The UVO (powered by Microsoft) radio is described in a 100 page manual that includes "Tone allows you to make changes to the Treble, Middle and Bass settings. The control is just fine on FM but there is zero control in the AM band. The dealer said KIA had to do that (and he called it a feature) to keep people from "blowing the speakers". I went to another KIA dealer and the first time there they said they replaced the radio. No difference in sound. I returned to that dealer and their solution was to listen to other Sorento radios and because there was no tone control on them either, there is nothing that can be done about it. One of their techs even told me I should listen to FM instead. DUH!!! The programs I listen to are not on FM. A radio in a vehicle costing over $40,000 should have a better radio than one that sounds like a 1940 radio. I went to Walmart and bought a $29. boom box and it had better sound.
