• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Access to "engineering mode"

Interesting - the Aussie stinger does not have that Wi-Fi icon; nor UVO; or even that HD radio & Sirrus decals on the dash.
 
Curious, anybody make any further headwind in seeing what we can do with this?

Settings that perhaps could be added by getting into engineering mode and changing the location. Im sure it will affect other settings, like radio, etc. But you can always revert back once access to this mode is discovered.

I have tried everything since mine was updated but I can’t access that mode. Not sure if I’m doing it right. They may have got wise to it and cut off the access with the update.
 
@AV8R did you see my previous post? - #45 - The access steps have changed, however I now don't know what the correct pin code is.

I did but have decided to stay away from messing around with it. Thanks anyway
 
Since the latest SatNav update; the original screen-saver method no longer works.

However the new process seems to be:
1) Go to Settings > Version
2) Tap 4 times on the Map text THEN tap the actual map version number. (Sequence also works against the firmware text & version number)
3) The PIN prompt then appears and now I now have no idea what it is. :(

1111 as seen on other Kia/Hyundai forums doesn't work (which tipped me off to this process)
0000, 1234, time in 12 & 24hr, date ddmm, mmdd, mmyy, same with the update date in similar fashion are all no go.
Hi mate did u figured out pin code by any chance?

Welcome to our stingerforum, which colour Stinger do you own, and where do you live in Australia ?

Sorry no. I have tried that already, I think that is for an older version of the software. In Australia the current version is 12.47.51.632.001.2 (V12.0)

I'd like to revisit this one. I have been trying to get further into the menu's but it seems locked out.

Anybody with a KIA tablet, can you see what might be lurking? I would love to see if there is a dyno mode on these cars.
 
I'm in :D

The new code is 2998

As per my post above; access via the settings > about menu. Click the "map" text 4 times; then click the map version number text.

The bad news is there's less options & no Android menu compared to last year's firmware.
