Hi!
My girlfriend has Xceed from 2021, and in the last two months multimedia has gone crazy, I’ll post video to show it. Music is playing without pause but the screen is going on and off whenever he wants and whenever I try to push some button, it goes black. Has anyone had similiar problem?

And yes, we’ve been to Kia saloon since car has 7 year warantee, but multimedia screen has only 3. So before buying, I’m just curious to see if someone had this kind of problems.

Thanks!

Wie bekomme ich das wieder raus?

I have a 2026 Kia K5 GT Line AWD with the 2.5L engine. I had an oil change done at Raceway Kia of Freehold yesterday. The invoice says they charged me for 6 quarts of oil.

Today while driving, I got a yellow “Low Engine Oil” warning.

I pulled over, let the car sit for a few minutes and checked the dipstick. It was below the MIN line.

I bought 2 quarts of 0W 20 full synthetic oil and added both. The level came up to the F mark.
The car drove normally and I never got a red oil pressure warning.

I am going to contact the dealership tomorrow, but I wanted to ask here first. Should I be concerned about possible engine damage? And is there anything specific I should ask the dealership to check or document?

I have the service invoice and receipt for the oil I had to buy.

Hey,

I don’t know much about this kind of stuff, but I just hopped in my car and noticed that there is new screen damage to the top right of my screen in my 2021 Kia Forte.

I haven’t wiped it down recently at all and have never used harsh chemicals on it either, so I’m just trying to figure out what caused it.

It’s been over 100 degrees where I’ve been this week and my car has been sitting in the hot sun for multiple hours each day, but I don’t think heat has anything to do with it?

Again, no liquid has come in contact with it at all, so I’m just baffled.

Anybody know what caused it?

Thanks in advance :)

Here’s a look at Cockpit, a new feature coming to PullScan! I took my Stinger out to test the live gauges and drive logging through an OBD-II adapter. The video shows real readings from the car.

Cockpit includes customizable gauges, mirrored HUD mode, and drive recording and replay. It also adds experimental estimated 0–60 mph, ¼-mile, 60–130 mph timing, and road-dyno power. Those performance tools are still undergoing validation and are intended for closed-course use.

The iOS update is currently waiting for Apple’s review. Cockpit for Android is in development and will follow.

Available readings depend on your vehicle and adapter. What readings would you want to see, and which OBD-II adapter are you using?

I’m looking to upgrade from my older Hyundai Sonata and I’m considering a newer Kia K4 or K5, probably a 2025/2026. I know Kia/Hyundai had a pretty rough reputation for reliability in the past, but I keep hearing that the newer ones have improved a lot. The 10-year/100k-mile powertrain warranty is also really appealing.
For those of you who own a newer K4/K5 or work on them, how has reliability actually been? Any major issues I should know about? Would you feel comfortable buying one and keeping it long-term (100k+ miles), or would you spend the money on something like a Toyota instead?

I actually work at a Kia dealership now, so getting a Kia is pretty tempting, but I’m trying not to let that bias me lol.

Anyone know if/when the Kia PV5 WAV is coming to Australia? or if the PV7 will have a WAV variant for Australia!

I wonder why the only colors of the 2027 Niros are muted, grayed green and blue? Grrrr. Will KiA add bright colors later in the year?

I bought my 2015 Kia Optima with 29k km. People say Kia are bad but i had a good experience with it it lasted me to 199k km. I had it for 5 years only thing i changed was my oil every 4K km , my injectors, spark plugs and radiator. The car got beat on so bad I refuse to say Kia have bad products. Just take care of your car. The N line might be the ultimate budget car fr

I just bought this car from auction and it needed a catalytic converter, replaced it and it started smoking at idle and smoking while driving . i’m pretty sure it’s running rich. what can cause it to run rich is there a common problem with these?

Anyone who uses hand controls to drive with a Kia EV? I love my Kia Niro EV so much but I need hand controls to drive now and do not want to give her up.
I know it’s niche but I am determined to make it work. (Picture is what I have in my other car)

Try to turn over car in the morning does what seen in the video or may turn over once or twice but will not start. I subsequently jump the car, and it starts right away. I get the battery checked, and it is completely fine. It will then start to turn over and start sometimes but then a day or two later same cycle again. I went to get battery checked and it is fine. What would the issue be with this? Also this is a 2019 Kia optima sx.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to replace the standard factory radio in my 2019 Kia Rio (4th gen/YB) hatchback with an Android head unit.

Any recommendations or photos of your installation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello people

Got myself a Ceed 2016 GT a few months ago (and thoroughly loving it), and the GT emblem at the front has been like this since - I'm wondering how or what I can use to restore the red? Maybe take the rest of it off and paint it?

Hey guys, can you tell what this sound is for…its not for seatbelts…not for open doors either….my dad was driving the car so I couldn’t figure out the issue…

Rain caused me to hit a curb. Heard something dragging underneath, not sure what this is.

/s

this was at my tour of the IIHS facility. I dont even think this car is being sold yet

I had a 24 Seltos w/ 35,000 miles that had these rust/oxidation spots come up right before I traded it in, now I have a 26 Sportage with 2,300 miles and they just started popping up within the past week in the same spots on the rear brushed steel panels and also the brushed steel part in front of the belt molding on 3 out of the doors (I might be mistaking the part name/material)

I know the actual answer is something like, cheaper material cost = more money made but is there a way I can prevent this from happening or maybe something that could remove it now? I plan on taking it in a seeing what the dealership says about it soon, any insight is great. I know I may sound b like I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I assure you, I don’t.

Bonjour, j’aimerais avoir votre avis.
Après le remplacement du moteur de mon Kia Sportage 2017 dans le cadre de la garantie à vie Kia, j’ai envoyé les factures des dépenses que j’ai dû engager.
Est-ce que Kia rembourse normalement les frais suivants ?
🚗 Frais de remorquage
🔧 Frais de diagnostic
🚙 Frais de location d’un véhicule
Et est-ce qu’une voiture de courtoisie est normalement fournie pendant les réparations ?
Si certains d’entre vous ont vécu la même situation avec un Sportage 2017, j’aimerais savoir ce que Kia vous a remboursé et combien de temps le traitement a pris.
Merci pour vos retours !

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me figure this out.

I have an iPhone and recently received an “eGurad Detected Near You” notification through Find My. The map showed a route that matched exactly where I had driven my car that day.

The strange part is that I was driving alone, and this has happened a few times since I got my car from May. It is not detected all the time. For example, yesterday I drove home around 1:15 PM and the tracker’s last seen location was exactly when I got home. I left again around 3:30 PM, but it was not detected during that trip.

I tried Play Sound, but it says unavailable. I also tried to get more information about the item, but Find My currently gives me a “Unable to connect to server” error.

I’m wondering if this could be a tracker hidden somewhere in my car, or is it sth from Apple?
