Troubleshooting

Q: Unit doesn't power up.

A: Use a multi-meter to check for 12v+ on the red and yellow wires. Check for proper Ground on the Black wire.

Q: My video does not play.

A: Attach the “PARK” wire to the parking brake. When this wire is grounded, the video will play (Grounding trigger of the parking brake).

Q: Reverse camera does not come up on the screen.

A: Attach the “BACK UP CAMERA” wire to the reverse tail light 12v+. Ensure the camera is connected and sending a video signal.

Q: Can I set up steering wheel control?

A: Key 1 and Key 2 wires need to be wired to your vehicle's steering wheel column.

Q: The time I set is not saved after device reboot.

A: Are other settings saved? If not: Check that the yellow memory wire is attached to a 12v+ constant source. Turn off GPS auto update by going to radio settings > Set Time > switch off auto update.

Q: My GPS gets no reception.

A: Check if the antenna is properly connected. Mount the antenna directly to your vehicle (the GPS antenna is magnetically mounted and will boost GPS reception when attached). Check alternate antenna placement to test for interference.

Q: How do I set the time?

A: Go to System setting, then set time.

Q: How do I turn up GPS instruction volume (I Can't hear it over music)?

A: Change GPS sound settings. Go to Navi > Settings > Sounds > Set GPS voice level to max > Set radio volume to min (Adjust accordingly).

Q: Where can I download firmware updates?

A: This unit's hardware does not allow it to be updated with new OS or firmware.

Q: My BT microphone is not working as expected.

A: Check that nothing is covering the microphone port. Check if closer proximity to the mic affects its pickup. Check that the phone connection is good. Make sure the call recipient has speaker volume set to an appropriate level. Check that the mic is not picking up too much background noise. Note: The built-in mic cannot be changed, replaced, or upgraded.

Q: I am having trouble setting up Wireless BT.

A: Check that your device is Wireless BT compatible 4.0+. Check if you are able to pair with alternate devices via Wireless BT. Clear out your device history in your Wireless BT setting menu and attempt to pair/connect again.

Q: How do I play video files? My unit cannot read my digital video files.

A: Make sure the SD card is compatible. Check the file format of your file (you may need to convert your video file to an alternate file format).

Touch Screen Calibration

You have entered the 'Touch Screen Calibration Menu'. For optimum touchscreen performance, this feature enables you to enjoy the best functionality of your device's touch screen. To complete the touchscreen calibration, an "X" [x-icon] will appear in circles on the screen in numbered order. Continue to press the center of the "X" as it passes through each numbered circle.

(In circle number one, you will see an "X". Touch the center of the "X", then the "X" will move to circle number two. Continue to touch the center of the "X" as it moves to the other circles in numbered order. If calibration senses an error, the process may restart; repeat if necessary.)
