FAQ & Troubleshooting

LED Diagnostics

LED Blinks RED Indefinitely

  • KNA-SPM100 did not receive a response from the vehicle.
    • This means that the KNA-SPM100 is not compatible with that vehicle.
  • CAN wires are disconnected.
    • Verify CAN wire connections.

LED Blinks RED/GREEN During that Ignition Cycle

  • KNA-SPM100 has detected another OBD-II device, MRR, or another radio replacement interface module communicating on the bus
    • The KNA-SPM100 cannot be used in conjunction with another OBD-II device or MRR (please refer to the MRR or radio replacement interface instructions for vehicle speed pulse connection).
FAQ

How can I verify if a vehicle is compatible? 

  • Verify that the vehicle’s year of production is 2008+ and has an OBD-II plug.
  • The KNA-SPM100 will not work If the vehicle doesn’t allow a scan tool to be plugged into it while the vehicle is turned on and/or while driving. Vehicle’s that may exhibit this symptom typically include high-end European models.
  • Ultimately, the only other way to verify if the KNA-SPM100 is compatible is to connect it to a vehicle and verify the LED sequence.
Receiver Messages

If you are still receiving a message like this when attempting to use Wireless Apple CarPlay while the vehicle is in motion:

  • The receiver is not receiving a proper and/or any vehicle speed information.
  • The GPS antenna is not connected or an incorrect GPS antenna is being used.
