  1. It occurs just during the car's unlocking process.
  2. I suspected that would be the situation, although I had visited other garages where I was informed they had never encountered this problem and were unable to provide any recommendations. Thank you for the recommendation!
  3. I have had my 2013 1 Series for many months and have consulted various garages, including BMW, nevertheless no one has been able to resolve the issue of the horn ringing upon unlocking the vehicle. The horn emits two loud noises when the automobile is opened after a period of being locked. No warnings are present, and the vehicle is generally in excellent condition. Do you have any recommendations?
  4. The advertisement said that the product will get map updates for a period of 7 years. Therefore, I was reassured when I saw the message 'Expires 2031' throughout the update process.
  5. I just acquired a 2024 CX30 and discovered that the satellite navigation maps it comes with are dated from the first quarter of 2022. Currently in the process of updating to the most recent version of 2024, which was published in June. Requires a significant amount of time to complete. What is the frequency of updates?
  6. Thank you. I received these when I ordered the CX-90 along with the Mazda Premier Protection Package.
  7. I initially had the same belief, but subsequently, I experimented with leaving them in a folded-down position when the rear seat was raised. The obstruction is significantly reduced when the headrests are in this position.
  8. I would connect it to a power source in order to do diagnostic tests. If the performance is already subpar, it should not be difficult to pinpoint the underlying issue. Otherwise, there is a risk of exacerbating the problem by adding more complications or variables, which may result in costly shotgun component replacements.
  9. Thank you Ken_Lion - I believe I should read the handbook!
  10. I have lately acquired a 2023 Niro 3 HEV. I have Kia Connect loaded on my mobile device. However, I would want to know the procedure for checking the current software version installed on my automobile.
  11. Resolution provided by Kia Connect. Despite much research, I managed to find this information online. There is no information on this solution on their website. We appreciate your contact. We regret to learn that you are encountering this problem. We respectfully request that you deactivate and then reactivate the Alerts & Security Service. The location of the item may be accessed inside the app using the designated menu. Additional information >>> Service List: Alerts & Security. Once the task is completed, you should have the ability to deactivate the Valet mode. If there are any other matters I can help you with, do inform me. Wishing you a pleasant day. Sincerely, Magda is a representative of Kia Connect. Hopefully, this might be of use to others.
  12. There is no issue with the sole ability to deactivate it via the application. If the application successfully establishes a suitable connection with the car. Uncertain whether you have already used the valet mode. However, its functionality is limited to preventing the use of the radio, music, and navigation features. It does not effectively deter or prevent speeding.
  13. I activated valet mode using the application. If you follow this method, the only option available for deactivation is via the application. Extremely bothersome!
  14. Prior to using a meet and greet service at the airport, I opted to experiment with valet mode on my Sportage the evening before, using the app. Unfortunate timing. The valet mode has been engaged. Because there is no reason not to. Subsequently, when I attempted to disable it, I consistently saw a notice indicating the absence of a signal. Currently, the automobile has been immobilised in Valet mode for a duration of 13 days. The Kia Connect app continues to indicate a lack of signal. Despite the automobile indicating that it has signal. I attempted to reset the headunit. This is ineffective. After thoroughly reviewing over 30 online discussion boards, the only plausible explanation I can deduce is that there was a terms and conditions notification that appeared on the car's interface, which I failed to see while driving. And was never acknowledged? I have contacted Kia Connect via email, and now I must await their response. I personally spoke with Kia, but they were unable to provide any assistance. Have you encountered any such situations, and if so, how did you resolve them? The absence of sound when driving is quite distressing to me.
  15. My vehicle also has this feature, where the front axle is divided into separate left and right components, each listed individually.
  16. Should the designation for such components be classified as left and right front axle halves?
  17. I have not yet had the chance to inspect the front end of the vehicle due to unfavourable weather conditions. However, if the weather is dry this weekend, I expect to be able to examine it.
  18. Good evening, is there a straightforward method to determine whether the automobile is a 4Matic model? The automobile I just acquired lacks any 4Matic insignia, both on the vehicle itself and in the registration certificate. However, while obtaining insurance rates, it is listed as a 4Matic. Thank you in advance
  19. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brand for the E46 is VDO/Siemens.
  20. I have had a negative experience with the tyre fitters at Costco. Specifically, my son had new front tyres installed on his front-wheel drive vehicle at their establishment. Their approach was to replace the 'new' tyres on the rear of his vehicle and move his somewhat worn ones to the front. I disagreed with this decision since the front tyres are responsible for steering and most of the braking, so they would benefit from having greater grip in wet conditions. It required several deliberations to get the desired outcome according to our preferences.
  21. Thank you to everyone. Unfortunately, Costco does not have the appropriate size for the rear tyres I need. I am disappointed about this. I cannot find any nearby locations that offer the Pilot Sport 4s in an 18-inch size. I have made a reservation with a nearby tyre shop on Friday to have new rear Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres installed.
  22. I am especially enticed by the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres.
