The harness to connect the camera didn't match with the camera color wires. Remove the 4 screws of the main trunk door cladding and pull it to remove it completely. Unscrew the single screws from both small lateral covers and remove them. To access the trunk connector, remove the plastic cover of the central brake light, first. The Female housing is the ref TE Connectivity 1376103-1 with contacts ref 1674742-1 or 1376109-1 The contact 3 of the B connector has to be connected to the cable "Back" of the 2DIN, to trigger the screen while the reverse is engaged. 6 to 7 Volts must be applied to the contact 3 and the 15 has to be grounded. The Video RCA wires have to be connected to the contacts 13 (Video -) and 1 (Video +) of the Connector C. I do not know why, but almost all genuine OEM backup cameras, are working under 6-7 Volts (my former Qashqai, Toyota etc. The camera can not be connected directly to 12V. The voltage at contact 3 of the connector C, of the LG unit is only 6 to 6,7V.

The sound level is lower than with the LG Navi (Corrected by setting the equalizer of the system). Once the PIN 22 is correctly connected to the power (remote antenna) all is working fine: Volume, Fader, Balance. Thanks to the after sales service of the online store, we find out where the issue came from: the SPDIF case was not powered. I checked the connections before power the 2DIN and modified the wiring, according the pinout of my car (see above).īe careful, because Kia does not use the same connection diagrams for Asia, America or Europe. I ordered the headunit with specific connectors for my Sportage and an additional harness with DIN connectors to use it with the Connects2 case, for backup solution purpose. I was a little afraid of the 9 " screen size, but you get used quickly. I found a 2DIN, at Shenzhen Infidini Technology, with a small plastic surface, that reduce the contrast with the car dashboard. (Open the picture above in a new window to zoom in or click on the link below) They are not matching without modifications Unfortunately, the Chinese universal 2DIN size are 176x102 mm and European Bezel 178x100mm. Then I looked for universal 2DIN models with plastic bezel.Īfter my long readings on several forums, the Alpine and Audison Bezels would fit the best in my Sportage in light gray color. The color was unfortunately black or dark gray. The color of the plastic should be closer to my dashboard.įirst, I looked for a conventional 2DIN headunit for Sportage. I wanted a 2 DIN headunit Quad Core with a good FM reception. You do not need any other SPIDF converters.

Speaking to the software engineer the 007.2 is the correct interface. Even if the manufacturer does not clearly specify it on its website, the interface incorporates a analogue to digital converter. Sportage modele before 2014 need to use the interface Connects2 005.2 et after 2014 the Connects2 007.2 case.

His work has been a great basis for my installation. To my knowledge only one user of the forum-kia-sportage managed a similar installation, with a Connects2 interface and in a Sportage model before year 2014. It communicates with the amplifier by the mean of CAN protocol and the sound is transmitted digitally in SPDIF standard. The purpose of the installation is to replace the radio Sportage 2014, with the Infinity audio system by an Android 2DIN and only the headunit. Before starting, I would like to highlight certain vehicle features and therefore its audio system.
