Hi, great video! I'm thinking about ordering a 2019 KIA Ceed. Looks like it has almost the same system. Would it be possible to connect a USB hub, so I can connect a flash drive with lots of mp3 music AND my Android phone to use Android Auto? Or would the navigation-SD card allow me to copy mp3 files on it to play with the mediaplayer? I use two different phones, one for my work and a private phone that I use at night and the weekends. It would be a struggle to maintain two mp3 databases on both phones. I dont stream with spotify etc. I know, difficult questions, sorry for that!

You could stream music from your phone, but once the usb port is in use for Android Auto, it will not be able to be used for a USB system with music. I don't know if that perfectly answers your question, but I think, the short answer is no, you can't.

The 2019 Forte like many (if not all) of it's competitors does not have a CD or DVD player. Secondly, the Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay systems are designed to decrease distractions, so they are not set up to play videos on the car screen.

Hello, I want to view my map using Android Auto and at the same time I want to hear the CAR radio (not from the phone). How do I make that happened? I can make it work by starting the radio first than plugging in the phone and go to the map. The problem is when the map gives directions, I often loose my radio music and it does not come back. So I have to press the radio button than the home button than the icon for Android phone. As this happens regularly, it could be dangerous as to not be attentive to the road. Please help.

@BrantfordKia

5 жыл бұрын

That seems odd... The map directions should turn your radio down, and then the radio should come back to full volume after the Navigation is done speaking. You may have to connect with your local dealer. I don't think I'll be able to diagnose this over the KZread comments.

First you need to make sure you have those apps on your phone. On occasion I've run into people that do not have Spotify on their phones, and then expect it to be on Android Auto. The Android Auto system can only move an App to your dash if it's already on your phone. After that, there may be a setting that allows you to use that app in Android Auto, so you may need to try that.
