    I own a 2013 EX with NAV radio, and yesterday my Bluetooth decided to stop working. The PHONE button no longer leads to a separate page, instead when you press the button it just says “initializing Bluetooth handsfree”, and proceeds to do nothing. I’ve reset the radio, disconnected the fuse...

    Just bought a 2015 Kia Optima SXL Turbo at a really good deal. But I'm having a weird problem with the bluetooth. It works just fine, but around 15 minutes into listening it will stop playing audio. I noticed that my PHONE shows the bluetooth disconnected, but the car is confused and thinks it's...

    2012 Optima Ex-T with premium audio no Nav. Recently my Galaxy Note 8 has not been pairing on it's own, so I would manually connect it. Thought I would delete the pairing and start fresh. Nothing that I'm aware of has changed on my phone. After the new pairing when the phone connects to the...

    Is there a good aftermarket head unit that will use the existing bluetooth mic for telephone calls? I have installed head units in previous vehicles, and the bluetooth for calls sucks... Thanks in advance!

    My phone is bluetoothed to my 2016 optima, the media plays just fine but when I make calls it doesn't play through my car. I have been able to bluetooth it just fine to other cars, and I just recently bought a new phone which does the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi Everyone! Beargirl from Utah here! I just bought a new 2017 optima about a month ago..... I love the car... But the big issue I am having is the bluetooth will not get out of private mode! If I have the car off and am not on the phone then turn it on the bluetooth calls work.. If I get in the...

    Love my 2018 Optima EX. However when I first start out info screen shows iPhone connected then iPhone disconnected then iPhone connected and stays connected for rest of trip. Is this just the system being a little stubborn so to speak?
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hello, I currently have a 2015 optima and I am having issues today calling through Bluetooth. When I press the call button it seems to connect only to my phone and not the cars speakers. My music plays through my Bluetooth but not the calls I make or recieve.. any advice? First time it has...

    There are a couple of things I find annoying about the stereo (w/Infinity no NAV) in my 2013 Optima. In every other stereo (under $250) I've had for the past 8 years... if I shut the car off listening to Bluetooth, it would default back to Bluetooth when I turned the car back on. Not only...
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Ok so I am having an issue with my car i can't figure out. When making or receiving calls the person on the other line cannot hear me. I thought i had a bad microphone but when I used the vehicle speak functions it hears me just fine. I am using a note 5 phone. My map version was Version 5. I...

    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

    Hey guys and gals, I been noticing this happening once in a while. I have my headlights on auto, and I will have Spotify Bluetooth from Galaxy S6.. when my headlights turn on for whatever reason (night time, or under a dark area) or even on the occasion I turn them on manually. Sometimes my...

    So I will make this short I got an iPhone 7 and although it pairs with Bluetooth the connection seems to fail after turning my car off and turning it back on. I've removed all devices restored my phone even gotten 3 new phones and it's still doing it. Does anyone have any suggestions, maybe a...

    Couldn't find an answer to this in the forum. The other day my Bluetooth stopped working. I have a navy unit in a 2013 EX. I can't pair my iphone6 or iPod. When I hit the phone button all I get is " Bluetooth initializing" at the top of the screen and then it disappears. I don't get the...

    Anyone know if it's possible? I'm guessing not. I want the stock HU to default to Bluetooth everytime I start the car. Mostly because I want to velcro a tablet to the front of the unit. lol Which would give me access to the volume knobs but not the media/FM buttons. The tablet is such a...
  20. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Noticed today the volume of incoming calls or the volume of calls made is so low I can barely understand the person talking. I turned up the volume on the steering column to max with no improvement! I went to setup & don't see a way to increase the volume of voice on incoming calls. I can only...
