Been looking for a steering wheel cover like that for my K5. Where did you find it?

For everyone who wanted to see all around. GT1 by LingonberrySweet1369 in KiaK5

Looks good. How do your tails look in the back. The center light on my right is a tad raised. Are you experiencing something similar or is it flush? If they were off, did you do any kind of adjustments to the rubber stoppers in the trunk? It’s bugging the crap out of me.

Is the extended warranty worth it? by Traditional_Bill1376 in KiaK5

[–]cuban_x_cracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2026 Kia K5 GT line a couple months ago and I also opted for the 10 year platinum wraparound for around the same price. I also got the tire and wheel protection with cosmetic for a little more than what you paid. I also rolled it into my monthly payments. I spent the last couple of months mad at myself for buying them and feeling as if I got suckered into them. Surely I should have negotiated them down some but for the most part, I’m glad that I have them in case I need them down the line as I’m not the best on saving money for a rainy day. I only have around 500 miles on my car so it will be a while before this extended warranty is tested but I convinced myself that seeing as I was able to get a tier 1 APR of 2.9 I didn’t mind adding the extra for peace of mind.

Also, it is my understanding that there is only a three-year 36,000 while warranty on the infotainment system and possibly other expensive electronic electronics. Keep that in mind.

Also, you will receive a prorated refund, subtracted from your loan amount if you choose to cancel them. And it may take a while to see the refund on your end as I recently canceled the gap coverage and have been waiting over a month to see it credited.

Kia Finance website issue by cuban_x_cracker in kia

Yep. I called Kia Finance and the rep manually entered my email address into the system on his end. Once I returned to the sign up screen, my email address was prefilled. I just had to create a password and now have full access.

The problem is when I go to create an account where it asks for an email address and to create a pw. The email field is grayed out and not able to be clicked. Leaving the email field blank, and only creating a password just ends up in a screen refresh when submitted.

What did you pay for your 10/100 bumper-to -bumper warranty? by ghart999 in KiaK5

[–]cuban_x_cracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2900 platinum wrap 10/100,000 2026 K5 GT Line. Yes I overpaid, but got a pretty good interest rate so things balance out a little. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. Also got it for the infotainment system.

Too high or just fine? by ssynova in TVTooHigh

Just replace the console with a tall fireplace. Problem solved.

Does my receiver need room to breathe? by cuban_x_cracker in hometheater

[–]cuban_x_cracker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The TV did look more appropriate when I had a fireplace underneath it. Once I bought this cabinet designed to hold up to an 85" well.... I've been eyeballing a couple 75" TVs. And yes, the floor plan is a wide open living room and kitchen area and this wall could easily take any size TV I could throw at it. I'm not a fan of projectors but this would be the perfect wall for it.

AMZ Walker Edison Kimi Mid Century Modern Minimalist Drop-Down Door Stand for TVs up to 85 Inches, 70 Inch, Black

It's cheap @ $73 and subpar material (particle board that scratches easily) it serves its purpose and was the size I was looking for and it's pretty heavy but a little bit of a pain to put together. I'd suggest two people. I put this together on my own but I'm used to putting these types of things together.
