Kia Sorento CarPlay installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Kia Sorento generation we see: XM (2010–2015): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the radio slot; on cars with the 7-inch navigation a CarPlay interface on the original screen is sometimes possible and we check by reg; UM (2015–2020): 2015–2018 cars with the 7-inch navigation and no CarPlay get the Sorento-specific Android screen; 2018 and later facelift cars with the 8-inch navigation usually have wired CarPlay already and take a wireless adapter; MQ4 (2020 on): Factory CarPlay and Android Auto on every MQ4; cars with the 10.25-inch navigation get a wireless adapter, the 8-inch display audio and the 2024 facelift are already wireless. From €250 incl. VAT. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

Answers for Sorento owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppDoes my Sorento have CarPlay already?
Every MQ4 from 2020 has it from the factory, and 2018–2020 UM facelift cars with the 8-inch navigation usually do too; on those the job is a wireless adapter. 2015–2017 UM cars with the 7-inch navigation and every XM do not, so they get the Android screen. Send the reg and we check which navigation your car has.
How much does CarPlay cost on a Kia Sorento?
It depends on the generation. XM (2010–2015): not available; UM (2015–2020): from €290; MQ4 (2020 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

How long does CarPlay take on a Kia Sorento?
XM: two to four hours; UM: two to three hours; MQ4: two to three hours. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Sorento in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Kia Sorento?
XM: the Radio with a small display and Bluetooth on most cars; 7-inch touchscreen navigation on the top trims, no CarPlay and its controls stay; the box sits behind the trim and is switched from the factory buttons. UM: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. MQ4: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Kia Sorento, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (XM, UM and MQ4) 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.
