Ok I learned more from this video than I did from 3 huge owner's manuals that came with my new 2023PHEV Sportage. Thank you!
Haha that's great! You're welcome, glad the video helped!
Definitely agree!
Mee too! 😂
This is the most comprehensive review of the KIA media screen that I have seen. Thanks.
Haha hopefully helped you learn a thing or two about it!
I’ve tried to find a good clear comprehensive review of the infotainment system. This is the best.
Thanks Alan, glad the video helped! How are you enjoying the Sportage so far?
Just got my HEV GT Line S Kia Sportage 4 days ago and this video has saved me! I bought loads of accessories for the car but when it arrived I realised I didn't have a clue how to use it lol.. Thanks Steve!
Haha, there's a lot to these screens so I'm glad the video helped! Is it the first time that you've owned a Kia?
@Cars With Steve Yes it's my first Kia and I love everything about it!! It was between Kia, Hyundai and MG (not sure you have that make in America) :)
We don't have MG out here but just checked out their site and they have an interesting look to some models! Hope the new ride treats you well
“Chaos! Chaos”! I love that 😂
😋
Thanks for a great video Steve. I get my new sportage tomorrow, so this will come in handy. All the best from the 🇬🇧
Thanks Anthony! Great timing on finding this video, hope you love the new ride
Omg this is perfect! Thank you so much Steve!!!!
Awesome, you're welcome Ash!
Absolutely the best info I have found on the infotainment. Thank you so much.
Thanks Anthony and you're welcome, appreciate that!
Great breakdown on everything. Thank you!
Thanks, glad the video helped!
Brilliant video. Thanks so much. So much to take in - but so amazing to have all these options. Getting ready for collecting my new Sportage in 4 days time. Very excited !
Thanks so much! So much to know but hopefully you end up loving the new ride. First time owning a Kia?
@@CarsWithSteve YES - first time with KIA , although my son has a KIA and has been very pleased. first hybrid as well - so really can’t wait
4 days! The dealer will probably be excited that you know more about the car than the sales person does haha
@@CarsWithSteve indeed 😂😂😂
Subscribed to channel 👍 thanks from Scotland.
This was very helpful! Thanks!
You're welcome, glad the video helped!
I found this informative but because Steve is so fluent on how to use everything it made him go a little too fast. I used this videos help with a few things but had to rewind a couple times to make sure I had it right.
I was thinking the same thing. Head swimming
I just got my 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX prestige a couple days ago and this video really helped. Ty!!
Awesome, you're welcome! How are you liking it so far?
I Love it!!!
@@sixxstringtattz6049 awesome!
Absolutely phenomenal video big thank you
You're welcome Mitul!
I've just ordered mine (in the UK)..... will have to wait a few months. Amazing the options available - great video and instruction. A bit fast but necessary given how much there is to get through, will have to replay a bit.
Thanks Dabber.. surprisingly this is me trying to go slow lol - you should try to watch some of my first videos. Try changing the playback speed to 0.75x - seems to be the sweet spot. Is it the first time that you'll own a Kia?
@@CarsWithSteve LOL Steve. Yes, first time for a Kia. Currently running an Octavia estate and an elderly Hyundai Santa Fe (which has been a great car) and will stay with the family.
You'll find this just a few steps above the old Santa Fe but as long as you treat it well it should last you a long time as well
Thanks, this is super useful as the sportage is the front runner in my search for a new car. I must say though, I am a little disappointed how laggy it looks when navigating.
You're welcome! If it helps the video was shot in 23.976 fps which gives some natural motion blur, it's pretty good in person. What other cars are on the list for your next ride?
Many thanks, this will be very helpful.
You're welcome!
Very details explanation thanks!
You're welcome!
An excellent informative vehicle - thank you.
You're welcome!
Excellent information and presentation.
Thanks Mark, appreciate that!
Very clear and comprehensive
Thanks!
thank you, u really helped us all
You’re welcome!
Well done!
