Troubleshooting
- Unit Does Not Power On:
Ensure all power cables are securely connected and the car battery is properly charged. Check the fuse in the car's fuse box and the unit's wiring harness.
- No Sound:
Verify speaker connections. Check volume levels on the unit and ensure the mute function is not active. Confirm RCA cable connections if using external amplifiers.
- GPS Signal Issues / Offline Map Download Failure:
Ensure the GPS antenna is mounted in a location with a clear view of the sky. For offline maps, ensure a stable internet connection during download attempts. If issues persist, try resetting the device to factory settings (note: this will erase all user data) or contact support for assistance with map reinstallation.
- Slow Performance / Unresponsive Touchscreen:
Close unnecessary background applications. Clear system cache if available in settings. If performance remains slow, a factory reset might be necessary. Ensure the unit's firmware is up to date.
- Radio Cannot Find Stations (No "Seek" Function):
The radio interface may require manual tuning through frequencies. Use the up/down arrows to incrementally adjust the frequency. Preset your favorite stations for quick access.
- CarPlay/Android Auto Not Connecting:
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the stereo and your smartphone. Confirm your phone is discoverable. Try forgetting the device on both ends and re-pairing. Ensure your phone's operating system is up to date.
- Backup Camera Not Displaying:
Check the camera's power and video input connections. Ensure the "CAM-IN" cable is properly connected to the stereo. Verify the camera is receiving power when the vehicle is in reverse.
