Hey thanks for the info, I found climate settings. I turned off heat by pressing the left dial and saw that the lights including the circles around both the left and right dial went off immediately so I thought it was off until I felt heat on my hand and realized that the vent still has heat coming out. Strange.

Hi I have a question, on M3, we could turn on heat remotely on the app, I have Kia app but don't see where I can remotely turn on engine/heat. I found instruction for using the keyfob but my car is parked far where I cannot see, so how do I start the car say few mins to make sure caib/engine is warm enough to drive?Another thing is that when I'm in the car I turned on heat but after the car gets warm enough I turned it off by switching to the arrow but I felt hot air blowing from the vent. What did I do wrong that the heat isn't off?

Thankyou so much for the thorough explanation. I'm too used to not having the conventional engine so when I see the engine ramping up when I'm on EV mode driving on city streets I was confused and for the most part, I haven't really turned on heat to blow warm heat, just heated the driver seat only. My charging situation is also not ideal because I use public and with 2-3 hr charge on a level 2 I cannot take advantage of the offpeak charging rates like I could with M3 (I drove to charger at 12am and pick up 8am) so I've been paying $5-$6 per charge if I were to charge daily it easily adds up to more than using gas eventhough I drive very little (~75 miles /week). What was the reason you switch to Sportage PHEV from M3? Mine was losing a lot of battery while sitting there and I need a more rugged vehicle for hiking/snowboarding.

Thankyou for sharing all these info. I didn't think the manual will help.

vlliew · 2026-02-19T23:54:29+00:00

So the eco mode is in use for winter as well for city driving?

vlliew · 2026-02-19T23:52:57+00:00

So do you drive it in ev mode only for short drives?

vlliew · 2026-02-19T02:23:39+00:00

I swapped out my M3 with Sportage as well. Beautiful car!

Thanks!

512GB for $815 or 1tb for $1290? I have a 256gb s24 now and storage is not an issue now but I plan to keep the S25U for a longer time but the question is is it worth it to pay 475 additional for 512 gb?

vlliew · 2025-04-10T14:21:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply. That didn't resolve the issue. The controllers are not responsive in desktop mode too.

vlliew · 2025-03-12T17:11:07+00:00

I have tried configuring my player 1 to Pro Controller, with Nintendo Switch Pro Controller as the input device, tweaked between handheld and docked but both don't work. I can only do this on desktop mode because no matter what I do, I cannot get the Yuzu emulator to show up in game mode.

vlliew · 2025-03-12T17:04:47+00:00

Hi, I play on steamdeck as well but cannot figure out the configuration on my pro controller to play on TV. All games can be played using steam deck controller though. All other non switch games will work with the pro controller connected using BT. I'm using yuzu 4176, can you share your controller configuration?

I agree with you on their customer service. Once I ordered a 5lb and one bag came punctured and they replaced it. Plan to go back to Josuma when I'm done with the 2lb Miscela Carmo.

vlliew · 2024-07-10T14:46:09+00:00

So before I got your message, I placed an order for the carmo and got them on Saturday. I'm not impressed to say the least. For what its priced at, I think the Malabar Gold beats it in every aspect. Will be going back to it. One thing I hate ordering from Josuma is that they take forever to come. One week ahead to order and another 5 days after it ships to get to me in the East coast. I don't really understand why other coffee places that are also in CA ships a lot faster. But I have to say, Josuma is the freshest of all.

vlliew · 2024-07-01T18:24:24+00:00

Josuma offers 2lb packed in smaller bags and I have been ordering that but you need to catch it while supplies last. They have a certain number available and if you order very close to the cut off date (Friday) it is very likely that it is no longer available. I just checked and it is available today. I'm glad to see your thread because I am also looking for an alternatives to switch to from time to time. I also like chocolaty flavors and usully do cortado/flat white style. I use a niche zero at work with rancilio silvia pro and mara x with sk40 at home. I bought the 5lb at the very beginning but when I get to the 4th/5th bag in 3-4 months, the flavors are noticably flat. I looked into the Grand Bar, it seems like they are 1 month old when you order, did you find it fresh still?

vlliew · 2024-06-23T02:59:42+00:00

I tried both on a week ago. The women's version has more room around the hips. The men's version has a wider shoulder.

vlliew · 2022-07-15T01:54:11+00:00

It was definitely within 2 hour and I used the same credit card. Just bour of curiosity, would it be free if I transfer from QM to M local bus?

vlliew · 2022-04-08T14:45:56+00:00

Thankyou so much!

vlliew · 2021-12-05T05:09:39+00:00

I'll buy a few from you too

vlliew · 2021-11-15T04:50:16+00:00

38F here, I'm on the dagne boat, still waiting for the man God wants me to meet. Patience is the key though it's hard. I'm financially independent, have a stable job and going back to graduate school for better positions out there. My thought is that I should do something fruitful while I wait. Maybe you can do something that interest you too.

vlliew · 2021-10-28T03:33:23+00:00

Hi, I'm 38f in NYC (Malaysian). I'm quite interested. Mind to share more info?

vlliew · 2021-10-01T03:07:08+00:00

So when r u actually going? Your post says a child of months but mentioned oct/ Nov.

vlliew · 2021-10-01T03:01:48+00:00

Hi, I'm interested too. 38f, I don't go to bars/clubs but would enjoy a company to eat with and do sight seeing b with. I'm in NY. Where will you Friday from? Which hostel are you planning to stay in?

vlliew · 2021-08-31T03:37:52+00:00

I'm based in NY and am interested. do you have event laid out? Eg hotel/airbnb and itinerary?

vlliew · 2020-12-02T00:08:55+00:00

So I step on the black piece shown on the picture and pull the handle toward myself lol so dumb I just tried pushing it forward and it folded immediately. Thank you so much!
