Is there a link to a thread for the sunroof fix, or could you provide some quick details here? Only rattles I have so far is the passenger seat belt flopping against the B-pillar when no one is using it (same annoyance that at least 50% of all cars have), and the passenger seat itself has some...

They also equipped the European Car of the Year candidates (driven by journalists for the competition) with one that we believe was not the Aussie version. Suggests it is coming for other markets (should have been a factory option everywhere from the outset!).

I made no comments about others' driving habits. The reality is that human engineers designed the system to be modulated by drivers. We can argue that they did a bad job and it's too sensitive, but don't (others) suggest to me that some outrageous ask is being made of drivers to press a brake...

Agree. And for the 93-98 Octane, please also clarify the English: "Re-gapping" is no must." If re-gapping is required then it is "a must." If re-gapping is not required, then it is "not required."

Unless you plan to elaborate what those things are, you are the one who shouldn't be replying again. Vague and meaningless posts are a waste of everyone's time.

Good luck with that. Car companies are basing fuel economy test results (that have more than a typical amount of time stopped) with ISG on and none will allow it to be turned off else they won't get their economy ratings. I also didn't realize that stopping the car with the brake pedal was...

Yes, applying only enough braking to stop the car is definitely considered bad driving. I am sorry.

LOL!!!!!!! My driving method?!?! I think it's the normal driving method the engineers of the car assumed average people would be using. This isn't personal.

Is varying the brake pedal pressure really that hard? I love keeping a light touch on the brakes and preventing ISG from triggering. I then only occasionally have to jam the pedal down when I anticipate an extra long stop. You guys are all jamming the brake pedal unnecessarily hard all the...

I thought it was clear that the problem occurs with or without chip. KIA should pay, but instead they are putting a sticker over the fuel requirements in the owner's manual saying "premium recommended." They already updated other materials to say that a long while back.

So MP3's sort properly by song number in Album mode? This is a FLAC and WMA issue? I don't think so, but will await word from someone who uses MP3's.

Well, even if you do the dumbest, low-effort ripping of using WMP, it sorts by album, and any MP3 software does the same. It would seem they just missed a routine related to the other file extensions.

It has nothing to do with MP3, unless you are telling me that MP3s do sort by song number under Album. If they do, then it confirms 100% it is a simple software bug. They forgot to add the other compatible (and that play perfectly) extensions besides MP3 to the sorting code.

I doubt you'll find one that does not. The question is why (or even how) does the Stinger's mulitmedia system manage to ignore those numbers when browsing by Album?

I was just using Windows Media Player, but thought there was a problem, so tested CUE Ripper. Now I have to go back and try the WMP-ripped files, because they probably work the same way. The problem is the car, not which software you use. As I said, is there a ripper in the world that doesn't...

I just realized that if you go in via "Files" instead of "Album," it works normally. So definitely a bug since, as mentioned, there is no reason anyone would want alphabetical order when in album mode and the songs already have properly numbered file names. Is there any ripping software that...

HK audio system. USB stick synchronized with Windows Media Player lossless files. The good news is that the music sounds great. The bad news is that the system is displaying songs on albums in alphabetical order instead of the proper order. The song files themselves (when you look on the...

Step 1 - resist playing with equalizer-like settings that do nothing but distort the original recordings Step 2 - ensure the faders are set to dead centre and leave them there permanently...any movement from dead centre distorts the original recording and may mess with the bass/sub cross-over...

They know as much or more as any other auto publication. And, since they accept no advertising and buy all their own test vehicles anonymously instead of being hosted and coddled by the manufacturers, I would believe their reviews over any traditional commercial publication. If you pay...

The light versus heavier pressure on the brake pedal means that you don't need to disable ISG every time you get in the car, or ever for that matter. It's also great training to learn how lightly you need to apply the brakes to hold the car stopped--answer: very lightly. If and when you want...
