4. Rear Camera: Connect the rear camera input cable to the designated port on the autoradio. Route the camera cable neatly to the rear of the vehicle and connect the camera. Ensure the camera's power supply is connected to the vehicle's reverse light circuit so it activates automatically when reverse gear is engaged.

5. Maintenance

• Screen Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the touchscreen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or solvents, as these can damage the screen coating.

• General Care: Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures (hot or cold), direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.

6. Troubleshooting

No Power:

Check all power connections (B+, ACC, GND) to ensure they are secure and correctly wired. Verify that the vehicle's fuse for the radio is not blown. Test the power supply at the harness connectors.

No Sound:

Check all speaker connections for proper polarity and secure contact. Verify volume levels on the autoradio and ensure it is not muted. Check audio output settings and ensure external amplifiers (if used) are powered on and functioning.

GPS Signal Lost/Weak:

Ensure the GPS antenna is properly connected to the unit and has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Relocate the antenna if it is under metal or other signal-blocking materials. Check GPS settings in the unit.

Bluetooth Connection Issues:

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the autoradio and your mobile phone. Delete previous pairings from both devices and try reconnecting. Restart both the autoradio and your phone. Ensure your phone is within range.

Rear Camera Not Displaying:

Check the camera's power connection (ensure it's connected to the reverse light circuit) and the RCA video input cable connection to the autoradio. Verify the camera itself is functional. Some units require a specific reverse trigger wire to be connected.

Steering Wheel Controls Not Working:

Verify the CANBUS decoder is correctly connected and configured for your vehicle model. Reconfigure the steering wheel control settings in the unit's menu, ensuring each button is properly mapped.
