5. External Microphone Connection

An external microphone is provided for improved call quality and voice command recognition. Connect it to the designated microphone input on the car radio.

If your vehicle supports steering wheel controls, they must be manually configured. Connect the 'Key-1' wire from the car radio to your vehicle's steering wheel control wire. Then, access the settings menu on the car radio to program the buttons. This function does not support vehicles with Canbus systems.

Operating Instructions

Press the power button to turn the unit on or off. Use the rotary knob for volume control and other menu navigation as indicated on the screen.

Note: Some Android phones may not be compatible with Android Auto due to manufacturer limitations. We recommend checking compatibility directly with your smartphone manufacturer. Voice assistants like Siri and Google Assistant are supported for hands-free control.

4. Radio (FM/AM/RDS)

The car radio integrates an FM/AM radio with RDS functionality. The RDS feature displays only the station frequency, not the station name. You can save your favorite stations for quick access.

5. Type-C, USB, and AUX Ports

The Type-C and USB ports are primarily for charging your smartphone and for wired CarPlay/Android Auto connections. They do not transfer data for general file access, but the USB port can read audio files from a USB flash drive. The AUX input allows you to connect external devices for enhanced audio playback.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

• General Cleaning: Keep the unit free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean around buttons and ports.

• Avoid Liquids: Do not expose the car radio to excessive moisture or liquids. If liquid spills on the unit, power it off immediately and allow it to dry completely before use.

• Temperature: Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can affect its performance and lifespan.

Troubleshooting

1. Power Loss or Unit Not Turning On

If your car loses power after installation, or the car radio does not turn on after regular use, it likely indicates that the ACC (Accessory) and B+ (Battery Positive) cables of your car were inverted during installation. This can cause battery drain. It is necessary to reconnect these cables correctly according to the wiring diagram.

2. Screen Issues

In case of screen problems, do not immediately return the product. Please send us a photo confirming the defect. We will offer a replacement or refund directly, without complications.

3. Bluetooth Pairing Issues

If the Bluetooth pairing with your smartphone is consistently lost, especially after the phone has been away from the vehicle for some time, and requires re-pairing, this may indicate a firmware issue. Ensure your device's firmware is up to date. If the problem persists, please contact customer support for assistance.
