23-226-AMP Interface for Kia Sportage 2010-2016 with Amplifier
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONNECT THE INTERFACE TO THE CAR UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE RADIO ARE MADE.
Please see overleaf for conenctions to the radio and how to reset the interface if it has already been connected to
the car.
PROGRAMMING THE INTERFACE
Start the vehicle
Connect the interface to the vehicle (three white connectors, right)
WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING.
The LED within the interface will flash red up to 18 times (this can be
seen without opening the interface) indicating what type of radio is
connected, and then turn off for a couple of seconds. Pay attention
to how many red flashes there are and make a note of it. This will
help in troubleshooting if the radio is not properly detected.
After a couple of seconds, the LED will turn solid red and the radio will shut down while the interface auto-detects
the vehicle. This should take between 5 and 30 seconds.
Once the vehicle has been auto detected by the interface the LED will turn solid green and the radio will turn on
indicating the programming is complete.
Test all functions before completing the installation and reassembling the dashboard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When initially connected, the red LED will flash 18 times depending on the brand of radio connected. If the radio is
incorrectly detected then this can be manually changed. Below is a table showing the brand of radio and
corresponding number of flashes:
If the LED flashes red 7 times and you don’t have an Alpine radio connected then it does not detect a radio
connected to it. Check that the 3.5mm jack or connections made with the 2 wires are secure. If the flashes are
otherwise incorrect then change the radio type manually:
NOTE: Resistive learning radios will need to be programmed via the radio and steering wheel controls won’t work
until this is completed.
To change the radio type, 3 seconds after turning the key on, press and hold the volume down button until the LED
on the interface glows solid.
Release the volume down button and the LED will go out, ready to change the radio type.
Press and hold volume up button until the LED glows solid and then release, repeat this until you have reached the
number of LED flashes for the radio that you have fitted. Once the desired number has been reached, press and hold
volume down until the LED glows solid, release and it will remain lit for 3 seconds while it stores the radio
information. Once the LED has turned off, test the steering wheel controls.
If the problem persists, reset the interface as detailed overleaf, disconnect it from the vehicle and start the
programming process again.
