KIA EV9 Lower Center Console Organizer Review
มุมมอง 7352 หลายเดือนก่อน
Since the EV9 is relatively new there are not a lot of accessories available for it just yet. I got this lower console organizer to see if it will help add organization to my Wind model EV9. You can get this organizer here (affiliated link): amzn.to/3TVqS6D

VW ID4 in Cold Weather, how to use the Climate Control system
Incredibly useful. Just about to go to garage for a diagnostic test for which they would have charged £140!!!!
Ok B mode the regenerative braking is in action to regenerate de battery ?
Does this also work with Waze, and if so, how?
Very nit picky. There are good reasons for everything you don't like.
Amazing instruction,, very straightforward. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
dumb question perhaps but I have zero EV experience - can you plug this into a normal wall socket (even if it will take like 30-40 hours)?
Yes you can but it will take a very long time
EVs slow charging down from 80-100 %. The closer you get to 100 the slower it gets. To my understanding this is to protect the battery. This is why they quote 10-80 % when saying fast charging. Also your supposedly not supposed fo charge the car to 100 % often.
Agreed
very strange; in the netherlands I get often 200 kW. even 206 seen.
Our charging stations probably is not as good as
Hey, picked up my EV9 2 days ago (btw, I have pebble grey too, it's slick color!) my version does not have few options you mentioned there, for example I cannot put "EV" under Favorites on the Navigation panel (below infotainment screen), I can't find that locking/unlocking option either. But I can set proper profile picture for driver's profile (it will fetch picture set in Kia Connect), but your video is 3 months old so maybe this option will come to your car via some OTA. Btw I am from Central Europe.
oh no, your colour is that iceberg or arctic green or whatever they call it...
that's right. Arctic green. The US model is slightly different from the EU version I am sure. Hope you are enjoying the car!
@@EVTipsAndTricks hey after TMY, it's like poor man's Mercedes GLS, the comfort is quite good. One thing which bothers me is shaking/vibrating steering wheel during highway speeds. Checked some reddit threads about that so I am considering to report it at my dealer.
I can’t see my HUD.
I wish I had a HUD 😀
Very helpfull, I gues this also works for golf 8 gti?
well. shoot. i already connected my phone to the guest profile. Is there a way to delete that?
Yes you can add and delete profiles all day. Just a bit of a pain.
You say you plugged it in the night before and this is the next morning. But exactly how many hours did it actually take to get you that 100 miles?
About 10 hours. I get about 10-12 miles per hour depending on the weather and my SoC.
Not all models have this feature
I have S trim, has all this
Thanks! It was very easy to follow your instructions, and it worked!
Glad to hear
I am having recurring problems with the electrical system error in my 21 Pro S. VW can not replicate failure and has had the car for 2 months. What was resolution to your issue?
😢😢😢 im in iraq Baghdad. My car not work same this video. Drive inverter problem.
My wiring was damaged by rodents
Great overview.
Thanks!
thanks, good tips
Glad it was helpful!
Did you put on a screen protector?
No. The car is primarily driven just by myself and I am pretty careful. However that screen is a finger print magnet.
Been enjoying your videos. Hope to take delivery of my EV9 soon. Why did you choose this version with the cupholders vs no cupholders? Did you feel you need more cup holders?
I do need more cup holders!!!
Just had that problem and big thanks it worked
Glad it helped
What idiot would consider this is something that will sell our cars. To recap: you take your hand up to signal, but you are happy you didn't have to move you hand another inch to slightly move the steering wheel
I bought EV9 Land recently. Your videos helped me get prepped up to setup and drive knowing the features. Thank you so much. Will buy this handy one too.
Great to hear!
I dont think thats a lv 2 charger? Looks like the one the dealer gives u with purchase. It's taking to long to charge with the standard cord. Any recommendations on witch lv2 i should buy for my ev9? Thank u
It is a 220V L2 charger. I bought it for my ID4. This video talks a lot more about it th-cam.com/video/oHhz8GXYkpc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1ZP8QKUSzS29UzOK . Because I do not have the AMP, even at 220V it is not charging as fast as I like, but I get 100 miles of range overnight.
👍🏾 Good choiceI just bought one of these for my EV9 a few days ago.
Great!