Thank you!
Thx for making a video.
You're welcome!
Well done. Excellent video, now I’m totally confused..LOL
HAHA, so many things to learn about it. Let me know if you have any questions!
Brillient very imformative
Thanks Michael!
Great presentation, I learned so much. But I have a question about navigation updates. Are updates available online for free or fee?
Thanks Andre! Map updates are available free if you do it yourself but bringing it in for a dealer update would incur a cost
Hey Steve.
First of all congrats. Excellent video.
Just a question. For Kia Sportage 2022 the wireless Apple Carplay I think is not available as a factory option but there is a way to do it or fix it or it's impossible?
Thank you :)
Thanks Alexandre, appreciate that! There's no option to add wireless CarPlay or Android Auto that I know of... There are a few aftermarket usb devices that mirror screens but haven't tried one on this screen yet
Great informative video, will come in useful when my Sportage arrives next year. Was grinding my teeth at all the "Eck" Ceteras though. It's ET Cetera! 😄
Lol so many of them
thank you for this ! Getting my sportage next month. If i am using android auto, will the driver counsel (Where the speedometer is) show navigation prompts (Turn left in 2 miles etc) if i am using google maps or waze? I noticed the stock navigation had this feature but I'm curious if the third party apps extend over to the second display.
You're welcome! I wish that navigation from android auto or CarPlay would follow into the cluster.. No manufacturer I've reviewed so far has had that available
@@CarsWithSteve only the ones using Google based built-in systems, like Volvo XC40 or Renault Megane E-Tech.
A lot to learn thanks for the video. One draw back fingerprints on the top left (home) quite visible.
I've noticed it's easy to leave fingerprints behind on this screen too. Microfibre cloth is the way to go unless you go for a screen protector
Wow you knew there was Korean words. It must been power of BTS and Netflix. Thank you for sharing this. I really need this you shared in detail what functionality and how to use it and options.
If people didn't knew Hyunday bought KIA so that's why you're getting same warranty of Hyunday 10 years factory warranty in KIA.
And thank you for using Samsung Galaxy phone too.
Good catch on the small details and glad you found the video helpful. Have to say.. I really did enjoy Squid Game and Parasite ;)
Great informative video! I've just brought a Sportage and i love it! But the only thing which annoys me is that when you use android auto, you can't use the whole screen! Surprised no one else has mentioned this in the comments!
Thanks Ian! So true about the odd full screen issue. Every manufacturer seems to have one quirky part of their screens for Android Auto or CarPlay. First time that you've owned a Kia?
@CarsWithSteve No I had a previous 2018 model with 7 inch screen and AA filled the whole screen! It just seems a shame that this glorious 12inch screen isn't optimised (yet) to show the whole maps! A future update in future perhaps?
Just found this video and it is great. I have a 2023 kia sportage x prestige and was wondering-can apple CarPlay be set up to automatically launch when the phone is connected?
Thanks Robert! No way to autolaunch that I've been able to find.. you have to manually select it after you plug back in
@@CarsWithSteve ok. thanks
I just want this car but don't have the money right now. But im definitely buying one my wife loves it too. But i can't buy the gt line can't afford it. I can only buy advance pack hybrid which has harman 360cam and park assist some more stuff i don't remember everything. This media system is crazy just love it, this must be the best, responsive entertainment system out there so much options it's incredible. Ive tried from different car brands and this one is ahead of it's time. Tried Mercedes, BMW, Hyundai, VW and many more i tell you this one is definitely great design in apps and responsive and innovative totally. Can you actually watch a video movie through your phone on the display. I'm very new at Kia cars and sportage is the one we want. Very good video thumb up for the video it's very helpful so im ready when the time comes. Great 👍
Thanks Vladimir! Always a good idea to get behind the wheel of something in your budget! The build you're thinking of still sounds like it'll be pretty feature packed.
There's no option from the factory to watch video on the screen... yet. I'm hoping CarPlay/AA give the option to watch when the vehicle is stopped though!
