FYI the List price was 2k, quoted on the KIA C&C website.

 

I had mine as a 'complimentary' at Kia when I bought the K3 SX

 

Could try calling the SE at Kia and get some advise from him.

 

Or call Tomo CSE for prices etc.

Just receive my K3 EX last two day.

Is all K3 come with factory fit audio head set?

Thinking to change the factory head unit to multimedia Unit which come with Bluetooth, but it seen the audio compartment may not fit to other multimedia Unit?

No problem bro ... can easily change the panel too to suit whichever HU you go for.

 

For lesser than 2k quoted for eurostyle i managed to upgrade my HU (with new panel) + reverse cam + all 4 speakers + underseat woofer

 

Still have bluetooth functions + able to mirror my android phone to HU screen for google maps or videos and still have link to steering wheel controls

Will the warranty be void if I change to Kenwood or other brands outside?

1st and foremost this is my personal opinion on this warranty issue ...

 

If simply changing HU or speakers will void warranty - then based on same logic, change tyres change rims should also void warranty. Like that change wiper oso must go back to C&C.

 

Don't make sense right?

 

Changing HU should not void overall car warranty - unless *touch wood* your car burst into flames 1 day and found out due to faulty wiring while upgrading your HU.

 

Other than that should be safe.

 

Again this is my personal opinion only. I trust you can figure out and decide for yourself.

I didn't upgrade the HU. Can the standard HU mirror android phone? I guess no?

The basic unit? I think cannot ar.

 

Share some of my wireless mirror mode below. Only use it to mirror google maps only now. Cos managed to finally convert and resize my videos and play from USB port.

Would like your opinion and also ask more than few questions about your new HU?

 

1) Is it the Eurostyle unit? Or is it another brand? Can share how much you paid for it? And where you got it fixed up?

 

2) Is your HU running Android Car?

 

3) Does the mirroring work with all apps on the phone? I suppose you still have to touch the phone to get the apps to work? The mirroring is just that right - images on the HU screen?

 

4) Does the HU interface lag? When you try to use its functions.

 

5) Are you aware if your HU accommodate in-car camera - like use the screen to view the videos?

 

6) How's Google Maps on the HU? I note that usually people use Google Maps on their phones in portrait orientation, but as the HU screen is landscape orientation, how does that affect how Google Maps operates and displays?

 

7) I assume the HU has an audio system? How's the quality of the audio processing?

 

8) Does the HU allow you to sort by albums or singers or whatever meta data for your music and videos if you play back from the USB drive? I assume your HU is connected to the car's USB drives.

 

Sorry for so many questions but I am also looking into something like this...

Bro i try answer u ...

 

1) Is it the Eurostyle unit? Or is it another brand? Can share how much you paid for it? And where you got it fixed up? - HU is Kenwood DDX7015 at $1050 (HU + panel + reverse cam) and got it fitted at Wee Heng auto at serangoon. Nice bunch of people there.

 

2) Is your HU running Android Car? - no idea what that is, so i'd say no

 

3) Does the mirroring work with all apps on the phone? I suppose you still have to touch the phone to get the apps to work? The mirroring is just that right - images on the HU screen? - So far it works with all apps on my android. I opt for wireless mirroring therefore whatever is on my phone is displayed on the screen. All controls to be done on the phone. If i had chosen for cable/wired mirroring option then will be able to perform "true mirroring" - you can control the phone and apps from the HU touchscreen. You can find demo video on youtube.

 

4) Does the HU interface lag? When you try to use its functions. - i assume you want to know if theres lag when mirrored. Very minor lag for me. Even tried mirror and run youtube videos - some lag if phone place in compartment where original usb are. But when placed at drinks compartment beside handbrake very minimal to no lag noticed. But this are due to wifi wireless connections. No Interface lags though during mirroring.

 

5) Are you aware if your HU accommodate in-car camera - like use the screen to view the videos? - only connected reverse cam. Not sure if able connect dashcam to it but there are 2 video outlets for the HU. Maybe possible - i'm not sure.

 

6) How's Google Maps on the HU? I note that usually people use Google Maps on their phones in portrait orientation, but as the HU screen is landscape orientation, how does that affect how Google Maps operates and displays? - if your phone is potrait orientation, HU will also be in potrait. As the term mirroring.

 

7) I assume the HU has an audio system? How's the quality of the audio processing? - not sure how to answer this. Quite alot of setting can be done on the HU, ontop of equaliser with wide range adjustment, bass control and woofer controls, can also do manual time delay if u like the audio from front(concert feel) or centre (more surround). But also have auto mode - i select to medium sedan and the time delay auto set. Adding to that my upgraded speakers and underseat woofer - i find for less than 2k i hv got a decent ICE. Tested even before connecting woofer and the bass was good enough actually. The woofer just makes it complete. Don't even need to reuse my old amplifier. The HU itself sufficient to support.

 

8) Does the HU allow you to sort by albums or singers or whatever meta data for your music and videos if you play back from the USB drive? I assume your HU is connected to the car's USB drives. - i do my sorting on the USB. But if remeber correctly can choose to further sort from HU via singer , album and if not wrong genre too. Need to check again. But all data must 1st be input into the mp3 or mp4 before adding to usb.

Bro some pics to help answer ur questions further.

 

When mirror google map at potrait - HU screen only 1/3 of it itilised and will be in middle. Set ur phone landscape to fully utilise HU screen.

 

Music selection can select from HU based on - artist / album / genre / song

 

Hope this helps.
