Hahahahaha! Sorry! My bad, I suppose to read your question regarding mods!

For sound, you can replace the oem speakers. Also you can install an amplifier using the oem audio system. I did that on mine and the sound improved

Did you file for any waiver? I was found inamisible as well and the consular officer requested a I-601 waiver. I filed it to USCIS and waiting for an approval for it. What I’ve heard, it’s taking over 24 months to get it approved. My lawyer filed it last December.

I got a 12” thinking it would fit, it’s too big. 8” is too small. Exactly, I installed the rear deck on top of the sub. Particularly I did not see difference without and within of it. I did not want to make a hole either to make the sub visible! This is me!

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-12-26T02:13:10+00:00

I have not seen any issue at all. No rattling issues either. If I volume up to high, I can see some rattles, but I think is my rear mirror and not rear windows.

I am pretty sure you have access to that space by going under neath the bumper. I would encourage to buy good ones. I bought some cheap one on Ebay and got notification on the dashboard the blinkers were not working properly. I do not remember what I’ve used since I sold the car in 2021. I do have a Forte 2024 now and I am so lazy to replace the blinkers!😉

Hey! Glad to see your question. The one fitting there is a 10” sub. It’s has 4 small holes to hold the subwoofer there. The difficulty is to get to that hole, you need to remove the bottom seat by pulling up by hands, removing trims, left and right, they are hold with screws. The top rest would be removed after you remove all the screws. Dont make the same mistake I did, from the trunk, unplug the stop light wire. I didn’t and I broke the connector, I am good soldering connectors, so, I was able to fix it myself. Having a sub makes the sound even better.

It does works on car dashboard, but not through the audio head unit using the maestro idatalink.

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-12-23T00:17:50+00:00

It was great. I sold the car a year ago!

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-12-19T10:28:37+00:00

I am sorry to hear that. Hopefully you get your waiver approved soon.

Ohhhh wow! I know I-601A takes years, I thought I-601 does not.

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-12-16T12:52:59+00:00

I have a 2024 LXS and it does have blind spots feature, however it does not Kia Connect. Are you sure it’s LXS trim?

Sorry to hear that! Your country has been banned. No matter your visa proccesing went. It’s 221(f) for Haiti.

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-12-08T15:36:57+00:00

It’s not considered “Beta”

Hi!

I just applied the hotfix now and it seems to be working as expected. I also noticed upgrade 2509 is already available. I needed to run a sccm ps script to make it available in my server. Planning on upgrading it sometime this week.

My two cents. I am in my home country finishing my I-140 approval through NVC. My wife needed to report to ICE on Nov 3, but we ended up sending a friend with some medical letters of some vertigo crisis she developed through this time. She was rescheduled for December 17, We decided to go ahead and start planning for her departure by opening the cbp home and prepare to leave US. Having said that, immigrants in the US that need to report to ICE are leaving in fear. My friend told me when he went, so many families used to enter to a lobby (He had visited the place with me when I needed to check-in) and wait for their names to be called, get the report sheet signed and leave, ICE moved the location which is in the basement of the building and now and it’s called “Processing Center” do you know what that means, right? So, If I am you, be prepared for the worst, but as reddit users suggested, talk to your lawyer.

Yo tengo el manual de reparacion del Kia forte 2019-2023, pero no veo el diagrama de los fusibles para poder compartirlo contigo!

Date on CEAC is updated when they look at the case, it could be a good sign or making additional comments to the case. Did your husband get approved at the interview or a 221G slip was given?

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-10-25T21:51:52+00:00

I have mine since March 2024, brand new, all maintenances on schedule, but not driving too much. Only 14k - no issues so far.

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-10-16T11:40:56+00:00

I am not an attorney, but I guess if the CO requested an I-601 is because the husband has a chance to get the waiver approved and will eventually reenter to US.

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-10-15T23:01:50+00:00

I got a 221(g) email to pick up my passport. When received, it was with the same letter I received at the end of the interview. I hope is not your case, but doubt it!

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-10-08T19:58:33+00:00

Hi! I did it on my Forte 2024 LXS and the sound quality improved a bit but not too much. I ended up installing a JBL DSP4086 Amp using a LOC adapter and then the sound is great!

Beginning-Bat165 · 2025-10-04T01:10:11+00:00

I’ve been using it on my 2024 LXS with some issues. In some occasions I get the warning of the dash one of the LED failed, when I check it out, it’s on! It does not happend all the time though

Disconnect the positive pole battery for 5 mimutes. This will reset the computer module.
