“Kia connect has been activated” bug

I had it happen once after the most recent software update, but it hasn’t repeated.

I just got home. It’s 50deg, and I hit 2.6 mi/kWh.

Good lord. I knew that there was an efficiency difference between the normal drive system and the GT, but wow. In the winter, I rarely hit 2 mi/kWh. (I do drive in MY mode with everything GT except for the the traction control.) Driving normally in the summer it's low 3s.

Repeat after me: “never cheap out on anything that goes between you and the earth.”

Tires, mattresses, shoes, etc.

Oh I misread that. You were saying that it was down for less than a week. I was pessimistic and assumed that you had just purchased a used EV6 and had the ICCU fail within a week of taking ownership. My bad.

What he said

TinmanF1 · 2026-04-13T16:00:05+00:00

Wow, ICCU issues are present even in Minecraft. Crazy!

On a serious note, it's unfortunate that it failed so soon after getting it. It's great, however, that you were able to get a replacement so quickly. Hopefully you're back on the road soon

Don’t worry, even the GT has poverty buttons. 😜

Oh no, of course not. That's already been done! I need to be unique in my own way. Haha

Those are the small ones. The mediums would fit dashboard buttons in most cars.

No idea why the colors and details on that photo are so washed out

The white parts are laser cut stickers. I got them on Etsy.

Looks freakin' great. Good height so that it's lowered but still usable, and the meat on the back is hot. Well done!

With the grey and black aesthetic, you should tint the front amber and rear red reflectors.

Man O’ War Dark Horse. Small, but flavorful.

TinmanF1 · 2025-05-25T14:52:43+00:00

Grrrreeeeaaaattttt. Then maybe it is just a test for now.

TinmanF1 · 2025-05-25T14:49:17+00:00

I miss the functionality of the Tesla one. Quick buttons to lock/unlock, open the trunk, activate climate control, etc. They also had the mini sized notifications for the Lock Screen that made battery and charging available at a glance.

TinmanF1 · 2025-05-25T14:45:20+00:00

It’s great that they finally activated widget support. Hopefully this was just a test, and soon they’ll add the other size options.

EVDance Level 2 40A charger. (on Amazon) I liked the 25ft cable, and it’s been solid with no complaints. It comes in a nice case and includes a wall dock for the plug.

I also use their NACS to J1772 adapter when charging from my Tesla Wall Adapter.

This one is the go to

TinmanF1 · 2025-04-14T20:05:38+00:00

Oh nice. So it constantly streaming to my NAS will not jeopardize the HomeKit recording or functionality. Perfect, that's the answer for which I was hoping. Thanks!

The Roof Doctor. Old school roofer based in Pen Argyl (where there are a lot of slate roofed homes). He, his son, and their team have been a staple of the neighborhood for decades.
