5. How to set Protocal Setting

To set the protocol settings:

1. Navigate to Car Settings -> Factory Settings (password: 8888) -> Parameter Settings -> Protocol settings. Select your car model (e.g., "Daojun").
2. Turn off your car and restart it.
3. You can check the CANBUS connection status ("connect" or "disconnect") via "Car Settings - System info".

6. How to set air conditioner

AC Connection: From the main harness, connect two small white plugs to the back of the unit: one with 2 wires and 8 pins, and another with 4 pins and 4 wires. These are necessary for the controls to display.

AC Settings: Go to "settings -> car information -> about device (code:8888) -> Can type -> 75 -> Accord 7 Double drive air conditioner". If your car has single climate control, choose "Accord 7 single drive air conditioner".

Judging Climate Control Type:

• Method 1: Single AC: The temperature is the same for all vents. Dual AC: Different temperatures can be set for different zones, allowing for cold and warm air simultaneously.
• Method 2: Look for a "DUAL" button on the car's climate control panel. If present, it's Dual Zone; if not, it's likely Single Zone.

If unsure about your car's climate control type, professional installation is recommended.

AC Connection Ports: For Dual AC, connect original car AC plugs to the rear AB port. For Single AC, connect the green power cable included with the package.

7. How to activate Voice Control

8. Installation Steps

Wiring and Testing:

1. Find the power cord: Turn the car key to ACC. Use a multimeter (Universal Watch) set to 20V. Connect the black probe to the power ground (e.g., cigar lighter's outer ironclad) and the red probe to test each wire. Identify positive pole lines (typically two wires around 12V). To distinguish ACC and memory lines, remove the car key; the memory line remains powered.
2. Find the ground wire (negative pole): Use the multimeter in beep mode. Connect the black probe to the power ground. Test each wire except the two power lines. The energized wire is the ground wire. Some cars have two ground wires.
3. Find the horn line: Use the multimeter in beep mode. Connect the black probe to any wire except power and ground. Test remaining wires with the red probe. The energized wire is the horn wire. Repeat for other horn lines if present.
4. Test unit functionality: Before installation, test the unit with a battery or power supply. Connect the red and yellow wires together to the positive pole and the black wire to the negative pole. Turn on the unit. Connect a horn to the horn wire (note: horn wires are usually the same color; white wire typically connects to positive, white with black to negative). Test the unit's functions.
5. Connect Bluetooth: Turn on the unit and the phone's Bluetooth. Search for the unit's name, then connect. To play music via Bluetooth, switch to Bluetooth mode and select songs on your phone. You can also make calls via Bluetooth.
6. Fixing the unit: Fixing methods vary by car. Consult the original unit's fixing method. If screws don't align, use electrician tape to adjust the fit. If the original unit used an iron frame, adapt it for the new unit.
7. Install navigation antenna: Tighten the antenna screws to the unit. Mount the antenna in a location with sunlight or on the windshield for optimal signal reception.
8. Default factory mode password: 8888 (may vary by product).
9. Default Bluetooth Pin Code: 0000/1234.

7. Schematic diagram of reversing camera wiring

Camera Wiring: Use the dedicated Camera Input port, not the RCA cable.

Wiring Steps:

1. Camera power cable: Red wire connects to the positive terminal of the reverse light; black wire connects to the negative terminal.
2. Camera RCA cable: Yellow port connects to the radio's rear input cable, typically labeled "REVERSE/BACK/REAR CAMERA".
3. Trigger Cable: Red wire A (near radio) needs no connection. Red wire B (near camera) connects to the car's rear light positive.

When the car is put in reverse gear, the device will automatically display the rear view image.

Components: 1. Monitor (Not Included), 2. Camera Power Source, 3. Camera (Optional).

Wiring method:

Preparation tools: tape, screwdriver, wire cutters, plastic prying tool, traction wire.

1. Insert the original accessory camera wire harness into the rear license plate light hole and snap it in.
2. Remove trunk lining, pull out the waterproof rubber ring, use a tow line to pull the camera cable out, insert the harness and data connector into the baffle hole, and reinstall the rubber ring.
3. Remove the decorative lining board on the left side of the trunk, plug in the data power integrated extension cable with the camera harness, and route it along the original car harness through the rear trim panel.
4. Peel off the sealing strip on the left side door of the rear seat, route the cable into the rear cockpit, and pull out the data power integrated plug and remaining extension cords.
5. Secure the trunk, insert the extension cord into the gap of the plastic panel along the rubber strip on the door side, leading to the cockpit door.
6. Remove the storage box under the headlights, pass through the top of the OBD interface, and connect the wiring interface to the navigator interface.

NOTE: Whether using a rear view camera or not, connect the rear view wire. Otherwise, your WiFi and Bluetooth signals may be affected.

8. Fixed machine

1. Fix the bracket on the left and right sides of the machine using screws, adjusting the position according to the actual installation.
2. Screw the machine into its mounting position in the car's central console.
