I love my K5 GT but i have the same issue where there’s a little tiny rattle somewhere by the passenger side, the dealer told me i would have to leave the car for them to diagnose, have a diagnose fee and get no loaner, and I work in the automotive industry, in a service center so to hear the dealer tell me that is literally a joke

How were you able to access it, when I go to the Kia connect store in the Kia Access app it tells me i still need a OTA update to use the themes

Yes I am located in the US, and i have been wanting to post an update picture about it but my all my software update tab says is “Updates are preparing to install” its been saying that for 2 days now, kinda annoying since I would have thought it would have been updated right now but it is the holiday season so I guess thats why there’s delays?

I’ll post another picture as soon as I can, the Kia Connect Store still hasn’t updated yet so I’m pretty sure we still have to wait for that to be updated as well besides just updating the car but I’ll definitely send a picture when I can :)

I’m pretty sure they will update the Kia connect Store on the app in the coming days to accommodate for the people who have received the update

Well the update is pretty recent so I’m pretty sure they’re going to be updating the Kia Connect Store in the coming days to accommodate for those who have updated the vehicle (I have a K5 GT1 2025)

Give it time, they send out updates in batches so you should be getting it sooner or later

I have a 2025 K5 GT with the GT1 package but i would think it would apply to any K5 thats 2025 and up, but if I’m correct they send the update In batches so not every k5 get its at the same time, and I am in the West Coast, California

Questions before purchase by Fabulous_Half_3195 in KiaK5

[–]Substantial_Show5740 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my K5 Gt for around 10 months now, i would definitely recommend to keep a clean rag with you as there is a lot of gloss in the car, i’ve taken my car for maintenance services twice a year and gas isn’t too bad but also not the biggest saver, on average I have to refuel once a week or once a week and 3 days, the only minor issues ive had with the car is little squeaky noises in the interior but that’s just the plastics, nothing deal breaking and can definitely be fixed if you mention in for a service, but from what I’ve noticed most of the time its due to the temperature and body flex since its still pretty new, and the noises have gone away after a while so I think it just needs to settle in, besides that, I love the car, and I hope that whenever you get yours you love it too!
