  • Kia Rio Navigation and Software

    Hello dear forum, I’m new here, so forgive me if I do something wrong. I have been driving a Kia Rio Edition 7 BJ. 2014 with Navi and Rearview camera since Saturday. My questions: How do I see which version I have on it? How do I know if this is the latest version I have on it? (For navi, Bluetooth and etc. ) Can I install the software myself? If yes how? If any of you know about spotify, someone of you will tell if it is possible from the car to the I always have to take my cell phone in my hand and switch from my cell phone to the playlist. Change song in front of and back from the car without any problems. I would like to thank you very much and ask you for your patience.

  • Change of V-belts

    Kia Picanto Key Numbers: 8253 / AAP BJ. 2010 I just bought the V-belt (4PK675) and would like to change it myself tomorrow. Now I only need a short instruction. Seems not so difficult to see. A screw right next to the belt is good to see. I guess that’s the tensioner. So remove this old belt, new one on it and put the screw on again. How far do I have to use the n Belts tension or tension themselves etc.? What do I have to bear in mind? Is there a torque or something? LG Alex

  • New Rio (4.Gen) – Details

    Good morning together. There is no price list yet and no (pdf) brochure yet… so I opened this thread. So as a collector for all detail topics, prices, equipment, etc. I start with… – What do you think this beautiful leather equipment will also be available with us? Or only in America…? -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9bSR7z1g4g from 1:58 and 2:10 – There are two gear levers, the square seems to be for the five-speed variant. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=RN2TyAlyeRM from 0:51 … the round then probably for the six-speed variant, but you can’t really see that. -> https://data.motor-talk.de/…/kia-rio388-5427201890055163054.jpg – Kia has the best hostesses – in the league used to be just Alfa. That’s what the Koreans looked at Alfa, as well as the color of their four-wheeled models. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP-mRpTbpbU -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN2TyAlyeRM

  • Apple Car Play – what can it do, what can’t!?

    Servus together, I created this post to get an exchange about Apple Car Play. Since I – like some others – have not received the Stinger yet, we are dependent on the “old foxes” who drive the Stinger already (you lucky ones). Well, as the subject already asks: what can Car Play, what can not? What are you using it for? What is there to improve!? Thank you!

  • MY2019: Manual choice of driving level

    One of the often mentioned criticisms is that there is no “manual alley” in the circuit. I had to play around a bit on a longer motorway stage today (at first unconsciously, then I became curious). I think the car (model year 2019, according to dealers all the updates recorded) in SPORT (and SPORT+) seems to stay on manual once you have treated it with the seesaws until you either stand (almost) or pull the selector lever again after “D”. Whether this is also the case with C omfort and Eco is true, I don’t know yet. Can and would like to “reveal” someone or have I “discovered” something that is known for a long time? CnD

  • Kia Stinger seating position

    In the press it is written that the seat position was moved down by 4,5cm compared to the Optima. The driver sits 18cm above the asphalt. This probably means a large headroom for slightly larger people in front…

  • Ambient lighting for footroom front and rear

    Hello together, since I absolutely wanted Ambiente lighting in the Stinger, I want to show you what I have installed in the Stinger. Ambiente lighting via app controlled in the footrooms so front and back.https://autolight24.de/…/…euchtung-stripe-rgb-app-steuerung.html The wiring is hidden under middle console. For almost 3months I have it inside and works perfectly. You could do without the rear lighting. I hope you like that Momo

  • Stinger value maintenance and second-hand market

    At the moment I drive a Lexus IS-F and I have nothing to expose myself to. Unfortunately, I lived in the moment and didn’t look very far into the future and now that I want to continue my professional education but that would have to pay for myself because distance studies are the maintenance costs of Lexus already a brummer. Ultimately, I have already initiated a change to a Hyundai i30N fastback which gives me more space for my personal vehicle exchange. In the search for alternatives for the IS-F I also looked for the Stinger because it is in the same vehicle class, is cheaper in the maintenance and I always had a little interest in it and I was very surprised. There are already those that go away for less than 40,000€ as for example here or here. They are only about 1 1/2 old. That means in a few years Stinger could be almost incomprehensible bargains if you have the 7 years manufacturer But that also seems to mean that the concerns that some had when the car came out were probably appropriate in terms of maintaining value. That is ~30% value loss if you start from the EIA.

  • Autogas for the Stinger

    Greetings dear car community, so I got a Stinger 3.3 T-GDI and would like to retrofit a gas system now. I have made a request with 3 suppliers and with Zavoli, as well as with Prins no conversion for the Stinger is offered. (I forgot about the third one) I know many of you will want to start a discussion about gas systems now. Before we start, I would like to know if someone has already upgraded? If yes, which system, where, how much cost?
