Head Controls Not Working

Understanding the Types of Controls

Physical Buttons: Are the physical buttons not responding, or feel stuck/jammed?

Touchscreen: Is the touchscreen not registering your touches, or only partially working?

Steering Wheel Controls: If your car has steering wheel controls, have you mapped them correctly to the Pyle head unit?

Troubleshooting Steps

Basic Checks:

Power: Make sure the head unit has power and is turned on.

Connections: Verify that all wiring harnesses are securely connected to the back of the head unit.

Fuses: Check if any fuses related to the head unit are blown.

Software Reset:

Try a soft reset by turning the head unit off and then back on.

If possible, locate a "reset" button (sometimes a small hole) and press it with a paperclip.

Consult your Pyle PLT85BTCM manual for specific reset instructions.

Firmware Update:

Check the Pyle website for any available firmware updates for your PLT85BTCM model.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully on how to update the firmware.

Physical Button Issues:

Cleaning: Gently clean around the buttons with a slightly damp cotton swab, then dry. Dust or debris might be interfering.

Stuck Buttons: If a button seems stuck, try very gently working it loose. Do not force it.

Touchscreen Issues:

Cleaning: Clean the screen with a microfiber cloth specifically designed for electronics.

Calibration: Refer to your manual to see if the head unit has a touchscreen calibration option.

Steering Wheel Control Issues:

Compatibility: Ensure your car's steering wheel controls are compatible with the Pyle head unit.

Mapping: Review the head unit's manual for how to correctly map the steering wheel controls to the unit's functions.

Still Not Working?

Manual: Carefully read the Pyle PLT85BTCM manual for more specific troubleshooting tips.

Support: Contact Pyle's customer support for assistance.

Important Notes:

Do not disassemble the head unit unless you are experienced with electronics.

Always consult your manual for specific instructions as steps can vary between models.
