Thank you very much for your video. I have just ordered a Kia Niro Hybrid and have to wait for it. Delivery time frame 40 weeks 😩 so enough time to study your instructions 😉
You're welcome... wild about the wait time on it though! What color did you end up going for?
@@CarsWithSteve We choose Aurora Black Pearl. The Kia Niro is a very popular car in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 so perhaps that is the reason of the long delivery time.
Nice color choice! Location does play a factor but I was just looking at sales numbers and I'm thinking it's because of the popularity of the model. Do you find there are more hybrids or full EVs there?
Really helpful video . Answered so many of my questions . Have only had the car a week , but even the salesman didn't have your extent of knowledge and I've been struggling to find good relevant info. Thanks very much from Australia.
Glad the video helped Herman, great that the videos were able to help someone on the other side of the world! Did you notice many differences between this model and your AU one?
@@CarsWithSteve I'm still getting to grips with the myriad of options !! So far ,however, the vehicles are the same other then mine being a RHD .
RHD is a blast here. A buddy used to have an R32 Skyline and it always turned heads here. I have a few more videos on the tech in the Niro you should check out too

Brilliant video and straight to the point....
Thanks Geoff!
very helpful video covered everything Thank you
You're welcome!
Excellent information
Thanks!
Great review
Thanks!
would you happen to know what fob the Niro Hybrid 2023 spec 3 brings as i want to order a fob cover but i stil dont have car.Thanks
It should be the regular Kia Smart Key. Part number 95440-AT000
is there a possibility to see during the navigation system is working, the hight abvove sea-level?
I don't believe there's a height above sea level display in Kia infotainment systems
Really helpful video, Can I ask a question?
Your introduction mentioned that when connecting to a mobile phone, you can choose to play audio alone. Does this mean that when Bluetooth is connected or Android Auto is connected, the APPS ringtone can still be sounded through the mobile phone?
In fact, I just want to listen to SPOTIFY, but I want the notification ringtones of other APPS from the phone.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks!
Usually when you're connected over Bluetooth you would get a ringtone with incoming calls but it would be a ringtone set through the screen of the truck and not a custom one you might have on your phone. If the phone is connected over bluetooth it'll play all incoming sounds.. unfortunately can't select which ones you do and don't want playing
Steve... great video. There are significant differences with the wind ev. Can you review the infotainment on the non-premium?
Thanks
Roscoe
Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for a Niro with that smaller screen instead
Steve
It's the same size!!!!
Thanks for the reply
BTW, I've had my car for a week and the i-pedal doesn't work
Hmm.. for the i-pedal, are you pressing the left paddle while in drive until it hits i-pedal? Does the system just not let you select it at all?
@@CarsWithSteve exactly... it will not pop up... I've got appointment with kia on Thursday. They can contact experts at kia central that I can not
Yeah that's a weird one. Wiring or module maybe 🤷
Just curious but how does the standard speakers sound please?
Here's a full review of the Niro where I do an audio test: th-cam.com/video/W-GZ0HBQF0E/w-d-xo.html
The standard speakers are typically ok enough for most people but the upgraded system is for people who appreciate deeper base and slightly better sound
Is there ANY way, to project my iPhone display to the screen? Same screen as this video. ie:Watch a video
No way that I know of. The screen doesn't support video playback from the factory and Android Auto and CarPlay don't support playback yet
Does this has built in camera function?
Unfortunately not..
For Navigation, do you know which map does Kia use on their system? Is it TomTom? HereMaps? OpenStreet?
It's Hyundai AutoEver which I'm pretty sure is their own proprietary map system
@@CarsWithSteve If you got the big screen, as far as I know, it's TomTom. Our car dealer told us that's why it doesn't have wireless Android Auto. Because of restrictions from TomTom, but if it's true, I don't know?
@@Martin_Level47 it's not true. it's because their system can't handle wireless charging and wireless carplay/android auto at the same time due to certain restrictions they have with their infotainment.
Nothing to do with which map provider it is.
I have the Niro 2022 and I would love to know how can I use wireless carplay with iPhone???
If it's this screen there's unfortunately no way to use wireless CarPlay or Android Auto.. only a USB connection
For google map, does it always have to be connected with usb cable or possible to use Bluetooth without cable?
If you want to use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay in the Niro you have to be connected over USB unfortunately
@@CarsWithSteveah-ha! That’s why mine did not sync Google map on my Niro screen! Thanks!
The last software update allows wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto connectivity.
@@xavierandreumas2332 en el mio no sale
How? I got my kira niro and cant find wireless option anywhere@@xavierandreumas2332
Hello, does apple carplay work with the cable inserted? excellent video
Hey, you'd need to have a USB cable connected for CarPlay and Android Auto to work. If it's not working, you can try to delete the phone connection from the phone and the phone connection from the vehicle. On the iPhone go to Settings --> General --> CarPlay and delete your vehicle. Then reconnect.
If that doesn't work, replace the USB cable with one that supports data transfer
@@CarsWithSteve thank you very much. I'm waiting for my Niro to arrive and I currently have a Kia Soul. In the Soul I don't need to connect a USB cable, it automatically takes over CarPlay 😔. What a shame, I really wish I didn't need to connect my phone via USB to access CarPlay. thank you and a hug
I appreciate this video, but in our Kia Niro we just bought the map doesn't work. It won't let me use the voice option to get directions while I'm driving, I have to pull over and stop the car to get directions. It also wouldn't work with my iPhone, it kept telling me I had to download a different map program. So I can type in a destination on my phone, but the map app on this screen doesn't show what is on my phone at all. Is this a typical problem?
