Vehicle-specific 9-inch Nakamichi Android head unit delivering wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and built-in GPS navigation for the Kia Picanto 2011-2017, with steering wheel control compatibility and NK 13.0 Android operating system on 4GB RAM and 64GB storage for a complete factory-style multimedia upgrade.
Product Overview
The Nakamichi NA9KIAPICANTO20112017 is a purpose-built Android multimedia receiver designed specifically for the Kia Picanto 2011-2017, combining wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and built-in GPS navigation in a vehicle-matched 9-inch IPS touchscreen package. Running on the NK 13.0 Android operating system with 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage, the unit delivers smooth, responsive performance across navigation, streaming, and communication apps.
Wireless Apple CarPlay enables hands-free iPhone integration for Maps, calls, messages, and music directly on the 9-inch display without cables. Wireless Android Auto provides the same cable-free experience for compatible Android smartphones, with wired connection available for specific phone brands. Built-in GPS with preloaded map data provides navigation capability independently of smartphone connection, with the option to update or purchase preferred map data from the Google Play Store.
Bluetooth 5.0 supports hands-free calling and audio streaming, while the FM/AM tuner, 4 x 50W output, 4V pre-outputs, and subwoofer output ensure strong audio performance for both factory and upgraded speaker systems. The unit is compatible with factory steering wheel controls, and the included camera cable supports reverse camera integration for enhanced safety.
Note: Factory USB on the Kia Picanto 2011-2017 works with music and video playback only and is not compatible with CarPlay or Android Auto — use the dedicated 4-pin USB for PhoneLink (CarPlay/Android Auto) connection. A compatible harness is included; contact F.A.E. with your dash photo, vehicle year, and model at time of purchase to ensure the correct harness is dispatched.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the factory USB not work with CarPlay or Android Auto?
A: The factory USB port on the Kia Picanto 2011-2017 is designed for music and video playback only and does not support the data protocols required for CarPlay or Android Auto. For CarPlay and Android Auto, use the dedicated 4-pin USB PhoneLink port on the Nakamichi unit. Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also available for compatible devices without any USB connection required.
Q: How do I ensure I receive the correct harness for my vehicle?
A: At time of purchase, send F.A.E. a photo of your dashboard along with your vehicle year and model. This allows the correct vehicle-specific harness to be identified and dispatched with your order. Different Kia Picanto variants may require different harness configurations, so confirming your dash configuration before dispatch ensures a correct fit.
Q: Is wireless Android Auto available on all Android smartphones?
A: Wireless Android Auto is available on compatible Android smartphones meeting Google's requirements. For specific phone brands that do not support wireless connection, wired Android Auto via the 4-pin USB PhoneLink port is available as an alternative. Check Google's Android Auto compatibility requirements for your specific device if unsure.
Q: Can I connect an external amplifier or subwoofer to this unit?
A: Yes. The NA9KIAPICANTO20112017 features 4V pre-outputs and a dedicated subwoofer output, providing clean line-level signal for connection to an external amplifier or powered subwoofer. The amplifier control output (AMP_POW) can be used to trigger an external amplifier. The included RCA cable supports this connection.
Q: Does this unit support reverse camera integration?
A: Yes. The unit includes a reverse camera video input and a camera cable is included in the package. A compatible aftermarket reverse camera such as the Pioneer ND-BC8 can be connected for reverse camera display on the 9-inch screen. The unit automatically switches to camera view when reverse gear is engaged.
