Installing android radio in 2015 Kia Optima LX. Just simple installation. No factory amp, backup camera, etc. it’s a base model optima. This radio was originally for a 2014 Kia Forte Koup and I guess optima has same wiring and it works perfect.

Has anyone tried to add the backup camera? I have somewhat figured out whats going on with the harness I hope, but I am not sure what I wire the camera into. No instructions with the unit

Thank you for this. My radio system deff needs an upgrade, and this was detailed enough for me to do it myself. Question, what is the USB cable needed for? The one that you ran thru the glovebox
@Djrulez203
@Djrulez203 Жыл бұрын
So the usb cable is for charging your phone or if you’re having bad experience with wireless CarPlay, you can plug in your phone and use wired CarPlay. Sometime wireless CarPlay can be very glitchy. Also if your passenger needs to charge their phone they can use that as well or if you don’t want your passengers to connect to your radio via Bluetooth you can just let them use the usb to stream their music through.

There’s an harness you can get to make Sirius xm work! And my FM on one of my cars was working without antenna but it wasn’t too clear at certain zones especially when parked under a place like parking garage.

Sound worked great no issue at all. I didn’t play any sound on the video due to copyright purposes because KZfaq would block my video if I played and music sadly. And mine worked without doing anything. Basically was plug and play.

It could be many reasons. 1. Probably hasn’t been setup yet through the settings. 2. The radio doesn’t support to retain steering wheel functions and would need additional harness to retain it.

Hey thanks for sharing this video with us. I have some questions: - How long it took you to do all of this? - After you finished everything while driving you here squeky noises from the dashboard and from stuff you took off? - I am having the Gen 1 Navi, is it worth to upgrade to this android navi, you feel like it is cheap navi or it suits better for 2023 standards? - If I have backup camera would it work for this android navi?
@Djrulez203
@Djrulez203 Жыл бұрын
1. Didn’t take too long as I install radios all the time. It was pretty much plug and play. 2. No squeaky noises 3. It’s definitely worth upgrading. I love the android radios as you can literally do anything. It’s basically a tablet so you can download Netflix and watch movie as long as you have internet connection. 4. Yes you can retain backup cameras but you have to get a 12v to 6v step down in order to make it work. Search “retain factory backup camera” on KZfaq and you’ll see tons of videos on it.
