How do you add another user?
The volume controls suck! really hard to adjust volume up and down without getting the "pause', which is controlled by the same button!
Thanks. Just want to add that it can be a bad idea leaving the wiper arm pointing vertical with no blade on and not holding it. I've seen one accidentally snap back down and smash a windscreen like this. Always hold, or have somebody else hold the arm when in vertical position while no blade fitted.
Thank you so much it works
Any tip, I can play video on a VW caddy 2022 model

So it doesn't work for phones that are not IPhone's ?
You should ALWAYS put a thick towel down on the window below where the wiper arm makes contact with the glass. I speak from experience. One bump when the arm is up =cracked windshield. This video makes me so nervous watching it. thanks for making it though!
do you know what the rating of the charger was? A 150 KW or 350 KW? I only ask because on my ev9 I have gotten as high as 220 KW.
Thank you! Adapter 4, for the win!!
04:20 Thank you.
Cân you add apk files or other android app files on your system?
Why does everything need a 4 minute video to explain one simple 5 second task? I just needed to know how to extend the wipers, I don't need a whole documentary.
This is great. Can you explain how can I turn off the screens while in this mode? Say, if I go to a drive-in theater and need the front area dark
You cannot turn off the screen unfortunately.
You can dim the screens - if you select “Dim Interior lighting” it will switch off the screen as well during Utility Mode.
Usually it works but today it didn't work😢
oh no! Do let us know what happened.
useless if you have to hold the steering wheel. so stupid
You can adjust the pressure required to push the haptic buttons. There is an option in the infotainment.
Thanks! no one told me this!!
Pretty cool. My 10 year old Tesla does the same thing.
Cool I can drive 425 miles and stop for 2 and a half minutes and drive for another 400 miles. 😊
I would charge at home never travel long distance just local trips the infrastructure not ready yet
Mine still doesn't work, it's brand new German car but it's very disappointing and frustrating cos, rear camera, cooling and heating, radio, player nothing works, I can't see the speed, how many miles left, WTF???
Do u solve the problem i have the same issue
در مورد هزینه ها و شرایط مربوط به عوض کردن لاستیک ها و تعمیر و نگهداریهم میشه توضیح بدین؟😅
where did you get this one at?
Thanks! I like seeing your EV9 videos, keep them coming please.
Thanks, will do!
Never knew!
Greetings from Germany. Would you prefer driving in B or D mode? D feels more natural/logical, right?
Do all trims have electronically opened charging doors?
OMG IT WORKS!!!!!! Thanks so much saves me going in for repair. I’d tip you if I could.
Hi, I am proud new owner of Land AWD, and love every bit of it, Kia designer did amazing job designing this vehicle but made some stupid DUMB mistakes, let me write down here: 1). Yes the drive shifter and on off knob should have been else where or at least could have made it bit angled and curvy like old Ford vehicle has, I got used to now and it is okay. 2)Temperature control screen always hide but I just learn to lean forward to get a glimpse, after all we do not change it much often, I mostly drive it in driver only mode. 3) No walk away lock? really, you will have to touch the loxk on the handle or use the key, I never used the keyfob ( ever) and only use the digital key on my Apple watch and iPhone- I think Kia can enable the walk away lock through software uodate as car already have the hardware, it unlocks when you walk towards the car. 4) as you mentioned Kia should have probite a bit storage by the cup holder, the bottom section is good but I find it difficult to use it, at least they could have make the cup holder section little bit lift up where user can raise the section to store the things in bottom space. 5) Cool seat option, I have to enable every time I drive jin hot weather, it should be on Auto. 6) steering control is on wrong side, after driving over 12+ vehicles, I have never seen Audio knob on right side, most of the time it is on left side and your Cruise and lane assist is mostly on right side? 7) lock sensor should have been on all door handle, it is only on 2 front door?
I don't mind any of these five points. Glossy buttons are great, matte ones get scratched soon and it's ugly. I'm bothered by the moving recuperation paddles with the steering wheel. I had a Mitsubishi PHEV and there the paddles were stationary, it was more practical.
