Has anyone figured out a real solution to the unit not powering on sometimes besides removing the key and trying over and over?

Someone should make a troubleshooting chart or a FAQ section to give people something to reference so that it's easy to find answers reading 50 pts sucks lol

TPMS ( Tire pressure monitoring system ) issue after my first trip with my new head unit !
I read on other posts that it may be due to RF interference from aftermarket head units.

Anyone here experienced or has a similar problem ?

I haven't had any problems with systems in my car because of the aftermarket head unit.

Try disconnecting your battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it.

The only time it will go away is when I turn the head unit off.

Anyone experienced this ?
Just have one installed and had the same problem. Did you figure it out?
The noise is a pain.
I also have problems with WiFi connection. Seems to work with the browser, but not with other apps.

Some help please...

I went to see another installer and suggested I change the OEM Boston Amp to another one.

If the other apps not working are Google Play Store or anything related to your Google account, you will need to do the following:

Go to Settings / Apps / All Apps

Find Google Services Framework, tap on it. Tap on Stop. Tap Clear Data.

Do the Same thing on Google Play.

Then press the Reset.

Haven't installed one of these yet but it sounds like the RCA connection issue might be bad connection with the plugs or maybe poor quality plug. I don't think I'd go the cheapest brand on these. If there's more then one plug to be installed have you tried swapping the plug connections? Maybe got the + and - wires swapped? Double check the connections. I'd deffinately be doing this stuff before spending $ on a new amp. Also do you guys have ba system? The RCA plugs only for ba system.

Internet connection solved. I change the country and language, all worked fine.

About the distortion, the plugs are good quality for sure and it was double checked about the polarity. I will try a rca filter after the brazilian carnaval.

Do anyone have the ISO connector wiring diagram?
Someone have tried to install on a 2013+ car with OEM Mylink system?

I've done enough electronics problem solving in the past that I've learned its better to double triple check things when problems occur before throwing even more money at something. Had friend buy a lot of different stuff thier friends told them they needed to fix an issue when in reality they got a wire wrong or bad connection etc. I've also seen where the extra stuff complicates things even more and brings more issues. Not saying this is deffinately the reason behind this issue just trying to encourage the ones who have this issue to do a little checking before they spend $ on it and save that $ for better mods

Can I ask has anyone with the issue tried reinstalling original radio to see if they still having the noise? If tried original radio and noise went away I would think the root cause would be the android system or wiring pertaining to it. If noise persisted then perhapse instalation of android system caused something like speakers or ba amp to go bad.

Yes, I tried reconnecting the original radio and the noise went away.

The installer explains it's because we are using the Low signal output with the RCAs, that's why it's picking up noise with the new Android unit.

Will double check the connections again.
I'm almost 100% sure it's the Android unit because that noise starts as soon as we plug any of the 4 speakers, doesn't matter if front or rear...
