2011 Kia Sorento Radio Issue

I ran across your post while reading about other 2011 Sorento problems. There were several suggestions about "resetting" the radio. Look on the front panel of the radio for a small hole (supposed to be near the upper right corner). If you find one, straighten out a paper clip, and while the radio is on, press the button under the hole. The radio should turn off, and then reboot (like a computer). If this works, the settings will need to be reset, but it may fix your problem. Worth a try.

I have a 2011 Sorrento. My radio went out last week. 6/07/2019. We've checked the fuses. I undid the car battery (it made my altenator light stay on for 3 days)Removed the radio, no fuse behind it. Reconnected. Stll nothing. Found a replacement radio but has a GPS where as mine does not. Thank goodness I did not buy it. Kia said it will not work in my car. It requires new harness at $2000 and rewiring engine wires, another $2000. If I replace with original radio, Kia sells for $2700. I am leary if buying a used radio from strangers for fear it would have same issue as mine. Going to a dealer to upgrade will cost me $1500+ to update. Never in my life have I been disappointed in a Kia product or shocjed at tge highway robbery Kia is pulling, untill now. If they know their product is bad, they should do a recall. I know no one who can afford to replace their radios at these prices.

I agree so pissed off about my radio and I can not explain how disappointed I am over the same issue... working one day and next morning went to start the vehicle on and no radio now it goes on and off when it pleases. Ugghh
