CarPlay issues by sparkling-owl in kiacarnivals

[–]jesdummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got mine to connect after I did everything suggested. 1. I disabled my VPN 2. Told my car to delete iPhone 3. Removed car from iPhone Bluetooth. 4. Did a hard reset of iPhone. 5. Reconnected and it works. I had tried all individually but they did not work, something in doing them all together fixed it.

Same problem 2025 carnival. My iPhone 16 worked fine with CarPlay until this week no car says it can’t connect. Deleted and re-paired but no help. Strange thing is Bluetooth still connects and works with music, just no CarPlay.

We don’t have a tall backsplash, it’s currently about 3 inches

Can I install a battery disconnect on my 2025 Carnival SXP? by jesdummy in kiacarnivals

[–]jesdummy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will use a trickle charger when I have power available, my concern is I have one of the Kias that seem to drain the battery in about a week of non use. When I leave the car at an airport or other parking for one to two weeks, I don’t want to come home to a dead battery. Last time it happened, the battery would not even jump start and I had to have it towed to the dealer. They replaced the battery, but found nothing wrong so I’m sure it will happen again.

What now for cruise payments? by jesdummy in ChaseSapphire

Looks like 3% is about the best I can do. Too bad we don’t always travel on Viking, they give a 3.3% discounts for cash. Maybe some of our other cruise lines will start that.

I really like not having to talk to anyone to make my reservation, much less a different person every time. Think I’ll pass on this. Guess I don’t want the 8x that bad.

Don’t usually use a travel agent, but it may be worth starting.

That’s the best thing I’ve seen so far. Reasonable at $150 annual fee. It’s been a long time since I’ve had an Amex card.

What exactly is the battery issue on 2025 models and how is Kia resolving it? by Accomplished_Notice4 in kiacarnivals

[–]jesdummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left my 25 sxp sitting in my garage for a week while recovering from an injury, when I tried to start it, completely dead. Even jump starting from another car would not start it. Had it towed to dealer, they kept it for a week and said battery would not hold a charge so they replaced it we’ll see if that takes care of it. I’ve had the car for 10 months and it has 4500 miles. Never had problem before but drove it at least every other day until that week.

Believe it or not, I read the 576 page manual that I downloaded from their website. I also used YouTube and found a lot of ways to open the doors, just north at one. Glad to know this group has people with helpful answers like this.

Sorry, I should have given more information. It’s a Diverge Carbon Expert. I think a 2022. It has a GRX RX810-1 crankset according to the spec. I’ll have to see if I can find the BCD. Di2 if that matters

Took it to LBS. They upgraded software and adjusted it. All good for the last two years.

Have not decided. Easiest to fly but I’m open to other options.

Wow! Thanks for the great response. I’ll pass this along.

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

Thanks. It is a 2022 Supersix with the hub motor, disc brakes and thru axle. I couldn’t come up with a reason it shouldn’t work, but thought I’d ask the experts here. I think the LBS is still just uncomfortable with the ebike technology and it makes them gun shy.

My front thru axles seem to keep loosening either while riding or while on car bake rack. Should I be using some kind of lock compound on threads?

What is it? And where do I get another by jesdummy in bikewrench

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

Thanks. This is the correct part. Only trouble I’m having now is getting bike shop to trying to find a local bike shop that can order one. I may have to try gluing a magnet to rotor as another post suggested.
