    USB Music

    Regarding using USB drives with the MEDIA source button. The manual states that USB drives should be removed when the car is turned off and should be reinserted only after the car is restarted. This is a huge PITA, do you have experience leaving the USB drive in all the time as you can do on an...

    FYI - Just returned from Dealer for another issue and the dealer performed the above referenced Service Action by installing a washer and pad on the tailgate. There was also a Kia Update (SA324) which included placing a new CK Emissions Label decal on the car.

    USB Music

    FYI - As a quick follow up to my earlier post I am using CyberLink Power2Go Version 11 to rip the files to FLAC format. I do not have a software choice so the conversion is being made using the best audio quality. The MP3 file for a song was around 4.5 MB and the FLAC version was 26 MB. I'm...

    Kia Stinger Owner's Manuals

    I would say the overall quality of the manuals supplied with the car is pretty bad. The manuals have an excessive amount of repetitious information (paragraphs and sentences repeated). Also, there are many items that are not covered in any of the manuals. For example, my 2.0T Premium has a...

    USB Music

    MurlinatoR - thanks for the info regarding using USB drives. I tried one out using some MP3 files and it works great though the audio quality is somewhat lacking. Bezerker - thanks for the info and I will try creating some flac files. What software do you use to convert cda files to flac? Thanks

    USB Music

    I have a question concerning the use of USM Media in the Harman Kardon Premium Audio System. I am posting this because I do not completely understand the Car Multimedia System User's Manual descriptions for use of USB Media in the USB Port. My question is can I plug a "USB Stick (thumb drive...

    octane boost

    FYI - Page 1-4 of the Owner's Manual states that "Kia does not recommend the use of gasoline containing MMT". MMT was developed, manufactured and sold by the same fine folks who came up with idea of adding lead to gasoline and then spent decades defending its use despite published documenting...

    "Grasp the Steering Wheel" and Other LCD Warning Messages

    An update to my original post. There are two different warnings displayed for essentially the same thing. One warning is Grasp the Steering Wheel and the other is Don't Let go of the Steering Wheel. In either case all you have to do to cancel the warning is to slightly move the steering wheel...

    "Grasp the Steering Wheel" and Other LCD Warning Messages

    No audible alarm - just a message on the LCD and it repeated again after about 3/4 of a mile with no movement of the wheel even though I was still holding the wheel.

    "Grasp the Steering Wheel" and Other LCD Warning Messages

    While driving down a straight level stretch of I-182 I got the above message (or something very close to it). Apparently you need to move the steering wheel a little bit while you're driving. This is not documented in any of the User's Guides or Manuals. In talking with others there are similar...

    According to the Car Multimedia System User's Manual the USB device formatted to the FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 file systems are recommended. File systems other than FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS are not supported. Also note that the audio file types that are supported are: mp3, OGG, FLAC and...

    Confusion Regarding LCD Instrument Cluster Modes

    1st Post - Leased 2.0T Premium Model Saturday (January 6th) The Features & Functions Guide refers to Type A on Page 3 and Type B on Page 7. Page 3 includes a diagram whereas Page 7 does not include a picture of the Type B. What is difference and, if different, how do you determine which you...
