KIA Spectra 2007 Car Stereo Swap

This video shows the removal the the bezel on the 2007 KIA Spectra.
I needed a bluetooth stereo because the factory radio only has a AUX in port. The iPhone 7 doesn't have a earphone jack.

Thank you for making this! I'm going to be doing this on my 2008 spectra and like to see someone else do it first. Saves me a lot of frustration.

[@mjbop1]

I added links to the things I purchased from Amazon.

mjbop1 what was this called?

[@gordo3di]

@7:13 This close camera first person action is intense! I'm like is it gonna go in? Haha thx for the vid though. I'm going to install mine this weekend. Follow up... Getting that wiring harness from the kia to whatever radio was totally worth the $10 or whatever. Made install much easier and just headache free. I highly suggest getting it! Thx again.

I’m about to replace the stereo in my Kia Spectra (aka Cerato here in Australia). Thank you for sharing this video. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@ذيبالبادية-خ3س]

thx bro I have 2007 spectra like you here in iraq I had learne from you the way to replace my stereo thanks

[@TheBorgCollective]

Love the video. Work on the camera angles and it's a masterpiece ;) Seriously thanks for doing this. Had no idea how to get that bezel off and I didn't want to mess anything up!

[@Duddie82]

I have a 2008 kia Spectra and plan on installing a double din radio. On the bezel, you could have removed the plugs that was preventing you from moving it very much. it would have been better, and when I install any radio, I don't push the radio in and bolt it down before powering it on after the wires have been connected, just to make sure it works. Its a pain if something went wrong, Have to Remove fix then back in. You lucked out it worked.

[@NateNoShlong]

Scott C I don’t know why he didn’t test it first lmao

[@ares3677]

yo man yours was the best video ive seen it really helped out alot

[@zaqwertyfish]

Just what I was looking for... Thanks guys

[@izmaortiz3347]

you did not show where to plug the wires back on. you showed it after the fact. but i find this very interesting. i still can see what it would look like. thank you

[@justinroberts2542]

I’m not seeing the links to all the items you purchased off of Amazon.

[@jessiecastille2338]

I failed to say, what you are calling a ground, is most likely for the auxiliary plug on your car, The one you said, no longer works.

[@frontlinedolla1815]

Thank you for the video 🤟🏾

[@franklinsalcedo6340]

Thank you very much

[@bennyhurtado4946]

U can use a Dongler (iPhone 7 and up adapter)

[@bownutz76]

Thanks is for the video. My daughter has the same car and I was wondering if you know how to disable the 2M security scanning system so it will start with just the key? Thanks in advance

[@mjbop1]

bownutz76 sorry but no.

[@patrickcarrillo714]

Seems like your bracket went in like a glove mine had to do a lot of modifications to get it in

[@h0m1ess]

respect man, that looked factory perfect after it was all said and done

[@michaelblaisdell703]

Thanks! It was a cool project...

[@_dmfd]

I have a 2008 Spectra5. Next to your clock above the radio where that little R is, what does that do? My spectra5 doesn't have one of those

[@612murderapolis]

Where did you buy that bracket and what is it named brand wise?

[@toddcoello6461]

On the factory harness what is the blue and blue and white wire are?

[@NateNoShlong]

PLEASE HELP my after market radio is turning on but I’m not getting any sound in my 2006 Kia spectra. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the amp cord that was connected to the stock speaker

[@tsomaa3126]

Currently having a similar issue, did you ever find a solution

[@isaacwhitney3850]

You could have taken the plugs out of the face so you can get it in easier

[@Hutch0ff]

Do you have a link for the wiring diagram?

[@jamesbailey150]

Did the usb work?

[@King.jr33]

I can tell they never done a radio how they act

[@ccb.8603]

I have that same car

[@isaacasante31]

Kia spectra lift back tape and dashboard

[@norsevikingsir4932]

Trim and panel tools are literally cheaper than dirt

[@jordandandridge8302]

[@frontlinedolla1815]

That radio fits the car trash 🗑 😂

[@nrmon3106]

What happened to the ground cable? Do i put my cars ground cable connection with the adapter ground connection?

[@Duddie82]

That was not a ground cable, I think it was the aux plug wire that he showed no longer works when he connects his radio.

[@chiefdenis]

It's a ground, the aux wire is on the main harness

[@troubleddragon698]

Thanks man I really appreciate it!!!!!

[@mjbop1]

TroubledDragon69 cool!!! Please sub I need to get 1000

[@troubleddragon698]

mjbop1 I sure did bro

[@JoseLopez-fj6mm]

Hello, there was an extra orange cable and extra 2 blue cables. The blue one that says "power antena" has a cap on it. But if you read the extra blue cable it doesnt have a tag. But on the actual wire it says "power antena" as well. What should i do with these cables?

[@mjbop1]

Jose Valdivia sorry but I don’t remember.

[@Duddie82]

if you ever install an AMP to bring out more sound, then you use that blue Power Antenna wire to use as the wake up for your Amp. If you never want to add an amp, then don't use it.

[@kalani1987]

Just cap it off if you dont need it. Not every wire is applicable.
