In today's video, we will see how to reset the radio in a Kia Sportage. This tutorial also applies to other models from the Korean manufacturer that have the same unit.

First, try the direct reset; use a pointed object, such as a pin, to press the hidden button above the power button. If that is not sufficient, proceed by disconnecting the connectors from the fuse box. In the third step, try disconnecting the service battery.

If these operations are not sufficient, it is likely that the radio will need to be removed.
