What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

I hated the fact that there were so many white colours of cars out there so i changed that!! Now i feel i have a unique stinger. I love it.

That looks fantastic. Well done sir!
 
Yesterday evening, I did the navigation update; my previous version was 12.5. Other than my bungling about, it went well enough.

How much does it cost? Last time I asked the dealer seemed to remember was pretty expensive, like $300 or so +.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Oooo something different!

Costs nothing. I was originally told, back in June 2018 when I updated to 12.5, that I'd get one free update after that. But at some point Kia decided to not charge for the updates, which was smart of them.

Thanks! I will update mine then. I’ve avoided it cuz I thought it was going to cost a bunch.

Did you just reuse the same card that was already on the card or you purchased a separate card?

I used the one that came with the car. I don't see any need to ever revert back to older versions.
Same here. After thinking I'd save the OE Kia SD card as a fallback option, I just went ahead and installed the update on it instead.
 
If the top of the dash is leather I'd be surprised. It doesn't feel like the same soft surface on our door panels.
I thought our dash's were leather and I was going to use leather cleaner on it. I see that NIU used another type cleaner for the dash.
Pretty sure the dash is not. If im wrong please somebody call me on it. From wat i recall reading the G70's are real but the Stingers got the look of leather, fake stitching too. Personally im good with it. Ive used VLR on all my rides for years so ive continued with no issues. Like i said my brain isn't all that so i could be wrong

I can't remember where I heard this, but "rich leather trim" means the main seats and the steering wheel. The rest is a very convincing (high quality) "leatherette" (my word for whatever it is, but it isn't leather).

Leatherette...thats good stuff right there. Could be worse, they could have wiped a colony of naugas out and used naugahyde. Countless numbers lost every year
 
Added a rooftop tent - a Thule Foothill. It takes up only half the roof rack, so I can still carry my bike(s) too.

What's the weight rating on the thule rack? If you're sleeping in that tent on the roof I suspect you're exceeding it (by quite a bit).
