No visible cables on my 212. Wires may be easily concealed under the screen trim and connected discreetly to an ignition-switched 12V supply located behind the dashboard.

Verification should be conducted using the VIN rather than the registration number. 👍

Indeed, but was this tire subjected to testing? This is not an inexpensive Chinese tire. Numerous favorable reviews suggest that it is a commendable tire with a V speed rating, a 109 weight rating, and a 400 treadwear rating, accompanied by a 35,000-mile guarantee, which I think Walmart would honor if purchased and fitted there. While I am uncertain about pursuing this option, it may serve as a feasible alternative for those seeking to economize.

I discovered the Accelera Iota ST68 at Walmart priced at $161 per tire. Received excellent ratings, achieving a rating of 4.8 out of 5. Not a tire manufactured in China.

Tire Rack offers the Kumho Crugen for $220 per tire with a $40 rebate, but they are currently out of stock. Given their 640 treadwear rating and favorable evaluations, I will likely choose them. Nonetheless, after 12,000 miles, my Toyo Tires retain substantial tread depth. Given the substantial weight of the vehicle, selecting a tire with a high treadwear rating is essential.

It seems peculiar that the throttle exhibits both latency and excessive sensitivity simultaneously.One seems to be in opposition to the other.

The temperature influences the levels, which fluctuate when the oil undergoes heating and cooling owing to expansion. Ensure to transition the gear selector through each gear for 20 seconds, commencing and concluding in the park position. A scanner would also provide the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid.

They possess a designated threshold for low temperatures and a distinct threshold for high temperatures. It is essential for the dipstick to be of the appropriate length.

I received one liter of Dipthane and used it all.I am not asserting that it was ineffective (I have never disassembled the engine to investigate!). However, it felt identical and did not impact the measurable miles per gallon.

Utilising Apple Play and Google Maps from my mobile device

I possess the maps application on my phone and understand that if I initiate a route from my residence and thereafter go to my vehicle, it will continue to function without internet connectivity; nevertheless, it will not provide traffic updates or information on potential accidents. -

I am unaware of the exact charges; however, my PAYG contract rates are 3p, 2p, and 1p. Nevertheless, while using mobile data for checking email or WhatsApp, it seems to incur a minimum charge of 35p, even if used for about a minute. -

Thank you for your response. Before I pose a question, please be aware that I lack proficiency in technology. My question is, when I connected the phone to the satnav using the USB cable, I noticed "Auto" appeared, but I did not proceed further. If I configure it and activate it at my residence, where I have internet/Wi-Fi, will it continue to function while I am driving away, given that I lack internet access unless I enable mobile data? -
I own an OPPO A16 smartphone equipped with Google Maps. I own a USB cable that connects the phone to the USB port on the dashboard. Must I have mobile data enabled to see the newest maps and receive real-time information? Using mobile data over the whole of the journey would incur costs, however the exact amount is unknown. How can I put Google Maps on my screen? I launch Google Maps and then proceed. This may be obvious to many, but I have never seen this option previously, and I lack technical expertise. Thank you.

I need a new one as well; mine is discolored.

By remapping to enable the throttle plates to fully open in E63 fashion, it should be nearly optimal.

Do not! I intended to attend their concert in 1979 for the Wall tour, but I was excessively inebriated and neglected to get tickets. -
I possessed my key within a Faraday bag, nevertheless it remained functional. I subsequently purchased a new one from Halfords, which resolved the signal issue and functioned well. Salutations

My husband's vehicle (X218) has recently successfully completed its MOT. The examiner informed him that both front tires are beginning to exhibit inner side wear. He maintains the tyre pressures for the fleet according to the specifications on the fuel flap. Is there an alignment issue, or is this the typical wear pattern predicted for the regular vehicle? Thank you.

Kia mapping is supplied by a third party (TomTom), and the delivery is already overdue. Is it imminent? Thus, pursuing Kia for updates is futile, since they are sent biannually. There is still no assurance that this mistake will be rectified. Does a prolonged push on one of the steering wheel buttons not cease the beeping? (uncertain on the selection) It is advisable to transition to Google or Apple, along with using other navigation applications that get more frequent updates.

This year, I did not inspect my vehicle and check the handbrake before to my MOT owing to health issues. I have three weeks remaining until my MOT expires. I just need to resolve it.

I had my MOT yesterday but did not pass due to a malfunctioning handbrake on one side. I did not inspect it before to taking possession, and I have barely driven 400 miles this year, resulting in the vehicle being stationary. Additionally, there is considerable surface rust on the rear control arms. My vehicle is a 2006 model with original rear suspension arms. I plan to replace all of them this next summer.

Thank you - I will get one from Kia tomorrow and replace it before to the MOT deadline on January 31st.

Thank you - I will review it.
