Why upgrade the radio in your Kia

Talk to an expert on WhatsAppThe Kia came from the factory with a radio/multimedia system that, on most trims, does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and has slow navigation that is expensive to update. The specific screen replaces it with a large, fast Android system with always up-to-date maps.
Because it is a screen specific to the Kia, it fits the original slot with its custom frame and keeps the factory dashboard look and the steering wheel controls.
Step-by-step installation
It is a Plug & Play install you can do at home, without cutting wires:
- Carefully remove the trim and the original radio from your Kia (they come off with clips and screws).
- Connect the screen's specific harness to the car's factory socket, which already carries the power and the steering-wheel control signal.
- Fit the new screen into the slot with its custom frame.
- On start-up, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the GPS and the steering wheel controls are all ready to use.
If your Kia has anything special (amplifier, digital climate control or a camera), let us know on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the exact kit for your car.
Do I keep the steering wheel controls and the camera?
Yes. The screen integrates with your Kia's original system and keeps the steering wheel controls and the factory camera if you have one.
Is the installation really Plug & Play?
Yes, it uses the specific connector for your Kia, with no cutting or splicing. If in doubt, we guide you on WhatsApp during the install.
