This is for full use of Android Auto? Because that's what we're talking about here, not Bluetooth phone or music connection.

I would agree it seems a step backwards. The whole great thing about Bluetooth was that you could just leave your phone in your pocket and use it hands-free. I read somewhere they are working on a protocol to get them to work through Bluetooth, but who knows what the obstacles are? There must...

Woohoo!! Thanks for finally getting the official (and expected) answer from KIA. Please ask them what the numbers are/should be at 87 octane.

If keeping the warranty is your first priority, you have no options for any significant increase. That's the nature of this game. The more serious any failure on the car, the more extensively KIA will search for reasons to blame the owner. So, you have to judge for yourself which items are...

Subaru already has this same system. I haven't bothered to look, but if everyone else doesn't have it yet, they will soon. As mentioned above, great for the average Joe. Not a suitable replacement for someone looking for a real LSD. It should be an option on any higher-trim Stinger.

You don't seem to understand how these things work. The braking is the torque vectoring because there is no LSD.

Explained perfectly. G70 has it standard equipment because it's supposed to be/is being marketed as "sporty." So should the Stinger have it at least as an option.

Sorry, Kazz is right. It's about handling and torque vectoring, which can be controlled electronically with the LSD, too, by the way (see Nissan GT-R, Subaru WRX STi, etc.). Brake-based torque vectoring is the poor cousin to doing it properly with a LSD. Lots of lower-end cars have and...

Same as on the RWD! Should have been an option from the get go. Standard on Genesis G70 AWD sister car. Of course it will fit, but is there a software update required to prevent interference from the brake-based torque vectoring?? That's the big question...

How do you do that? Does it not change with the drive mode?

ClariFi is designed to improve crap quality MP3s and radio signals. If you are using top-quality FLAC files it should make zero difference because you already have a "perfect" source. Haven't played with the Quantum Logix yet, but in every other similar system I have used the original sound...

This looks like the best one of these I have seen. The Stinger has enough of a horizontal lip for this to be properly mounted?

And what file format do you output to?

MurlinatoR, what are the lease residuals and rates for March? Not sure how many different zones there might be in USA, but I will share the Canadian (Ontario) ones for 3 and 4 years so we can compare. Your earlier comment about the depressed residual versus needing incentives is a very...

You would be one of those people who is too smart for your own good. Thanks for trying to bring some sense to out-of-touch corporate types that can't understand that the old patterns should not apply to a radically different product. Of course, if they had asked you how to configure the cars...

Why is there such a big lease discount this early?

The language used in the new sticker is unfortunately no clearer than the old language. Any car should use higher octane fuel "for optimum performance." There is only one fact that matters: what is the Stinger's HP and torque output at 87 octane versus 91 (and maybe 93 as well for those...

It would be scientific, just not accurate or reliable. Feel free to waste your time.

There is no reliable or accurate testing that any owner could do. Just needs official confirmation from KIA--which octane was used to get the official power numbers; what loss or gain in power occurs when you use the "other" (from the official) octane, either regular or premium?
