In this video, see how to upgrade your Kia Optima by installing an Android radio in place of the factory unit: you can find the suggested device from the YouTuber on ustopdisplay.com by searching for "android for Kia Optima 2-32 gb", priced at £399.00; shipping costs are not provided.

Start by removing the side trim of the dashboard, then the top part of the glove compartment interior, the chrome trim of the dashboard, and the right side of the centre console.

Remove the two central air vents, the radio trim, and at this point, you can take out the old unit. Disconnect the connectors and attach them to the new one, which you will place in the slot.

Refit the air vents, the chrome trim, and test the functionality of the device. You can finish the job; all is well!
