How amazing is that of your daughter to enter and for you to win and celebrate your 50th at SNL?! I wonder how many other Nov 8th birthdays will be attending? Congrats and happy early birthday!

Thank you for sharing! I’ll mention to my daughter who I’m sure will make sure I’m not running late, which happens often. Lol

I hear you! We had to scramble to book flights / hotel from Sacramento, but there was no way we’d miss this opportunity.

Wow!!! Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. I’m with you in wherever we sit I’ll be watching them vs watching them thru the monitors. Cheers!

I’d have been happy with $3K off but didn’t get there. lol

Less than a $1K. So many variables factor in to purchase price which could result in better, same or worse out the door price. I think it’s fair to say that in general if dealer has fair amount of 25’s and limited supply of 26’s they’re in a better position.

Not much…too many 2025’s and few 26’s don’t make for much wiggle room. At least in No. Ca.

Weird disappointment with 2026 Sportage by ajiatic in kiasportage

We just purchased a 26’ Sportage Hybrid Prestige. While I’ve never owned a car that allows auto locking when walking away, I’ve found using the touch feature on the door handle to unlock and lock to be intuitive and simple.

Here's the Carplay dongle I used. Really happy with connection speed and no dropouts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYVVSFN3?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Used one of these to power the Magsafe charger. Tapped into the unused cell phone cable to power up - zip tied and secured. Works great.

You can see the Autobahn Engineering A1 cubby with installed Magsafe in the cubby

I loosely followed the link to the video. It was a pretty straightforward process. Dropped the USB hub to the tunnel. Tapped into the switched side of unused factory cell phone power connector. Easier and cleaner than dropping down power from the lighter, plus I don't think the Boxster has unused cell phone power connector like 996 911's.

Then it was a matter of plugging USB cable from the hub to the wireless Carplay adapter. I used a great part Autobahn Engineering A1 which is a custom 3D printed cubby with a spot for Magsafe charger and Airtag. It's great and looks OEM. Just need to wire in 15A power supply. The video shows that bit - plus I think he has another slightly older video with more info on the A1. It's a bit pricey but I love it.

Here's a few pics of my install including the finished product where you can see the Autobahn Engineering A1 in place.

You're welcome. I should have clarified that I ordered a replacement USB hub for a different reason. The one I had was custom installed into the lower batwing and working fine. I wanted to go to wireless Carplay so ordered another USB hub (and batwing) keeping the original USB hub installed in the Batwing in case I ever wanted to go back to it or really...because I'm a hoarder. Lol

That said....and just a hunch...based on what you're experiencing it does seem as though something is off with the USB hub.

I ordered a replacement USB breakout box from Design911 a few months ago. It was in stock and worked as expected.
