Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How do I wire the BLUECUBE6+ Hide-Away Stereo?
The BLUECUBE6+ Hide-Away Stereo and the BLUECUBE6 MINI Hide-Away Stereo both come with a separate harness with wires already stripped off and ready to be wired. Using that harness, you can track your power/ground/speaker wires and so on by looking at the provided wiring diagrams.
Q2. How do I pair my remote to the BLUECUBE6+ Hide-Away Stereo?
To pair your remote, plug in the gray box receiver to the receiver cable that is attached to the unit. Then, on the remote, press and hold the mode/pair button until you see the word "paired".
Q3. My BLUECUBE6+ Hide-Away Stereo LED light is not turning on. What could be the problem?
The LED light on the BLUECUBE6+ Hide-Away Stereo tells you if the unit is powered ON/OFF. If your LED light is not on, but the unit is working fine, then the LED light is likely dead. If the LED light is not on, and the unit is not functioning at all, try to unplug the harness and any power source going to the unit. Let the unit sit for 15-30 minutes and then reconnect it to see if your problem is solved.
If the stereo is still not working after the above steps, please contact our Support team at [email protected] for further assistance.
Q4. What is the difference between the BLUECUBE6 MINI Hide-Away Stereo and BLUECUBE6+ Hide-Away Stereo?
The main difference between these stereos is that the (+) model lets you stream music through a USB port, provides access to AM/FM radio, and comes with a remote control.
Q5. I lost my wireless remote control. Can I just buy any other remote control?
The remote control that works with your model is AQ-RF-6UBT-T. Each model works with its own remote control and is specific to that model type. For example, Unit 6 works with Remote Control 6. Unit 6 will not work with Remote Control 4, 5, 7 etc.
Q6 Is this stereo compatible with my old unit?
The stereo has the same 12-pin harness as your old model. If the model you have is 1, 2, 3, or 4 generation, the cables' color is the same, but the position of the pins on the harness is different. For example, the ground wire (black wire) used to be on pin 10, but is now on pin 12.
Q5 What is the diagram of the 12-pin plug-in?
Q6. The Bluetooth does not work any more. I was able to connect before, but not now. What should I do?
To reset the stereo:
Power off the stereo or unplug the electricity going to the unit.
Wait for 15 seconds.
"Forget" the device in your phone's Bluetooth connections menu.
Turn on or plug in your stereo.
Add the stereo back to your phone's Bluetooth connections menu and pair with the stereo.
Q7. Does it have an internal amplifier?
Yes, it does. The internal amplifier's total power is 288 Watt [Power (max): 4x 45W (4 Ohms), 4x 72W (2 Ohms)]. The internal amplifier is powered on by default; do not power off the amplifier, as this could lead to a lack of or poor sound. If you add an external amplifier in the future, make sure to keep the internal amplifier powered on.
Q8. I lost my remote control. What is the model of the remote control I need to buy as a replacement?
The model is AQ-RF-6UBT-T. This remote and others are available for purchase online from the Aquatic AV website.