Hmm that's odd.. Never had an iPhone telling me to download a different map program. So you're connected through CarPlay by connecting a USB cable and it won't let you use navigation at all?
is it not possible to connect to apple carplay using a usb-c cable?
Pretty sure the USB-C ports in the Niro are for charging only. You'd need a USB-a cable to use CarPlay or Android auto
Hello sir i would really appreciate if you reply to my answer
I’ve got a kia 2023 hybird
But it dosnt have kia connect installed on it my question is can i get it installed from somewhere?
What trim level do you have?
@@CarsWithSteve what does that mean?
@@CarsWithSteve The Niro EV '2'
Trim levels would be Wind or Wave for the Niro EV 2023 models.. Hybrid is LX, EX, SX etc. Either way if your Kia has this larger 10.25" screen you should have the Kia Connect option there under Setup. But Kia Connect is region specific so depending on where you are in the world it may not be available
Steve, why can’t we connect Apple car play with the usbc cord instead of usb?
Might be because there’s no data connection. Does your Niro have the data symbol next to it or is it just a charging icon? If it’s a data icon and it won’t connect it might be the usb cable that needs to be replaced with an Apple Original
Why would you offer wireless android auto on the cheaper system, i dont get it
I know right? I'm hoping that be continually calling attention to it, they'll eventually fix it haha
Hola gracias por el vídeo, tengo Kia niro y no me detecta carplay con iPhone 15 pro
De nada! Debes estar conectado por USB para usar CarPlay con esta pantalla. Intente usar un cable USB-A a Lightning con el ícono de datos
@@CarsWithSteve gracias por responder, el problema es que el iphone 15 pro solo es usb tipo C
Oh, es cierto. Consigue un cable de datos USB-C a USB tipo A. Al puerto USB-C no le gusta funcionar para la transferencia de datos en algunos vehículos
@@CarsWithSteve cierto, he probado varios cables y no me lo detecta. Seguire probando
Acabas de usar cables USB-C o USB-C a USB-A? Pocas cosas más para probar...
1. Reinicio de pantalla. Hay un pequeño agujero con un botón entre el control de volumen y el botón Mapa justo debajo de la pantalla. Presione eso y la pantalla debería reiniciarse.
2. Elimine la conexión telefónica del vehículo y la conexión del vehículo de su teléfono. Luego, en tu iPhone, ve a Configuración --> General --> CarPlay y si tu auto está allí, elimínalo. Reconectar a través de USB
I can't connect CarPlay. Says that i need certified usb cable. I am using original Iphone cable so I don't understand whats the issue. Its an original usb a cable
Hmm.. the cable would usually be something that I would recommend. If you have a spare USB cable give that a try but if the car isn't recognizing any USB cables there could be a wiring issue in the USB port
Plug your cable into the middle connection - the USB connect, not the USB charge…
Honestly, how I known it, was this archaic to connect an Apple phone to my new Kia I wouldn’t have bought it. Even the last model was so much simpler 😢
Yeah it is a bit odd that it’s not wireless but at least it supports CarPlay and Android Auto
@@CarsWithSteve I totally hear you however, I’ve just had to spend an extra $50 on cable to connect. my iPhone 15 to this car as the Apple C- type charger does not support this.. 😳
Yeah that's frustrating for sure. I've found a lot of manufacturers only have the usb-a port for data with usb-c for charging only which is odd. But I also had a car years ago where the usb port would only charge and wouldn't let me transfer data at all
Sometimes when I connect my phone via charge cord to the KIA, I don't get the Apple Car Play on the screen.....all the others are there but not Car Play. Why does that happen?
Is the wire frayed or still in good shape? CarPlay typically doesn't auto play but once you're connected over USB it should pull up your Setup screen. Is that not the case for yours? On your iPhone under Settings --> General --> CarPlay is it toggled on or off? If it's off that means CarPlay won't work when the screen is locked.
If you toggle that on and it still doesn't work then delete the vehicle connection from the phone's bluetooth settings and the phone connection from the vehicle, then reconnect
Why can’t I connect without the usb
The screen doesn't support wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.. You can connect over bluetooth for phone calls/audio but Android Auto and CarPlay need USB to work
How do you set up Android auto bro how do you set it up
I show how to do it in this video.. As long as it's on your phone, connect over USB and it should pop up. If it doesn't, then remove the phone connection from your vehicle and the vehicle connection from your phone's bluetooth and then reconnect over USB. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to replace the USB cable with one that supports data transfer
@@CarsWithSteve yeah cuz the explanation on the video is more for Apple connect I want to know how to connect Android auto I have a regular Android phone and I want to connect it to my Kia Niro 2023
@@CarsWithSteve yeah cuz once I connect the USB cable it says this device is not compatible or something like that but the thing is that I already had it connected to another Kia Niro and it worked perfectly
Weird.. what phone are you using?
@@CarsWithSteve so basically what happened was that when I was connecting my charger to my phone it wasn't giving me the option of transport files so basically I noticed that little bar then I pressed it and I went from charging phone to transport files and then it started working correctly cuz usually it pops up in my big screen on my phone and it basically charge phone transfer files and I'll transfer the files but for some reason I was plugging it in and it wasn't giving me that option but basically I press like the battery button and it said transport files charge phone and I pressed it and it did it worked perfectly but thank you for everything
So I learned from this that CarPlay is superior to android auto
For most features it really is.. I like how Android Auto maps are pinch to zoom instead of the arrow keys but otherwise I find CarPlay is a better setup right now
That's stupid u need a USB and can't connect with type c. So stupid
Just a little bit. There are some 2024+ models that have wireless CarPlay/Android Auto now but the tech won't be backwards compatible
Excellent information
Thanks Peter!