Great! These are just minor points for sure. I am enjoying my EV9.
Wow Thank you. I was going crazy jajaja😂
glad that helped
Thanks for information.
Any time
Do you find the SETUP Haptic Touch button needs to be pressed harder than the other Haptic Touch buttons in order to work?
I think they are all equality hard to press!
Yes! There was a setting somewhere under “buttons” that let me change the entire bar to a lighter touch. It helped a little, but the Setup button is still the hardest one.
Helpful but too repetitive.
I get nervous merging onto the highway cuz cars go so fast. Will it help with that, like can it sense the other cars coming?
I would NOT use this for merging at all. Too dangerous!
Hi. I am leasing an EV 9 GT Line. You point out some great features. I like the super fast charging of around 210 kW to around 70% SOC before it slowly tapers off. The big battery of 99.x kWh makes it a great road tripper, though consumption gets high at 130 km/h. Our biological needs for pit stops councide with the battery’s needs so it’s not an inconvenience.
agreed. And I really enjoy the fast(er) charging compare to my ID4.
I didn't realize that 3rd rows need to be folded to install the cargo cover before buying one
Folding them down just make it much easier to do.
@@EVTipsAndTricksI mean, I didn’t realize we cannot use 3rd row if the cargo cover is installed
@@savageg2002 Ah ok. I understand now. You are right. With the 3rd row seat in use, there isn't that much space behind so no need for a cover? Maybe that's why.
Yes,, long distance travel is troublesome. I never take 1 hour break to destination. 30 mins charge to gain 150 mile... that's terrible for any situation.. WAKE UP,,EV trolls.
The seller told me that it was for charging mode so he didn't have any knowledge...
that's terrible!
Long story short… I’ve heard of other vehicles who can ‘throttle back’ or lower their kw’s that their car is pulling through their car charging app. Does Kia have such an option?
If not needed it can be stowed away in the compartment in the trunk. Same as the EV6
Wait what!!? I got to try that! Thanks so much for that info
Yes, most SUV can do that
So can we use that fast charging everyday ? Is it bad for the battery life after all
It is technically bad for the battery to do fast charging all the time and top it up at 100% all the time.
Unless it's a LFP chemistry. You can charge those to 100% once a week.
If the car is off and charging, then I press the brake and turn on the car, is it using high voltage batteries and is the climate on? When I tried this the AC didn't seem to be cooling the interior. I read somewhere else that if I were say charging at a charge station, I could pull up to a charger and without turning off, the car plug in the car, get back in at the climate would be working.
In your scenerio it should work meaning the AC does work. At summer time certainly need that while waiting for the car to be charged up.
Can you replace the rubber blade section like on many other cars, rather than the whole piece? I got a fright yesterday when I bought new blades for my VW Amarok @ $70 aussie dollars. Crazy price when my last vehicle cost $20 to replace wipers
I do not know! Maybe someone else can comment.
Is it unlocked wen driving
No. I cannot get it to work if the car is being driven.
Nice video. I do like those door handles over the paddle ones that the EV 6 has. I think I like the regular old non aerodynamic handles best, but these a cool. I also like the steering wheel and the controls on it. Nice scroll wheels and real buttons. Vehicle to load just another way Kia and Hyundai are hitting it out of the park with their EV’s.
Totally agree
Have the 2024 and love it. Plenty of rabbits around and haven't had any issues lol. As good as it is, I'll still be trading it when the Rivian R2 comes out.
Actually I put the deposit down for the R2 as well. At this point it's all timing. R2 or ID Buzz next.
How have these held up since installing them?
Very well -- I use my car every day and often go play pickleball outdoors, so dragging a bit of mud and dirt on the floor. Easily vacuum out once dry.
Incredibly useful. Just about to go to garage for a diagnostic test for which they would have charged £140!!!!
glad I saved you some money!
Ok B mode the regenerative braking is in action to regenerate de battery ?
yes. In general the car will try to regenerate the battery on "braking". In B mode it does it more because the minute you lift the foot off the accelerator it assumes you want to decelerate.
Does this also work with Waze, and if so, how?
