Aux, USB and iPod®
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has an AUX and/or USB
(universal serial bus) port, you can use
an AUX port to connect audio devices
and an USB port to plug in an USB and

rately. Connectivity may require use of
the Kia accessory cable.
When using a portable audio device con-
nected to the power outlet, noise may

How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then received by the radio and sent to
your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal com-
ing to your vehicle may not be strong and
clear. This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.
