We cannot hear our dvd player in our Kia sedona....Help please ????

Question

we have a kia sedona with dvd player. we have 2 wireless headphones, which work well but 3 kids. how do we get external sound , so that we can all hear it ?

Answer 1

Let me try to help you out here... Couple of options for you...

Not sure what year your Sedona but some newer vehicles have an option where you can purchase what we call an Auxiliary Interface Solution. In layman's terms, it gives your vehicle an additional input option for your mp3 player, cd changer,sat radio  and even your flip down video. To find this out, do a little research online about your Sedona and see if there is a company, such as USA Spec, Peripheral, ICE... that makes such interface. If you do find one, get with your local car audio store (support you local business) and see if they have what you're looking for. I also suggest, if you're not too familiar with installs, have the pros do the work for you.

Another way is thru FM Modulation. Its a simple unit that enables you to use a radio station of your choice and have the sound coming from your flip down feed thru that station and out your speakers for everyone to hear and enjoy. Simple? Yes! But its been said, although I haven't gone thru this yet, is that you may get a bit of static on the sound, pending on the weather, because you are using an FM station. Now again, I can't speak on this cause I haven't heard that much static. Although, it do make a lot of sense.

The cost... FM modualtion would run between $25-$50 and install, maybe around $45-$55. Aux Solution... cost around $75-$95. Install around $45-$55.

Good luck and hope this helps...
