Sport Gauges

[Shrike]

I have a 2019 GTS. I was reading a pdf file of a little pamphlet owners of GTS's are supposed to receive with there cars- I didn't get a copy. In there, it says there are supposed to be Oil Temp, Torque, and Turbo gauges. I can't seem to find any way to access them through the menus. Anyone been able to find them. Maybe they are only available on the 2020 GTS. Not sure.

I also have a 2019 GTS. No sports gauges for us unfortunately although I'm not sure how useful they would be. I'm on the fence about whether I should upgrade to the 7" instrument cluster display from our 3.5" unit. The 7" display looks nicer but I don't know if it's worth the expense.

Torque/Turbo is useless at best. Oil temp is nice I suppose, I rarely use it.

Also likely to get in an accident watching the g-meter instead of the road. LOL

Yeah, I would probably only use the oil temp gauge, but I was wondering why the gauges were shown as a feature of the GTS, when they are not.

Maybe that little pamphlet was made before Kia made the final decision or they changed their minds. The Australians got the "Carbon Edition" (same exterior color) that had the 7" display plus the shift by wire shifter and carbon fiber front vents.

Have it in my European GT so a GT2 AWD equivalent.. only ever use the oil temp one during winter season to know when the temp is normal so I dont punish it too much if I hit the throttle heavy. My cars currently in the shop so cant check the path to them on the central dash but they're not too difficult to find..

All of the info you want is there in the ECU it’s a matter of getting it. The 3.5” gauge clusters don’t register or display the info youre looking for

you can swap the gauge cluster with a GT2 but this is expensive and requires help from the dealer to reset the new cluster mileage etc. Theres info on here and it’s been done before

Or you can go the cheap route get a bluetooth OBD2 reader and you can use your phone on a stand to have a boost gauge/oil temp etc

I use mine on cold days to monitor the oil temperature with engine (radiator) gauge; just because I like to know how close to full operating/oil temperature I am after reaching full coolant operating temperature.
