Hi, I'm new to this forum. I recently got a 2016 Forte EX and noticed that didn't have carplay unlike my friend's 2017. I came across a few posts saying that back in 2016, Kia offered a free upgrade for the 2016 model year Forte. I tried checking the site but no luck, I can't even register my...

Finally took my 2015 Kia Sorento to the dealer today because the radio and back-up camera screen haven't been working for a while. I was told the Radio Head Unit needs to be replaced and will cost $1,400+. I asked what all it controlled, because at that cost, I might prefer to live without the...

Hello fellow forumers, my uncle has a 2006 Sportage in wonderful condition, and we are trying to “update” his radio... I’ve done this kind of thing a few times, so generally I save the money and just cut the wires, wiring it to the new harness. I can’t find an accurate guide for this puppy! Why...

Has anyone had experience with replacing the Sportage's amplifier to get better sound? If you did replace it did you also replace the speakers? I'd rather not add a large subwoofer since I need my storage space in back (with the seats down for hauling). I have an 2018 LX with the premium package...

Hello all. I would like to upgrade my stereo in my proceed 2008 to an atoto SA102. but i can not find any real information about the wiring i need to do the upgrade. i would also want it to work with the steering wheel controls. i found this video: but that is a newer model than my car, and i...

Hello, Has anyone else had their radio slowly go out in their Optima? Mine has been out for probably 1 1/2 years now. When it started going out it would turn on when I started the car but it might turn off and turn back on by the time I got to my destination. Then, it would be on when I started...

I saw on eBay that they have the UVO radio for relatively cheap (non-nav as I have no need for it). I saw that the connectors were the same for the non-UVO base radio, but I was t sure if they would be compatible. If anyone has any insight if they do, let me know because I think the UVO radio...

Hi all I’m considering swapping the nav unit in my Sportage GT 2016 to the 2019 model. 2019 what do you think about this idea? I think the vents and frame should fit ideally. This is genuine Kia nav just never model. I wonder if anyone thought about this before? Thanks

Hi I have 2011 Ceed estate (station wagon). Some time over the last few months the radio has started playing at a relatively loud volume. So whenever I start the car, switch from Bluetooth to radio, the radio auto tunes to another station. I turn it down but whenever one of the above happens...

My radio display is almost useless. It is so dim that I can barely see the radio and the camera is too dim to see anything behind me. The radio works great! But not being able to see the display well is a huge problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas? Yes, I have reset the radio...

Hey all, Is it possible to swap out the default '18 Rio antenna with a sleek shark fin one, like this or this? What part would you recommend for the '18 Rio sedan? What size of the base does ours take? -gg

first post here 2012 kia soul (red) 52,000 miles (yes that's correct) :) excellent condition exterior, ok interior the car starts and runs flawlessly, but: 1) if i plug in the yellow double fuse, with the "MODULE 15a" side fuse in place, the battery will drain to the point of not starting, in...

I have a 2017 Kia Sportage. My radio has gone willy. Sometimes, there is a blank, black screen but I cant still hear the radio and change stations using the controls (not the touchscreen). Other times, the display flickers in and out, but the radio still works. Last night, the radio didn't...

Probably a super simple question but... Can someone tell me what exact part I need to connect a Pioneer AVH-280BT radio to an 02 rio? Note, I have just the radio and not the radio wiring harness. Current radio in the rio is factory. Thanks!

I have a 2012 Soul, it has 130 000 kms on the clock. When I switch off the ignition and take out the key, the radio stays on and the beeping sound to remind you that the key is in the ignition keeps going. The key remote buttons do not work when this happens. The central locking also does not...

So I brought my 2017 Optima GT LineS 2 years ago and all good. Now all of a sudden the DAB radio has stopped working. I can't get a signal anywhere, sometimes is does drop in but only very briefly. The AM radio works just fine and everything else is working just fine. I know it must be a radio...

I have a 2012 LX model. The whole console including the radio shuts off intermittently after some amount driving, though it is always okay on a cold start. The battery and radio fuses have been checked and seem okay. It does indeed shut off more frequently with slopes or bumps, leading me to...

Hi, I'm a proud new Rondo owner. I'm trying to install a pioneer head unit in my 2009 Kia Rondo. I've already got the slot adapter so I can install a standard double DIN radio, but my issue now is that I can't seem to find an accurate wiring diagram for 2009 Kia Rondo factory radio harness...

Often the radio will completely turn off and display no time. Then it will come back on reset to 12:00. If you shut the car off when this happens, the windshield wipers turn. If you pull the wiper fuse, the wipers will stop, but the other issue is that the power locks won't work. At present...

This single little 8” sub in a compact box makes a world of difference to my stock infinity system. I CANNOT believe how rich the sound is now, and this little thing booms so I keep the bass knob turned down to 50% or less. this was installed at Unique Audio in Lorton, VA who hid the amp and...
