You need to enter the security radio code! If you do not have this you can request it from this link: Radio Codes United Kingdom Gumtree

    Not all Kia radios use a security code. In fact, many do not. This would only be helpful to a small group of people.

    PsyintZ, I am not trying to help any group small or otherwise, In actual fact my answer was only for Chris Williams 2013 Kia that does require a radio code after the battery died, being in the car audio trade for the past 30 years I have come across many makes of car radios including Kia and many more than a small group of people would require radio codes as nearly every modern car audio system will have a security code!

SOURCE: Radio Anti-Theft turned on.

i had the same vehicle and my code was 8040. What really bothered me was this car was sooooo cheap, the stereo was cheap, the whole integrity of the car is cheap, however they have an anti theft on the stereo. ha ha lol! Don't spend any money trying to figure it out, either pick up a new stereo or give the car away!

SOURCE: Engine turns over but wont start

Check the cam sensor and crankshaft sensor. If either of these are defective the engine will not start or may start intermittenly.

Check the main power fuse that goes to the alternator output. if the alternator went out it could have burnt this fuse also.

I have a 2013 Kia Soul. I installed an aftermarket radio and now it won't power on. I checked the speakers and Amp and radio. All work. But when I plug into harness it won't power on.

No, you can't normally do that because the radio is controlled and monitored by the Body Control Module (BCM) on a 5 volt computer network..

Program key fob for kia soul 2013

To program the key fob, follow these steps:
1. Pop open the hood - locate diagnostic plus - remove the cap behind the battery on the driver's side of the engine
2. Now you need to expose about ½ inch bare copper by striping the 22 gauge wire
3. Put one end of the wire into number 6 port of the diagnostic connector
4. Connect the other end of the wire to the battery (positive terminal)
5. Get inside the car - put in key - switch it to ON position
6. Press and hold the lock button on the remote for three seconds, and let go
7. If done right, the dashboard lights will go off - now switch off the car, then test the remote

I have a 2010 kia soul with a radio that won't turn on. No display, no sound and wont turn on at all. Totally dead radio. Is there anything I can check on my end before having to go to the dealer?

You can check the fuse for the radio. Also some radios have a security feature and only a code can make it work again. It is usually found on the glove compartment. Check owners manual of the car. A 5 digit code.
