You cannot enter the radio code on a 2005 Kia Sportage if the screen is blank. You have to fix the screen.
How do you fix the screen?
The radio has failed and needs replaced.

Look on the radio dashboard for the numbers 1-4 as buttons. Press each twice in sequential order until a code flashes on the screen. The number displayed may read 1111. Find the volume control then press SEL. The display should read Good. Contact the dealership if this doesn't work.
Turn your ignition swith to on position,turn your radio on,code should appear on the screen of your radio. After code appears,enter first digit of your code. wait for first digit to flash. Then enter second digit,wait for flash,Then enter third digit,wait for flash. Then enter fourth digit, wait for flash. Then push * on your radio to except the code.
anytime the radio loses power the code given to you at time of purchase will need to be entered to restore the radio. Or it could also be the alarm system. I had the same problem. I had to buy a new radio (CD player) worked perfect afterwards.
Code is 1 1 1 1. Enter the numbers using the radio selection push buttons. First buton is 1st number, 2nd button is 2nd number, 3rd button is 3rd number, 4th button is 4th number. One push of the first button will enter a 1 (2 pushes a 2,etc.) So...just push the 4 side by side butoons 1 time each and the code 1111 will enter on the screen. Then push the volume button and you are all done.
Look in owners manual
