4.1 General Wiring

Refer to the 'Port Details & Package List' image in Section 2 for a visual guide to all connections. Ensure all cables are securely connected to their corresponding ports.

Proper connection of the rear view camera is crucial for its functionality. Even if the camera is not immediately used, the reverse input cable must be plugged in to prevent interference with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals.

• Red Cable ①: Connects to the positive terminal of the car's reverse light cable.
• Black Cable ②: Connects to the negative terminal of the car's reverse light cable.
• There is no need to connect the other two red extension cables ③ and ④.

4.3 Steering Wheel Control (SWC)

The method for activating steering wheel controls depends on whether your vehicle has a CANBUS decoder.

• Without CANBUS Decoder: Connect the plugs or the steering wheel control wires (Key1/Key2) in the power cable to the corresponding port or wire of your original car. Then, navigate to the unit's settings (Car Settings -> Factory (000000) -> SWC) to manually match and activate the button functions.
• With CANBUS Decoder: Connect the CANBUS decoder before powering on the radio. Then, go to the unit's settings (Car Settings -> Factory (000000) -> CarType Setting). Select the brand of the CANBUS decoder and then choose the matching model and year to ensure proper SWC functionality.
