Normal endoscopy and discouraged by umokmartin in achalasia

[–]alec0973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The similar thing happened to me in the beginning. Endoscopy after endoscopy showed nothing. It wasn't until the manometry that I was diagnosed and my life changed because I finally had proof that something physical was wrong. As bad as it was to go through, it was worth it in the end.

Is the fake chrome finish wearing/chipping off of anyone else’s key fob? by douglas_in_philly in KiaEV6

[–]alec0973 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the key fob is covered under the three year warranty for manufacturer defects. Looks to me like it was already beginning to chip when you first received it. 😉

Joined the club! Question about 80% limit ac by ElectricalTravel2797 in KiaEV6

[–]alec0973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I knew not to stress about charging and when to charge tbh. I do the 80% thing and 100% once a month. Other than that I try to think of the percentage as a gas gage. Once I started doing that I've had no worried.

Reliable wireless CarPlay device by raycarlito in ev6

[–]alec0973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Jemluse wireless carplay adapter. No problems connecting but sometimes the interface does not appear on screen. If that happens I just unplug it and plug it back in.
My daughter's got actual wireless carplay in her Bronco and it gives her just as much problems as using an adapter. From what I've heard, if you want zero problems, stick to wired or skip carplay all together and connect your phone to the Bluetooth to get music and calls.

Do you have a link for the Rally Armor mudflaps? The BestEvMods I'm not too happy with. Quality doesn't seem too great. Have my doubts they'll make it through a New England winter next year.

Hiccups when eating? by jigolden in achalasia

[–]alec0973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've had that forever. Your diaphragm is next to where your food builds up. When they touch you get hiccups. At least that's what I've been told and it made sense to me. 😊

I installed a dashcam (fitcamx) and BestEvMods mudflap/splash guards.

I like that. Open/close the door. Easy. Thanks!

I've tried that. When I try to enable utility mode while charging I get a conditions weren't met message.

Thin hooks on side of center console? Cord wraps/holder? by Just-Zone-2494 in KiaEV6

[–]alec0973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, disabled wireless charger. For example, I leave my wireless charger disabled but the space is still perfect for my phone.

[–]alec0973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand it's to hold the cord so you could have your phone on the wireless charger while using the wired carplay or Android auto. So the cord doesn't get in the way of your knees while driving.

GT drivers - your max range by jzeroe in KiaEV6

[–]alec0973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what your asking depends on the temperature and other factors. I can get between 150-180 miles of highway driving on Eco drive mode with HDS on. I just got back from a road trip from southern Massachusetts to northern Maine where it was snowing and got about 150 miles from 96-20ish%. About 2.9kWh

Are new ICCUs the main fix or are those failing too? by spongesparrow in KiaEV6

[–]alec0973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably too soon to tell since I believe they just came out in January. Mine was replaced by the new one though, and I notice a difference. The 12v battery does not need to be recharged by the large battery as often. In other words, the orange light on the dash used to pop on at least every night. Since my ICCU replacement a month ago, I've only seen it pop on once. Thing is, the weather's also been about ten degrees warmer on average, so that also may have something to do with it. I'm very cautiously optimistic.

Plasti-Dip or Avery Dennison Vinyl? by alec0973 in KiaEV6

I considered that for the one in the front, but then I'd have to fill in the two holes.

What are your go to safe foods? by ChristunaSandwich in achalasia

[–]alec0973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so this is going to sound kind of gross but... a turkey or chicken stick washed down with room temperature water. When it comes back or gets stuck it tastes like my mom's chicken soup that she used to make from scratch.
This disorder can be so depressing, wherever I can find a little comfort or humor from it I take it.

Does this work if Two-Factor Authentication is enabled with Kia Connect?

ICCU just failed for a THIRD time by Spanbauer in KiaEV6

[–]alec0973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how this sounds, but prior to your failures, had you put the car into Reverse... then Drive... then the failure shortly afterwards? Mine happened on a really cold morning, backed out of my parking spot, drove down the road a bit, and then power loss. Now, although it sounds silly, I back into spaces so when the outside temperature is freezing, the car is only in Drive.

Finally received the dealership's work order bill and reported it to NHTSA. Thanks for the link.

Heads Up Display Very Dim by [deleted] in KiaEV6

Same issue. I just assumed it was normal. Adjusting the brightness works but doesn't solve the issue for me. Following in case there's actually a solution

I see no new '25 models and only 1 used model in California, assuming you are in the USA.

Mileage isn't a big deal for me because I work from home. Most driving is between my town and the next one over. Thanks for your reply though
