  1. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    In order to get updated maps, I ran the updater for my 2020 Optima based on VIN. First roadblock, map data wouldn't load as the OSes were mismatched. Turns out my VIN says I have a 2020 headunit, but the installed OS says I have a 2018. Ran the 2018 software/firmware update successfully, and the...

    Hello all, I am planning to install a new headunit this week and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with retaining the factory camera. I am fairly confident that I can physically adapt the connection to RCA but I'm concerned about signal compatibility. I have a 2015 Optima LX with UVO...

    Has anyone tried to fit a 2015 optima Android auto headunit into a 2013 optima sxl? Looking for a more straight forward way to get Android auto in my car without doing the climate control swap and a aftermarket headunit.

    Hi all I'm unable to find a solid answer on the forums or google. I saw a YouTube clip of someone doing it but didn't really explain how or what model Optima it was. Has anyone been able to play video via the aux in or any other way to the oem Nav unit on a 2012 Optima?

    Have seen similar posts but nothing that really addresses my issue. Can it be done and what happens with the climate/ac controls? I saw a thread from a user I think called ACE who was working on a project to address this but nothing came from it. Also idatalink don't seem to have anything for...

    Just curious what the most affordable way to accomplish this would be. Is it possible to replace the non-Nav with the stock Nav? Is it a simple one-to-one replacement? What's the price of the stock Nav unit? Are their any after-market head-units that would be essentially be plug-n-play? I'm...

    Hello all, I have a Korean built Optima with Sat nav and infinity sound. It's an Australian model. The GPS suck and there doesn't seem to be any map updates, so i'm wondering if it's possible to get access to the Windows CE section of the head unit and update the maps myself ? Ideally i'd...

    Has anyone successfully installed an android head unit with mirror link to their K5 with factory installed infinity audio system? I have a 2011 model and would like to upgrade. Have tried searching but none specifically state if they had an infinity system, Any help would be appreciated.

    MapNSoft released V9 of their map update on June 1st. I’m considering updating my maps. Haven’t done it since 2012. Has anyone getting V9 as yet? State your car year and post pics. I would like to see if the 2011-2013 cars will now display song tiles when streaming via Bluetooth.

    Well, this happened once when I first got the car, now the satnav has been rendered completely useless and refuses to open once "Agree" is clicked. Goes in for a service in ~3 weeks where they can deal with it, but before then, was wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this?

    I have been looking through a bunch of information on the Chinese HUs but they are all pretty old posts. I was wondering if in the past couple years one HU has proven more reliable than others? I have the Infinity sound system (non nav) and since I have run into an incredible amount of road...

    Hey everyone, got a problem that I need help troubleshooting!! Last weekend I installed my new S-86OPTM in-dash Nav from Soundstream. Everything looks and works great in ACC mode but once I turn the car on the radio shuts off and is replaced with terrible screeching and popping. Below is a...

    Hello everyone, looking for a helping hand here! I installed the S-86OPTM in-dash touch screen and nav by Soundstream last weekend. However, since the install I cant drive 2 minutes without this terrible screeching and poping turning off my radio and overtaking my speakers (the only way to stop...

    I got a stereo installed today and although everything look nice I lost HVAC controls. I wanted to know if these controls were wired to the original factory head unit? I have a standard non uvo stereo with the controls below. The install was done at Best Buy so I hope this wasn't another horror...

    I'm preparing to get a head unit installed and wanted to know which harness is needed. From other post it was discussed that a Metra 70-7304 would work. When taking to an installer they said that it wouldn't work and an Hybl-04 harness is needed. The difference in cost is $180+ with the metra...

    Installed a China DVD-GPS unit today, everything went good as far as taking old radio out and putting new one in. Works good except steering wheel controls, it says you can program the buttons which I can do but when I program another one the previous one doesnt work anymore. Only one button...

    I have a chinese head unit with back up camera everything works fine except one thing bothers me .... every time when the gear is in R, the camera turns on, but the music, radio, or bluebooth turns off while showing the rear view. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I currently run a lineout converter from my stock head unit, but I figure Id probably get a lot better sound by changing out the deck. I do not really want to risk losing some of the key functions...has anyone discovered a viable option that isnt "chinese" and that does not cheapen the look of...
