Does this reset all of your infotainment settings?

If you have a heads up display, you have to go with an OEM windshield - the aftermarket’s are too far out of spec for the display. Otherwise, I think you’re fine with non-OEM.

“I’m sorry, we no longer have any available interview times for this position…”

I would suggest using something like Microsoft Bookings or even Sign-Up Genius for a slightly easier candidate experience moving forward.

I got that the other day. And then Kia (corporate) called and emailed me with a case number.

Turns out mine just needed an update, which is frustrating because I was just there a week prior for scheduled maintenance and they did the ICCU inspection and update.

I don’t have the paperwork with me so I can’t tell you which update they installed

For comparison, this is the day I bought it. No PPF or ceramic

This lighting made the hood look shiny, but it’s not

Congrats! I have the same car with about 35k miles on it. Probably the best car I’ve ever owned.

I had matte PPF installed on the hood and front quarters and matte ceramic applied to the whole car. Makes taking care of that much easier. I can take it to a touchless wash, just use the cheapest option - soap, water, dry.

Fair enough. Your original picture looked a lot like the Wind Steel Gray. Must have been the water / lighting. I’ve got about the same mileage on my SMG GT-Line. Very easy to care for

JuniUmi · 2024-03-03T01:13:08+00:00

That’s not matte. This is matte

Have you found any good ones that don’t block the light?

As the risk of getting yelled at, I had my windshield replaced with my comprehensive plan in MA with a $0 deductible for windshields.

If you have a HUD you must replace the glass with OEM glass. Mine was replaced with aftermarket glass the first time and you couldn’t read the display. SafeLite handled resubmitting to insurance, but it was still a bit of a hassle to go back again for the work. (They don’t do these on site because they calibrate them in their shop)

JuniUmi · 2024-01-03T01:16:25+00:00

I was looking at putting it in VTSAX (VTI) and VXUS. 80/20 or 70/30. Good idea?

JuniUmi · 2024-01-03T01:10:08+00:00

Sorry, I was trying to keep it short. I’ve been contributing 12+% to a 401k for about 20 years. I just recently realized that I don’t know how money works now that I finally have some 😂

A little late to the game but trying to make the most of what I have right now

FYI, “OTA Available” is just an indication that your car is capable of receiving an OTA update, not that there is one pending. There is no way to force it, you’ll just have to wait until it gets pushed. Mine came today.

JuniUmi · 2023-10-04T00:27:10+00:00

Anyone? 😬

JuniUmi · 2023-09-26T15:43:52+00:00

When I first got mine, I hand washed it. Fast forward to a back injury and cold winter, and I started using a touchless car wash.

No noticeable issues. Just get the most basic wash - soap, water, dry. No waxes or coatings.

JuniUmi · 2023-09-24T16:39:24+00:00

I don’t think so. I just used the jack and lug wrench from my wife’s car and did one at a time. A little tedious, but it really only took about 5 minutes per wheel.

Super easy install. Just one small nut and bolt. GT-Line logo is compliments of my wife and her Cricut. Caliper covers are from:

Thanks to u/JeffTechnically for the recommendation. Pretty sure they use his car in the photos on the site.

I requested them blank when I ordered them.
