    [Solved] 2018 Stinger - Vehicle Diagnostics Unsuccessful. Please try again.

    SSIA I'm seeing this message when I try to run Vehicle Diagnostics on my 2018 Stinger.. I have the eServices app on my phone, it's running, but still I get this message. I saw only one other thread on this here that was more about UVO being worthless (which I cannot argue) but I'd still like...

    SiriusXM Traffic Functional Testing?

    I have a 2018 Stinger and that model DOES have traffic info and SiriusXM Infotainment available. That's why I asked here.. it worked previously.

    SiriusXM Traffic Functional Testing?

    Hello all I pay for SiriusXM on my 2018 GT2 but the other day I noticed that I do not seem to get any SiriusXM traffic updates.. I've tried re-sending the activation signal to the radio, etc.. Has this functionality been removed from radio in the Stinger, perhaps? How do I verify that my car...

    Pothole 1 - Stinger 0

    I paid out of pocket and turned a claim into WSDOT.. a couple of reasons: - I have a higher deductible (and I keep the deductible in savings in the event I need it). - In Washington hitting a pothole is considered by insurance to be a single-party at fault accident. You have an inherent...

    Pothole 1 - Stinger 0

    I figured I'd share my pain here.. I was on a highway in Washington this last weekend (for lack of a better term) going the limit (in that area 35MPH) and noticed what I thought was a 'worn' spot in the pavement. When my car made a loud SLAM sound I realized that was in error. The tire lost...

    PNW Roll Call

    If you find yourself needing warranty work consider going to Kia of Puyallup.. I keep hearing nightmare stories from people who take their Kia's to Car Pros for anything warranty. Granted that's all anecdotal, but I can tell you I've had pretty good experience with Kia of Puyallup with respect...

    Question re Placement of tollroad Transponder

    Depending on traffic conditions, yes.. They have stuff set up to determine the maximum 'tolerance' before they go into HOV-Only by drivers.. turns out people will pay quite a bit to stay out of being bumper to bumper. My work pays for train passes and vanpools.. so I don't see myself needing...

    PNW Roll Call

    Maybe great for buying from.. but not for service.. I've actually bought all three of my KIAs (first a Forte.. then a year later an Optima SX and now the Stinger) from Kia of Puyallup. Everyone I know who had dealt with Car Pros has been less than happy with them from a service point of view.

    Question re Placement of tollroad Transponder

    I'd *like* to put it right up WSDOT's keisters for this sham.. but that's another topic entirely. Thanks everyone.. :)

    Question re Placement of tollroad Transponder

    Hello everyone, I have to put a tollroad transponder in my Stinger called a 'flex pass'. The idea is to save some money pay a bit less on these tolls for all of the HOV lane and tunnel improvements going on in Seattle. You can read about the one I'm using called a "Flex Pass" here...

    ARK PERFORMANCE 270 and stock tires?

    ARK PERFORMANCE 270 and stock tires?

    Hey all, I'm curious.. will the Ark Performance 270 wheels work with my stock tires? Also I've seen a couple of sites referring to sizing and 'staggered vs squared'.. I know my tires are two different sizes (I have the GT2) but are the front and rear wheels *also* different sizes? I'm...

    Those pesky HK headphones....

    The odd part is I've heard they were for "early buyers".. OK that's fair.. but people bought theirs after me (I bought mine in August) and still got headphones.. I mean.. if that's the way it is that's the way it is.. I'll live.. just wish they were consistent in this campaign of theirs. My...

    Those pesky HK headphones....

    My KIA dealer didn't even know that KIA corporate was doing it. They had no idea what I was talking about...

    Those pesky HK headphones....

    Catch Can Thread

    And I might be wrong but I think the catch can installation is WAYYYY cheaper than fuel system cleanings... intake valve inspections and replacements etc..
