July 19, 2024 at 9:20 pm #285292Kia app not too impressive ,what are your thoughts .
July 19, 2024 at 9:58 pm #285294Kia app isn’t good not coming from Mercedes ME app. Also my front parking sensors don’t work I need to press the button for them to come on, iv not had time to play about with the settings but on reverse the sensors come on.
also my sunroof blind rattles and so annoying but the drive is great and very comfortable compared to a CLA
July 19, 2024 at 10:12 pm #285295I wonder if the latest Bluelink will work on Kia’s as it offers a “very” few differences but, enough to make it an upgrade. That said thet are more geared to EV’s.
July 19, 2024 at 10:18 pm #285296The kia app is cheep nasty ,last night i had msgs on it ,engine still running do you want valet mode ????. So i went to check ,wasnt running ,dont think it will lock if engine running. I had problem with rear sensors ,but, i have learnt all settings now ,so should function now, ive taught myself all settings in car which is quite extensive , voice cammands work but are not extensive, tomorrow i will use cruse control adaptive , lane keep & lane assist. I dont like parking with all round view ,im happy use big wing mirrors, i do love the car though ,only few odd bits.
July 19, 2024 at 10:23 pm #285297Its great how spotify comes through speaker system , couldnt watch utube video on screen previouse sportages , but will check it out sometime , pass on if it does. I have no ambient light in front of passenger , alot sportages do ??? no horn toot on locking .

July 19, 2024 at 10:27 pm #285300Yes lane assist is good as i do alot of motorway driving i done 70k on the CLA.
But the front sensors is annoying need to send it back to them to check them out I am not having it u need to press the button for them to work.
overall car is great but app is rubbish, cant lock ur doors or even track the car when moving like Mercedes ME.
July 19, 2024 at 10:27 pm #285301The ambient lighting on my sportage is not very bright even turned up to 10 brightness ,small thing.
Theres alot you can turn on in settings, i think when cars built ,checks made that things function, but items are left on & some off in settings. When car sent out ,dealership maybe should of done that ,but drivers want some on some off.

That will be interesting! However I expect it will have to be an app mirrowing YT and running through some like android auto.

Never had a car that leave’s the fron’t sensors on as default! Imagine in slow bumber to bumber traffic, adding an extra layer of beeps to the equasion 😂
July 19, 2024 at 10:35 pm #285304Yes its not a Mercedes (which have better ambient lighting than BMW) but there is some but poor but thats fine waste a time anyway. Here a picture of mine.
July 19, 2024 at 10:41 pm #285305Iv tested Kezo on a fence and with a person I am not stupid, and either are you,
my front sensors do not recognise anyone or anything in front of the car as I said i need to press the button then it comes on. Iv looked in settings when I had the time and nothing really in it about front sensors, could be a simple fault. But annoying
also you said in your txt what car leaves the front sensors on as default that wasn’t what I was asking or saying. LOL

To specify a little more
To enable front sensors you have to press the button as I also have to do on my BMW however, the front and rear sensors come on automatically when in reverse or by using remote park assist.
Try section 7 of the manual or the first few pages in the manual where it highlights what each button is for and give’s page reference number/s.
Or
July 20, 2024 at 12:11 am #285315Cheers Kezo
so what I was saying was correct you need to press it in to turn on front sensor all cars iv had you didn’t need to do this including if you don’t have a left hand to turn it bloody on.
July 20, 2024 at 12:20 am #285319Cheers Kezo so what I was saying was correct you need to press it in to turn on front sensor all cars iv had you didn’t need to do this including if you don’t have a left hand to turn it bloody on.
Turn it on with your rt hand and hope it stays on, if not wedge it with a small piece of card. I had to do that with my previos Tuscon autohold button lol.
July 20, 2024 at 12:24 am #285320Ahh cheers Kezo,
I don’t have a right hand either (dont have any hands) use a stylist to txt with my mouth 😂 but will try that its a bloody great car I do like it.
July 20, 2024 at 8:05 am #285324Well thats great thing about forum ,can help eachother ,well put kezo. Ive learnt there too.
July 20, 2024 at 9:45 am #285331Ahh cheers Kezo, I don’t have a right hand either (dont have any hands) use a stylist to txt with my mouth

I’m running out of easy idea’s without sounding offensive, as all disabilitys differ!
If it doesn’t stay on after restart get a faily member or friend wedge a small bit of card for you.
How easy is it to use the 360 camera’s? There must be something that can be done to easily enable the fron’t camera when in drive.
Edit what might be an option, speak with Motability abit reprogramming the parking sensor button as on by default. This is in Kia’s capability, so is disabling the froont sensor beeps, so no getting false triggers in city traffic and relying on the on screen display closeness lights?
July 20, 2024 at 4:51 pm #285348Cheers Kezo, I will just get someone to wedge down the parking button that prob the best idea, and no you u don’t sound offensive.
thanks for your help and knowledge.
July 20, 2024 at 7:53 pm #285350When I push the sensor button and the light is on they stay on
