Does the Boyue Vehicle Require Host Replacement When There's No Network?
4 Answers
No host replacement is needed when the Boyue infotainment system has no network. Solutions for Boyue infotainment system network issues: Recovery method: Restart the built-in SIM card by holding the SOS button for 10 seconds. For power reset method: Open the front hood, remove the battery cover, locate the negative terminal on the right side of the battery, loosen the fixing screw with a small wrench or pliers (avoid contact with metal parts and terminals), leave disconnected for about 15 minutes, then reconnect the battery. Ensure the screw is properly tightened to prevent unnecessary wear or malfunctions. Window anti-pinch function setup procedure: Simultaneously pull both window buttons to raise the window completely, maintain pressure for about 5 seconds without releasing, then hold the buttons to lower the window completely for another 5 seconds. When the window automatically rises and encounters slight resistance (like a bottle), it should automatically retract. If 3G network is still unavailable after these steps, the TBOX system may need reflashing.
As a Boyue owner, I often encounter sudden network disconnections, especially when driving in remote areas. Actually, there's no need to immediately replace the head unit—that's just a waste of money. The first step should be to check if the onboard SIM card is properly inserted or has insufficient balance; loose SIM cards are common on bumpy roads, and reinserting it might solve the issue. Next, try restarting the infotainment system by holding the power button for ten seconds; software bugs can sometimes be fixed with a simple reboot. Signal issues should also be considered; move the vehicle to an open area or use a mobile hotspot to test if the network connection is restored. If none of these work, then visit a 4S shop to run diagnostics; it could be an incomplete software update or an external antenna malfunction. In short, the probability of head unit damage is low, and troubleshooting step by step can save a lot on repair costs. Regular maintenance of the vehicle's internet system can prevent such hassles.
I am passionate about researching automotive electronic systems and have delved deeply into network issues after driving the Boyue. The head unit itself rarely malfunctions; network interruptions are often a combination of software and hardware issues. First, check the settings menu to confirm if the network was accidentally turned off; menu options are often deeply hidden. Then, check the battery voltage; low power may cause the signal module to become unstable. External SIM card or service provider interruptions could also be the root cause; test signal strength by changing locations. Replacing the head unit is only necessary when hardware faults are detected; first, use an OBD tool to read error codes and identify the source of the problem. Software updates and factory resets often restore connectivity. Avoid blindly replacing parts—diagnosing from multiple angles is smarter and more reliable.
My car is a Boyue, and last time the network failure almost got me lost. I thought the head unit was dead, but the mechanic taught me to check the SIM card first: dust in the card slot caused poor contact, and the network was restored after cleaning. If the card is fine, try restarting the system or moving to an area with stronger signals. Some connected car accounts require periodic activation; I logged into the owner's APP and re-bound it, which solved the problem. In short, replacing the head unit is the last resort; don’t go for big expenses when small fixes can do the trick.
