FAQ/TROUBLESHOOTING
My Mobile phone will not connect to the head unit
- If you are having trouble connecting your phone to the head unit, try restarting your phone and try again.
- It is also recommended to do a factory reset on the head unit as this will solve most of the connection issues between your phone and your head unit.
- If you are having issues with connecting Android Auto or Apple CarPlay over a USB connection, try using another high quality/shorter length cable. Using low quality cables and longer lengths may cause issues such as drop outs and or connection issues.
- Make sure your phone is up to date with the latest software updates.
Do I have to connect the GPS module for Android Auto/Apple CarPlay to work?
- It is highly recommended to connect the GPS module to the head unit and place it where it has a clear line of sight to the sky as it will assist the GPS tracking for maps when using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
- If you do not use the GPS module then the GPS tracking will rely purely on your phone’s tracking performance which may be spotty depending on the location of the phone in the vehicle.
- Red Blinking Power Light on the Head Unit
• This can mean the head unit doesn’t have enough power to power on the unit or there is a
wiring issue.
Android Auto/Apple CarPlay won’t work unless Park Brake is active but the kit didn’t have a Park Brake connection.
- You may have to manually make a connection between your hand brake and the harness on the headunit for these functions to work.
Issue with microphone on handsfree calls
- Try increase or decreasing the gain in the settings menu (see p.8)
- Ensure that the microphone is connected to the back of the headunit.
- Make sure to use the external microphone provided with this product as other external microphones may be incompatible.
