    Who turns off the Auto Start/Stop feature when they first get in their Stinger?

    The main reason I turn it off is due to my radar detector. It has a short battery life once the car shuts down but quickly warns me it's going to die. If I don't catch it in time, I have to unplug and plug in the detector again.

    Don't the police have to use the laser outside of the car? I suspected it was in much less use during the cold months particularly in northern states. Upstatedoc confirmed my suspicions. I understand the cost analysis. I am not seeing much, if any, in my area. This factors into it as well...

    Great point. Thanks. I don't know if I need it in my area or not yet. Do far the radar detector works great. So during winter, does laser drop in usage?

    Hi all!

    Thanks! It doesn't seem like to many Michiganders around yet but with our penchant for performance, they will come. Finally got to clean my car.

    Those that are parking their Stingers outdoors, hows your paint holding up?

    So the ceramic coating is a good suggestion but be sure you understand what you're buying into. The coatings will help prevent the micro scratching from car washes and what not but when they happen, it is much harder to remove them. They also require upkeep. There are toppers and Si02...

    What is the difference between the sensors? That's no apparent either. It says TX is more better. So do you need the others? Can one just get the more betterer one?

    Ha. You don't have to be a tool. It doesn't say this is the basics. It says you need these. Select your options. The site isn't good. I thank for for telling me what should be readily apparent at a glance at any half decent web site. You have no idea what my budget is and I don't care...

    How long do you plan to keep your Kia Stinger?

    Wow. Hate to see her stripped down like that but I'm sure she'll turn out beautiful.

    But the math doesn't seem to work. I put the options in as above and it totals 860. So I don't know where the extra 500 bonus from. Lol autocorrect hammer=jammer

    Boy that site is crappy. If you don't know their terms, it is difficult to understand. Even after reading the definition of TX sensor, I'm not sure if it's just a sensor or a hammer. Therefore, I don't know if I need or want it. This goes with a few other things too. In addition, they...

    How long do you plan to keep your Kia Stinger?

    It's a bit annoying as just when I'm getting used to a car, I have to switch. Not to mention the whole do I do any upgrades question. Doesn't seem worth it but I live to do them.

    So, should I assume laser protection in a can doesn't work? I really don't know if I want to add a laser jammer to a lease.

    Thanks for this. I was looking for some info on radar dectors and ended up with the Uniden R3. I've been impressed so far with a warning of Ka at least two miles away as we were going towards each other and saw him about a mile and a half down the road. This was a a somewhat hilly road too...

    Who has or plan to get their Stinger Ceramic coated?

    I do love the DCB but since I'm in the US, no dice for me. I ended up with black. I was looking into the ceramic coating but there are pros and cons. I like the fact it is supposed to make the paint tough. But I don't like that any swirls that happen are more difficult to get out. I also...
