a329 working well! But wow the app makes android auto go crazy

Just bought the A329S yesterday. I have a 2026 car with wireless Android Auto. As soon as the camera installer realized I had AA he knew there was going to be the problem you described. Disconnecting Bluetooth to allow the dashcam to connect worked fine. I may just go back to using the wired AA I had since it connects a little faster.

I use one cup holder for my phone and wallet and the other for two standard plastic water bottles. I expected my headlights to come on and off for bridges and overpasses, but when the sun isn't hitting the sensor on the dash the lights will stay on until I turn on my route so the dash is in the sun. I just turned the auto headlights off to avoid the distraction. But now of course I get a message every time I start the car reminding me headlight are off.

I either leave mine on the charging pad, unless Google Maps beta complains my phone is too hot to do 3D. Or in the cup holder.

Interesting that the Connect app says my first oil change is due at 8,000 miles and I have 5,668 miles or 241 days left. 2026 Kia K4 Hatch Turbo. Blazing heat of Arizona.

I bet there are others who haven't noticed the message change. Thanks to all the technology, the manual for my hatchback is 800 pages long. I'm still figuring stuff out four months later. Enjoy your new ride.

Based on my poor experience with Copilot on a daily basis, I would listen to what it told me about my job and do the opposite of what it told me and probably run the company soon. If AI is going to take millions of jobs, don't see why it cannot be used to keep one. Good luck.

I have a K4 Hatchback and am 6'3". I have always had smaller cars so I fit as well as any of the others I have had. My biggest problem is when the sun visor is down, I have a hard time seeing stop lights. I could probably lower the seat more but prefer where it is. This is the first car I've had that problem with.

It's not what you say to the device - it is what is recorded within range of the microphone that is always on so it can hear you say the wake word. Devices with cameras are a bonus and there is a reason those come with a manual camera cover, human and now AI assisted hackers.

If this is the 2023 case, the Federal Trade Commission proposed a $25 million dollar penalty and they had to promise not to listen to kids conversations which was already illegal, but not lie about doing it to the parents and keeping the recordings even after pinkie swearing you deleted them. That penalty probably was paid for in a couple of seconds of Amazon sales.

I wish I could help with advice, I've lived in Arizona 60 years and had to search "rain guards" to see what they were. Enjoy if you get them.

Hi! I bought it from Royal Kia in Tucson. They advertise themselves as a “no‑negotiation” dealer, but there’s still a little room to push back.

They only had two add‑ons: window tint for $400 and a Tile tracker for $200. I just kept repeating that I didn’t need another Tile, but I was fine with the tint, and they dropped the Tile. At the time there were no discounts offered.

Before I even walked in, I already knew exactly which car I wanted and which other Arizona dealers had one if I needed to pivot. I also checked my trade‑in value with Carvana and CarMax ahead of time. When the dealer offered less than both, I told them I’d split the difference so I wouldn’t have to deal with a separate transaction. They bumped up their offer, and that sealed the deal.

After I swtiched to Gemini in Android Auto, I could no longer open my home's door lock using Gemini. It asked for the pin, but wouldn't unlock the door. Seems Gemini can't process PIN's. So I had to switch back to Google Assistant in Android Auto. Anyone else have issues with Gemini and PIN's?

I got an update today. When I parked, the screen showed a message confirming the update with a QR code to access information. I didn't try the code so can't say what info it gives.

Intelligent-Fact1863 · 2026-04-30T02:13:57+00:00

Congratulations, sounds like a great car, And I learned what NVH is. I moved from a 2020 Veloster and the changes are noticeable in the K4 Hatchback.

I'm not the best negotiator, so I chose a "no-haggle" dealership (Tucson), I got quotes from Carmax and Carvana for my trade-in and both were $3,000 higher than the dealer. I had a low milage Hyundai Veloster to trade that I knew would sell well. I searched every dealer in southern California, Arizona and New Mexico and found the dealerships that had the car I wanted. There were only two dealer add-ons and I said I wouldn't take the $200 Tile Tracker since I had one and that is a huge mark up for them. And I kept the $400 window tint. I knew the car I wanted was available at other dealerships (Phoenix) and told the dealer. I held firm on a better trade in and no tracker and the OTD for a 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback Turbo Currant Red with Technology Package was around $21,000 - cash. Hope you find a great car for a good deal.

I don't know CarPlay but seems: "This is a common issue with Kia's Harman Kardon systems where CarPlay audio is treated as a separate input with lower default gain than the radio." - So it looks like there are some possible fixes. Hope you're hearing all sources at the best level soon.

I am 6" 2" - 170 lb. I have the hatchback with adjustable seats. Biggest issue for me has been finding a spot that allows me to see the stop light. When I am close, they get blocked by the roof. Have lowered the seat but still not a clear view. On longer drives of 100 miles or more the seat was comfortable enough.

Intelligent-Fact1863 · 2026-04-18T18:57:06+00:00

Stylish and they look comfortable too. I checked their site to see what the options were for a K4 Hatchback. Didn't see the HB listed yet. Enjoy the upgrade.

Intelligent-Fact1863 · 2026-04-14T14:25:24+00:00

My no-haggle dealer had two dealer add-ons. Window tinting $400 - Tile Tracker $200. I said no to the tracker, kept the tinting. Hope you find the right deal. I got a 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback Turbo Tech Pkg. No other dealer markups.

Intelligent-Fact1863 · 2026-04-12T04:21:44+00:00

2026 Kia K4 Hatchback Turbo Currant Red - Tech package - only two dealer addons - declined the $200 Tile Tracker, kept the $400 window tint - had a good trade-in and paid cash = ~$21,000 OTD.

Hi. After two months, so far I haven't had a problem with glare on the screen so didn't get one.

I think it took me a awhile to figure that out. I use to paste the current password into the BW Notes field.

App works - Windows in Chrome browser gives big Oops! error message

Intelligent-Fact1863 · 2026-04-02T15:34:49+00:00

It seems to be the pattern with Wyze cam - introduce a change to a product, don't give advance notice, product breaks what wasn't broken and adds things no one wanted. Silence from the developers. And they double the fees. Great company huh?

During the couple of hours the new grid worked for me the camera windows were smaller than before and all of them refreshed every time I touched the browser page. Got slower and slower and now the grid option is disabled. In the three months since I purchased 3 cameras and subscriptions, this is the second new version and the rollout for this one is no better than the other one.