@@CarsWithSteve yes the pack is quite good im going to miss some feature from the gt line but i have to live with that othewise the car pack a hole lot for the money. We are tall family and the car is spacious has plenty of room well plenty is a bit exaggerated but there is room for us with ease. For the video i hope in the future. Thank you for info.
@@FromMeToYou77 I've always been surprised at all the tech that Kia vehicles have too! Glad the video helped!
Thank you for this video. I have a Kia Sportage 2022, and I was able to change the language from Korean to English. I attempted to download the update from the official website using flash memory but I received a notice that it was not supported. whereas the map and the navigation still display a map of Korea. Is there a way to change the map to show the city where I live?
You're welcome! You can try resetting the screen to see if that fixes the GPS location.. hold down the FM and map buttons at the same time for 20 - 25 seconds. The screen should turn off and then come back on again
What trim does the surround view start at? I just got the HEV Sportage LX
On the hybrid side, the surround view monitor is only available in the SX trim levels in Canada and the US
How can you switch mph to ride and rpm to left on the cluster ?
Thanks, this is everything I wanted to learn about the vehicle. None of the video reviews cover the media system. Just what size wheels & cup holders in every video. This is my number 1 pick for an upgrade.
Anytime, good to know you found the video helpful! What car are you driving now?
@@CarsWithSteve 2015 Mazda CX-5
That'll be just a bit of an upgrade! Any other ones on your list?
Not currently. I'm trying to avoid vehicles with a monitor sticking up through the dash. Really don't like the way that looks. Just really wanted some new tech in my vehicle since my commute is over an hour long.
The Ford Escape just got an upgrade for the 2023 model. Some similar tech to the Sportage, has a fully digital cluster that's built in rather than sticking up, there's an available traditional or plugin hybrid too
Here's a full review of the 2023 Escape: czcams.com/video/KgB_S1c5eME/video.html
Great Video. Where can I find the details of Kia connect subscription and what benefit it gives us? Thanks!
Thanks Mazanur! Kia Connect can let you do things like:
- remote start
- lock/unlock doors
- set climate
all through your phone. You need an active Kia Connect subscription to do it but it's a great feature. Easiest way to find it for your country is to hop on google - Kia Connect "country"
@@CarsWithSteve Thanks, will look into it!
@@MizanurShuvraRidwan anytime!
Is the monitor for lane assistance and the back up camera showing a 360 view available in all models?
It's not.. only certain trim levels have it available as an option. You'd be looking at the Surround View Monitor which has different availability in Canada and the US
To use the carplay can I plug into another USB drive or does it only recognize the USB below the dash?
If it has the USB data icon then you're good to go but I believe all the other USB ports are charge only
Steve, I just enrolled in the Kia Connect Ultimate package via purchasing the new 2023 Sorrento Hyrbid, However I dont see the Data/Network icon in the setup menu. Do you know how to have it show up so I can have a Wifi hotspot
You need a data plan for WiFi Hotspots, the Kia Connect plans are more for Security, Alerts and Remote Start on the vehicle... I believe it's through Verizon in the US. You get 3 months of free service after signing up for it and then it's a paid subscription after that
I have a 2023 kia sportage sx prestige model but mine does not have the rear warmer. Is it different from what you used for the video?
Heated 2nd row seats are a Canada exclusive in some of the higher trim levels
Warm fireplace sound: sounds like the car's on fire. Nice.
HAHA, I'd be wary about that in some cars right now
Does big screen directly in front of driver (dash) do any view other than data, speedometer, tach, fuel level. Etc. Would be great to have map in dash, but heads up display may suffice, if option . Map in dash is on new volvo xc60
Not too much to the cluster screen unfortunately - I've got that walkthrough video coming out next weekend! I've always liked the map in dash feature that cars offer and hopefully it's added in future builds
Hey Steve.. how much do you like the sound system..? I heared many complaints about, bass on the back, not working. Can you comment on it?
