New Kia Dash and Audio system. WIP

[Rosscofat]

This will be a Work in Progress (WIP) as I will update this with information as I start the install.

I bought a Dash online from
T2008G Kia K3 Rio 2012 Car DVD with GPS,Bluetooth,ipod,PIP,Games,Dual Zone,Steering Wheel Control - Tradesolution HK Ltd.

It arrived.. 3 days to Canada.. awesome. so now the task of installing it.. lots of wires very little documentation of what is what.. so no high hopes this works the first time around.. Here are a few pics


There is NO passanger airbag light in this dash so I will have to see what to do with this.. Also the Rear camera will be the biggest pain along with trying to setup a Amp and Sub to work with this system.


Build quality is OK

wow that was sent very fast....I will be following your progress here as I am looking at getting this one as well

[Rosscofat]

What is the easist way to remove the dash? Seems to be in there really tight?

[ApXWingman]

From what I read, you just need to pry it off starting from the top, where the vents are located and just pull off from there.

[Rosscofat]

Sounds like a plan..

That looks like it has no RCA Pre outs for your amps that you expect to put on lol.
I saw that unit on a website too. Is there a brand on the deck at all or is it just made by the people that made the mold ?

[Rosscofat]

Wiring harnesses I'll prob need help identifiing what is what... hhaha

[ApXWingman]

that's a lot of cables lol....I would be interested on the brand name as well

[Rosscofat]

hah so would I..

here is a few more.. I asked for the Can Bus Harness as well just in case. I did notice there is a Line out for Front right front left same with rear left and right.. which is good so I can wire up my amp.
