    I just figured you guys on this forum would think this is interesting. How can I change the odometer, turn off the beeping, and the seat belt warning but I can't get into my engineering or dealership mode 😂 VID_20210615.mp4

    My 2016 SXL. I'm now on my second phone. A Pixel 3XL, prior phone was a Motorola Z Force. What I've noticed with both phones is when I plug the cable into the phone, Android Auto icon will show on the home screen. I tap the icon and then get nothing, the icon disappears. I then unplug and replug...

    Anyone have any info experience on this model head unit...

    I'm considering purchasing a 2015 Optima SX that has what appears to be the base radio. I'd really like to have Android Auto in the car. I understand there was an update for the 2015 Optima that adds Android Auto. But I don't think that is for this base radio, right? It's for the nav-radio unit...

    My stock radio on my 2017LX has a backup camera but no navigation. My other car is a 2014 Ford Flex Limited and has navigation but I never use it as I prefer the real-time traffic of Waze. I would like to upgrade my radio to android auto so I can use Waze in my Optima. Do you have a...

    I've always carried my music with me, since I prefer not to use music streaming. I've kept it on a PocketPC until recently, when that device died, and I transferred it all to my old phone, a Galaxy S5 running a stripped down OS. Currently, I am using the S5 as a media center, with an augmented...

    I have a 2018 Optima, and a Samsung Galaxy S9. Android Auto is working great, except that I am not getting notifications of new text messages. I am getting notified of Facebook Messenger messages. I'm using the default Samsung Messaging app if that matters. Any advice?

    Outside of the Telsa style android nav unit debacle, is there any options for me to replace my factory nav unit for my 2011 SX that would give me android auto capability or self contained android for maps, waze, Spotify, etc. I have not really seen anything that would fit. would love to find...

    So... I got a new Android Auto installed last week. As much as I wanted to try out the Telsa Style tablet, I ended up getting this one from KiriNavi The first Android player installed recently went out on me. This new one does not have an optical drive (CD/DVD). However the screen is bigger, at...

    I have used search function and have not really found an answer. In looking at all of the different post I have found conflicting info about Android Auto and UVO being Bluetooth enabled. I have a 2017 Optima SX-L every time I try to use either Android Auto or UVO it tells me to connect to USB...

    Saw this on a facebook post. Looks cool, just wondering if this is only compatible with the EX trim with auto AC?? I have an LX with the manual AC, and I currently have a android aftermarket player. This one is looks interesting and I'm considering upgrading to this.... Link...

    Has anyone on this forum tried a USB hub into the port for Android auto so that they can have USB for music connected and also Android auto connected at the same time?

    Any word on AA for older cars with Nav? (which is terrible)

    Hello, I just purchased this today and I was curious since I am running the LAP3 Uncle Chip Tune if any other readings than "boost" will be inaccurate due to the chip. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks, David

    I checked the forum but didn't see anything directly related to this. Have a 2016 SXL. Some of the time have used Android Auto, with my Motorola Moto Z Force phone. I also just did the UVO update. Pain in the neck to connect the wire. Found that the Google map directions, to me, will not shut...

    So I installed one of the Android radio's in my car over a year ago. Its been amazing so far. The only problem I have with it is during a bluetooth call, whoever I'm talking to hear's an echo coming in on there phone? So whatever they are saying, it gets echoed back to them. I don't hear the...

    HI, I had to do a factory reset on my Galaxy S6, and lost ALL of my contacts in my phone book. But, yesterday I noticed they are still in my car when I pair the phone. Is there a way to transfer them back to my phone. That would really be a life saver, believe me. I lost years of contacts...

    Here's an announcement from Kia today on Android Auto and Apple Carplay available for download at the end of July: www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kia-motors-america-expands-offer-of-free-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-software-updates-to-growing-line-of-vehicles-300300407.html

    So we finally get more info on the availability of Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It's surprising since we knew Android Auto was out and coming, but Carplay was pegged as late in the year. So for sure only 2015 UVO3 and up Optimas will get it leaving 2014 and older out. KIA MOTORS AMERICA...

    Just for kicks and frankly, I got tired of using my phone, I set up an LG Gpad 8" tablet as my display. What do you think? :D
