    Stinger GT2 - Climate is Off & Set to Re-circulation, auto changes to fresh air

    Thanks, I knew I read that when I went through the manual but I couldn't remember the details. I would think this would fix the issue. So is it my imagination that when I don't have it in Auto it doesn't seem to move or is it activated by the Auto climate settings? Haven't had it that long...

    How about a radar detector hardwired DIY install?

    It was really easy to run the wire, there is a pretty big space between the top of the window and the roof so it tucks in nicely without any tools across the top, it gets a little tricky at one part of the A-pillar. As you transition to the A Pillar initially there are not any issues but you...

    Stinger GT2 - Climate is Off & Set to Re-circulation, auto changes to fresh air

    I have noticed the same thing but I think it happens because you set it to Auto. Try taking it off the Auto setting and see if it still does it. I read the manual there are several things to do to take it off that mode as I think you can turn it off. When I have it off of Auto it seems to...

    Idle stop start question

    Well first do you have a GT2 with the Shift by wire or the other models with a physical gear shift? From what was suggested if you just push the off button on the push start without shifting to park the car automatically goes to park. For the no shift by wire you may have to actually shift...

    Idle stop start question

    Yeah that's probably what I should do I guess it is just an old habit this is the first car I've had with Shift by wire so I'm so used to putting the thing into gear it will probably take me a while. Right now I feel like a pilot going through a checklist LOL

    How about a radar detector hardwired DIY install?

    Thanks, The video quality is good quality 1080p at 60 FPS especially with the wide angle lens it shows the bottom part of the dash and the entire window and out to the sides so you don't have to aim it perfectly as it just needs to be pointed forward. The software configuration you download...

    How about a radar detector hardwired DIY install?

    These are not the best pictures but I think I just bought a kit that was popular with this model and mounted it with 3M sticky tape, the camera unscrews and you can take it off or just pop the Micro SD card out and put it back without taking out the camera. I ran the wire up to the top of...

    Idle stop start question

    I've noticed this too, I play with pressing the light but if the light is on in the button I believe it is deactivated. It resets when I restart my car. I believe the orange/yellow A indicates that it is not shutting down, when it is Green that is when it turns off. But why it lights up on...

    How about a radar detector hardwired DIY install?

    I used the one I had in my previous car it is a Mobius Action Cam with 1080P. It's not fancy it has a SD card that you have to take out and view via a computer but it comes on when I start the car and goes off when I stop it and I like that it is small. However I noticed in the Stinger there...

    How many people plan to subcribe to SiriusXM after their trial subscription expires?

    I have the free trial and I noticed on the settings for NAV traffic you can switch between HD and Sirrius , The HD is Free and uses the HD radio signals and I've noticed it provides the same traffic and weather data that the Sirrius does for free so I would see if you have an HD option and try...

    How about a radar detector hardwired DIY install?

    I just installed a Dash Cam and I used the Power outlet with the tap shown on this thread and it works perfectly. Just make sure you get the Micro 2 Tap. The rest is just trying to get it to look right and hide wires.

    Lease Buyout - How to get the best deal on a Kia Stinger!

    I just got my Lease buyout quote which includes the tax in AZ, I think it is around 7.8% here but maybe you can see by my numbers and get an idea. I will tell you that when you go into financing they will try to add alot onto the price so you need to be firm and only take what you want/ can...

    Dash-Top Red Blinking LED ?

    My 2011 Hyundai Sonata I had before the Stinger did the same thing I think it was the Alarm deterrent. I'd be curious if it is due to not sensing the key fob close by like when the mirrors fold up when you step away and fold out when you get close it might be worth it to try and test that out...

    Lease Buyout - How to get the best deal on a Kia Stinger!

    It should work the same way here AZ, its not funky like Texas or anything so it should be straight forward I think. I assume when I request the buyout quote it should have the state tax then added for the remaining amount as the state tax is added into the lease payment as you pay, so hopefully...

    Lease Buyout - How to get the best deal on a Kia Stinger!

    I think you are right I called them up and said I'll be there at 10am tomorrow to get it. Then for the Lease buyout you just wait until it is loaded up on the Kia Finance website then request a buyout quote and pay it off from what I'm reading. I'll take a look at the contract make sure there...

    Lease Buyout - How to get the best deal on a Kia Stinger!

    Probably, I called a costco auto program participating Kia dealership they are stating they can get me the 2019 GT1 RWD in Ceramic Gray for 42,854 not including tax title and license. Guy said he needs to sell some cars before end of the year so I'm heading down to see if I can do the 36k...
