    IMPORTANT: If you need model-specific information to complete these steps, refer to your device's manual. Manuals are posted on your model support page.

    1. If the car stereo has a detachable faceplate, clean the metal contacts with a cotton swab lightly dipped, not saturated, with rubbing alcohol.

      WARNING! There's a risk of personal injury. For safety, before cleaning the connectors, turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.

    2. If the vehicle has an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), turn it off and on again.
