KIA K3 Owners check-in!

[flashbang]

Simple parts like air filters can be changed yourself. You change at dealer, they charge you double the price, still plus labour.

mine is rearview mirror type eurostyle.

 

I went to the galatico website to update the firmware of the gps then download the map at malfreemap for galatico.

Dear Bros, C&C quoted 480 for 1 x side mirror (not a pair). Just minor dent on the exterior. The black plastic cover deformed and requires replacement. They told me its not possible to replace the cover alone but to replace the whole unit. Is this normal? Any bros did changed yours before? Thanks for sharing your opinion and suggestion. 

 

PS: Driving a white FL SX model. 

[Friendstar]

Any first time car owner of K3 or anyone here did not trade in any car when purchase?

 

I am curious. On paper it states they give u $5k discount when you have car to trade in, so the prices we are talking about, e.g. $101,999 or $93,999, etc, is all after the $5k discount.

 

So what price do you pay if you are a 1st time car owner or not trading in any car?

 

Maybe only pay $2k more? I am just guessing.

if you got no car, SX 101 999, EX 93 999, 6 bid non guarantee..

You want guarantee, then add 3K more..SX 104 9999, EX 96 999.

 

Trade in car is contra off from the 30% deposit that you are going to pay.

I feel your pain.. must be damn heart pain for few month old car to kanna dent..

I think go stockist buy and replace from outside workshop better.

Thanks bro. Any idea of this is OEM or compatible part? 

[BlitzStryker]

It's just a generic wing mirror that can be reproduced exactly to the same dimension and color. Likely an OEM part but it's the same as the real one so no worries.

Hi Enzomatrix,

 

Care to explain in details how do you update the firmware of the gps and map? How to connect the car GPS to the Internet?

 

Thanks.

Free single update at cnc in first year of ownership.

 

After that no way to update diy for free. Need to pay

Yes, thanks. This is what he is upset about.

 

Trying to find any alternate or cheaper way to overcome that.

if you can take a picture of the damage, we can advise you better on which parts to replace, or whether the entire mirror needs replacing.

Hi bros

 

Anyone drove the 2017 K3 on NSHW? Whats the highest comfortable speed you did?

 

Took mine up to Perak 1 week after collection 3 weeks ago, hit up to 190km/h and its surprisingly very stable at that speed. 160-170 is really comfortable.

 

Did not use cruise control much as you might not know if there will be any crazy drivers who might suddenly cut into your lane at the last minute.
