  • Head unit won't power on: Verify wiring connections, check for short-circuiting, and replace the fuse if blown.
  • Display/illumination flashes: Ensure sufficient power supply from the car battery (12V DC).
  • Buttons not functioning: Press the reset button on the panel; if issues persist, unplug and replug the power.
  • Stations cannot be received/sound hampered by noises: Check antenna connection, power antenna control lead, and consider weak broadcast signals.
  • Preset tuning not possible: Indicates a weak broadcast signal.

USB Issues:

  • Cannot play items via USB hub: The unit does not recognize USB devices via a USB hub.

  • Detected device name does not appear: May depend on the status of the other device.
  • Talker's voice cannot be heard: Connect front speakers to the unit, as talker's voice outputs only from front speakers.
  • Call partner says volume is too low/high: Adjust volume using Mic gain adjustment.
  • Echo or noise in phone calls: Lower volume, reduce ambient noise (e.g., close windows, lower AC), and ensure good cellular phone reception.
  • Phone sound quality poor: Relocate the car to an area with better cellular signal.
  • Volume of connected audio device low: Adjust volume on the audio device or the unit.
  • Sound skips during Bluetooth audio playback: Reduce distance between devices, remove cases that interrupt signals, turn off other nearby Bluetooth devices, and note that momentary stops during connection are not malfunctions.
