Premium Sound

Anyone know why I don't see anything of the advanced audio settings like QuantumLogic and Centrpoint etc. on my 2025 Kia Sportage Prestige Plug in Hybrid?

You're right that your 2025 Sportage Prestige Plug-in Hybrid should have the Harman Kardon premium audio system. That system is a signature feature of the Prestige trim, and it should include the advanced sound settings like QuantumLogic and Clari-Fi. The fact that you're not seeing them is a bit strange, but it's likely a software issue or a matter of where you're looking in the menu. The user manual for the infotainment system confirms that these settings are available on equipped models.

The most common way to find them is to go to the main menu, then to the Setup menu, and then to Sound. Once you're in the sound menu, you should see an option for Premium Sound or a similar setting that will allow you to access the advanced sound features.

If you've tried this and the settings are still not there, it's possible that there is a software bug. A simple soft reset of the infotainment system might fix it. You can usually do this by pressing and holding the reset button on the head unit for about 10 seconds. The reset button is usually a small pinhole that you can press with a paperclip.

If that doesn't work, you should take it to a dealership. It could be a software issue that needs to be fixed with an update. Or maybe a firmware update. The dealership can check for these updates for the infotainment system. It's a very common issue for a lot of modern cars. The software is very complex, and sometimes a simple glitch can cause a lot of problems.
