If the vehicle is near a radio antenna, radio station or other source of strong radio waves and electrical noise, communication may be slow or impossible.

WARNING

Use Wi-Fi® devices only when safe and legal to do so. Your audio unit is fitted with Wi-Fi® antennas. People with implantable cardiac pacemak- ers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant- able cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and the Wi-Fi® antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. Before using Wi-Fi® devices, users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization ther- apy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex- pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.

Symptom	Solution
The Apple Car- Play/Android Auto screen has artifacts and/or audio from Apple Car- Play/Android Auto has noise.	Check if the USB cable being used to connect the device to the system is damaged. To check if the USB cable is damaged inter- nally, connect the device to another system, such as a PC, and check if the device is recog- nized by the connected system. (The device should begin charging when connected.)
	After checking all of the above, try to establish an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection. (P.314, 315)
The map display of the Apple CarPlay Maps app cannot be enlarged or contracted with pinch multi-touch gestures.	As the Apple CarPlay Maps app is not compati- ble with pinch multi-touch gestures, this is not a malfunction.
During Apple CarPlay music application (Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) play- back, if the iPhone is operated to start and play audio from an application that is not compatible with Apple CarPlay* and the onboard device volume is changed, the audio of the incompatible application stops and the system resumes playback of the original music application.	This operation is performed according to the specification of the onboard device, this is not a malfunction.
After interrupt audio (such as navigation route guid- ance) is played from an application that is not compatible with Apple CarPlay while the onboard device is playing audio, the system does not resume playback of the original audio.	This operation is performed according to the specification of the onboard device, this is not a malfunction. Manually change the audio source by yourself. Or, do not use applications that are not compat- ible with Apple CarPlay.* Due to some naviga- tion applications are compatible from iOS 12, update to the latest iOS and application ver- sions.

Symptom	Solution
When using Apple Car- Play, route guidance arrows and turn by turn navigation are not dis- played on the multi-infor- mation display and system display. When using Android Auto, turn by turn navigation is not displayed on the multi-information display and system display.	This is not a malfunction as display of these items is not possible with this function.
When using Android Auto, hands-free call audio can- not be heard from the vehicle’s speakers.	Disconnect the phone from the USB cable and check if hands-free call audio can be heard using the hands-free system.
	Connect the phone to the system using Android Auto, turn up the volume on the system and check if hands-free call audio can be heard. Check if other sounds can be heard from the vehicle’s speakers.
