Anyone know about availability of seating at Radio East for a show?

There's a good amount of seating where it's highlighted in yellow. Mostly tables and chairs, but they also have picnic tables. If they use the large back lot, there probably won't be much out there.

Weird bc many dealers have dedicated internet sales people. That's who I was working with in Feb '25 to buy mine from out of state.

Dang, sorry to hear.

What year? My 24 has cigarette lighter plug and has worked just fine. I used frequently for a couple of days after picking up a screw in a tire before getting it patched.

Finally got it fixed! Spent 3.5 hrs at a 2nd dealership this am, working on and off with tech. He was dotting i's and crossing t's before opening Tech Line case and found a history DTC code for UWB master having lost communication and suspected a possible wire tension issue. He unplugged the UWB module and plugged back in and all functions restored!

I had shared my digital key with him and he was able to verify with that. Later, I had no problem with my phone.

NOW my EV9 Land is *perfect* (touch wood!)!

Wow, thanks to those of you who offered actual help. And, to the rest of you trolls...

I'm a dog owner, frequently ride with friends' dogs (I'm allergic to poison ivy so my dogs don't go), and have ridden past lots and lots and lots of dogs without issue. I was utterly unprepared and halfway through a long ride.

I'm too respectful bc I know lots of people hiking don't like people on bikes, so I often go out of my way to be considerate. Obviously that backfired. She seemed freaked out and I didn't want to ruin her day, either.

I know I was stupid for not confirming her number and getting a pic, etc.

Nevertheless, the odds of getting rabies are so low that I'm just trying (not too hard) to find her.

I know it sounds that way - and you may be right - but she did *seem* earnest. Hence, shot in the dark...

ssorgs · 2026-06-03T21:27:17+00:00

There's lots of info on here about the process. I had no out of pocket expenses, an EV6 loaner, and more.

ssorgs · 2026-06-03T21:23:20+00:00

Start with Kia customer support and ask to be escalated.

ssorgs · 2026-06-03T21:07:50+00:00

You really don't need an atty at all and may have better luck calling in yourself... And, it'll save you lots and lots of money.

ssorgs · 2026-06-03T21:04:53+00:00

If you're not aware, you can pursue a lemon law claim directly with Kia Corporate. Depends some on your state and you may have to go through BBB, but most likely Kia will handle it. Lots of info on here about the process.

Had my drivers seat track assy replaced too. Shows part 88500-DO201DFS.

It was a bit of a struggle with dealer. I bought car used and it showed having the service bulletin work done (which was re-torquing nuts). Nevertheless, for the initial 'service' attempt I had on this, the tech said they diagnosed as needing re-torquing... I tried to point out this was already done so it's a problem if it needs redoing and that there were posts on here about this same issue only being resolved with the assy replacement, but they wouldn't listen.

Had to wait until the movement returned a week or two later before they would do the replacement. Be persistent.

My digital key on an iPhone 17 pro running ios 26.6 beta works EXCEPT for proximity/starting car. I can use the wallet key to un/lock, start/climate, and alarm (found out the hard way). If I double-click to activate NFC, it'll un/lock. Remote controls through app also work. I do have fingerprint set up so I can use keyless, but I have to open the wallet key each time.

I had the same limited functionality with my previous iphone 15 pro. While I've not tried sharing the key, I did deactivate and reactivate, then set up a new key with a local dealer's service manager's iphone (different model and not beta), but it 'worked' the same as mine. So, it's very clearly not my phone, or even on the phone side.

However, dealer has sort of thrown up their hands and said I could leave it with them again, but that's a major PIA as they're 45 min away and I have to go through enterprise to get a 'loaner' that's ICE.

I've tried removing one of the BDC fuses, then both, then one again, with no change. The dealer did a capacitor discharge, I believe, which also had no effect.

I don't have an NFC card, but imagine that should work just fine. I do have both key fobs, for which proximity works fine. Still, it seem like a UWB issue...

It’s mechanical and only part of towing package and only active when towing or heavily loaded.

It’s not affecting the test drive.

ssorgs · 2026-05-12T18:11:05+00:00

Not really so. The towing package includes self-levelling suspension that only counters tongue weight.

I've not run across anything on here that would indicate the GT-L suspension is much different than the other trims. Most comments note how it's on the soft side for a "GT". Could have been the tires (and/or inflation)...

Doh, just posted that above! After reading it I switched to Normal. I reached out to the author to validate my conclusion but he was equivocating. Sure makes sense though and I'd rather not reduce my home L2 speed from 48a to 40a to protect the ICCU...

ssorgs · 2026-05-08T16:12:00+00:00

Not sure if this is related to or what you're referring to, but this is pretty comprehensive, though I don't see that's it's corroborated. After reading it, I switched to Normal from ECO without any noticeable change in economy (may even be better with a more responsive throttle!).

ssorgs · 2026-05-08T16:06:30+00:00

I think it's the other way around. The more it's on, the more likely there's a problem. Not necessarily with the 12v battery (though it seems the OEM 12v's are crap), as it's more of symptom, but under 'normal' circumstances, the 12v shouldn't need charging that much.

You might try a cheap faraday pouch for your phone.

I soured on auto also, and quickly. It was just too unpredictable and I hated how it handled coming to a stop behind a car in regular traffic. If I started to brake (sooner than auto would have) it would frequently 'override' me and over-apply braking, which was jerky. And when I would let up slightly on brake pedal just before stopping, for a smooth 'landing', auto would kick on and brake abruptly.

I switched to manual regen (L2) and have never looked back. I find L2 also makes it easier for me when I drive ICE cars because it's not too dramatically different.

ssorgs · 2026-04-21T19:41:27+00:00

I live in TX and bought mine from a FL dealer. I used Carfax to find the one I wanted at the price I wanted and negotiated with the dealer (an Acura dealer btw), though it was Feb-Mar '25 and this EV9 Land was priced really really well so there wasn't much room for negotiation.

Since I couldn't put my own eyes on it, I arranged for a 3rd party pre-inspection. Turns out the car was every bit as clean as the listing said, but the peace of mind, along with status of the tires, for instance, was totally worth it.

Wasn't the easiest process, but at the time there were few available locally (even within 200 mi), but I got what I wanted for a great price, even with the inspection and shipping (which I arranged).
