    Has anyone had their radio just stop working volume wise?? I have a 21 Kia forte GT. The dealer recommended replacing the head unit after testing it. I'm just waiting for it as it's on backorder.

    The KIA website lists that update version # as for 2022 Fortes or did I look at it wrong?

    Hey, I need this update but I don't have a PC at this time, and I can't download the file via my Pixel 7. Is there anyway to share that file so I can update my navigation also? And do you have any trouble with Android auto connecting and disconnecting? Thanks Josh

      I could totally mirror it when I get home!! Great idea. Give me a couple of hours. And no issues so far.

      So I backed it up two different ways. One way, I just took every file and zipped it up. So you unzip it and put it all on the root directory. www.mediafire.com/file/htri0ue8hbav1mg/kia.zip/file the other way, (using a mac) I made an image of my sd card. So you'd just restore it. www.mediafire.com/file/fujyv2fg99eicsn/64GB.dmg/file I used a 64gb usb drive.

      Unfortunately no, I think the download is digitally signed or something. I had to download the file from Kia then it worked with no problem

      @thebepis712 5 місяців тому

      I believe this is a limitation of the gt infotainment not having a wifi card to connect with wireless carplay. There are adapters available though that you can plug into the airplay usb port
