Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
1. Cannot turn on the car stereo.	1.1: Check the vehicle's battery voltage (should be 12V). 1.2: Ensure the red and yellow wires are correctly connected to the positive side of the power supply, and the black line to negative. 1.3: Check the fuse. Replace with the same type if blown. Do not connect the original car plug directly if it's not compatible.
2. Display shows "Video Warning" or cannot watch video while driving.	Turn off the "Video Warning" function in the stereo's settings.
3. Car radio shows "No Signal" when reversing.	Check if the camera's line is properly connected to the car radio. The video port of the rear camera must be inserted into the "CAMIN" port of the radio.
4. Cannot search FM radio stations.	4.1: Ensure the radio antenna is inserted. 4.2: Check if the radio antenna is plugged in securely. Insert the antenna several times to ensure a good connection. 4.3: Signal strength may be poor. Try moving to a location with better reception. 4.4: If the radio antenna is broken, replace it.
5. Cannot connect Bluetooth.	5.1: Open your phone's settings, enable Bluetooth, search for Bluetooth devices, and find the player's Bluetooth model to pair. If prompted for a pairing code, enter 0000; if not, try 1234 or 123456. 5.2: Try using another mobile phone to test the Bluetooth function. If all methods fail, unplug the power plug from the back of the player and plug it back in after 3 minutes.
