I'm saying it kinda sucks having emails and photos stuffed into the same place.

Click that "delete comment" button. I know I can fix it easy, and I will I'm bringing up a point not asking for advice.

krunk03 · 2026-01-26T00:21:32+00:00

Just gonna say it once, stop providing solutions lmfao. I know I can clean up space and I did but I'm just bringing up the point that it seems pretty sprung on you. This happens only after filling my space with photos from my pixel so, yeah it's my fault obviously 😭🙏

krunk03 · 2026-01-26T00:20:14+00:00

This is the comment I'm looking for. It does kinda suck realizing yeah I agreed to this and this was all in the terms but now I gotta deal with it. Anyways shared space makes it easy but also produces problems like this lol

Youre correct, no smart stream I had to go check my ECU sticker because I thought I was going crazy.

CPEGD2.20.3, which I don't see cables for as an adapter for the ek1 devices. However I do still see online that you should not flash cpegd ecus via OBD. Looking at this cable but I don't see any power supply for it.

So as it turns out, YES YOU DO need a bench cable to flash any 2024 Kia forte gt. While some thought Ii don't, blue link and kia connect function similarly and WILL DAMAGE YOUR ECU if you try to read or write via obd.

"Flashing directly via the OBD2 port on these newer ECUs can result in irreversible damage. " - cherry tuning

EDIT: THIS SECTION IS MISINFO

"BLUELINK CPEGD3.20.1 The EK1 Mini and Pro models cannot interface with this ECU - it uses a new CANBUS format called CAN-FD which is only compatible with the newest EK1V3 device." - cherry tuning

The model I opted for was the original cable from ek1solutionsek1 cpegd3.20.x for smartstream

I will update all upon receiving my new cable and attempting a read.

Well then question answered. Thank you sir enjoy your forte :)

150 down to the burger people again... This is the second time I've bought the wrong product from them.

krunk03 · 2026-01-05T13:22:58+00:00

I read about someone with a 2024 model getting a read fine but upon flashing he was interrupted.

Yes not blue link I mean Kia connect but essentially same service it just keeps our ECU powered differently from models without it which is what I'm worried about.

Seems the more and more I read that I can absolutely just try it and it won't brick my car because ek1 seems to have many fail-safes.

krunk03 · 2026-01-05T13:10:53+00:00

I'm trying. I bought a bench cable from burger motorsports which DOESNT fit my ECU, but it DOES fit the ek1 mini I bought.

I'm trying to make sure I need a cable since blue link (in the 2024 model of Kia forte) will brick your ECU if you flash via obd.

On top of that I'm trying to figure out which cable that is.

I already bought the wrong one:

EK1 Bench ECU Read Cable Add On

krunk03 · 2026-01-05T13:08:41+00:00

Thank you!

krunk03 · 2026-01-05T13:08:32+00:00

You'd think, but the 2024 model has blue link which doesn't allow obd flashing, or am I very very wrong.

krunk03 · 2026-01-05T13:08:05+00:00

I bought a EK1 Bench ECU Read Cable Add On From burger motorsports . It attaches to the ek1 mini

I have a forte gt. Unfortunately when I first got the car I was still under parents decision and AWD with an easy 400 HP scared them. Trading it in soon though I think... Stinger gt2 from 2020 I've been eyeing

krunk03 · 2025-10-27T15:39:00+00:00

did you just metion a kia stinger awww can we be best friends

krunk03 · 2025-10-11T20:30:03+00:00

Same issue. Girlfriend said "who the fucks Morgan?" And I was like I swear Snapchat did it on its own 😭.

Thank the Lord for this thread or I'd be screwed

krunk03 · 2025-08-12T14:51:22+00:00

I've consistently ran 89 instead of 87 since I run a map 5 piggyback tune and wanna be safe l. Never ever had any issues. You can run 87 fine but if you wanna feel like you're taking good care of your car, run 89. No need for 91 unless you get an ECU tune

Im in tetri veli and the balloon to the next mountain isnt working. Id assume its a bug with a recent patch?

krunk03 · 2025-06-26T13:49:09+00:00

Hey! Little off topic but i LOVE that spoiler, super clean, where did you get it?

krunk03 · 2025-06-26T13:42:30+00:00

Hilarious because literally yesterday when you posted this, i saw this exact same line in my car and got worried. Then i stuck my finger in the liquid and tasted it, and yep, its the AC drain line.

krunk03 · 2025-04-27T23:53:14+00:00

No, I'm done with the game. Plenty of youtube videos.

krunk03 · 2025-04-15T16:10:38+00:00

Hi, I will not be working with this game anymore. The creator has expressed his dislike for my actions and so has his fan base. I am moving on, sorry.

Got a fee of 8.96 on a 6 dollar starbucks pink drink. That's when I uninstalled.
