    Randy Young, radio security codes are usually written in your car manual or given to you when you purchase the vehicle. If you don’t have the radio security code, you would have to obtain it from the Kia dealer. Hope this helps.

    Hi, I was looking for a stereo wiring diagram for a 2007 Kia Sorento. I couldn’t find a Sorento listed any where under Kia. I wasn’t sure if it is the same as the Hundai Santa Fe or not. Thanks, in advance. Jimmy

    Hey yall i was changing out my old cd player for a new one in a 2002 Kia Spectra, I connected all the wires but i can turn the cd player on without the car running which will eventually drain my battery help please?

    Trey, you may have mixed up the battery constant and accessory switched wires. The battery constant always sends power to the radio to save your radio stations and other audio settings. The accessory switched wire sends power to your radio only when the key is in the ignition and your car is on. Check your wiring and make sure the correct radio wires are hooked up to the correct wires on your factory harness. Hope this helps. Good luck with your radio installation.

    I’m trying to figure out if my 2005 Kia Sorento has an RCA port somewhere so I can play my ipod through the system. What info do I need to find the answer? Thanks.

    Heidi, most late model vehicles do not have rca inputs to feed an mp3 audio signal to your factory stereo. You would have to install bluetooth transmitter. A bluetooth transmitter will allow you to connect any bluetooth device to your factory radio. Here is the adapter you will need:

    Okay, this is gonna be a crazy one. I searched and searched for what the heck this thing is. I’m trying to install my girlfriend’s new car stereo in her ’94 KIA Sephia, but I got under the dash, and there is this 13-wire plug with crazy colors. The colors are almost the diagram for the ’98 KIA Sephia minus a couple. I’m missing Black (Ground) Light Green (RF-) and are replaced by three mystery wires of dark green/black, red/white, and solid blue.

    my car battery went flat, though its only 6mths old so i jump started it and now the radio power button wont even come on for me to tune it to the radio. though my 2003 kia spectra is driving fine i dont have the car manual, can anyone help please.

    Lisa, double check ALL your fuses using an Automotive Fuse Tester because certain vehicles may have a wire tied into another circuit not labeled as car radio. You may have additional fuse boxes by the driver side of the dash, passenger side of the dash, driver kick panel, passenger kick panel, under the steering column or under the hood. If all of your fuses are good, your 2003 Kia Spectra radio may be faulty. We suggest you take your car to an experienced audio installer or mechanic and have them troubleshoot your problem. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 2003 Kia Spectra stereo troubleshooting.
