• 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.
• The two red rod extension cables (3 and 4) do not need to be connected.

3.3 Steering Wheel Control (SWC)

The method for connecting 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, go to "SteeringWheel Key" in the manual match settings to activate the button functions.
• With CANBUS Decoder: Connect the CANBUS before powering on the machine. Navigate to Apps > Settings > Factory Settings (password: 8888/8317) > Vehicle > Automotive type. Select the brand of the CANBUS decoder and then the matching model and year according to your vehicle's specifications.
