Hi guys
I just bought a 2014 KIA shortage and when I was trying to insert the SD card to it's slot,it dropped inside !
It seems like the slot is a litther righter and the both micro SD and GPS slot andboth my 16 & 32 gbs now are in the slot under the LCD
I think if I could open up the entertainment system and shake it ,maybe be the SD card fell out of it
Any ideas?!
Thank you so much

Perhaps a picture would help. I didn't know these cars had SD card slots.

On a side note, how did you get two MicroSD cards in there? Didn't you notice how big the slot is in comparison to the size of the MicroSD card?

It looks like the slot is standard SD card, so without the adapter I can see this happening. Maybe try some double sided tape around something flat and long, you might be able to fish it out.

The MicroSD card is the size of a small pinky nail. The standard SD card is the size of a big toe nail. It would be like trying to play a CD on a record player. How can people actually think putting one into the other is a smart thing to do? Keep in mind this is coming from a guy who got beat up by a turn signal bulb.

found it

This is the problem.
The nag system has a MICRO SD slot.
I put the micro sr card, but the entrance of the slot is ¨not centered in the hole of the nav system.
So i inserted the card below the real slot, and the card went to the interior of the nav.

I moved a little the slot with a needle and inserted ( another card of course = ) and worked fine.

Just like me but I wanna take my cards out of it then I'll fix it with needle

Hi
I can't believe you guys came to my topic to help me
Thank you
I was out of the town and I had no access to internet so sorry
This the DVD and entertainment system of my 2014 KIA sportage which due to the dealer's guarantee its the original DVD.but I don't think so
Be cause its menu graphic and buttons are different from what I have seen in usnews or caranddrive etc.

Just like a user told in the later post,the slot is not centered right in the middle of the slot hole
And as you can see,I was trying to insert a Micro SD card in a Micro SD slot.
I think the entertainment system is not the original one.it can't even play media sounds from my android phone over Bluetooth connection. Just phone sound
Both of my micro SD cards are not dropped IN THE entertainment system somewhere which could be taken out just by opening the system
Any ideas?!

Sorry, your photos are so dark, I can't see the slot you are talking about and no, that does not look like original KIA OEM equipment.

Edit: Just looked again, and if you're talking about the 2 vertical slots on either side of the display screen, those look to be for full-sized SD cards. Yes, a micro SD card is much smaller and would probably fall right in. I have no idea how you would get them back out again.

It looks like the slot actually says "microSD" though.

OP - take it to the dealer
