6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common solutions:

• Unit not powering on: Check all power connections (B+, ACC, GND). Ensure the vehicle's fuse for the stereo is intact.
• No sound: Verify speaker wiring connections. Check EQ settings to ensure no channels are muted or set to extreme low volume.
• Touchscreen unresponsive or inaccurate: Perform the "Touch Calibration" as described in Section 5.5.
• Radio changing screens randomly: This could indicate a software glitch or an issue with the CANbus connection. Try performing a factory reset (consult support for specific steps if not in manual) or ensure CAN settings are correct (Section 5.9).
• Navigation issues (e.g., night mode not working): Ensure GPS antenna is properly installed and has a clear view of the sky. Check time settings (Section 5.2) and map application settings for day/night mode preferences. Update map data if possible.
• Bluetooth/Carplay/Android Auto connection issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. Forget previous pairings on both the stereo and your phone, then re-pair. Ensure the S-Play app is running. Check for any conflicting Wi-Fi connections if using wireless Carplay/Android Auto.
• Steering wheel controls not working: Verify CANbus settings (Section 5.9) and perform "Steering Wheel Control Learning" (Section 5.13). Ensure the correct protocol is selected.
• Backup camera not displaying: Check the camera's video input connection and ensure the reverse trigger wire is correctly connected and receiving power when the vehicle is in reverse. Verify "Backcar Source Settings" (Section 5.8).
