2019 Info

[KiaofMuncie]

I can now see port stock ,30 days out and 45 days out for GT2 only. You will NOT see HiChroma red in initial launch for 2019. KIA has more 18s in HiChroma looking for a home. I am requesting 2 sold orders when things open up. If anyone else wants in text me.

And from what I see if correct Micro Blue is making a return in GT2!

 

[Tonezorz]

Can you possibly verify if the ventilated seats in fact made it to the Premium / GT1 trims or if that bit seems to have been changed from the Kia Academy doc a couple months back? Everything else seems to have made it?

'GT2 only' means GT2 RWD or both (AWD and RWD)?

Any idea how much work is done on a Stinger at the port?

@KiaofMuncie Are the same lease incentives still in place for the 2019s?

Well, I know certain things are done at the port to make the car ready for delivery to the dealer. I just wondering the scope of the work.

Usually accessories can be added at port

Jason,
the 2019s are now on kia.com, and the remote start is an available option. I don't know how it works on your end, but I really want that included.

... and, yes, children - uncle eflyguy is (finally) about to become a Stinger owner.

Keep in mind the remote start is a separate key/box in itself. I cannot believe in 2018 KIA cannot combine this with the main key fob as big as it is.

I have the OEM remote start (self installed) on my 2018 GT2. I actually don't even use the FOBs that it comes with. You can program your existing Key Fob (Detonator type) to work with remote start with no issues whatsoever. It actually comes with instructions on how to program.

Sounds good that I don't have to carry two fobs. Also, how much complex was the installation? How much did you pay for parts?

$320 on eBay and the directions that came with it are easy enough to understand. It's just a matter of doing the work which may take longer because you're scared of pulling kick panels off but everything went well. Took about an hour and a half, if i wasn't hesitant, maybe less than an hour.

The specs state that the heated steering wheel is optional, even for the GT2, but it is not included on the Options selection page. I hope that it being an option is a misprint in the spec sheet.

OEM remote start works off of the Stinger key fob. I never used the fibs dedicated to the remote start.
