Pandora is listed in the supported apps!

Very comprehensive video , unfortunately commentary done so fast almost impossible to keep track. Perhaps limited by time but would suggest if possible to slow down

And here I thought I was speaking slower than usual haha. Try changing the playback speed to 0.75x but I'll see if I can slow er down a bit more in the next videos I shoot

CarPlay is literally lightyears ahead of Android Auto.

It really is on this! Apparently Google is updating it and opening up the KZread app on Android Auto at some point this year so Android users may be able to watch videos on the screen

Can you play a movie through that screen or hook up to Netflix….. not while driving lol

I wish! Android Auto is supposed to be getting support for video in the next year or so.. but nothing confirmed from Apple. I can't see Kia introducing that as a built in feature so it would be up to either Google or Apple to implement it

Good info but, can you talk a little slower for those of us who can not follow quick speech?

Change the playback speed to 0.75x and rewind/pause as needed - this is surprisingly slow compared to how fast I normally go

peoblem is, most of the soddin option reset when switched off like lane assist etc, its shite....option should stay until changed.

I know right? The smaller 8" screen in the LX trim has wireless but this larger one doesn't. Bizarre

Here in the U.K. I was informed by the dealer that this is due to a licensing disagreement on how these car services should be displayed, on the larger screens. The units apparently have the capability so could be updated via a software update in the future……I have no idea if this is true, but that is what I was told.

Jealous! Why doesn't my car have the camera view like that 😢 😭

All depends on the build you have for your Sportage! This 360 camera isn't available across the whole lineup How are you liking yours otherwise?

That's an odd one.. If it's not because the car is in direct sunlight or you have the heat you can try a manual reset using a paper clip by the volume rocker. Have your dealer look into it if the problem keeps happening

Thanks for the demo really great. Dont pronoune etcetera "eksetera", its sounds so out of tune
