Car stereo, key remote to unlock and lights of the inside

Well my sportage was sitting for week because it needed some new tires so eventually I did put them on. But then when I wanted to start the truck up it didn't want to turn also when I turn the key the alarm came on. I did it couple's times but on the last try I turn the key and push the remote key as same time it finally turn on but afterwards my stereo and the light inside didn't come on I push the reset button on still nothing came on I even look at the fuses all of them and they were all good I just don't know what it is

Also called keyless entry, remote starter, or key fob, this device connects with a car and triggers it to turn on. A remote car unlocker's functions vary based on brand and price. Typically, you can unlock, lock, start, stop, heat, cool, or defrost your vehicle remotely with this device. https://www.surveyzop.com/talktowendys/ https://www.surveyzop.com/restaurant-s…

Radio stops working after you crank the car ?

Kia Sportage 2010 Suv 157096 miles
So radio works fine as long as the key is turned to on position and the car isn't actually running. But as soon as u crank it up the radio screen goes blank , into off mode, and won't turn on and do anything. Everything else electrical seems to be working fine. No dim lights. However , one head lights goes out periodically. I do not know for sure that there is any relation between the two...

Radio seems to short circuit while driving.

Kia Sportage 2012  138000 miles
When my Kia Sportage is warmed up my radio seems to short circuit while driving whether in hit bumps or not. If I press on the radio console the sound keeps working. If I don't press on the console or slap the dashboard above it it's silent.

Radio interference with engine running

Kia Sportage 2015 DIESEL ESTATE (SPORTAGE CRDI KX-3 SAT NAV) 27000 miles
Recently my car battery went flat after an interior light was left on. Battery was charged and car starts ok, but since then I've had an issue with my radio and bluetooth. They work fine when the engine isn't running, however when I attempt to start the car the radio goes off and then comes back but I can only hear static on all channels and can't connect anything to the bluetooth. When I switch the engine off and turn the radio back on it is fine again. Grateful on any guidance how to fix this issue!!

This happened to me. They needed to put shims between the connection and the post on the battery.
