Which Kia Rio years can have subwoofer?
JB, built 2005–2011 (CD radio with no screen; Bluetooth on very few cars): Compact under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the CD radio, tuned in the car; boot space stays usable. UB, built 2011–2017 (Radio with a small display, Bluetooth and USB on most cars; 7-inch touchscreen navigation on the top trim only, without CarPlay): Compact under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the Radio, tuned in the car; boot space stays usable.

How long does subwoofer take on a Kia Rio?
About half a day on the Kia Rio JB, UB and YB. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit subwoofer on a Kia Rio?
On every Rio we work on — JB, UB and YB — the factory head unit stays; the amplifier takes its signal from the car and under-seat woofers leave the boot free.
Do I need to book subwoofer for my Kia Rio, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (JB, UB and YB) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
