Problem Solving

1. After installing the interface, the multimedia won’t turn on.

• Review the installation and check if the cables are connected according to the

images on pages 3 and 4;

• Check if all the cables are well connected, and if there are no wires coming out

of the connectors.

2. The rear camera won’t show up when I put my car on reverse.

• Check the Setup Menu to see if the “Camera Tras (Rear Camera)” option is

correctly configured.

3. When I put my vehicle on reverse, I see the message “Incompatible

Video”.

• Check the compatibility of your rear camera. LVDS is only compatible with

NTSC video system cameras; other formats may not work.

4. I have installed a front camera, but it doesn’t work after I put my car out

of the reverse gear.

• Access the Setup Menu (page 11), go to option AV3 and set it as “CAM

FRONTAL”.

5. I can see the images of the accessories (i.e. DVD, TV), but I can’t hear

any audio.

• Make sure to access the auxiliary audio entry before accessing the

accessories video.
