Re: Unrecognised Key Fob

Re: Relationship: Independent vs. dealer
At the Kwik Fit near me, it costs £70. They have Hunter and an older guy they hired for his expertise. It costs £70, but if they install it and everything is in spec, it's only £0—exactly the amount I spent!

Re: Online vs. USB Updates
While it may be simple for those with basic computer skills, it is still more work than simply letting the automobile do its thing. Even if I did, I doubt anybody would pay because I've only updated our Kias manually once in almost four years. If a fresh version is released, I might try to track dow...

Re: Online vs. USB Updates
Although there is no more update material, the OTA method is clearly far more convenient than dealing with downloads, USB sticks, and the car upload procedure.

Ouch! £500+VAT.
I am curious about the cost of the transfer case service.

Re: the E300de
Thanks to that carsize website, I learned that my SL is just around 1 kilogram lighter than my extremely hefty Tesla EV!

Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.
For the past three thousand miles, I've changed the oil and used synthetic. I asked for synthetic when it went in for its initial maintenance a few months back, but I have no idea what the dealer used. Although the "service soon" message is accompanied by an orange wrench instead of a red ...