I'm a fan, especially with the upgraded systems. I haven't had trouble with the bass when I've been in the Sportage. Just make sure to turn up the base a bit in the vehicle settings. Set at around +3 is good to my ears.
Can you tell me, is it possible to buy three more cameras (two in the mirrors and one in front) in x-line kit, which has the same multimedia screen, but only one rear camera, and connect them without changing the standard stereo to get an all-round view? Or is it incompatible?
I haven't seen anyone add it in aftermarket.. The wiring would be a nightmare and the additional cameras wouldn't just be plug and play, the screen would need to be programmed for them
How can I put XM weather map over layed onto the MAP?
Hi Steve, is there a way to listen to Satellite radio and also use apple car play for navigation?
Ah the weird bug in Kia and Hyundai media screens..
1. Launch CarPlay and set up your navigation
2. Use the Media button under the screen and then select your satellite radio station
3. Jump back into CarPlay
and you should be good to go!
@@CarsWithSteve thanks!!
anytime!
I'm waiting for my Kia Sportage PHEV. I will get mine in a couple of weeks. I learned a lot from this video. Great work!
Thanks! I've heard some good things about the hybrid, hope you enjoy the new ride
Did you get your new car. How is the experience? I’m also waiting for mine
@@jaspreetsinghb I'm really surprised by the fantastic experience. I have had Mercedes-Benz as a company car.. 2 years ago. This car as good as Mercedes-Benz. Enyoy your new car 😀
@@ulfstrom how is the whole EV experience? Are you getting the good range out of it ?
@@jaspreetsinghb I’m getting around 60km of range. I have seen a range about 70km. But I have never seen that in reality. 64km is my best.😀
I purchased a SX Prestige the other day. I love ALL the cool features. But I’m looking for one specifically that my last 2 cars had. When listening to the radio or satellite radio, if a song is playing which I want to add as a specific favorite, how do I do that? This feature will let me know if that song is playing on a different station than what I’m currently listening to. I hope this car has it as it’s one of my favorite features. Thank you.
That's great Rosa, glad you're enjoying it! For regular radio, there is no option to save the artist or song and normally you'd have that option in SiriusXM. It doesn't look like I covered it off in this video. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in a Sportage!
One thing you could try though.. on SiriusXM, when a song or artist comes on that you enjoy, press the three line icon on the top of the screen to see if a Save Song/Artist prompt is there
@@CarsWithSteve I tried what you selected however the functions, when selecting the 3 lines were about presets and channels, not individual songs or artists. I just assumed all new cars came with this feature but it appears I was wrong.
@@BoTime Yeah it's normally an option so it's odd it's not here. Should be in a Kia next week so I'll have a look!
@@CarsWithSteve Ok, but I don't think it exists. One more question, is there a full size screen available when listening to satellite or the radio where the entire name of the song/ artist is displayed? Currently, only a portion of each is displayed.
The cameras on these cars dobt record the footage right? Plann6on getting the kia sorento phev 2022 but i cant find if it records footage or not.
I wish they could! Camera recording isn't available yet..
Can apple carplay be wireless on the sportage 2023 or does it have to be plugged in with a cord?
The 8" screen in the base model has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, otherwise it's a wired connection
How do you reset the radio to show the old school "radio tubes" instead of album covers? I can't find info. anywhere!
Are you listening to the radio (AM/FM), SiriusXM or your phone?
I have the same problem, I'm listening regular FM but I cannot find a way to go back to the tubes screen, can you help?
Steve, fantastic video now that I own the car. Major issue I am encountering...perhaps someone can help. Two drivers in the house. Both iPhones connected to the Sportage PHEV SX via bluetooth, each on its designated user profile. Once the car is shut off, and then when you come back to start the car again, the phones dont automatically re-establish the bluetooth connection. You have to go into device connections, and then on the iphone press the Kia in bluetooth and press the phone on the screen menu in the car. I know it shouldnt have to be that way. What is going on here? How can i get each iphone to simply automatically re-establish bluetooth connectivy once back into the car each time?
