• 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!

Is anyone experiencing problems with the MY21 build Jan 21 with regards to Android Auto.
With my Samsung A8 everything was fine and worked great with last years MY20 model.
Now When I connect my phone by USB & on the car select Android Auto the radio sound goes to just the rear speakers, When I press the phone button on the car nothing works. all that works is the maps.
Is this a bug. I do have the latest Android Auto on my phone.
Help please
 
Sonic went in this morning for her 40,000 km service.
One of the Kia guys dropped me home, we chatted on the trip back. I asked if they had any Stingers in stock. Plenty of Seltos and new Stonics in the yard. Even a brand new Sorrento and Carnivale.
They have only one Stinger, a DCB, it is a demo. He said he hasn't driven it because it's hands off, they want to keep the kms low but are reluctant to sell it as it's the only one they have. He was saying a good mate wants to buy a Stinger and he's happy with the DCB so he is trying to help him out, but ordering one his mate has been told it's at least a 6 month wait.
He advised there will be one more upgrade for another gen Stinger and that maybe it. The Stingers aren't selling in the overseas markets as well as Kia hoped.

Maybe if they stop making them, they will go up in value like the high performance Commodores where prices have been rising since Holden closed. I heard about your speeding indiscretion too. Can't believe they give tickets for that sort of speed. Ridiculous. :mad:

On the letter it said detected speed 67, alleged speed 64 in a 60 zone, guess I’m cooked but I asked for a review and mentioned my clean driving record. No demerit points last 3 years so we will see what happens.
Vic is strict and like to sting us in the ole hip pocket for driving indiscretions.
Did you know that L platers if caught driving by themselves will get 5 years prison term ?
Thant’s a new one, just coming in.

If you write Vicroads an apology letter and mention your past driving record, they may drop the fine but you will still lose the points.
For them, it is all about the money.

By "one more addition" do you mean one more minor update (like the recent minor MY21 update)?

I didn't think the MY21 update was minor so I bought one, and I am happy I did, more to enjoy.
Cant think what more to improve on

Rang my dealer in Bendigo and they have me in Wednesday week to carry out the inspection/ work
 
Spoke to Mornington Vic Kia dealer this arvo and was informed that the fix is a 5 minute fuse change and they suggested to ignore the press and online hype and to keep driving as normal and it is safe to garage the car. If it was as urgent as the press made out (channel 7 )Kia Aust would have made contact immediately.
