1. Power Cable Not Compatible or Does Not Fit

Solutions:

  • If your vehicle uses a large Quadlock connector, the standard power cable can be used directly.

2. Original Wiring Modified or Aftermarket Wiring Installed

Issue: The vehicle wiring has been modified or previously customized, which may cause incompatibility, especially related to CAN communication.

Solution: Please contact customer support and provide a clear photo of the original vehicle connector so we can identify the correct solution.

3. Battery Drain or Unit Does Not Fully Power Off

Issue: The head unit does not shut down completely after the ignition is turned off.

  • The unit can still be powered on after removing the key.
  • The button backlight remains illuminated.
  • CarPlay remains connected while the vehicle is off.

Cause: This is not caused by the head unit itself. It is typically due to an outdated CAN Gateway version that does not transmit the shutdown signal correctly.

Diagnosis:

  1. Headlight test: turn the headlights on and off. If the button backlight responds, CAN communication is partially working.
  2. Bluetooth test: if Bluetooth works normally, some CAN signals are present but the shutdown signal may be missing.

Solution: Install the yellow power drain fix wire.

  • If the wire was not included, please contact support and we will provide it free of charge.
  • Follow the wiring instructions in the video below.
4. Poor FM or AM Radio Signal

Issue: Weak or unstable radio reception.

  • No signal or very weak signal
  • Very few stations found during scanning
  • Noise or static during playback

Supported frequency range:

  • AM: 530 – 1600 KHz
  • FM: 87.5 – 108 MHz

Troubleshooting:

  1. Check antenna orientation and ensure the connector is firmly seated.
