5.3 Post-Installation Checks

- Secure Components: Once confirmed working, carefully route and secure all wiring to prevent pinching or rattling. Reinstall trim panels and the head unit.
6. Operating Instructions

- Vehicle Information Display: Depending on your Android head unit and vehicle model, certain vehicle information (e.g., door status, climate control settings, parking sensor data) may be displayed on the head unit screen.
- Reverse Gear Detection: The Canbus box provides a reverse signal to the head unit, automatically switching to the reverse camera view when the vehicle is put into reverse (if a camera is installed and connected).

The QSZN Android Canbus Box GM-RZ-10 is designed for maintenance-free operation. To ensure longevity:
- Keep the module and wiring free from moisture and extreme temperatures.
