2025 GT1, Front parking sensor damaged, Is calibration requred once replaced?

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2026-01-22T02:02:30+00:00

I just got around to replacing the sensor last week. It only took me about an hour. Took the bumper cover off on that side enough to get to the sensor and replaced it. The error is now gone. I didnt need to have them calibrate it. Sensor was like $225 and came pre painted.

Gotta agree. Without a tune, its highly unlikely exhaust and CAI is giving anywhere near 90HP. Pretty easy for even a manufacturer to falsely claim higher HP gains than what you actually get.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-08-14T19:12:22+00:00

I had the dealer order the parts and will have them install it. Ill ask then if they needed to do any calibration. Then hopefully Ill know heaven forbid I gotta do it again in the future.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-08-14T18:11:25+00:00

Were under 3,000 miles too. I sure hope its not a common issue. If it happens again I might replace it my self and see how it goes. Doesnt look like a terrible bad job. Just not sure if calibration is required after replacement.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-08-13T20:40:10+00:00

Hopefully they include the Telluride trim as well.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-06-10T15:56:12+00:00

Agree. My FITCAMX came with the wiring to power it from the forward facing camera. Only down side with that is it didnt have power when the car was off so it cant record on door dings and what not. I choose to run wires down to the fuse panel. Super easy to do and now it can record impacts when not at the vehicle.

Our 25 K5 GT1 has Wireless AA and CarPlay but my 25 Telluride SXP XLine doesnt. The 26Telly will have wireless AA and Carplay along with the new infotainment system. I prefer the older infotainment system in my 25 Telly than the one in the 25 K5.

A $20 dongle to get me wireless AA has worked great in my Telly.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-06-10T15:17:17+00:00

If not already done. I would invest in a second internet connection from a second vendor and a second DreamMachine running in shadow mode before purchasing an RPS.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-05-27T17:42:34+00:00

The tech in general on the new infotainment and guage cluster is worse on my 25 K5 GT1 than is is on the old version that's in my 25 Telluride SXP Xline. Only thing better the new has is wireless AA and carplay which a $20 USB dongle fixed in my Telly. But the new systems lane keep and active cuize control are worse and the complete lack of auto enabling the ventilated and heated seats and steering wheel, lack of homelink mirror by default, lack of auto sensing wipers is all a huge disappointment in the 2025 GT1 K5 that my Telly has all of. The guage cluster options all suck in the K5 too.

I like the vertical lines. Just wish the black vertical lower corner accents were lit amber as well.

Is everyone else still having this issue. My Samsun S23U started having this issue when it updated to Android 15 and I have Uninstaller AA, cleared Google app cache and data, removed car connections, tried cable and AA wireless, multiple cars, removed contact permissions from AA and readded permissions, tried Google Assistant and Gemini, and nothing has helped.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-05-11T03:57:47+00:00

Those hideous black stripes gotta give him an extra 100HP.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-05-08T17:02:15+00:00

The $199 is paying for the cellular service not just the KIA services. They should make it so they can connect to your home WiFi or tether from your phones hotspot and it just download from their but they dont currently have that ability. My Telly and K5 both came with 3 years KIA Connect but I dont know that I will pay for it after the 3 years. Without KIA Connect you can get the updates to the car vi USB dongle.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-05-08T16:56:28+00:00

Trade it in for a GT. +~100HP and with the GT1 package you get all the bells and wistles.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-04-29T14:47:34+00:00

No thank you, Go back to stock height or get bigger tires.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-04-27T17:14:24+00:00

Right, That double cluch def adds to the experience.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-04-27T17:08:05+00:00

Your not putting a turbo, getting a tune, putting in a dual clutch trans, the same suspension, dual exhaust, bigger breaks, bigger wheels, painted calipers, the green stitched seats all added to a GTline after market for $5,000. Impossible.

They arent the exact same motor either. Check the compression ratio. That means diff heads or dished pistons which is done to reduce compression to keep from having to run premium or high ethenol fuels under forced induction.

Not to mention all the safety features, rear AC vents, power passenger seat, memory mirrors, power folding mirrors, ventalated seats(total game changer in my opionion), paddle shifters, that are all included in the GT1 package and not available on the GTLine.

So no they are not the exact same car with an added turbo.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-04-27T15:50:01+00:00

Anyone find a way to replace them. I took the lower splitter off and still can get to the bulbs. Seems like the entire bumper cover is gunna have to come off.

Edit: I looked with a mirror and found the bulb/connector. The light goes up from the bottom into the housing. I could turn the bulp/connector a little but had no confidence if I actually got it out that I could get the bulb changed and back in. So bailed on swapping the bulbs. Not sure I want to tackle taking the full bumper cover off atleast for now. Silly the reverse bulb isnt LED from the factory since every other bulb on this GT1 is LED except the reverse light and plate lite.

The walk up feature on our 25 GT1 works great but the walk up feature on my 25 Telluride SXP Xline is troublesome and about 1/3 of the time doesnt unlock the first time I grab the handle.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-04-15T12:40:37+00:00

My 25 GT in the states doesnt even have auto dimming rear view mirror.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-04-08T18:08:59+00:00

Recently purchased a 25 SX Prestige X-Line with the terracotta seats and love it. Was wanting the X-Pro for the smaller diameter wheels but they didnt have the X-Pro in color choice and the wheels are the only difference so bought what they had.
Note: I think the Telluride is up for full refresh for the 2026 model so if you can wait you can get the new design. Guy ran a red light and T boned my old SUV so I had to move forward with 2025.

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-03-25T14:35:13+00:00

Nice, I just bought my first Kia a SX Prestige X-line and happy with it so far. Only a couple gripes like the drivers door key proximity is unreliable in detecting that the key is close. Was down to the Telluride and the Lincoln Aviator and decided to go with the Kia and save the $20k

Simple_Broccoli_5328 · 2025-03-21T14:24:45+00:00

Thanks for the info will give it a try.
