Any shop owners here that can help me?

Post by Chiapet »

So I have this 2014 kia soul.
it has the upgraded infinity system in it.
it has auto climate control.
climate control data is shown ON the infinity AVN system.
If i remove the inifinty sytem to install a Pioneer 8100 NEX im not so sure my climate controls will work.

looking online I cant even find a damn wiring harness adapter for it.

im at wits end. trying to find a wiring harness diagram for the pioneer is impossible lol
trying to decipher what wires are going from my climate controls to the damn inifinty head unit is about impossible.

i was thinking of downgrading to the manual controls, but the wiring schematic for that is drastically different then the auto one.

ive seen what LOOKS like an auto control climate unit that is self contained, but its only a diagram and i havent seen the actual unit anywhere.

im about at wits end trying to figure out how the hell im gonna install ANY aftermarket head unit with this vehicle.

I have type B, i can find type A anywhere.

I would greatly appreciate it. I think the unit im looking for, is one that you would get if you special ordered a soul without the navigation but with auto climate controls.

kia says nothing plug n play for the heater control, the only way to swap it out is to seperate wiring, and pin match to the control then fab a mount.

i would look into other options sir.
