Setup and Installation
Installation of this car stereo requires basic automotive electrical knowledge. Professional installation is recommended.

- DAB+ Module Installation: Attach the DAB+ antenna to the windshield (typically on the right side A-pillar) and connect it to the DAB+ USB module. Plug the DAB+ module into the rear USB-A port of the car stereo.
- Rearview Camera Connection: Connect the rearview camera's video output (yellow RCA) to the "CAMIN" input on the stereo. Connect the camera's power cable to the reversing lamp power. Ensure both yellow RCA connectors (CVBSIN and CAMIN) are connected, even if a rearview camera is not installed, as this can affect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality.
