correctly, securely, and completely according to the connection
instructions. If it looks good, try swapping it out for a different USB
cable.
2. Consider Power Supply: If the issue persists, your car's USB port
might not be providing enough power. In this case, you'll need an
additional power supply. Please contact our online customer
service for a purchase link and a detailed tutorial: https://youtu.be/

3.Important Note for Y-Cable Use: You'll need to provide your own

varying sizes and resolutions. The restart allows your device to
adapt to your car's specific display settings, preventing issues like
an incomplete or shrunken screen image.
