I have the 2016 base model so I don't have a navigation system on my car and I have been looking for one and really am no expert and I don't have that much knowledge

if anyone knows or tried to replace or install a Navi system please guide me

thanks.

Wait, are you trying to install an OEM/factory GPS system into your car? I think you'd be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better off just getting a Garmin or something. That's going to take a lot of wiring and probably be really technical. Those are usually programmed to your car's VIN too. Honestly other than cleanliness I don't think you're doing yourself any justice here.

Actually I’m not into the factory navigation system they don’t even install it in cars that dont have a navigation already, I contacted our local kia services center to ask about it but they don’t install it anyways

Why'd you get the base model if you wanted a clean looking NAV? Honestly, as stated, an external unit like a Garmin is your best bet, but of course that will clutter your dash area.

I didnt know the 16's didnt come with Nav

Most major cities have companies that specialize in installing new sound systems .Often when I see their adds they also mention GPS .Also you could talk to Best Buy they might be able to steer ( pun intended) to someone .. Good luck, As an aside my 2016 has the Nav but my model in Canada was the premium ( top) and Nav was standard equipment . If you have Iphone or Android Google maps will get you anywhere and they are always updated along with traffic. Good luck and keep us abreast

I wasn't aware this car could come without nav honestly, thinking back on it now. But I do know they started to take off certain pieces of "standard" equipment from our cars and changed the packages up really bad starting in '16. I could never get the car I have now with all the features without getting a Limited. Honestly, '14s are the best

to clarify, I think that the model I bought was the cheapest as it was priced at 69000 AED = 18,784$ with 5 years warranty and first year free insurance

I also didn't know there were any markets that you could get this car for under $30k. Interesting. This does clarify however that it is not a US/Can model, so that's probably why none of us knew any of this info.

I found an Android headunit that may work for you on AliExpress, I'll post a link - I have no direct knowledge of it, just found it while browsing Ali.

Ill contact them after this weekend to ask about the Climate control feature, pricey but maybe worth it

That one looks interesting. Here's the one I found, not sure if you have this style of center console stack or not:
