6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Common Issues and Solutions
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on. | Loose power connection; vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is not providing power. | Check if the Type-C car charger is securely plugged into both the unit and the vehicle's power outlet. Test the power outlet with another device. |
| Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto fails to connect. | Bluetooth/Wi-Fi off on phone; incorrect pairing; phone OS version too old. | Ensure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your phone. Re-attempt pairing. Verify your phone meets the minimum OS requirements (iOS 13+ for CarPlay, Android 11+ with 5G Wi-Fi for Android Auto). For iOS 17.2+, try resetting network settings on your iPhone. |
| Backup camera not displaying. | Loose camera connection; incorrect wiring to reverse light; faulty camera. | Check the video cable connection to the "R-CAM" input. Ensure the camera's power cable is correctly connected to the reverse light. Test camera functionality if possible. |
| Unit randomly reboots on hot days. | Overheating due to high ambient temperature. | Ensure the unit is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. If possible, park in shaded areas or use a sunshade. Allow the car interior to cool down before prolonged use. |