Thanks Dave! This screen doesn't have a designated area for enabling or disabling auto connection - it should auto connect based on which phone is set to have connection priority. The only thing I could recommend to try here is to delete the phone from the vehicle and the vehicle from the phone and try to reconnect
I have an Android phone and my wife has an Apple iPhone, providing us with both Android Auto and Apple Car Play options. From just a navigation point of view, are there any benefits to phone based navigation as opposed to the built-in KIA navigation software? We travel from Canada to the U.S. quite often, where KIA Navi would be free, and the phone based navigation would incur roaming cellular data charges. The other advantage of KIA Navi is that I don't have to plug in the phone to the USB port and would just place it on the wireless charging shelf.
Benefit of the phone nav, especially on CarPlay, would be using Waze for live traffic, police presence etc. I'd use CarPlay or AA in Canada and then flip to factory nav when roaming if you don't have a travel data plan
@@CarsWithSteve Thanks.
@@williammichael3357 anytime!
I prefer the Kia navigation screen over Google Maps however if I need to speak directions to Kia, I’m NEVER understood. I thought the newest update fixed that but it didn’t. I called Kia Connect; the representative heard me loud and clear. Is there a microphone that I need to “direct” my voice into? I might have to wait until my first oil change to get my dealership to check it out.
I find that voice assistant for nav can be hit and miss for specific addresses but is great for point of interest spots. Speaking really slowly and clearly seems to help. If it's to the same addresses it's probably a good idea to set it up as a favorite address!
Do you have to plug in the phone to connect music and things to it?
You need to be connected over USB for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. If you're just listening to music or need it for phone calls you can connect over bluetooth
Anyone know how to switch from radio mode 1 to radio mode 2? Ours had the small glass tubes as a display. We accidentally bumped a button and now its radio mode 1.
Cant find how to switch it.
Thanks
If you go to the radio page and then hit the 3 line button on the top of the screen on the left is there an option there to change it?
So my X pro doesn’t have the camera reverse settings or the blind spot camera when you signal
Makes sense.. it's the X Pro Prestige (1 trim level up from yours) that would have the blind spot camera. Unfortunately no easy way to add it aftermarket
Great tutorial. One question, Is it possible to change the phone name?
Thanks Mac! Phone name would be done on your phone - are you using an Android or iPhone?
@@CarsWithSteve Android
@@CarsWithSteve Hi Steve, thanks for letting me know that I must change the device name on my phone. I Googled "how to do it" and have now changed the name. I wanted to use my nickname rather than my given name. Your advice is much appreciated.
@@MNM14ful glad you were able to get it figured out!
Can I change the navigation directions to be read from the top to bottom instead of the bottom to the top.
Don’t believe so.. customization on these screens is a bit limited
I just got a Sportage ex 2023,no vacuum tube radio look. 😢 ugh. How do I get it back. Had a preowner for months. Now I'm in Kia Connect and still not old style look. Help!
Some of the newer models had an interface update that got rid of the tube look. Haven't found a way to get it back yet
Is anyone able to confirm - can this top trim with the larger screen, stream audio via bluetooth if you choose not to hardwire connect your phone (to carplay)? As in, not using carplay but still stream bluetooth audio?
Yes it can! It's just USB connection for CarPlay and Android Auto. You'd be able to make phone calls and stream music over bluetooth no problem
Why does the Bluetooth turn off when you plug in iphone car play as when someone calls it goes to phone and not car, any suggestions
CarPlay and Android Auto actually use a wifi connection with the car and you can't have an active bluetooth signal to it at the same time
Also I can't find the hi beam assist
how could i connect apple Carply but wireless?
Not available as a factory option if you have this screen in your Sportage
Just picked up my 2023 KIa Sportage EX hybrid and the phone favorite button is not an option. The contact, last call, mail option all display but not the favorites (which I use all the time).Any thoughts?
and I used Bluetooth to connect my iPhone. Call history and contacts showed up but not the favorites.
