Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between FXKA28K1 for 2015-2019 Sorento and FXKA26K2 for 2009-2012 Sorento?

A: These are completely different fascia kits for different Sorento generations. FXKA26K2 is designed for second generation Sorento (XM platform, 2009-2012) Dash 2 configuration, while FXKA28K1 is designed for third generation Sorento (UM platform, 2015-2019) with Dash 1 and Dash 2 standard configurations. The 2015 model year represents complete platform redesign with entirely different dashboard architecture making fascia kits non-interchangeable between generations. Note that 2013-2014 Sorento represents transition/mid-cycle period potentially requiring verification of compatibility. Both kits offer camera and USB retention reflecting increasing standardization of these features across generations, though specific integration requirements differ between platforms. Always verify your Sorento generation and model year—using incorrect generation fascia kit results in complete incompatibility and installation failure.

Q: What does "Dash 1 2 Standard" mean for compatibility?

A: "Dash 1 2 Standard" indicates this fascia kit accommodates both Dash 1 and Dash 2 dashboard configuration variations within standard audio system specifications found across Kia Sorento 2015-2019 trim levels. This universal compatibility eliminates need to determine specific Dash 1 versus Dash 2 variant simplifying parts selection. The "Standard" designation likely distinguishes this kit from potential premium configurations with amplified audio systems (if applicable for highest SXL trim with premium Infinity audio or similar). Most Sorento 2015-2019 models across L, LX, EX, and SX trim levels should use this standard fascia kit. If your Sorento has premium branded audio system (Infinity, Harman Kardon, or similar premium sound branding), verify compatibility or check if alternative fascia kit with amplifier retention exists for your specific configuration. Standard equipment Sorento models should use this FXKA28K1 kit.

Q: Will I lose any UVO system features when installing an aftermarket head unit?

A: When replacing factory UVO infotainment system with aftermarket head unit, some UVO-specific features integrated through factory system may be affected. This fascia kit preserves steering wheel controls, reverse camera, and USB port functionality maintaining critical interface and safety features. However, UVO-specific functions like integrated navigation (if factory equipped), vehicle settings accessible through UVO interface, remote UVO services (if equipped), and other infotainment-integrated features will be lost when factory head unit is removed. Modern aftermarket head units offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto providing smartphone-based navigation and connectivity potentially replacing some UVO functionality, though native UVO features requiring vehicle system integration may not be replicable. Basic Sorento models with simple UVO systems typically experience manageable feature loss, while higher specification models with extensive UVO integration may lose more functionality. Consider whether aftermarket benefits (larger display, updated connectivity) outweigh lost UVO features before proceeding.

Q: Can I use either a 9-inch or 10-inch head unit with this fascia kit?

A: Yes, this FXKA28K1 fascia kit accommodates both universal trapezoid 9-inch and 10-inch aftermarket head units providing flexibility in display size selection. The larger 10-inch format provides enhanced screen size for improved visibility of navigation maps, camera display, and multimedia content particularly beneficial in mid-size three-row SUV applications where increased display area enhances usability including rear passenger visibility, while 9-inch format represents established standard with broader head unit model availability. Ensure your chosen aftermarket head unit uses universal trapezoid format (not standard rectangular double-DIN) and verify specific dimensions match either 9-inch or 10-inch trapezoid specifications for proper fascia kit compatibility.

Q: Do I need any additional parts besides this fascia kit to install a head unit in my 2015-2019 Sorento?

A: This fascia kit includes comprehensive components for physical installation and feature retention (fascia panel, steering wheel control harness, camera retention adapter, USB adapter, radio antenna adapter) for Sorento models with Dash 1 and Dash 2 standard configurations. However, you may need additional components depending on your specific vehicle configuration: a vehicle-specific wiring harness adapter to connect the aftermarket head unit to factory wiring (if not included with your chosen head unit), and potentially advanced CANBUS interface for enhanced feature integration and vehicle system communication particularly for Sorento models with extensive UVO system integration. If your Sorento has premium audio system with amplifier (highest SXL trim potentially), verify this standard fascia kit compatibility or check if alternative kit with amplifier retention required. Consult with professional installers experienced with third generation Kia Sorento audio systems to determine complete requirements for your specific trim level and equipment configuration ensuring proper integration of all retained features and optimal functionality.
