Customer Q&A

Q
Will this work for a 2015 Kia Optima with a Kenwood DDX9905S?
preston  Mar 20, 2018
1 answer
A
This interface will work in that vehicle as long as your Optima came without factory installed navigation and without the factory Infinity sound system. If you have one or both of those options, then I recommend contacting a advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 or using our online chat to get a recommendation on the wiring needed for your vehicle.

My 2015 Kia Optima has 5 buttons and 2 toggles for radio control on the steering wheel: mute, mode, answer, hang up, voice, volume up/down, and track up/down. What functions are retained with this adapter?
