If you encounter issues with your HAUXIY Q9S, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|

| Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound). | Incorrect audio output setting, volume too low, cable issue. | Verify the selected audio output method (Bluetooth, FM, AUX, Built-in Speaker). Adjust volume on both the Q9S and your car stereo. Check AUX cable connection if using. Ensure FM frequency is clear if using FM transmitter. |
| Screen unresponsive or frozen. | Software glitch, temporary error. | Perform a soft reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the power. If the issue persists, look for a small reset button (often recessed) and press it with a thin object. |
