I was able to apply the update and use Android auto...but I don't see the appeal of it. I can't access essential apps, like Plugshare, and it requires that Google Music be installed, although I will never use it. Although I understand that the purpose of it is to keep hands on wheels, there is...

I had made an estimate of the cost via our electric company website -- they have a kwh calculator and post their rates -- but the HOA presented me with the fee at the meeting I attended (to discuss EV charging). Since it was less than my estimate, I gladly accepted the extra charge. My estimate...

I'm in the same situation -- HOA, community outlet in stall, etc. -- and I've recently made a deal with the HOA to pay an additional charge to my monthly dues to use the outlet. I've read some horror stories in other forums, so I highly suggest contacting the HOA immediately, just to set...

I've been monitoring the other gauges to see if my Kia is experiencing the same problems -- I only have 17000 miles on it so far -- and none of them seem to agree with each other. My energy consumption has been stable at 4.3 mi/kwh throughout the past fall and winter, but the GOM has downgraded...

Thanks again, for the explanations, folks. I've read that multi-family dwellings had issues with installing EVSEs, but I had no idea that each EV owner would need to have their own dedicated outlet to charge their car; it's impractical in this situation. It's ironic that the environment that is...

Thank you for the explanations. I don't understand why the car isn't able to adjust the charge rate to prevent tripping the circuit. At a quick-charger, I see the amount of charge goes down after 80% but the car continues to charge. What would be different if there was a change in power at a...

Yes, I was referring to the level 1 trickle charger that came with the Soul. So, by notfred's explanation, I just need to add the amps together? So jejusoul can charge 4 EVs on his 50A circuit? If it's not obvious already, I have very little understanding of electrical systems. :(

A resident at my condo recently bought a Leaf, and, I assume, has been tripping the circuit breaker when we charge our cars at the same time. I've read a couple sites that say that an EV should have a dedicated circuit to charge, but none of them explain how many EVs a circuit can handle. A two...

Update #2: I don't know if it's related (or how it's related), but the traffic overlay on the nav map doesn't appear anymore, saying that I have to contact Sirius to activate. I use Google Maps to navigate usually, so I didn't notice the change until recently.

Update: Fortunately, other than the Sirius XM tab now going into demo mode, I haven't noticed any changes to my UVO setup; it went away quietly. Whew!

Jeff42, I have a slight update to that post, as I recently found out the energy consumption meter was giving me "optimistic" numbers because it was auto-resetting as a default. Since I turned off the auto-reset, my mi/kwh numbers have dropped and stayed around 4.3. I also found out that driving...

The card is only a one-stop card for memberships, so you don't have to carry a bunch of cards. Even if you had the ez card, you'd still have to register with each network, so my suggestion would be to register with all available networks in your area separately, request cards, and download their...

Definitely guilty of this...but I sometimes end up spinning in place due to the "ultra-low drag" wheels that were installed on my car. :oops:

The only time I see the analog clock is when I turn off the console display. In the setup menu, there's a screensaver setting where you can choose between a blank screen or the analog clock.

That sounds awful...especially when I just passed the 2-month mark on my Kia! I think the "optional" upgrade refers to the uvo system and maps...which they inexplicably mail on an sd card. I would hate to have to bring in the car regularly for firmware updates. Thank you for reporting this...

After doing a little more digging online, I found a guy who had a glitchy uvo system -- bluetooth issues -- so he hit the reset button. I was afraid that i'd lose all my settings in the process, but that seemed to do the trick...and nothing was lost. So, it's fixed for now. I have a scheduled...

A couple days ago, I received an error message on the UVO app -- "Unable to communicate with your vehicle. Please try again later" -- so I can no longer check status/location via phone or the UVO website. I contacted Kia, and they claim it is my network connection, which it isn't, since I tried...

Well, that's awfully compassionate of you folks. Drivers in the US seem to take a lot of pride in how far their doors swing open. I blame baseball.

I can also see some blue tabs near the seams of the door; maybe 2 side camera/sensors? Auto-parking is great, but that's ICE-tech. ;)

I wish I could answer this, since that was the color I was looking for as well. The dealership told us that they didn't make them in that color. Translation: "Choose from what we have in stock, buddy." To give him the benefit of the doubt, I assumed he was referring to 2015 models, so I made...
