Performance That Demands Attention

 

Under the hood, this unit is an absolute beast. The Octa Core 2.0GHz CPU combined with the high-performance 7862S chip and ample memory options (up to 8GB Flash and 128GB Memory) delivers buttery-smooth performance. It runs on the latest Android 13 system, providing a foundation for superior custom settings and a responsive user experience.

 

Intelligent Connectivity and User Experience

 

The days of fumbling with wires are over. Built-in Wireless Carplay and Android Auto instantly link your smartphone, mirroring essential functions for safer, smarter driving.

 

Audio Excellence with a Professional Edge

 

The audio quality is where the S-Series truly shines. Equipped with a High-quality DSP chip and the BU32107EFV chip (specifically addressing bass enhancement and filtering), your music sounds richer, deeper, and more dynamic. The Professional radio chip ensures more stable reception and less noise, a crucial detail often overlooked in aftermarket radios. And for the ultimate audiophile setup, the Optical and Coaxial digital audio output (S5-S8 series) is a premium feature rarely seen at this level.

 

Personalized Interaction

 

The Personalized UI Design is a triumph of user-centric design. Common functions are integrated onto the desktop, and the unique "Day & Night" mode ensures optimal visibility regardless of the time. With multiple theme UIs independently developed, you can genuinely tailor the aesthetic to your preference.

We were particularly impressed with the advanced features:

• 4G Network support (S3-S8 series): With a SIM card slot, the unit transforms into a truly connected device, offering access to high-speed data.

• Online Radio: A powerful feature that utilizes the internet to search multiple channels across 20 countries, giving you global access to content.

• Advanced Voice Control (Optional Code): While it requires an additional purchase, the ability to control the radio by voice significantly improves driving safety.

• Customizable Desktop: The ability to display local music, radio, Spotify, and even split-screen two apps (like navigation and music) simultaneously offers unparalleled multitasking capability.

Power and Initial Setup Issues

2. The car radio won't turn on. What should I check?

 

First, ensure the radio's required voltage is 12V. If you are testing the unit outside of the car, try this:

• Combine the red and yellow wires and connect them to the positive side of the power supply.

• Connect the black wire to the negative side of the power supply.

Crucial Note: You must use the power cables we provide to connect the radio. Do not attempt to plug your original car's plug directly into our unit.

If the radio still won't turn on, you may need to check the following (refer to Q11 as well):

• Test the radio with a new fuse of the same type.

---

 

11. What if the radio still won't turn on (advanced checks)?

 

1. Check Power Connections: The radio requires three specific connections to turn on:

   • ACC (G3) and 12V (G2) must be connected to the car's positive 12V power supply.

   • G1 must be connected to the negative (ground) power supply.

2. Verify Internal Connection: The connection wires inside the radio may have come loose during shipping. Open the back cover to check and reconnect any loose wires.

3. Contact Support: If the above steps fail, please send us a video showing the power cord connected normally and a test with a multimeter confirming the connection cord is receiving 12V.

Camera and Display Issues

3. Why does the radio display "No Signal" when I put the car in reverse?

 

Ensure the rear camera's video cable is correctly connected to the radio. The rear camera's video connector must be plugged into the "CAMIN" port on the car radio.

---

 

4. Why does the screen show "!" and "Can't watch video while driving" when I use USB to watch videos?

 

This is a safety feature. To disable it, simply go into the radio's settings and turn off the "Video Warning" function.

---

 

9. The screen display is abnormal. What can I do?

 

1. Try clicking the one-key recovery button in the settings.

2. If that doesn't work, remove the screw on the back of the unit, check if the screen cable is loose, and then firmly reconnect the screen cable.

Radio (FM) Reception Issues

5. Why can't the radio search for or find FM stations?

 

Please check the following potential issues:

• Antenna Connection: Is the radio antenna inserted? Please remove and re-insert the antenna a few times to ensure a solid connection.

• Location Signal: Try moving to a different location with better radio reception to test the unit again.

• Car Antenna: Your car's original antenna might be broken or ineffective. Try replacing the car's radio antenna and test again.

---

 

Bluetooth and WiFi Issues

6. Why can't I connect the car radio's Bluetooth?

 

1. On your phone, go to Settings $\rightarrow$ Bluetooth, search for devices, and select the radio's Bluetooth model.

2. If a pairing code is required, try 0000. If that fails, try 1234 or 123456.

3. Try testing the connection with a different mobile phone.

4. Ensure the Bluetooth receiving antenna is properly connected to the back of the unit.

5. If all else fails, unplug the power connector on the back of the player, wait 3 minutes, and plug it back in.

---

 

7. The Bluetooth or WiFi signal is weak. How can I improve it?

 

The Yellow rear camera input connector has two short wires attached. These are the extension cords for the Bluetooth and WiFi antennas. Check them and ensure they are connected properly, or you can extend these wires further to boost the signal strength.

GPS and Navigation Issues

8. The navigation map isn't working.

 

1. Check GPS Signal: Click on the GPS signal detection feature in the radio settings.

   • If you have a signal, try reinstalling a new map or connecting to your mobile WiFi hotspot to update.

   • If you do not have a signal, move your car outside of any garage and test again.

2. Check Antenna Voltage: If the signal is still missing, test the GPS interface voltage on the road. The voltage should be 3.3V. If it is not, the GPS antenna should be replaced.

---

 

Sound and Speaker Issues

10. I'm experiencing abnormal sound.

 

1. Check Wiring Modification: Check if the original car cables have been modified by a previous owner. If they have, you may need to check the speaker cables and reconnect them properly.

2. Check Speakers: (The original text cuts off here, but this likely refers to checking the speakers themselves). Ensure your car's original or modified speakers are in good working order.
