TROUBLESHOOTING
1. After installing the interface, the multimedia won’t turn on.
• Review the installation process and check if the connections have been done
according to the images shown on pages 3 and 4;
• Check if the connectors are plugged in tightly and if there are no wires loose on
the connectors.
2. When I put the car on reverse, the camera image won’t show.
• Check on the setup menu if the “Camera Tras” (Rear Camera) option is set up
properly.
3. When I put the car on reverse, I see an “incompatible video” message.
• Check if the rear camera installed is compatible. LVDS will only accept
cameras that work with the NTSC video system. Other formats are incompatible.
4. I have installed a front camera, but it won’t show after I take the car off
of reverse.
• Access the Setup Menu (page 11), go to the AV3 option and set it up as CAM
FRONTAL (FRONT CAM).
5. I see the accessories (DVD, TV, et. al.) images, but I can hear no audio.
• Before accessing the accessories, you need to select the AUX audio source
from the multimedia menu.
