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

      You’re right. But I still tried it and it worked.

    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.

      yes, on two different 2023 forte GTs. only fix I could find was undoing the negative on the battery for a few mins or it just fixes itself on startup. Definitely something wrong with the radios in them.

    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.

      @thebepis712 10 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
