I’m a Kia technician and I have never even heard of this or needed it. However there’s really never many issues with the head units besides updates every now then. Usually when they go they’re out of warranty and end up getting replaced with aftermarket units elsewhere.
Worked on my 19 Forte. Totally pointless as a consumer, though. Maybe it is beneficial to a dealership but there is nothing you can enable or disable through this menu.
Just because you can't find a use for something, doesn't mean others don't. All this info you get in the secret menu is probably useful for people who work on their cars.
Does not work on 2017 Kia Forte S. I know the real work around, if anyone is interested. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off seatbelt chime in my 17' Forte

Yea but it would be kinda hard to do a after market u it with a display that comes out the dash I think
I got the gt line and it didn’t have satellite radio is there any way to add it
How do you update the unit ?
I work for a dealership and I don't know if we ever need to pop this open unless it's in service or something
This is an awesome little trick! However, I tried it exactly how you did it on my 2019 Kia Forte and it did not work. :(
I just got kia forte gt limited 2021 would this also work
How do you get the updates? I’m assuming the dealer has to do it?

My kia forte don't have tpms ...do you think they can install it..i think the program for tpms is hidden too..
Did you find a way to install the TPMS ?
mine doesn't have too and I were thinking Of I can add and program them
I wonder if this would work on a 2019 Elantra sport
Is sirius xm on the 2021 kia forte fe?? I don't see it...
only on the GT and EX trim level
Can I go for force update without inserting usb drive
How to save the video or music on the Kia Forte screen?
Tell me when u find out
excuse me, with this like you do it, could i play or see a video in the screen
What the pw for 2022 forte premium
Awesome!
Very useful trick. Thanks for sharing!
Works on my 2018 Picanto
This doesn't really do much, maybe I am missing something. There is nothing you can unlock or enable.
What's the point of this, exactly?
This has no benefit at all, Seems rhetorical to even do this, I mean, What could you possibly get out of doing this?
