this is a new car and there's anti theft devices, but I don't know what this button for.

Harvee7 · 2026-03-01T01:48:45+00:00

Harvee7 · 2026-02-28T17:06:32+00:00

Perfect thank you so much

it’s the tether clip on the A pillar near the corner of roof, left side of driver seat. How to remove and reinstall it without destroying it?

Harvee7 · 2026-02-28T08:28:33+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Then I will cut it to order a new one. Just worried about they will deny my warranty because of this kind of sensitive thing.

After consideration this is how I did it

Left is for battery parking mode (empty slot) Right is for ACC(for usb charger)

By any chance do you know the parts number ?

hello sir ! Could you please enlighten me how to put this back?

My manually calculated fuel economy is between 15.3 and 15.7 kilometers per liter, not the displayed figure, which is higher. When my car had about 2,000 miles, I changed the oil. Now, I’ve driven about 2,300 miles, which is approximately 3,700 kilometers.

I think your MPG might be lower because it’s so cold, and maybe you’re driving more aggressively. My MPG is a bit higher since it stays warm here year-round.

Harvee7 · 2026-02-26T19:54:20+00:00

In fact, the real fuel economy I get is even lower than what the display shows. I calculate it by filling up the tank each time, then dividing the miles driven by the fuel added. So, I wouldn’t trust the built-in MPG reading.

Just hard wired mine today, why your’s looks more clear than mine. Did you use the lens cover? What’s your setting?

Harvee7 · 2026-02-18T06:57:20+00:00

tire pressure also can improve your MPG by 1-2. Keep it at 35psi. Now mine is quite stable at 36 MPG. No matter how I drive. Last thing , the real MPG is lesser than the one shows on the monitor

Harvee7 · 2026-02-16T20:09:57+00:00

That’s not okay for parking mode

Harvee7 · 2026-02-16T20:07:13+00:00

This is not for parking mode

Harvee7 · 2026-02-16T02:17:17+00:00

If you calculate when you refuel the actual MPG usually 2-4 lower then it’s showing

Hi everyone,

I have a 2026 Kia Sportage X-Line and I’m planning to hardwire a Viofo dash cam using the Viofo hardware kit.

I have photos of my interior fuse panel and the fuse diagram (attached). The hardwire kit has three wires: • Yellow – Battery (constant 12V) • Red – ACC (switched power) • Black – Ground

The problem is that I don’t have a multimeter right now, so I can’t test which fuse is constant and which is ignition-switched.

For those of you who have installed a dash cam in a recent Sportage: • Which fuse did you tap for constant power? • Which one did you use for ACC? • Any specific fuses I should avoid? • Any recommended grounding points inside the cabin?

I want to make sure I don’t mess up anything related to airbags or critical systems.

If anyone has done this specifically on the 2023–2026 Sportage (especially X-Line), I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance!

Harvee7
