Hidden tricks to make your Kia Radio sound better! - Kia Class 

Sweet!! Thanks for letting me know that this was helpful!

Awesome! Thanks for watching and sharing this!

Oh wow... I'm not the perfect person for this. I think it depends on what kind of music you listen to. I know a lot of people who like to boost the treble and bass, while leaving the mid closer to centred out, but if you have only speaking, like a podcast, sometimes it's better to have the mid boosted, and the treble or bass lower. I'd have to do some RU-vid research to come up with a standard. I just make it sound good for my music to my ears, and I'm not sure that there is any science behind my reasoning.

Usually, the only updates are mapping updates on vehicles with navigation. Other than that, there may be minor software updates that you can ask your dealer about by running your VIN in their system and checking for Service Actions, or Service Campaigns.

Thanks for watching!

same for mine

Same for mine as well

There are software differences between vehicles, and between different countries too. So it's tough to make one video that serves everyone.

Great question, and as of now, it cannot. There are rumours that a future software update may allow that, but I can't get anyone to confirm that right now. So I can't promise anything.

Maybe not? That's a good question. I don't remember noticing one. What I do know is that the keyless entry key has to be in the car or the car beeps if it's left on.

I'm definitely not the best person to speak to about this. I would connect with your local Kia parts and service department and they should have wiring diagrams and experience to help you out.

Yeah, you can do that. The SX model has 18 inch wheels, so I would suggest matching that tire and rim size to have correct fitment.

I'm not sure what you're asking me to film? Showing loudness is difficult to do on RU-vid.

Change your equalizer settings on your phone to “OFF” and it’ll be louder

Sounds like you should make a quick trip to your service department to see if there's an issue.

You'll have to check and let me know! The K5 is a vehicle that we just can't seem to keep in stock. Every time we get one, it's sold and out the door. I'll have to check the next time we get in.

not the 6 watt SS. i think it only applies when you have the 12 watt BOSE sound system.

@@endofeveryone8989 Yeah, not every feature will be available on every stereo.

No, not yet. At least not that I'm aware of. Only the 10.25" screens of the newer vehicles have had updates.

Interesting. We get Sattelite radio in Canada as well, but yes, things are different around the world.

If you swipe the screen to the Apps, it should be right there as a selection. Of you don't see it, let me know and I'll dig into it.

@@BrantfordKia I wish it was that easy...can't find it anywhere...let me know what you think...got a while before my first oil change...was going to ask them there...I don't believe I'm technically challenged but there's always a first...lol

Yeah, it's not on every vehicle.

Not really! :) It's been a while since I've dug around in that car.

Haha! We can always count on you Humberto!

No, you have the newer software.

Yes you can lol

@@mulliganfpv2332 , HOW? Please?

Hi Dan - we've had absolutely zero issues here. I wonder if you have an antennae issue in your car?

Interesting.

Nor premium sound (I have 2020 Telluride EX)

Perfect! How do you like it? What's your favourite feature?

The Sorento X-Line will have newer software than this, but it should work similarly.

Some may be, some will not be. I don't have specific information on vehicles sold in India.

@@BrantfordKia Ok thanks

I drive that car, and some of these tricks work on that vehicle as well.

Click media

Great advice! Yes, if you have a subscription and you buy from Brantford Kia, you can let SiriusXM know about your new vehicle and they'll give you 3 months for free on your current subscription.

They seem to be growing rapidly. I didn't realize how many were in our area until just this past week. We didn't have any not too long ago.

Some of these features are not going to work with every vehicle.

It will have similar functions.

Haha! Thanks for watching!

Not every Kia will, but many have it. Currently the higher trim levels of most Kia vehicles come equipped with it.

@@BrantfordKia is there any retrofit option from the manufacturer to add XM in Kias that don't have it installed? I bought a base K5 Gt-Line and was so sad about the lack of satellite radio. :(

@@richesofthepoor In Canada the K5 GT-Line has satellite radio. So if you're Canadian it should be there. If not, there's no simple fix, the car doesn't have the antenna or receiver capable of obtaining the signal, so you would have to go with an aftermarket unit, and maybe play through Bluetooth?

I think it sounds great.

Shhhh! Don't tell the boss!!

I believe if the album is from iTunes on an iPhone that it will show. I could be wrong about that.
