there is a inline fuse be hine the radio . you need to change that one . you should not have to take the radio out reach up fine the wires that go to the radio follow them from the radio you should be able to feel the fuse in the wiring . anyway that is why the radio don't work ......
Kia Sorento, 2011. One day I turned on my car and there was NO audio. Not from the radio, CD, navigation or call assist. I checked all the fuses but they were all good. Then I found the reset button on the front (next to the Sirius Radio Dog, top left), pushed it with the tip of a pen and it turned everything off...then reset. Then the audio was back! It's only been 1 day but so far so good. Hope it never happens again.
I have Sorento 2011. Two months ago the sound on radio, CD, navigation or call assist all packed up. Kia engineer told me that I need a new radio unit which would cost me £2733.84. one of the back street mechanic told me to disconnect battery for a few minutes then reconnect it the radio was reset and working. It saved me a lot of money. My advice is try this and it may just need resetting as a mobile phone.

I have the 2010 kia forte ex and same issues my radio and USB aren't working I changed fuses unplugged the battery for awhile even got it recharged and still nada no power no sound everything works perfectly but those two maybe yall know
2007 Kia Sportage EX - battery was jumped with reverse polarity and radio quit ... found fuse in passenger compartment panel blown (10A, marked "AV", bottom center of panel) radio then functioned normally ;)
The reset button thing worked awesome. ..I don't know what happened but I am so glad it was fixed.
I have a 2012 kia sorento that for whatever reason the radio just periodically stops working? It'll then come on and stop working again... like someone is shutting off the power. Fuses are all good? Anyone have this problem before and what's the fix?
I have a 2013 CEED estate - not fuse so disconnected the battery for 2 minutes, reconnected - and it worked - great!

2012 Kia serento replaced module , battery, alternator now radio doesn’t work. All fuse are good. Saw a Vedio where it says to look at fuse labeled module and that was good. I’m stumped any idea. Also I looked for a reset button saw none. Disconnected battery waited then hooked back up still not working
2011 Kia Sorento. About Audio. Suddenly no more sound, however the display worked, Bluetooth connection as well. As advised here above, I checked the fuses, and disconnected the battery for 2m. After this everything worked back perfectly. Thanks to you all!
I have 2013 Kia Sorento ,radio wont work, never has worked ,strIghtfrom i. Ant find the reset buttonto try to try . Does anyone know where it is?
Where’s the reset button on my 2013 Sorento
the 2013 kia sorento radio is not working at all
2013 Sorento Radio - Anyone else had this issue,My wife said the radio would not come on the other day. She tried turning it on and off several times to no avail. After her 2nd job in the afternoon, it started working again and has been good since. She told em that it was replaced for issues way back when she bought it. Strange. Thanks. Matt
I have a 2011 Kia sorento and when I cut my car off and take the keys out I can't manually lock the doors what's the problem
I have a 2009 sorento, odd time the Aftermarket radio,clock and dash lights go out all at once. It’ll come back on it a short while eventually. All random times. This has been a consistent problem since I’ve had the car and even when I had the factory radio it was an issue. Changed the radio, Checked all the fuses and no problems there. No one seems to know what the issue is at the dealer.
well I'll damned! I disconnected the battery, waited 2 minutes, reconnected and the radio works! Local shop wanted $55/hour to diagnose and the KIA dealership wanted $125/hour. However I could not find a reset button anywhere. (Sorento 2013)

Check your 15A “Module” fuse. https://youtu.be/dcPnv2BR7yc
As another person mentioned already, the 15A "module" fuse on the inside fuse panel (right by your left knee as you're driving) was the source of this problem on my 2013 Sorento LX UVO head unit. I pulled it out and it tested fine. When I reinserted the fuse, the head unit power returned. So either the fuse had worked itself loose or the head unit needed a hard power cycle. All better now.

I have a KIA Forte 2018. That car battery went and I had a boost. Now I have no radio or back screen. I checked all the fuse, and tried reset button. Still nothing. Lost of hope, need help plz!
2013 Kia Sorento the radio would not come on when I started the car. I unhooked the battery for a couple minutes re connected it and fired it up and had radio again.

I have a 2015 Sedona with the same issue. For those looking for a reset button - it is a tiny hole that appears to be no bigger in diameter than a paper clip wire. Use a pen point (or paper clip) to reset it. I almost missed it because it was so tiny and just above the e services button. This worked for me.

check your fuses.....they may LOOK good but still be no good.....the 15A "module" fuse on the inside fuse panel (right by your left knee as you're driving) was bad without looking bad. Radio came on after replacing fuse.
