for this hardware characteristic.
- Software Update Issues: If an automatic update fails, factory reset may be required. To perform a factory reset, you might need to wait several minutes for the option to appear. After an update, if button clicks do not match icons, hold five fingers on the screen to initiate touch point learning.
- Flimsy Mounting: The unit is primarily held by trim clips. Ensure all clips are securely engaged.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Roinvou Android Radio, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the screen and exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
