    This is clearly Trivial Vs a blown engine but I'm wondering Why (since Nav v13) my audio drops from 10 to (ie) 2 in R and comes back in D. The ONLY techie fact I know is that the Bkup Camera is engaged in R and I'm lost from there. The Murphy's Law factor I've considered is that via a v13...

    My friends call me the unofficial KIA spokesperson. :rolleyes: They can't understand how I could have a S550 parked in the garage and drive a KIA almost daily. I guess they never will. I own a 2010 Forte and a 2013 Optima...looking to add a new 2016.
