Why can't I tune into radio stations on my REI Car Receiver?
If you're having trouble tuning into radio stations, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure the antenna cable is properly connected to your REI Car Receiver. A weak signal can also prevent tuning, so check the antenna connection. Additionally, the radio might be in the wrong frequency steps. To resolve this, check the frequency spacing in the radio’s SERVICE menu.
What to do if the audio is distorted or low on my REI Car Receiver?
Distorted or low audio on your REI Car Receiver can stem from a couple of issues. Check if the source audio level is too weak or overdriven. You can adjust the volume level of the auxiliary source to correct this. Also, a large bitrate of the audio file can cause distortion. Try changing the sample frequency or bitrate of the file.
How to fix a REI ECD-5500 with backlighting but no LCD display?

What to do if my REI ECD-5500 radio does not respond to the front buttons?

Why is my USB media not playing or continuously loading on my REI ECD-5500 Car Receiver?
If your USB media is not playing or keeps loading on your REI Car Receiver, the media file type might be incorrect. Convert the files to a usable format, referring to the file requirements section of the manual for compatible formats.
Why does my iPod screen display 'loading' for a long time on my REI ECD-5500 Car Receiver?
If your iPod® screen displays “loading” for a long period of time on your REI Car Receiver, it could be due to the device not being supported. While the radio supports many iPod® models, not all are guaranteed to work. You can try waiting for the iPod® to load or reconnecting the 30-pin plug. If it continues loading, the device may not be supported or have a low battery. Consider using the AUX input or a Bluetooth® connection instead.
Why isn't my REI ECD-5500 charging my device?
If your REI Car Receiver is not charging your device, it might be because the device requires more current than the USB can provide. Unplug the device and try again. The USB port cannot support more than 5V/500mA.
