Why Doesn’t Android Auto o r Apple CarPlay Work Reliably in My Kia Grand Carnival?

I’ve heard there are software updates available for the Kia Grand Carnival’s infotainment system that improve performance and compatibility. However, I’m not sure how o r where to get these updates in Pakistan. Can owners update the system themselves, o r is it only done through Kia dealerships? Any help from someone who has successfully updated in Pakistan would be appreciated.

While precise details for Pakistan aren’t widely documented, here’s the general procedure:

Through the infotainment system: Navigate to Home → All Apps → System Update. If an update is available, you should be able to download and install it directly from the car interface

At the dealership: Kia is preparing a free update to address wireless CarPlay out—including for the Carnival

Steps for owners:

Check the car’s current firmware version in settings.

Visit your local Kia dealership o r service center and ask about availability of infotainment updates. They may need to apply the update via USB o r over-the-air, depending on availability.

If self-updating is possible, ensure you have a stable connection and do not turn off the car mid-installation.
