Did you also have to order a dash kit or just the radio because I have a 2015 Kia optima name want to upgrade the radio as well

The wiring is different on the 2015 im going through it right now

video convinced me to order this, im hyped! i see it comes with a back up camera though did you not install it?

The car already had backup camera on the mirror so didn’t need to install a 2nd camera.

Thanks for the video. I want to buy for a 2014 Optima LX but it's look like Optima has many types of wiring harness. What was your type?

It all depends on if your car has factory amp, backup camera, etc. this one was base model so just basic wire harness.

Hey I got mine installed same year and model and radio car play and everything works . But I have no sound !? Did you have this issue because you didn’t play any music or anything to verify . And if you did get sound how did you do it

@Djrulez203

Sound worked great no issue at all. I didn’t play any sound on the video due to copyright purposes because KZread would block my video if I played and music sadly. And mine worked without doing anything. Basically was plug and play.

Thank you for this. My radio system deff needs an upgrade, and this was detailed enough for me to do it myself. Question, what is the USB cable needed for? The one that you ran thru the glovebox

@Djrulez203

Жыл бұрын

So the usb cable is for charging your phone or if you’re having bad experience with wireless CarPlay, you can plug in your phone and use wired CarPlay. Sometime wireless CarPlay can be very glitchy. Also if your passenger needs to charge their phone they can use that as well or if you don’t want your passengers to connect to your radio via Bluetooth you can just let them use the usb to stream their music through.

Has anyone tried to add the backup camera? I have somewhat figured out whats going on with the harness I hope, but I am not sure what I wire the camera into. No instructions with the unit

Checking the seller website reviews some pictures show this unit not being flush with the dash trim but sticking out over and inch. Why is there this difference??

I took my Kia to upgrade to this radio model and the steering wheel function stops working after a minute or so do you have any idea why?

@Djrulez203

It could be many reasons. 1. Probably hasn’t been setup yet through the settings. 2. The radio doesn’t support to retain steering wheel functions and would need additional harness to retain it.

Hey thanks for sharing this video with us. I have some questions: - How long it took you to do all of this? - After you finished everything while driving you here squeky noises from the dashboard and from stuff you took off? - I am having the Gen 1 Navi, is it worth to upgrade to this android navi, you feel like it is cheap navi or it suits better for 2023 standards? - If I have backup camera would it work for this android navi?

@Djrulez203

Жыл бұрын

1. Didn’t take too long as I install radios all the time. It was pretty much plug and play. 2. No squeaky noises 3. It’s definitely worth upgrading. I love the android radios as you can literally do anything. It’s basically a tablet so you can download Netflix and watch movie as long as you have internet connection. 4. Yes you can retain backup cameras but you have to get a 12v to 6v step down in order to make it work. Search “retain factory backup camera” on KZread and you’ll see tons of videos on it.