Only thing I can think of for you to try is a fix for some other models. Go to the phone contacts list on the media screen when you're connected over bluetooth. Click on the contact and then press the star if there's one showing which should save it as a favorite. If that star option isn't showing the version of the screen your on doesn't support phone favorites. Contact Kia directly if that's the case and tell them it's a feature you want added back in
thank you. i tried to select the contact and it does not give me the option to make it a favorite either I have the EV Hybrid model and am so frustrated it is not a feature. Also no homelink in my car. I am going to have to pay to put it in, @@CarsWithSteve
Looks like the software update pulled that out.. that sucks! Only work around you could do is to duplicate and then number your favourite contacts so they show up first.. So it would be 1 Sally, 2 Amanda etc
thank you thats a good idea have you heard they pulled it out? The dealership is claiming it is still an option an d is going to look at it his week . also not happy homelink rearview mirror is not in the EV model. I am paying to have it put in @@CarsWithSteve
How can I increase volume for incoming calls on bluetooth? I can hardly hear incoming voice. Thanks!
Two things that you can try...
1. Turn up the volume in the vehicle using the volume knob
2. Turn up the volume on your phone
Thanks!
Does anyone know how to turn off the audio that alerts you of the upcoming speed cameras. I have been to the KIA dealership and no one knows how to fix it. It is really annoying and doesn't stop.
this has been killing me i dont think there is a away to stop it
Has the AA split screen bug been fixed yet? i still cant turn it off.
I wish! Still only split screen as an option. Waiting for a fix because the bug is affecting multiple manufacturers
Check the Kia update webpage. The May 2022 update (for Australia) gave full screen AA. It still however does a 1/3 split with a second App running E.g. Waze in 2/3 and music App in the other 1/3
@@tarquinfintin6232 I was in a car a few weeks ago and noticed that split screen. Still not as nice as full screen map would be but at least it's functional space now!
Hope Pandora works with Android Auto in the Sportage.
Pandora is listed in the supported apps!
Does anyone know how to swap what's in each split screen? Specifically I would like Apple car play on the main screen with the map on the small side screen. I swear I had it like that once, but now it's always the reverse. The map is in the main space and the car play is in the small side space. Maybe an update changed it?? Thxs
When you've got Apple CarPlay active it should be the primary screen on the left. When your phone is connected through CarPlay are you going through the Home --> Apple CarPlay to launch into it?
Good afternoon. Can you explain to me why I can’t listen to the radio when Im on the phone with my AirPods ?
That's a pretty odd issue. One workaround if you aren't using CarPlay and just use AirPods for phone calls would be to disable the phone connection
Setup --> Device Connections --> Device Connections
Toggle off the phone connection and make sure audio is highlighed
If you are using CarPlay.. I'd have to see if there's a workaround the next time I'm in a Sportage
@@CarsWithSteve I’ll try that. Thank you
@@andreamillien you're welcome!
Why don't mine have the active sound design. It's the 2023 Kia Sportage SX Prestige hybrid
good question.. It should be there but when I have a chance to get behind the wheel of a Sportage Hybrid I'll have a look and see if it's laid out differently
Ok tyvm
@@sixxstringtattz6049 anytime!
So android auto works only when its conected by usb ?
In this larger screen, yes it's USB only
@@CarsWithSteve what abaut 2024 4x model ?
The LX? If it's the entry level model that should come with the smaller 8" screen and not this larger one. The smaller screens support wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
@@CarsWithSteve ahh ok so i have to br connected all the time i have one with 12 "
You got it!
wonder why it is not wireless?
That is a great question
Good info but, can you talk a little slower for those of us who can not follow quick speech?
