How to Perform a Hard Reset on a Kia/Hyundai Car Radio?

Model: Kia KIA Various
Part: Warning light – error code

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to perform a hard reset on a Kia/Hyundai car radio, restoring it to factory settings. This operation is necessary when too many changes have been made to the device, making it impossible to return to the initial settings without damaging the unit.

From the options, select the last one, which is "default". You will need to initialise the system by entering the software version code (last 4 digits) using the invisible keyboard highlighted in the video. A keyboard will appear, and you must enter the current time plus your software version (again, the last 4 digits).

Now scroll down and choose the "Factory Reset" option. Press "send" and allow the system time to restart.
