AVN pinout needed

Hi,

The best I may be able to do is provide the wiring schematic. I'm not sure if the pinout is going to be listed for this.

However, I need more information based on the vehicle. Even though I see the model/part number, I need to confirm which model it came from.

If you look below, I attached the options I am seeing. Let me know which matches what you have.

Take care,

Joe

See pic below.

These are the OE connectors; I think yours is the second two images tagged as head unit 4.0 as that one used the amp and navigation. What is the issue you are having?

They have a few for the 18 depending on which vehicle it came from; they used the same connections as the 16 on the entry level trims but these look to match the connections you have, and these are the up-level units. I would probably make an adapter harness if possible before you do any cutting. 16 and up can use some strange protocols for the audio systems depending on what else is run through the system due to the integration of all the computer data. Wouldn't you want to get it all installed and discover that tuning the stations because the headlights to flash or touching the nav button causes the windows to roll down! LOL

Keep us in the loop as to what you find. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

Those are usually used for things like navigation and anti-theft as well as memory functions and things like chimes and warning signals. I see them in the display connector so it's possible they use that as a pass through to the later head unit. Hard to say without having the internal schematics of the units. It's one of the things that makes installing stereo gear into newer vehicles "interesting". For instance, GM used the stereo for the seat and mirror memory storage as well as the chimes and as part of the controls to program other options. To install another system, you have to mount the factory system someplace else (in the trunk or under the seat are common) to retain those functions as connecting aftermarket units to the CAN would brick the vehicle!

It could be different, or it may be that Kia has gotten a bit smarter than the others and doesn't put everything in one part for the controls. I'm glad not everyone thinks the ideal solution is making the entire dash out of an iPad! Just think how much fun some of these modern vehicles will be when the cutting-edge technology they use starts to fail. It's hard getting something like a starter motor rebuilt, getting that stuff repaired in 10 years is going to be real fun.