Change the playback speed to 0.75x and rewind/pause as needed - this is surprisingly slow compared to how fast I normally go
Very comprehensive video , unfortunately commentary done so fast almost impossible to keep track. Perhaps limited by time but would suggest if possible to slow down
And here I thought I was speaking slower than usual haha. Try changing the playback speed to 0.75x but I'll see if I can slow er down a bit more in the next videos I shoot
CarPlay is literally lightyears ahead of Android Auto.
It really is on this! Apparently Google is updating it and opening up the CZcams app on Android Auto at some point this year so Android users may be able to watch videos on the screen
peoblem is, most of the soddin option reset when switched off like lane assist etc, its shite....option should stay until changed.
Would be useful if some of those settings stayed on for sure
Can you play a movie through that screen or hook up to Netflix….. not while driving lol
I wish! Android Auto is supposed to be getting support for video in the next year or so.. but nothing confirmed from Apple. I can't see Kia introducing that as a built in feature so it would be up to either Google or Apple to implement it
Jealous! Why doesn't my car have the camera view like that 😢 😭
All depends on the build you have for your Sportage! This 360 camera isn't available across the whole lineup
How are you liking yours otherwise?
We bought a 2022 model kia Sportage GT Line back in march 1st 2023, and the UI is so ugly. It's as stock as it gets, it's greyish black, and it's clunky and rarely does full screen. Most of these options you have on yours are not even in there like quiet mode... What can I do to update it? We live in Morocco, and the company here is so useless, they literally understand nothing in tech and tell us "oh no, there's no other update other than this" and then I show them UI like yours and they're flabbergasted... It's so frustrating that it's been a year and 3 months and they wouldn't update it nor let us do it ourselves without voiding the warantee 😑 can anybody help?
There are generally 2 different screen options available in most Kia cars, with this one being the standard option in most higher trims. The software in the smaller screen can't just be updated to have these features, it has to be fully replaced. I haven't seen a successful swap done yet to move into a larger one.. not saying it's not possible but it would probably be pricey and a headache to do it
No wireless CarPlay in 2023?? Wtf
I know right? The smaller 8" screen in the LX trim has wireless but this larger one doesn't. Bizarre
Here in the U.K. I was informed by the dealer that this is due to a licensing disagreement on how these car services should be displayed, on the larger screens. The units apparently have the capability so could be updated via a software update in the future……I have no idea if this is true, but that is what I was told.
I just bought a top of the line Sportage several days ago. Maybe it's my age showing but this is simply too much.
There is a lot to it for sure but the big ones most people need to know are connecting a phone, operating the radio and then navigation. The added tech is neat but unnecessary for some.
The sales people always connect the phone for you. This is my third Kia in 4 years so that's never a problem. Truthfully, the navigation from Google Maps is far superior and easier to use. I might just project it onto the screen. Is that possible?
You can use Android auto or Apple CarPlay, which are covered in this video on how to connect! The maps can be shown on this infotainment system but cannot be mirrored in the steering wheel cluster screen
Ok, so they don’t have a wireless Apple carplay
Unfortunately not
Why is my screen hot all the time...
That's an odd one.. If it's not because the car is in direct sunlight or you have the heat you can try a manual reset using a paper clip by the volume rocker. Have your dealer look into it if the problem keeps happening

Thanks for the demo really great. Dont pronoune etcetera "eksetera", its sounds so out of tune
Nothing better than some positivity sprinkled with a pronunciation check 🙄
If your going to teach or give a tutorial , the idea is not to go as fast as you can .... people need to see clearly what you/re doing.Stop the showing off and slow down.
If you think this is fast you should see my early videos. You could always change the playback speed to something that's easier for you to follow.. or you know.. rewind and pause as needed
Good informative vid. Shame your car is made for the wrong side of the road. Lol
Haha! Have to find my way to Europe to see what your cars are like on that side of the world
Adding the language of Sportage 2023
No way to add a language outside of what is already there.. Available languages are region specific
@@CarsWithSteve My car is a 23 Sportage and it does not support the Arabic language or Middle East maps. Is there a solution?
