Troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting:Troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting:
The factory V prewired cable some V vehicles is not shielded
and can cause noise to flow into the audio lines from trunk. This
adapter is not being recognized, sound is noisy and/or keys on radio
are not properly working, this is likely the cause. To resolve this you
can purchase our AA12-V 02 adapter cable and connect directly to
radio or purchase our A2D-V 02.
