i remember there was once when i had the smart key in my pocket, and i was fumbling and pressing the wrong button to open the boot a few times. i vaguely remember the alarm sounded together with the horn for a few beeps.

 

maybe there is a combi / duration of button presses that work as a "car finder" aide.

 

 

HAHA, happened to me before. Like a PlayStation cheat code, I tried pressing the remote buttons in many ways, but no car finder leh. Asked my SE, and she said the same thing - no audible beeps for car finder.

my ride blasts its horn angrily at me twice when i get out and close the door without leaving the key inside and engine running... got a shock when it first happened :a-panic:

wa blast it's horn? K3 just has an annoying beep intermittently. if you exit the car with the keys while the engine is running.

 

think this is a safety protection feature to prevent you from leaving the car running. There have been cases of cars running overnight in garages connected to ppl's houses in the US, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.

Am using Phillips Ultra Vision bulbs. 4000k, just nice LTA limit.

 

Changed to these:

 

http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/philips-whitevision-h7-twin

 

Bought from Powerbulbs, they always have 15-20% off coupon codes.

 

They are 4300k so don't expect them to be white light bulbs, just the packaging tries to make you think of them as white lighted bulbs only.

 

Whiter than default bulbs, brighter and longer throw.

yours is sports? my friend didnt manage to get his COE this round. His Non-G as well.

 

I think it also depend on the total package price and any discounts given for AD to determine the reserve price?...

Sorry bro I don't drive a K3 so I'm not really sure. Probably you can check your owner's manual, should be stated there for any bulbs in the car.

It's simple maths.

 

Car cost for SX = 39K

COE reserve price = 57,999

Total cost = 97k

Selling price = 105k (non guaranteed)

 

Kia's profit margin on SX = 8k

 

EX car cost = 32,700

Selling price = 95k (non guaranteed)

 

Hence I expect his reserve price to be around 54k, which is obviously unattainable in the current market.

 

By the way this also means for those buying SX, non guaranteed bid is a good choice if COE stays around this level. No need to pay an extra 4k ^_^
