We would like to share some experience with you about how to fix your car DVD GPS if it fails to work.

First, I would like to tell you one of the most useful methods to check the head unit. It’s reset the head unit and un-plug and re-plug the head unit. The car DVD player will not respond when you touch the screen or press the buttons. It’s totally dead. At this point, you need to reset the head unit and un-plug and re-plug the power connector. When your phone is dead, what will you? You will power off it, and turn it on. They are same.

Then we would like to discuss the problem we may often meet with when we use the head unit.

Why will the unit not power on? (Power light is off, and no picture)
A. Make sure all power cables are connected correctly. (ACC & BATT+ are connected to +12V; GND is connected to ground (-).)
B. Check the fuse at the back of the unit. If it has blown replace it with another fuse of the same type then reconnect power.
C. If the fuse is fine, check with a multimeter to confirm the voltage is a steady DC +12V.

What should I do if there’s no picture on the screen? (Power light is on)
A. Disconnect BATT+, and then reconnect power to reset unit.
B. Check if the voltage is a steady DC +12V.

D. Re-install the front panel. (This only applies to DVD players with detachable front panel.)

Why the disc can not be put in?

B. Check if there is a disc in the unit.

Why won’t the unit play my disc?
A. Try all kinds of discs with different formats such as DVD/DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW/VCD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3/MP4 etc. Check if it can not play all kind of discs, or just can not play certain kind of discs.

Apart from this, a good after sale of the company which you buy the car DVD player from is very important because you may need them to repair the head unit. And I will strongly recommend you to buy the Android 2 din car stereo from Eonon，it is affordable and it can provide as long as 2 year warranty.
