Common problems & Your solution:

Your original menu is not displayed correctly?

Select the correct original screen size:

Settings > Vehicle settings > Original screen resolution of the car

If you have sound problems:

Please connect the system to the Connect original AUX IN with an AUX cable, then connect to Bluetooth from CarPlay and listen to music.

Possible sources of error:

  1. In the old system, AUX IN must be stored as media source
  2. No AUX cable connected (from AUX OUT on the wiring harness to AUX IN from the vehicle)
  3. Optic cable not re-pinned

Your PDC view is not displayed (correctly):

is just a matter of attitude.

Settings > Back Settings > Original Camera

Even if you don't originally have a rear view camera, this must be selected.


For vehicles without the original display, "not exist" is selected so that CarPlay does not try to switch to the old system.

If you ordered a rear view camera, please select "aftermarket camera." You can find the exact settings in the camera's installation instructions.

If you have general questions about installation, please watch our video instructions on YouTube.
