Kia EV6

They are doing the same with the ioniq 5 introducing the platinum under the premium plus spec. Has the best high spec like vision roof and driver aids but HDA 1.5 instead of HDA 2.

Drops V2L but that can be brought after market.

Being a sister car would make sense EV6 will do likewise.

The HDA bit is confusing, both Irish versions where missing the side radar so had a lower HDA than the UK equivalent. I'd say the thing that gets pulled will be the heat pump.

The heat pump is becoming fairly standard now even on might range cars. I'd say the half glass roof would go before the heat pump.

Thats really weird! Im on S21 and same thing happens - once im switched to mobile network kia app stops working. However on old S10+ all worked like a charm! Now I know its not an isolated incident. Would it be a common glitch with random Samsung branded phones? Wonder would any software updates could resolve this issue🤔 So far I was unable to find any resolution online :(

Good thinking. I'm with 48.ie.

1 year. July 2023 if order placed this month

Got my first recall letter this morning, recall number 221058 Shifter Control Unit (SCU)

What would you say to them?

Maybe they peruse boards! 😊

As an aside, only checked last night if the trucker's strike got sorted in South Korea. Looks like it ended last Wednesday or so.

One less reason for delayed deliveries at least!

My usual request of "get your finger out with the update that allows battery preconditioning when I navigate to an Ionity charger" is still number 1 priority.

But it's the little things that would benefit from some polish (the stuff you only find out after using the car daily): like what is causing my user profile (in car) to forget some of my settings and returning to the default settings (say icon placement on the main screen returns to the default position every now and then; I've ZERO use for taking voice memo notes while driving so I don't want it on my home screen).

It still bugs me that the "Driver 2" profile name won't ever save (it's returns to "Driver 2" or "user 2" once the car is turned off).

In an ideal world I'd like to be able to "child lock" the rear seat heaters (like with the rear windows) - my kids are in booster seats but still put the seat warmers on for the laugh.

Maybe if i'm being picky let me choose the colour of the ambient lighting assigned to each drive mode, this isn't important I know but why not.

Assuming the major issues get tackled (pre-heating and pre-conditioning of the battery), I can live with the minor irks (as I assume they're not reading this goldmine of a boards thread).

I wouldn’t be worried about it tbh, I would suggest you book it in today and in the unlikely event of something happens before job is done I doubt you would be left out of pocket as Kia have acknowledged the fault in writing and you have the job scheduled.

I left mine parked up for 2 weeks recently while out of country and it did not move an inch!

Mine is going in next Friday & I was told there are 3 updates in total that will be completed at same time, so it will take about 2 hours.

I called about updates about 2 months ago to ask if there were any updates for HVAC, I was told they had 2 ECU updates listed for my car at that time but dealer had no info on what they were for, so I did not book it in.

I think I read somewhere (could have been here) that one of the updates in last few months engaged the active cooling shutters on front bumper, I hope that is the case for me and that will hopefully solve an issue I get when windows can quickly steam up on a long drive while heat or A/C are on.

On to mine today, says I've two updates due but couldnt tell me what the second was. Can I ask, does the remote parking work for other folks?

I've tried the one were you sit in the car and it parallel parks, but I've yet to be brave enough to get out of the car and let it parallel park while I hold the keyfob. It's pretty good but it like a big space (and therefore isn't much of a benefit over doing it yourself).

I do enjoy using the key to move the car a bit further forward in the driveway which it's too far from the charger, it saves many seconds compared to getting into the car to do it.

This is my understanding, only on the GT Line model (extra cameras/sensors I guess)

As far as I know GT Line model key fob has those functions to operate the car remotely, Earth model doesnt have that extra
