6.2. General Care

Keep the adapter unit and connections free from dust and moisture. Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures. Clean the car's display screen with a soft, lint-free cloth.

7. Troubleshooting

• Low Picture Quality (480P): Some car models only support 480P pixel input. The adapter's output resolution is limited by your car's OEM screen capabilities. This is not a defect of the adapter.
• Sound Quality Issues: If sound quality is poor, ensure your phone's audio output is correctly routed through the car's Bluetooth system. Firmware updates can also address sound quality.
• CarPlay/Android Auto Not Connecting:
  1. Verify Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are active on your smartphone.
  2. Ensure your phone is paired with the adapter's Bluetooth (e.g., "CAR-BT_94B9").
  3. Try restarting your car and phone.
• Backup Camera Not Displaying: Refer to Section 4.4 "Reverse Camera Settings" and ensure 'OE Camera' is selected in the adapter's settings.
• Loss of Radio Functionality in CarPlay: When using CarPlay, the radio function may be temporarily unavailable. You may need to switch back to the OEM interface to access the radio.
• Audio Source Switching Issue: After connecting to CarPlay, if you switch back to the OEM interface and then return to CarPlay, you might need to select the FM or another audio source icon first, and then click the Bluetooth icon to ensure audio output.
