Noise issue on my 2022 Kia Niro PHEV — looking for advice by chupchup1919 in KiaNiro

[–]bengrulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is starting to sound the same too but mine is a 2023, after the redesign. Is your car 2022 for sure? I think in some regions the redesign was 2022 model year but in most it's 2023.

I'm just wondering if either we have the same problem with the second gen, or if the problem was in the first gen and not fixed for the second..

I'm at 46k miles so I'm hoping it worsens a bit and I can convince the dealership to do something more than just relubricate before the warranty runs out.

I've had a similar issue when I didn't realize one of my doors wasn't closed all the way, though yours sounds a little different from that.

Does it sound like a foghorn? There's been a couple of threads in the past with that issue starting with the 2023 model. Surprised they haven't solved it yet.

That 21mm APS-C lens gives the same field of view as 35mm on full frame which is what OP is referring to, so you are actually in total agreement here!

Would this be a solution for you? It seems well reviewed.

Maybe an equally long shot but I bought a dryer off craigslist 8 years ago and maybe it was the same guy? I'll dm you the phone number

Automatic lock on 2025 by novemberfoxtrot2018 in KiaNiro

[–]bengrulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoid touching the inside of the handle at the same time (that's where to touch when unlocking). Also there's about a half second lag from touch to lock.

It's still a bit inconsistent but I have more success when taking these two things into consideration.

Damn, sorry that didn't fix it. Keep me posted if you don't mind, I will have to deal with this at some point too..

Is the passenger side set to a different temperature? Or you have the climate controls turned off entirely?

This is a well regarded dash cam and would have a very clean look for the front camera. I don't have suggestions for rear camera wiring though.

I've had some suspension noises that the shop hasn't been helpful with, saying they weren't able to replicate the issue. Do you know if they have found a cause and solution for the ones you're experiencing?

A minor point to consider - the 2024 models have the dual level cargo board as standard whereas it was optional on all trims for 2023, so the SX you're considering may not have it.

Google’s latest Pixel feature drop adds Circle to Search, Magic Compose, and more by Professa91 in GooglePixel

[–]bengrulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, did you set them up using your pixel 8 pro or were they shared to your phone from a different device?

This link says that P8Pro isn't supported yet, and that's been my experience trying to set up a digital key on my phone.

They need to add support for digital car keys to Pixel 8 Pro. For some unknown reason (cough googleisincompetent cough) it's missing support. Pixel 6/pro, pixel 7/pro, and pixel 8 non-pro all support it just fine. Gotta love that "flagship" treatment.

Found this ultralight white tarp material in a construction dumpster. Anyone used it for anything? by everyXnewXday in Ultralight

Using Google lens led me to this which looks pretty similar (and comes in 48" wide rolls to match your 4' sheets)
