I'm looking at swapping out my JVC unit for an aftermarket double din radio to add Bluetooth, dab etc. To the car but it's hard getting info on this car so it seems...
Has anyone else done this? If so does a double din radio fit or so I need a fascia kit? Etc.
Any double.din radio fits but refit the foam trim that is fitted to the JVC to cover the small gap. Also if the new unit is mechless and is only about 3 inches deep then it's difficult to fit bit not impossible! Shame Kia never did an OEM unit really.
Cheers. Yeah once mot is out the way I'll need to upgrade to a bluetooth unit sick of plugging the phone in n out when I leave the car. 1st world problems lol
Totally agree. Also recently learned that the JVC unit has a cd changer port on the back. You can convert this to an aux port with a simple cable and connect a dab/Bluetooth aftermarket adaptor with no wires on show if you'd prefer to keep the OEM unit. Other than that it's aftermarket all the way. The Sedona has the standard ISO radio plugs and ISO banana type antenna plug. Can't help with steering wheel controls as I have the LS model...
Also looking into an in car multimedia setup with a roof mounted screen but I'm gonna have to build some sort of signalled speaker input switch so the MMS will use rear speakers when in use and radio uses all speakers when not in use...
Well if a aux Bluetooth solution works then I'd look at utilising the cd changer input. You don't want an adaptor flapping around on the front of the radio do you.
