Seeking Advice on Audio and Navigation System Troubles in 2022 Kia Seltos

Hey! I've got a 2022 Kia Seltos (Gasoline engine with 58261 KM on it) that's giving me some audio troubles. My sound system is completely kaput and my navigation system's MIA too. Had a less than stellar experience with a mechanic last time, so trying to figure out if anyone has had a similar issue here and what their local mechanic did to fix it. Staring at the likelihood that it might be an audio system limitation problem. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Kia Seltos owner is experiencing issues with both the audio and navigation systems, suspecting a potential audio system limitation problem. A similar case with a 2019 Kia Sportage revealed that the issue was due to a wiring problem, which was resolved by rewiring the audio and navigation systems. The suggested solution is to consult a mechanic specializing in car electrical systems, as it might be a minor wiring issue rather than a costly system replacement.

Hey! Sounds like you've got some audio gremlins going on there! Your issue hits close to home. I know this because I had a similar issue on my 2019 Kia Sportage a while ago. My bass speaker was acting up in the weirdest way. One day it was fine, the next, nada. Took it to my garage and turns out, it wasn't the audio system limitation problem or anything like that. It was a wiring issue! Not to freak you out but it was indeed a bit of a pickle. My mechanic ended up rewiring the whole audio system, including the bass speaker and even the navigation system. Once done, all the sounds came back alive and kicking! Fingers crossed, it could be the same issue for your Seltos. Just a word of advice, go to a mechanic who specializes in electrical systems in cars. It might be just a minor wiring problem but you just need the right professional to address it. Cheers and good luck!

Hey there! Wow, a wiring problem huh? That’s a bit of a curveball but good to know. I was thinking it was some high-tech audio system issue that's gonna break the bank. Nothing worse than a silent road trip, right? Do you happen to remember what the damage was money-wise? And, since the fix, have you come across any other issues with the sound or navigation system? Fingers crossed it's just a one off. Thanks. Cheers!

Hey! Yeah, you wouldn't believe it, right? But sometimes it's the simplest solutions that work. My audio issue had me scratching my head too until I visited the mechanic. After that, everything got back to normal. Oh, for the money part, it was around 280.00 €. Not exactly pennies, but better than buying a new system outright. It was mainly for sorting out that stubborn bass speaker. Since then, my tunes have been playing loud and clear without any hitches, and the navigation system hasn't thrown any tantrums either. I know this is not fun stuff, but calling a pro can save you a lot of heartache in the long run. Hope this helps let's keep the good vibes (and the music!) going. Cheers!

Hey there, That's so reassuring to know! It feels like a weight off. 280.00 € is a bit of a sting, but you're right, it beats having to shell out on a new audio system entirely. I'm glad your car's working well though. It definitely gives me a bit of hope. I'm definitely looking for a mechanic who specializes in electrical systems right away. Guess it's time to bite the bullet and cross my fingers hoping my tunes start playing again soon. Really appreciate your advice and help. You're a star! Fingers crossed and hopefully I'll have my music back for the next road trip. Stay groovy!