100% agree with your first 3 points. Not deal breakers, but could be better. I don't mind the center console as it has lots of storage under it accessible from the 2nd row. I find I am able to store everything I need up front under the arm rest, down on the floor, in the driver's door, and in the glove box l. I don't mind the shiny buttons at all.
Thanks for sharing that!
Question, why would you put the wiper in this position?
Here in New England when it snow it is easier to clear the windshield that way
Next question… why would you post a vertical video where most of what you’re trying to show is not visible in the frame?
Thanks again for this video. I just installed these icons in 5 minutes, moving slowly, thanks to you. Undoubtedly would have taken me two hours of dumb frustration otherwise 😅
Good to hear
I’m picking up my EV9 GT Line in the Ice Green color tomorrow. My pick up video coming soon after 👏🏾
Nice!
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
So does the car need to be plugged in for the “pre conditioning” to work?
Thanks for explaining! I was wondering the same thing!
It took me while to figure it out!
great ideas/demo/settings but recommend turning off autofocus in your camera when you recording something from a fixed distance (screen) focus breathing too much unnecesarily
Noted!
I know you’ve moved on to a Kia but I’m grateful for these videos now that I’m two hours in to driving an ID4!
Thanks! I actually still have the id4 but not sure what to do yet
Does the heated steering wheel heat the whole thing or just sections, like 3 and 9 o'clock? Does it have a security camera system like Tesla or Rivian?
Just sections!
@@EVTipsAndTricks Well that sucks! Believe it or not, that's a deal breaker for me. It gets cold in Chicago and I NEED my whole steering wheel heated.
For the ID4? Do you still have that, or did the Kia replace it?
I have both right now!
You can add profile pick from app on phone
In MA we cannot use the app!
Thank you so much 😊
You're welcome 😊
You need to get out more!
I do, now that have the EV9!
Can you lock the car when in utility mode?
Good question! I am going to try and report back.
No you cant. Dog mode is completly missing. Im wondering if the remote start of the heating system is using the 12V or useses as well the highvoltage battery pack
Too bad! I hope they will fix this!
Does utility mode activate HVAC and can it be used for camping?
You have to open the driver Windows, get out of the car . Put your arms in the car and press lock door button and press the close the Windows button.
I just walk away from my Tesla Y and it locks itself. From 2.6 year I haven’t used any key , why the hell we need key fobs when my mobile is the key. From last few days I was driving my sister KIA Telluride and it just locks the vehicle after a min even other passengers are in the car and then seat honking. Jelly pi***ed with that. Even can’t fill the gas, every min I had to unlock the vehicle. Never see this crap in any other vehicle.
I also want auto lock. Someone mentioned it is available but not in the US model? I am not sure.
Use steering wheel left side button (icon with pages). Switch to page where you consumption on you cluster. Use up and down button and Scroll to the bottom. There you will find wornings. Press ok to see what warnings you have.
I will try that!
Manual says: Master warning light appears when there is a malfunction in various vehicle functions. To identify the details of the warning, refer to the LCD display warning message.
@rudiemur I have EV9 for two months now. For example, when cameras and sensors (including radar) are blocked by snow, you will receive 9 warnings. Each working will be mentioned in the instrument cluster and after there will amber warning light with number of active warnings. Using method I described you can review each warning separately. If there is only one warning, same method must be used.
Bar shows your speed and dot - speed limit. 🙆♂️
ok I am going to test that out!
No that’s clearly the space for the mph it’s telling you where your speed limit is at because it turns red when you go over the speed limit
Correct...
You are right! Time for a correction / new video. Thanks
how is the route planning compared to the ID4?
thats legit on every car LMAO
I don't have that on my VW ID4!
thats wild
@EVTipsAndTricks it's on my 2018 Audi Q7
Oil change and tire rotation
That would definitely not be it :-)
so did you pay over MSRP? Our local Kia in Folsom wanted 10k over MSRP!
I paid MSRP. Or rather leased at MSRP. The money factor is ok, not great but market rate. KIA suppose to strongly discourage dealers to mark up the car so just go elsewhere.
Congratulations!😊
Thank you!! 😊
On a Wind to these profiles allow for seat position recall?
In the US, the Wind does NOT have memory seats. I really wish they have.
Agree it is crazy that with the cost of the wind it doesn't have memory seats, and or the profiles can't adjust the seats@@EVTipsAndTricks
