[@tylerlester4028]

This video is years old- but in case anyone cares, there are two pressure clips up on the top end of the face unit that interact lock in to where the air vents pull out. There are also two thin slits where a flathead can be used for leverage running along the bottom of the faceplate, just out of view. These aren’t really mentioned here, so there you go.

[@yourmother9246]

Super helpful thank you so much!!!

[@notandymarty]

The knobs on my A/C panel were loose. The kia service center quoted me $500 to replace the whole darn thing! Thanks for this video, now I can just access the panel myself for an easy fix.

[@CerealBait]

Fantastic video. Came here for AC control removal and you were straight to the point and have the info I needed.

[@mikeleclair7572]

Perfect, thank you. Radio in my 11 forte died, replacement will be here in the next few hours. Had this open while removing the unit. Thanks for the guide!

[@AL-cn9wp]

Did replacing the radio fix the problem? My unit died and won't turn on. Replaced fuses and reset battery. Still nothing.

[@mominx2412]

Informative, short and too the point. Perfect. thank you.

[@paulharris4724]

The dude below me is right about separating the face place from the vents....I can see where it would be easy to do. Otherwise, with a steak knife and then a butter knife, I was able to get it off. This video was spot on! Thanks guys!!

[@zrh1618]

God bless you for sharing the instructions and knowledge for this. Tips for others, when trying to yank the whole thing off, it may help to use the pry tool and leverage it out from the bottom as well. Mine seem to be stuck to the bottom and this helped me.

[@tkjarrard]

I was looking for a video that showed me how to get the the AC/Heater controls. You just saved me a ton of time! Thanks!

[@hasssamhanif92]

Do have the same problem that the blower is working but the other controls for direction and climate and inside air circulation was not working?

[@tkjarrard]

@@hasssamhanif92 I think so, but I'm not positive, that was a few years ago. Sorry

[@hasssamhanif92]

@@tkjarrard what was the solution to it? I am facing the same problem

[@tkjarrard]

@@hasssamhanif92 I got new controls and replaced them. if I remember correctly, it was pretty easy to do. I don't remember where I got the replacement from

[@stephaniejenkins3913]

I'm having problem and it's almost 90 degrees in California. Does anyone know what tool or where to but it hes using to pry it open with?

[@GearItFirst]

Well done instructional. Thanks for sharing!

[@iishlaneblazeii]

The video was very helpfula as well as the comments because that unit was a mess to open, my fingers hated it, but now i have a radio that works!, thank you!

[@monkeman311]

Thanks for the help!

[@agentorangephotography216c4]

Thank you very much I work at a used auto parts yard and I couldn't figure this one out LOL

[@ericalexander5890]

Attention: if you get to the step where you have to pull the radio and plastic cover off, and you think there's no way you can:. Just pull. VERY hard. There are several clips like the ones on the air vents you removed. One each on the outside of the fan & temp controls, and one below each of those controls. There may be a couple others, but that's why it requires so much force to pull the entire unit out. Good luck!

[@Erulilum]

I know this video is ancient but thank you so much. The video made it look like it was supposed to pop out with no effort and I was scared of snapping something, I did break a clip on one of the air vents just before 😭Yanked hard on the console like you said and it came out no problem in one piece. Thank you!

[@mikefromusa6902]

This is true

[@socalsalas2983]

[@luciferundead666]

thanks!

[@martiniquesmommy]

Thanks for this video!!!! Saved me $$$$! It would cost starting at $60 to do what you just showed in the video!

[@mikefromusa6902]

Be careful not to separate the facia of the vent from the actual vent. There is glue securing everything. This video makes it look much easier than it really is. Be careful when applying force. Plugging in the new stereo is the easy part.

[@bestbomb17]

Michael Alvaro exactly what I did

[@ericalexander5890]

Michael Alvaro I did just that. But I got it snapped back together okay, so it doesn't seem like too much of an issue if it happens to others.

[@alikzar4256]

thank you so much " i have a same car and the radio not work and i don't know what should I do?

[@undermasroof]

Is there a fuse on the back of the radio? My radio stopped working and fuses are fine. I have a steal rod that further behind my radio that is extremely hot to touch and I think it may have melted all the wires that are right in front of it.

[@IrishDrunkGaming]

This will surely be helping me soon since my radio is making snapping noises *Also can you buy a custom radio for this model? I know the Dash portion is one piece idk how it all installs new buttons and radio can’t find nothing on it

[@jeremydallen]

You REALLY have to yank on the unit after it is unplugged and screwed to get it out. I thought for sure i was going to break it.

[@ericalexander5890]

jeremy allen Jeremy, thanks for the comment. I came to the comments to check on this very thing. I'm a very strong guy, and I am yanking on that sucker but it doesn't wanna come out, and I'm afraid I'm gonna pull the engine right through the dash! I guess I'll have to give it more force. Again, thanks for leaving the comment. I'm going to yard on the MF now (and I know damn well I'm going to break something!).

[@alyssamaldonado4966]

A good tip for this is to use the removal tool (I used a flathead screwdriver lmao) and wedge it in at the top and bottom corners and pry it off slightly, then try again. I'm kind of weak so this helped me a lot 😅

[@veeshan2856]

@@alyssamaldonado4966 great tip, this just helped me today on a 2010

[@driveventures7445]

I tried doing this exact same way you did in the video and that dadgum thing is not coming out, what are the options on prying it?

[@rolteo]

Yes 4 screws... but ir doesn't loose in the center of the fascia :(

[@charleshuntington2010]

Any idea where I would be able to find the clips that hold the dash kit in place? I broke off some of them when trying to pull out the stereo. Thanks!

[@ericmurray3705]

Maybe try a pick and pull?

[@ericalexander5890]

Thanks for the video. Also cool is your voice, sounds like a narrator for CIA instructional films from the 70s . You should look into doing some voiceover work!

[@theoklahomagirl24ify]

Eric Alexander mine did it either

[@hizfiz]

The clips or keys that you push down to release them broke now the wires are stuck into the port wtf do I do????

[@jessicanelson5843]

What do I do if the radio still won't come out following the steps? It's as if it's glued in there

[@gavinpickens8671]

so if I put a aftermarket radio I will need a dash kit to put my ac controls in. well that sounds fun.

[@dtaPacman]

When I did my corolla I disconnected the negative battery to avoid risking blow a fuse. Why you would have the car actually turned on for this task is beyond me. Don't have it turned on. Even if there is some security code thing just having the battery connected is enough to stop it resetting.

Do not just pull your radio out when you’ve removed the 4 screws holding it in place. I was following the video and when I gave it a slight tug after removing the screws my entire plastic frame splintered.

I'm having the same problem. An electric problem that affect the A/C controls too. Here in Dominican Republic, the official Kia dealer is charging me around US$2,000 for a new radio. That's crazy!

[@user-qx7jl8rn4r]

They make me sick. My climate controls still work thankfully. I was told to check the fuse on the radio itself.

[@user-qx7jl8rn4r]

2000 ain't right. Did you check all the fuses?

[@josehgarciad]

Not yet. Apparently it's a breakdown voltage in the radio. Could it be related with the fuses?
