Re: How about an SL231 nav screen protector?
I also experienced this problem with mine; it's not the anti-glare feature per se, but rather the protective covering that was applied to the screen. The remainder was simply rinsed away with some quick glass. A tiny bit remains around the borders, but it appears to be much clearer now. If you wish ...

Re: Electronic Secure Key
Copilot may verify the accuracy of your vehicle identification number (VIN) with the use of your computer or mobile device; this has been verified by Kia support.

Electronic Secure Key
Hello everyone
Does my Kia Sportage GTS come with a digital key option? I've looked through the handbook, but I'm still confused. Apologies if this has been asked previously.

Re: Downloading Over-the-Air Updates via the Kia Connect Store For £76
The Kia dealership caters to ccNC machines. The 22nd Gen5W units appear to have been branded in the customary Kia fashion. Because they didn't proofread anything, they made a huge mistake. It also seems like the app never gets updated and tested.

Re: Downloading Over-the-Air Updates via the Kia Connect Store For £76
Because it does not have a defined meaning, the ASA should make it unlawful to use the word "lifetime" in advertisements.
The "Lifetime" according to Kia refers to the duration of your 7-year warranty. Not for the vehicle's lifespan, not even for the duration of your ownership of the vehicle

Re: Simple access and departure..
A function that was absent from my previous two vehicles—the new "auto setting"—allowed me to adjust my seat to a height of 5 feet, 10 inches.
Is there a potential for conflict between the two?

Simple access and departure..
The new E450d estate's quick entrance and exit setup has been giving me trouble.
For instance, you may set your driving position on Motorway 1. The seat barely travels around <1" backwards when I turn off the engine and unlock the driver's door.
When I got back in, I was hoping the seat would go ...

Re: Is it possible to modify the profile of my tyre?
Those identical JCW wheels up there are running 225 45 17. Optimum features include a more comfortable ride and a more defined arch. Drawbacks: when full lock, the fronts rub against the shock. My homework didn't turn this in, so I'm a little bummed about that. However, I think some 10mm spacers ...

Both hot and cold are bad, but cold is definitely worse.

Re: Gaseous OM642 emissions have an unpleasant aroma.
Not sure, maybe the past two weeks. The only "smell" I catch when I come to a stop during a regen is the increased heat from the over 600 degree DPF, not the exhaust, because I normally drive during these periods. It would surprise me if there were any leaks, but I will check.
