How do you turn off the red light camera warning?

My “red light camera ahead” warning is disruptive and not always correct. How do I disable it?

Setup > Navigation > Alerts > Camera alerts with navigation muted > None

Hopefully this will work. I always have my navigation muted anyway and I don’t have any cameras in my area, either, so I can’t confirm 100%, but I can’t find anything else that seems like it would help.

Has anyone else figured this out? I’ve set the “Camera alerts with navigation muted” to None, but I’m still getting all the alerts, and it’s driving me crazy. On certain stretches of road, it’s almost constantly interrupting the music to give me those alerts.

I have the same issue with “traffic light ahead” or “red light camera ahead” I have turned all options off. I am fairly certain this is a circuit board glitch.

Did you ever solve this? Still dealing with the same issue, and the dealer hasn’t been able to figure it out either

Hey did you work it out?

Not sure if anyone else has worked it out, but I still haven't solved it

Have you tried updating your head unit yet?

Official Kia Navigation Update Website

Welcome to the official Kia Navigation update website. You can update your navigation system to the latest version to access the latest traffic information

update.kia.com

Just remember to check out the changelog on the Kia update site, or read through these threads to know what updating entails. (purple theme, no 3 widget home screen)

April 2021 Infotainment Update?

I’ve heard rumors that Kia will update its infotainment firmware this month. Anyone have any details? I haven’t even received my Telly yet and I’m dreading the purple layout and even more dreadful and childish looking radio screen with the vacuum tubes. The three screen layout and nice XM screen...

14.10 update (November 2020) now available

If you’re ready for some UI changes, the Nov 2020 map update is out today (for those with the 10.25” screen). update.kia.com It has the neon-style look (like the K5 and other recent Kias) and a new home Screen.

I can’t try myself because I’m nowhere near any cameras to test, but I offered this recommendation to someone in the Carnival group on the Facebook and they said it worked.

Go to setup > sound > guidance > guidance volumes (or maybe setup > sound > system volumes > subsystem volumes, depending on software version). There, try turning “navigation sound effects” and/or “alerts” down to zero.

Then go past your offending places and see if it works. Hopefully it does!

Where does anyone see “None” or “Muted”? I have an EX and it shows: Alerts/Camera Alert Distance…. That is the ONLY option? And when selecting it I can only choose distances. No way to shut this insanity off?!?!

I am having the same issue with my brand new Kia 5 2021. I have had the dealer "experts" go into setup and mute it...but it still goes off...this has to be a defect or programming issue in the car. The feature is there to turn it off...but it doesn't work. Is someone at Kia working on this software glich?

Sincerely,

Michael M

Same issue with my K5 2021 can't turn it off no matter if I mute it or not. this has to be a glich.

Well, everyone, for the first time this weekend I drove my Telluride past a red light camera. The little stoplight icon popped up on my map, but no sounds. Why? I have my navigation voice and sound effects muted.

I tried turning on the voice only, and the lady will announce the camera.

I tried turning on alerts only, and I got the ding-dong alert.

Again, turn both off, no audible alert.

Of course, this requires you to not have the navigation voice guidance. But for people who run across this day to day, quick and easy fix. Doesn’t matter to me because I never have my navigation talk to me even when I am actually navigating.

Again, the correct setup if you want no audible alert:

Thanks for the suggestion, I’m hoping this works for me.

For some reason my settings menu looks different than yours, and doesn’t have separate options for Voice and Sound Effect. Maybe I’m in the wrong menu somehow?

Looks like you’re on an older version of the infotainment system. Hopefully what you did will do the trick for your version. If not, you may need to dig in to sound settings.
