I just traded in a 2022 Soul that had wireless Carplay and was shocked to find out the new 2023 Sportage SX Prestige did not have wireless Carplay. This is a huge disappointment as we like everything else about the Sportage. It has all the technology required for wireless Carplay but they didn't include it. I wonder if there is a licensing issue. Maybe they will offer it as an upgrade later. Wireless Carplay is a great convenience as you just get into your car and the system works without having to stop and make a connection. Even better with wireless charging! I hope Kia has a plan to offer this.
I was surprised by this as well. Just got a wireless plug in dongle that does the trick and let's me connect without a cable. Makes my big phone easier to drop in the wireless charging tray
Got my Sportage yesterday and already going on travel today - you saved me a LOOOOT of time with this video to figure out the key features before hitting the road! Great video! Thanks!!
Just bought a 2025 Kia Carnival SX. It did not come with HomeLink!!! Can I use the Carplay function to connect to the LiftMaster mQ app that controls remote operation of my garage door opener? Also, is there anyway to add a quick link to the Infotainment screen to directly link to this mQ app?
I just connected my iPhone to my new telluride 2023. I see my contacts but don’t have a favorite contact button on the telluride screen. How do you add it?
When you connect your phone to Kia sport Taj, if you scroll to get to settings then and a vehicle turn vehicle, is that how you disconnect your cell phone to the car or is it somewhere there Chempy?!
Thinking of getting the Sportage. Never had Carplay before for my iphone. Sucks that is had to be plugged in, but from what I saw in your video, and correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like I don't even need to use Carplay since the native infotainment has navigation, syncs my contacts and can receive text messages. Maybe a video comparing Carplay vs the native infotainment system in different cars can be a good idea.
I have a 2023 Kia EV6. The screen is significantly different. There is no phone button. Phone projection is not on the set up screen, you have to go through device connections. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t get CarPlay to show up on the car screen. My iPhone won’t show any available car.
Hi Christopher, I tried to play music from a flashdrive by plugging it in into the USB-port. It works but the music files seem to be stored folder-less. Unless I overlooked a thing, I did not find a way to climb up in tree system. It just picked the first folder and start playing that music. Thanks a lot, Alex - Switzerland.
I plugged in my thumb drive and my audio book started right away. when I stopped I just tapped the button to turn off. when i started the car again, the usb was not reconized, I had to reinsert. am I suppose to take it out each time I turn off the car?
In 2018 kia sportage there was a plug in apple car play, but i foud it’s solution by entering dev mode and changing carplay config(after that it worked wireless). So may be there is a solution for 2022 model too?
Does the radio display (like the little light bulb looking thing) only show like that on the higher trim? I have the EX and my radio screen doesn’t look like that :(
I just purchased the Kia forte 2023 how do you delete the voice memos and is there a reason the volume control to go to the next song is flipped from my 2020 optima can I change that?
I paired my MP4 player as the default bluetooth item. Now when I click on media, all I see is AM radio and FM radio. It doesn't show the player as an option. The rest are shown but no available. This forces me to to go to setup and click a dozen buttons to get it to play. What am I doing wrong.
Is anyone able to confirm - can this top trim with the larger screen, stream audio via bluetooth if you choose not to hardwire connect your phone (to carplay)? As in, not using carplay but still stream bluetooth audio?
My salesman has his email in my car i just bought. I got rid of his profile but his email is still in the connect. I registered my car on website and it shows he is connected still . I contacted him to remove himself from my connect system. No reply yet.
Has anyone lost connection from the Kia access app and your Kia? Here’s my latest video where I show how I got it fixed. ruclips.net/video/WMXRdjnTVqc/видео.htmlsi=AVo9dBPl0AmaJHhW
What I meant by my comment is I’d rather use Kia’s navigation because of the display but I can’t because it never understands me. Obviously if I type it but when I’m driving; it always replies “sorry I can’t understand you”.

Thanks for watching we will have to let Kia know to bring the wireless CarPlay back
I read this is something they are hoping to resolve in the future. Yes. A licensing issue.
@@carsunlocked I agree. I traded my 2022 for a 2023 Niro and was surprised it didn't have the wireless CarPlay
Does the navigation have voice commands like Google Maps or Waze in multiple language? :)

Yes, we use apple carplay with usb on the apple phone and Bluetooth on other andoid phone at the same time)

For the Apple Car Play, would I need to keep my phone plugged in the whole time to use the CarPlay? Or can I unplug it once I connect it?
it depends on your car some of the newer models are wireless apple car play
how to connect via wireless apple carplay?
