• No Rear Camera Display: Check all cable connections for the rear camera, especially the connection to the reverse light. Ensure the camera lens is clean and unobstructed.
• Audio Problems: If using FM transmission, try a different FM frequency to avoid interference. If using AUX, ensure the cable is fully inserted and your car's audio input is set to AUX. Check Bluetooth connection for Bluetooth audio.
