Modify stock GPS (Kia)

[Nonewid]

Finally can start a new thread!

 

My car comes with the stock GPS (from KIA) - the one with a screen popping up at the centre of the dashboard .. understand from them tat if wanna update map, must pay $85.

Was wondering whether I can change a GPS (which still continues to use the screen.. if not it's quite strange to have a blank screen there). Also is it possible for me to connect any other devices to the screen (think in-car video recorder) as it seems like it has a few 'channels'.

 

Any bros who knows anywhere tat i can do this, please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance!

install reverse parkng camera?

[Nonewid]

oh.. it comes with reverse parking camera already actually.

I was thinking more of prolly linking the in-car video recorder to it.. and whether i can replace the GPS with another brand.

 

Dun wanna spend $85 everytime to update it.

I don't think you can use the same screen even if you managed to find another GPS device. As far as I know, the only reputable audio/video player in the market that can use Garmin GPS maps, including the free MSM and MFM maps, is Kenwood. I can't confirm but I heard Pioneer sets are able to too.
