[admin]

This topic is created to tell you the correct way to run our Car Radio DVD GPS Players. Besides, it will teach you how to solve the common operation problems. You may find the solution via the following posts if you have any simple problem with your item.

Cable Connection

Please correctly connect the cable according to the connection diagram on the top surface of your item.

Power cable

There are three power wires in the ISO wiring harness, they are red, yellow and black. Please connect red wire with the ignition wire. Yellow wire has to be connected to constant 12V power supply. And black wire is for the negative power.
If your item has steering wheel control function, it should have three steering wheel control wires(except for can bus interface controlled head units) which are also two positive and one negative. Please pay attention not to mix up the power cable and steering wheel control cable, or your item will be burned.

Brake cable

The brake cable should be connected to your car's hand brake. In this way you will only be allowed to watch videos when parking your car. To meet your front passenger's demand of watching videos while you are driving, you can connect the brake cable to your car's negative power. But we strongly suggest drivers not to watch videos while driving.

Audio cable

There are 4 pairs of audio wires in the ISO wiring harness, they are grey, green, white and purple. You need to connect each pair to the corresponding car speaker. For example, connect the white pair of wires to the front left speaker, one for the positive and the other for the negative.
Attention:
Please don’t let the wires touch each other. You can put some insulating tape on them, especially for those unused wires.

If your panel doesn’t keep the position memory, please check the power cable connection. Pay attention that the yellow wire has to be connected to constant 12V power supply, or no memory will be kept.

Touch Screen
