It is highly recommended to refer to your vehicle's service manual and your Android radio's installation guide for detailed instructions.

1. Preparation: Park your vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the ignition. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
2. Access Radio Compartment: Carefully remove the trim panels and screws necessary to access the factory radio. Refer to your vehicle's specific disassembly instructions.
3. Connect Wiring Harness: Disconnect the factory wiring harness from the original radio. Connect the provided EKBMELLJ wiring harness to the vehicle's factory harness. Ensure all connectors click securely into place.

5. Operating Instructions

The EKBMELLJ Canbus Box FT-RZ-01 operates automatically once correctly installed. Its primary function is to translate the vehicle's digital signals into a format compatible with your Android car radio. After installation, the Android radio should recognize and utilize the vehicle's Canbus data for features such as:

• Steering Wheel Control integration (volume, track skip, mode, etc.)
• Display of vehicle information (e.g., door open warnings, climate control status, if supported by the radio)
• Automatic illumination control
• Reverse gear detection for camera activation

No manual configuration is typically required for the Canbus box itself. Any settings related to Canbus functions will be managed through your Android car radio's interface.

6. Maintenance

The Canbus Box FT-RZ-01 is designed for maintenance-free operation. To ensure its longevity:

• Keep the device and its connections dry and free from moisture.
• Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Do not apply excessive force or impact to the unit.
• Periodically check connections for any signs of loosening or corrosion, especially if experiencing intermittent issues.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installation, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power to Radio: Verify that the main power connections from the wiring harness to the vehicle and the radio are secure. Check vehicle fuses.
• Steering Wheel Controls Not Working: Ensure the Canbus Box is correctly plugged into the wiring harness. Check your Android radio's settings for Canbus or steering wheel control configuration options. Some radios require manual mapping of buttons.
• Intermittent Functionality: Inspect all wiring harness connections for looseness or damage. Ensure proper insulation.
• Incorrect Vehicle Information Displayed: Confirm that your Android radio's Canbus settings are configured for the correct vehicle model (if applicable).
• No Sound: Check speaker wire connections from the harness to the radio and to the vehicle. Ensure the radio's volume is up and not muted.

If problems persist after performing these checks, it is recommended to consult a professional car audio installer or contact EKBMELLJ customer support.
