Eonon radio problem

The problem started happening when I removed my seats to clean the interior. The music just stops playing for some time and then it comes back and this process keeps repeating. I don't know if it has a connection but my radio sometimes cuts out to show me this (see picture) but I've been getting this even before I removed my seats.

Check your shifter selector adjustment. It looks like it is triggering a reverse event and you do not have a camera wired in. Is this an automatic gearbox?

I'd also put a meter on that trigger wire and see if it's seeing voltage when not in reverse I guess. If the problem is intermittent then maybe have a test light attached to it and jiggle stuff around and see if you can make it light to narrow down the problem. Once you've ruled out the head unit that is. I don't have the greatest confidence in how well the Eonon is put together.

There are two ways to mute sound and turn on backup display - the data bus interpreter and the backup light power wire. You need only one of those connected. My guess is that you have both connected and they are sending conflicting signals to the head unit. In my case, I found the data bus to be unreliable so I connected the power wire from the backup light circuit.
