The 12-volt battery is a disposable component; when it ultimately fails, it may be easily replaced.

Indeed, the vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel. We are thoroughly enjoying the vehicle. We hope to avoid the undesirable battery problems.

A late first-generation Excel is a reasonable option; however, does it still include the heated steering wheel, given that the Excel specification lost this feature during the production phase-out period?

Greetings, everyone. Thank you for the responses. Indeed, it is a late-generation one. I conducted a test drive of a new Generation 2, 24-plate Icon. We were impressed; nonetheless, it was at the upper limit of our budget. I enquired with the salesperson whether it was equipped with both front and back sensors, to which he affirmed positively. We stated that we would contemplate it. After reviewing the specifications, we contacted the salesperson to enquire once more about the sensors. He was resolute that the car was equipped with the sensors. We presumed they had been included as an addition. We proceeded to register. Upon our arrival, we requested him to reverse the vehicle to demonstrate the use of the sensors. Speculate over the matter. Absence of auditory signals or alerts. We refrained from speaking to him. We abandoned him in the vehicle. Departed from the dealership

It is suggested that it may be a late Generation 1; however, sharing an image of yours might assist others with any enquiries you may have. However, I am confident that you can distinguish between Generation 1 and Generation 2. Merely based on the body style alone. Generation 1

Decline, I have no knowledge regarding the matter. I assume the wife would require her own. My Toyota account is also connected to the vehicle. I have not attempted it, so it may be prudent to await a response from someone who has succeeded.

Thank you for your prompt response. I can cease my concerns over the absent features that were unnecessary in the first place, amusingly. Yes, I have linked my phone to my profile. I believe linking to the key would be more advantageous for when my wife drives it to work. It thereafter appears in guest mode. Is it possible to associate her phone with my profile to prevent it from defaulting to guest mode while just my wife is in the vehicle?

It is likely a late first-generation C-HR rather than an early second-generation model. The 1st Generation C-HR lacks capability for remote climate control and the ability to associate the profile with the smart key fob. Your profile can be connected to your smartphone using the My Toyota account/app.

Greetings, everyone. First inquiry. I anticipated the presence of remote climate control on the Toyota app; nevertheless, it is absent. Ought it to be? I also considered linking my profile to the smart key fob. Once more, I am unable to locate that on the MMU. Any feedback would be valued.

It is wonderful to receive your communication.

Unfortunately, it seems that all dealerships believe they are offering you a service.

Regrettably, it appears that all dealerships operate under the impression that they are providing a service to you.

Maintain distance. Recently purchased a 2026 model. Preferred 3.3L, 500 miles at dealership with differential leak. Purchased it at Smithhaven Mazda on Long Island. The service attendant behaved as though she were doing a favour by addressing the issue. Mazda produced a BMW.

Long Island, New York. I required a three-row vehicle to transport my grandchildren on weekends, although I was reluctant to compromise my principles by acquiring a minivan. I examined competitors in this segment and was particularly impressed by the design, engine, features, and pricing of the CX-90. As I would require the third row infrequently, I sought a vehicle that would be enjoyable to operate during the remainder of the time. I have desired one since its release, but I postponed my purchase until the faults were resolved, and Mazda has predominantly rectified them. I previously owned an Eddie Bauer Expedition, which I cherished; nevertheless, engine problems compelled me to dispose of it despite my diligent care and upkeep. Thus far, I am enamoured with this vehicle. Regarding the reviews who criticise the rear as bulbous, I assert that I have always appreciated women with curves.

I have just purchased the BM6 from AliExpress for £17.42 and am eager to test it.

Similar like you, I will not alter the original Rocket until it fails me. I will acquire a Bosch or Yuasa battery, as these are the recommended replacements from other users.

Instead of visiting the Kia dealership. Simply purchase a battery online and install it yourself. Possessing a battery booster will enable you to proceed if the battery becomes depleted. For instance, Aldi and Lidl also offer them at different intervals.

We plan to retain our KIA for approximately 20 years. Contemporary electric vehicles are capable of lasting a minimum of 200,000 kilometres. Our yearly depreciation will exceed £1,000. We retained our previous VW Passat diesel estate for 26 years, with the final battery enduring for 8 years. Kia dealerships may impose a fee of approximately £200 for the replacement of the 12-volt battery in the EV6. Do you not advise testing it independently with my own multimeter? I fail to comprehend the rationale of substituting objects prior to the conclusion of their functional lifespan. If I schedule an appointment with a Kia dealer and they confirm that the battery is now functioning adequately, should I express my preference to invest in a new battery now, or should I defer this decision for another six months and have it re-evaluated by the dealer then?

The BM6 appears aesthetically pleasing, and the battery life remains satisfactory after four years. I will likely acquire one.

I possess a BM6. Justifiable expense. As you can verify while remaining in the warmth. You will also be able to move to a fresh battery. A four-year-old battery as well.

Have the battery assessed to verify its condition; if you anticipate needing a replacement within the next year or two, why invest £25 in a monitor? You have recently increased the price of a battery by £25. Alternatively, one might get a high-quality battery to ensure peace of mind for the subsequent four years.

My KIA EV6 will reach four years of age next January, and I am quite apprehensive that the 12-volt battery may be nearing the conclusion of its functional lifespan. Batteries are more prone to failure in cold winter conditions. Replacing it promptly with a new one would be imprudent. They are somewhat costly to replace and 2. Contingent upon its prior existence, it may endure for an additional year or two. I possess a multimeter and am considering either leaving the battery cover off the 'frunk' during winter for expedited battery voltage checks or purchasing a Bluetooth battery monitor for approximately £25. What dissuaded me is the recommendation to affix them to the top of the battery, and presumably, one would then detach them upon battery failure. It is also improbable that it will be necessary during the initial years of the new battery's lifespan. What actions do other electric vehicle users undertake? Do they only await the failure of the 12-volt battery?

I concur; the responsibility should not be solely placed on the parking pawl. Engage the handbrake/e-brake first, then shift into park (P). In certain vehicles, selecting 'P' activates the electronic brake, as observed in my M340i and the M5; nonetheless, it is advisable to engage the parking brake first to prevent undue stress on the parking pawl.
