Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ESSGOO display, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Device repeatedly shuts down or restarts. | Check power connection for stability. Ensure the cigarette lighter port provides consistent power. Test with a different power source if possible. |
| Loss of sound quality or poor audio via Bluetooth/AUX. | Ensure the AUX cable is fully inserted. For Bluetooth, ensure no interference and that your car's audio system is properly selected. Note that the built-in speaker and direct AUX/Bluetooth connections might offer basic quality, consider using the FM transmitter for better integration with car speakers if available. |
| Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto connection is unstable or fails to connect. | Ensure your smartphone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on. Restart both the display and your phone. Check for any software updates for the display. Ensure your phone's OS version meets the compatibility requirements (iOS 12+/Android 11+). |
| Screen mirroring (Mirror Link) does not work for certain videos. | Some video content may be protected by digital rights management (DRM) and cannot be mirrored. This is a limitation of the content, not the device. |
| Display is too bright or too dim. | Adjust the brightness manually in the display settings. Check if the automatic day/night mode is enabled and functioning correctly. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
