Applies to MT-1720C

Last Update 21 days ago

Issue (either of the following):

  • Head unit screen flashing on and off

  • Reverse camera behaving strangely

  • Intermittent signal when shifting into reverse

How to get it fixed: 

1. Locate the CANBUS Plugs
Behind the head unit, you’ll find two small SM plugs coming from the CANBUS decoder — they’ll usually be disconnected by default.

2. Identify the SM Plugs on the Main Connectors
Check the main 20-pin connector and the large white plug that connects to the vehicle’s factory wiring. Each of these will have its own SM plug.

3. Connect the SM Plugs Properly
Take the SM plugs from the 20-pin connector and the white plug, and plug them into the two SM plugs coming from the CANBUS decoder.

4. Test Your System Turn on the car and test the reverse camera and screen.

Note: If you’ve received the cable kit and the SM plugs are already connected to the CANBUS but you’re still having issues with the reverse camera, try the opposite approach: bypass the CANBUS by directly connecting the SM plug from the main 20-pin connector to the SM plug from the white plug.
