    Yet another thread on converting NAVI to aftermarket HU Climate Controls First, the easy part, you can replace the NAVI control with dual-automatic climate control form Ebay and it's completely plug in play. I pulled out the Navi HVAC. It is a "QF T-GDI" Model. I have a 2012 SX made in...

    ....vehicle specific? or ....lets just say if I wanted to try a version out in another optima....would it take? If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to reply to send me a pm ;) (Heard someone talking about downloading via torrent or FTP, etc, and it actually working, wondering if this is true)...

    I've searched and while I did find a schematic for the '13 its for the UVO system. I want to see what the rear camera is fed. I want to see if it has a switched hot or ground, if it is switched from the Head unit or somewhere else and also if there are any other signals sent from the HU via...

    I see there is an update to the navigation software available, has anyone updated? And if so, is it worth the $189? (for 2015 Optima).

    I'm sure there have been LOTS of posts about upgrading to stock nav unit...but WHY??? Lol I have a 2013 SXL w/ nav and it's gotta go. This thing is pathetic. Bluetooth is terrible, if it ever actually connects to my iPhone 6+. No phone book to call someone from. still have to use the phone. The...

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but i wasnt able to find any info on it - I know the base/non-infinity system cant be upgraded to uvo or higher due to the amplifier, but I havent seen anything about whether the UVO can be upgraded to the full Navigation system. Would this be possible by...

    Anyone have an idea if KIA will do firmware updates for the head unit separate from the Navigation update?

    Is there a way to suspend guidance from the Nav lady speaking after you enter in the address? Sometimes I type in an addy then go run other errands first and keep looking for a suspend guidance button but I don't see one, my lexus had it but can't seem to find it in this car, or do I have to...

    So i recently bought a DVD head unit to replace my nav one in my 2012 kia optima SX turbo. After much more research, i was going to have to change the HVAC controls, wiring harness, Deal with a canbus, it was going to be a major headache. So I decided what the easiest thing to do would be to...

    Sometimes my Navi show different place. I was in my home in that picture. But my Navi showed me in the ocean. How can I fix this?
  12. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    So I just got my 2015 SXL about a month ago and the whole time I have had it, the navigation system shows me as a quarter mile to many miles away from my actual position at least 50% of the time. Sometimes it is just way off with no rhyme or reason, other times if I am on the highway, as I go...

    Hello All, I have played around with the settings for the Navi and seen the advanced screen for changing the screen settings. Noticed there is a link to upload an image for your Navi system? How is this done? If I have my Smartphone connected to my system listening to Pandora and all...

    I FINALLY HAVE IT INSTALLED!! yes I'm screaming because this was by far the most complicated, pain in the A$$ project i ever did. Literally everything was completely custom fabricated with fiberglass by myself (thanks to some experience with auto body work). I had to buy all the panels and cut...

    I bought my 2013 Optima in Feb 2013 and it had the latest navi on it... US Ver 05.04.13. When Kia serviced my car this summer, they said there was nothing later out...usually comes out around end of year. So...anyone know if V05.04.13 is still the latest? Thanks...

    I can recall that the first navi was powered by windows embedded. Anyone know if the new navi is powered by the same or something else? Kind of curious if i can get into the os to plays videos or something lol.

    i've been thinking of doing this mod for a while now and finally got to it today. i basically ... -took out the dash trim, -glued some neodymium magnets inside of the trim -glued some neodymium magnets behind the plastic case of the nexus 7. (i also have a galaxy 7.7, but didnt have a plastic...

    I accidently hit the Navigation screen and got a small crack in it. Now I'm unable to use most of the buttons. Could someone advise me on what my options are? Is the screen replaceable or do I have to buy a whole new unit? TIA.

    Has anyone had any luck installing an aftermarket stereo or navi system on a newer kia optima with infinity system? I connect everything up but no sound.
