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.
