    I installed a Kenwood stereo where this use to be and I no longer have a use for it. $25 and you pay shipping and it is yours! :thumbsup:

    It seems about every other time I get into the car, the iPod is no longer recognized. This is in my 2016 SXL. The new UVO is far worse than it was in my 2012. I had sporadic connectivity issues with it, but like I say about every other time I get in the car, I have to unplug and re-insert the...

    I've been getting this for about a week now, 8/10 times it doesn't work, bluetooth works fine but no iPod when plugged into the iPhone port in the car (iPhone 6+) Anyone else having any issues? Probably something on Apples side I'm assuming seems they like to do crap that makes everyones life...

    As I do not have an iPhone I am interested in using an iPod to use Pandora. Has anyone verified that newer versions of iPods than listed in the user guide included with the car are compatible with a '15?

    I regularly use my iPod in my Kia Optima SXL. Generally, there are no issues to speak of, except this one: I recently "sync'd" my iPod with iTunes (had added a bunch of new music). Now, iTunes is not the best thing ever invented & I absolutely hate the fact that every time I sync the two...

    Has anyone thought about creating a sliding tray cover or lid to cover the hideous cigarette lighter and ipod plug tray area? It would be nice to plop an ipod down there and keep it covered. It would also be nice since it would keep my iPod out of view from potential thieves and out of any...

    Looking to see if anyone else is having this problem. I've searched..... but found nothing exactly the same. Standard UVO (sp?) radio, non- nav. 2013 Optima SX. = 31,000 miles. I have a standard Ipod (3rd gen?) plugged into the USB port. While listing to the Ipod, the radio will randomly...

    Hi All, Quick question... I have a '12 SX with navi and currently play my iphone 4s with a knock-off kia ipod cable that I got on amazon. I'm going to buy a 5s, and was wondering if there are any 30 pin to lightning adapters I can buy that will allow me to keep using the same cable. Thanks!

    OK, I have an issue which is driving me nuts. Sometimes, not always, there is a distinct & loud crackling and popping noise when playing music from my iPod through the UVO system. Here are the conditions when it happens: it only affects iPod music. All other sources sound fine Increasing volume...

    I've been researching this issue for some time and I can't seem to find a definitive answer. The problem is that 90% (approx) of the time I plug the iPhone to the car via the Apple cable to listen to the iPod, it does not connect. The only way Iv'e found for it to work is if I do an iPhone...

    i have a 2014 sx turbo and i have a ipod touch 5 hooked up via the USB port of the car to play music. everything seems to work as intended except that my playlist will always unshuffle everytime i turn the car back on. for instance i will have one playlist with about 210 songs playing. I have it...

    This has been driving me crazy. I had an older iPod that I'd connect using the Kia iPod cable. Picked up a new iPod nano a few months ago, and it uses the new connector, so my first choice was to just use my iPod through Bluetooth. Simple enough. I'd done it with my older iPod Touch with no...

    I have a ipod touch 4th gen. If I just connect the aux in cable, it sounds fine but I have to get the volume up to about 18 for it to be decently loud. Now if I plug in the ipod usb cable in and also the aux in it sounds amped up, so basically I can play it at the desired volume at around 10-12...

    So my time has come to upgrade phones and I'm thinking of returning to android(have an iphone5). Now I use my iphone all the time to play music when driving. This is on of the features keeping me back from going android. of course i could also buy an actual ipod and use it for that but I rather...

    Maybe those that use an iPod classic can answer this. Tried searching but nothing came up. So I have a 6th generation IPod Classic 160gb. Have a ton of music on there. Using the Kia OEM cable for connection. Searching for artists takes forever using the dial. Is there any way of doing a faster...

    I have my ipod classic connected to my Optima (with Navi) and it too often loses its connection. This almost never happened to me in other cars with standard ipod/mp3 cables. Is this a problem with our cars or with my cable? Any one have similar issues and what is the fix? Thanks-Chris

    Has anyone come across (or own) a china unit where you can navigate through your iPod fluidly? I almost just bought a china navi, but found out you can ONLY search through songs.... As I have 1000's of songs, that's not going to cut it. My top priorities are: maintain steering wheel controls...

    Since I can't seem to post on the Electronics sub forum I will post my question here. I am still waiting on the adaptor cable from the dealer, in the mean time I am using the while iPod sync cable on the Infiniti system, I can hear the audio and control the iPod but I am getting weird file...

    Hey guys (and girls if any lol) Got an 8GB iPod touch I think 4th or 5th gen or whatever they're up to now. When I hook it up via USB using the chord that came with the pod, it makes the noise that it's started charging, but then immediately stops. then right after the noise again, and then it...
