Settings

Device-level settings for the WDD-LITE itself. Changes are saved automatically.

Setting	Type	Options / Range	Description
Brightness	Slider	10-100%	Display brightness level. Applies immediately as you adjust it.
Volume Units	Toggle	dB / %	How volume is shown on the Volume console and the top-bar glance
Temp Units	Toggle	°F / °C	Temperature display units. Only visible when connected to a base station with a temperature probe.
Min/Max	Toggle	All-Time / Window	Controls the min/max readout under the Volts view. All-Time shows the lowest and highest values since power-on; Window shows the lowest and highest values currently visible in the trend graph.
Auto Swap	Toggle	On / Off	Automatically cycles the main display through the available mode tabs
Swap Time	Slider	2-60s	How long each mode is shown before switching (appears only when Auto Swap is on)
Colors	Navigation	(sub-menu)	Opens the Colors menu: pick a built-in theme, edit the gradient, or override individual element colors
WiFi	Navigation	(sub-menu)	Manage the WiFi networks used for firmware updates. See Firmware Updates

Colors

Customize the colors used across the display, audio visualizers, and status icons. Your choices are saved automatically and survive reboots and firmware updates.

Item	Description
Theme Gradient	Edit the two-color gradient that drives the volume groups, channel views, voltage, and temperature probes. The currently active theme's name is shown here.
Presets	A list of 16 ready-made themes. LF Audio is the default. Tap one to apply it instantly. The active theme has a bright border around its swatch.
Advanced Colors	Override individual element colors one at a time. The list only shows rows that apply to your setup.
Reset All Colors	Restores the default LF Audio palette and clears every individual override, after a confirmation step

Available Presets

All 16 presets ship on every WDD-LITE:

LF Audio (default), Sunset, Ocean, Inferno, Mono Pink, Forest, Neon, Plasma, Lava, Ice, Apex, Bass, Crimson, Royal, Mint, and Vapor.

Using the Color Picker

When you choose a color, a picker appears with a color wheel and a brightness slider:

• Touch the wheel to set the color. The angle sets the hue, and the distance from the center sets how vivid it is.
• Drag the slider to adjust brightness.
• Tap OK to save, or Cancel (or swipe right) to discard.

Base Info

Read-only information about the connected base station. Values update automatically while this screen is open.

Field	Description
Model	Base station model (e.g., WVC-PRO, WVC-PRO 6, WVC-LITE)
Hardware	Base station hardware version
Daughtercard HW	Daughtercard hardware version (WVC-PRO 6 only)
CPU1 FW	Main processor firmware version
CPU2 FW	Secondary processor firmware version
CPU3 FW	Daughtercard firmware version (WVC-PRO 6 only)
Built	Base station manufacture date
Uptime	Time since the base station was last powered on
Name	Bluetooth device name of the base station
UUID	Unique device identifier
BT Pin	Bluetooth pairing PIN

Base Settings

Configuration options for the connected base station. Changes are sent to the base station immediately. Some settings have child options that appear or hide based on the parent value.

IDS Mode (Intelligent Drive System)

Controls how the system responds to abnormal voltage or temperature. For full details on what each mode does, see the Intelligent Drive System (IDS) article.

WVC-PRO / WVC-PRO 6 options:

Option	Behavior
Off	IDS disabled
Mute	Sets volume to 0 when triggered. Volume stays at 0 after the condition clears, so turn it back up manually.
Rem Off	Drops the Remote Out signal when triggered, turning off any amplifier wired through it. Remote Out restores automatically about 1 second after the condition clears.
Mute+Rem	Both sets volume to 0 and drops Remote Out. Remote Out auto-restores; volume must be turned back up manually.
Limit Vol	Gradually reduces volume while triggered. Volume stays at the reduced level after the condition clears, so turn it back up manually.

WVC-LITE options: Off, Mute, Limit Vol. The WDD-LITE automatically offers only the modes your base station supports.

When IDS Mode is set to anything other than Off, these child settings appear:

• Min Voltage (slider, 6.0-18.0V, step 0.1V): the voltage threshold below which IDS triggers. Most 12 V car audio systems run between 12.0V-14.4V; a typical safe threshold is 11.0V-11.5V.
• Max Temp (WVC-PRO / WVC-PRO 6 only): the temperature threshold above which IDS triggers. The slider range matches your selected Temp Units: 80-240 °F or 27-116 °C. A typical safe threshold for car amplifiers is around 150-160 °F (65-70 °C). This appears only when a temperature probe is connected.

Competition Mode

Controls audio behavior during competition (for example, SPL contests).

Option	Behavior
Off	Normal operation
Mute	Mutes all audio output
Limit Vol	Limits the maximum volume level

Remember Vol

When enabled, the base station saves the current volume level and restores it after a power cycle. When this is on:

• Max Startup Vol (slider, 0-100%, step 1%): caps the volume at startup so the system never powers on at full volume. Available on base station firmware 3.5.0 or newer.

RCA Gain

Toggles RCA output gain on or off. The first time you enable it, the WDD-LITE shows a full-screen overvoltage warning that you must accept before gain is applied. On older base stations a Gain Level slider also appears, letting you boost the signal from 0 dB to +31.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps, with a live output-voltage preview.

Important: Gain can drive the RCA outputs to voltages that exceed the rated input of most car amplifiers and can permanently damage equipment if set incorrectly. For the full safety warning, the gain calculator, the safe enable procedure (measuring with a multimeter, power-down ordering, and so on), and the liability disclaimer, see RCA Gain. Do not enable this feature without reading that article.

Volume Curve

Selects the curve that maps the volume knob position to output level. A live graph and a short description of the selected curve are shown.

Curve	Behavior
Natural	Logarithmic response. Most volume change at the low end, feels natural to the ear
Linear	Even response: equal volume change per step across the full range
Audio Taper	Steep response. Most of the range is concentrated in the upper portion of the knob
S-Curve	Smooth at both ends, moderate change in the middle
Competition	Very steep: minimal volume until near the top, then a rapid increase

Voltage Drift

A calibration offset applied to the voltage reading (range -5.0V to +5.0V, step 0.05V). Use this if the displayed voltage does not match a known-accurate voltmeter.

Live Voltage

At the bottom of Base Settings, a live Voltage row shows the current vehicle voltage as the base station reads it, updating about every half second. This lets you verify a Voltage Drift adjustment without leaving the screen.

Advanced

The Advanced screen holds firmware updates and the reset actions. Each destructive action requires an inline confirmation.

FW Update

Starts an over-the-air firmware update for the WDD-LITE itself. It only installs a version newer than the one already on the device. See Firmware Updates for the full workflow.

Force FW Update

Reinstalls the latest published firmware even when the WDD-LITE is already up to date (a normal FW Update stops and reports "up to date" in that case). It uses the same WiFi and download steps as FW Update and reinstalls the current version, not a different one. Use it to re-apply the latest firmware, for example if LF Audio support asks you to. See Firmware Updates.

Update Base

Sends an update request to the connected base station, which then downloads and installs its own update. Only available when connected. See Firmware Updates.

Forget Base

Clears the stored pairing and restarts the WDD-LITE, bringing back the getting-started wizard so you can pair a different base station. Your display preferences and color theme are kept. You must choose Confirm Forget to proceed.

Factory Reset

Clears all stored settings, display preferences, color theme, and pairing, then restarts the WDD-LITE into the getting-started wizard. You must choose Confirm Reset to proceed.
