Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UNITOPSCI car stereo, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Power | Loose wiring, blown fuse, vehicle ignition off. | Check power and ground connections. Inspect vehicle's fuse box and stereo's inline fuse. Ensure vehicle ignition is on. |
| No Sound | Speaker wires disconnected, volume too low, incorrect audio source. | Verify speaker wire connections. Increase volume. Select correct audio input (FM, USB, AUX, Bluetooth). |
| CarPlay/Android Auto Not Connecting | Faulty USB cable, phone not compatible, software glitch. | Use original or certified USB cable. Ensure phone OS is supported (Android 10.0 or below, iOS 13.4 or below). Restart phone and stereo. |
| Mirror Link Not Working | Incompatible phone model (e.g., Samsung), incorrect connection steps. | Note that Mirror Link does not work with Samsung phones. Re-check connection steps and ensure phone settings allow mirroring. |
