So today changed out my Kia radio that was in my Kia Forte 2020. Seems my country brought in the low spec model at the time.

This is the old radio:

I changed it out to the touch screen that usually comes with the Kia Forte 2020 models but since changing it out I am getting a "Battery Discharge Warning" on the touch screen radio itself. Please see below:

I am aware that this is displayed when the engine is off but it also comes up every 10-15 mins while driving. Could this be the device malfunctioning? Had no battery issues before this and am not currently having any, just adding that part. I also notice the date and time has a blank icon like this: --:-- and when I click it I get "GPS Antenna Open" Message:

Any one has any idea what is happening? Also to add, yes I have tried resetting the radio.

The battery discharge warning is to let you know that playing your radio while the car is not running will drain your battery. To address the 'GPS antenna open' message and the blank date/time pull the media 15 amp fuse (see below) and let the car sit for 30 minutes and then replace the fuse. This should reset your radio, GPS antenna and date/time functions.
