    RaceChip USA Kia Stinger Tuning

    Which is why I said "not that much." I gave a 1:1 comparison, which is obviously going to be slightly off depending on how close to the max output revs you are (6000). Again, not as much of a difference as 4.7 to 5.2, though. I don't think that's the major point of our issues. You're basically...

    RaceChip USA Kia Stinger Tuning

    2 MPH is not going to affect the time that much. If we take the Kia quoted time of 4.7s, a 1:1 comparison of 60 to 62MPH gives you only another .15s to hit 62MPH at 4.85s. But since we've seen the Kia perform better in the quarter mile than others compared to how it performs 0-60, I'd venture to...

    RaceChip USA Kia Stinger Tuning

    Nearly every review I've seen/read has clocked 0-60 as fast or faster than Kia's quoted time of 4.7s. Road and Track even clocked it at 4.4s. 5.2s is really slow comparatively, I'd see what they were doing.

    USB Music

    If it's been made in the past year or two, it most likely is encrypted with HDCP 2.2, which no one's been able to crack yet. If not, you should be fine with a random BR ripping app, but if it has that you might be screwed.

    USB Music

    Because a) it's not on your phone or b) you want the full ID3 tag support, bluetooth doesn't support album art or searching your phone for music through the UVO system. Also skipping songs and play/pause is a lot faster.

    USB Music

    Sounds dumb. The same problem exists when you unplug the drive vs turning the car off. In both situations, you're immediately cutting power to the flash drive. When it's not "ejected" normally, you run the risk of corruption on the filesystem, but with a basic folder and music file structure...

    Strange...why would the RWD model not have the engine sound option?

    OEM Aluminum Gas Pedal Upgrade for Non GT Kia Stinger

    I was specifically referring to this part: Sounds like he's confused the Stinger has a dead pedal at all.

    OEM Aluminum Gas Pedal Upgrade for Non GT Kia Stinger

    My American model has a foot rest. You know a foot rest and dead pedal are the same thing, right?

    OEM Aluminum Gas Pedal Upgrade for Non GT Kia Stinger

    You're confused that an automatic transmission has a dead pedal? You know there's no clutch in automatic transmissions right? lol

    USB Music

    320kbps MP3 will definitely give you some nicer separation on the high and mid-range. The file size isn't as large of a difference that I'd still recommend it (only another couple MB/song). If you can afford the space, the clearer range separation a lossless format like FLAC gives you is worth...

    How are your seats?

    No wear issues at all, and I'm actually really surprised at how comfortable they are, compared to my BMW 440i.

    I believe this is a GT and up-only feature, part of you getting the 3.3L V6.

    Seems possible to make hood vents functional on the Stinger

    I honestly don't know why people keep complaining about the hood vents. They do look pretty cool and they must be non-functional for a reason. They wouldn't put non-functional hood vents that actively include detriments to the performance or cooling for the car. Plus, like mentioned, water...

    USB Music

    Eh, that?s not correct. FLAC is much higher quality, yes, but it comes at a much higher file size. Your average MP3 will be between 6-8MB, where as your average FLAC clocks in at around 25-30MB. Even other popular formats like AAC are still much smaller files than FLAC. It?s a ?lossless? format...

    Kia Stinger Korean Cupholder with Lid part

    Looks like the covered version also has a smaller front holder? Looks like we found out why they swapped it for the US market, we sure love our super sized drinks. :P

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    Your gas mileage will 100% take a hit from only driving in sport mode. Sport mode stays in each gear longer, so you won't hit 8th gear unless you're cruising at a cool 90-95mph. 75-85 or so is 7th gear.

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    Thanks for the info. Don't think I want to completely take the risk for now so I think I'll hold off. That 10/100k is really nice :P

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    So no warranty void or anything? Nothing where they can tell I've been using it?

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    I've been considering the Uncle chip, do you really need 2 of them? How easy/hard was it to install and what do you use to hold everything down? Can I just take everything out and go back to stock if it needs servicing?
