Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your car stereo, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your car stereo, consider the following common solutions:

• No Power: Check all power connections and the vehicle's fuse box. Ensure the battery is properly reconnected if it was disconnected during installation.
