I need to look at the manual. May be needed at a certain amount of miles. How many do you have?

62k Miles ​@@Emadifications

@simeonforonda6990 I would do it at that point. But call another dealer and see if it's cheaper.

Just maybe 5% louder. Barely noticeable

Ha ha I did. The breaks thing was a joke for the video. They have the Mercedes logo on them now.

Honestly that is why I just replaced it with an AGM battery . dealers don't seem to do anything.

Oh boy. I wasn't aware and didn't think about that. I haven't had any issues so far. Been charged to 100% a few times, and going on almost 2 months. Which one did you get?

It's fun in it's own way. Will it replace a large V8 rumble? No. Will it still be fun to drive with all it's torque? Yes.

In this videos yes. No tune. I never had my s4 tuned. Just intake and this.

Hey thanks for the comment. I ordered some replacements so I could keep the tpms in the stock wheel set as well. There's some good cheaper placements on Amazon so you don't have to pay for the full blown Kia parts. I haven't had issues with them. I think it's part number 52933-2M000

Thanks! 2 year video is coming up as well.

We have very limited control of camber, so I have a bit of negative camber. But since it's not a crazy drop, it is close to spec.

Yeah my ignorance on the Ev9 led me to not know it was included in the Ev9! That's my fault. I will say I just saw pics of the GT line front and it looks better than the pics I posted in this video, which I assume to be the wind/light model. Either way, still a great car but let's see what the official Kia usa take is.

@@Emadifications also don't forget the gv60 also has it

I just saw some pictures of a different color other than white, and the GT line looks a lot better. I can see where they went with this, but I still prefer the older headlights

Whoa! Today I learned that the EV9 has a fps! Thanks for the update

Honestly I'm not sure what they were thinking, but I guess it fits the rest of their design language, like the Sportage and the K5.

Honestly it has never been a concern. In 2 years, I have never noticed the need for it.

Thank you! Means a lot. It's amazing up there.

Unfortunately no. The screens are not customizable. It's a dumb design.

??

Yup. You just order the background. Slightly cheaper than getting custom letters also.

You're fully allowed to keep them. When you get new plates (the custom ones), they will give you a new registration sticker.

Thanks!

Yeah I saw most Cali folk are paying 700ish! Good revenue for the state.

Thanks for checking out the quick video

Yeah it really put a damper in my plans to upgrade 2 years later. Really sucks. That first year, it held so strong.

Why did that happen though?

@@Logan-gl5mx in my opinion, a few overarching reasons (and many details in each): 1. The weird push for EVs in 2021-2022 seemed artificial. It was too many companies going all in too fast, and it was inevitable that it was going to have its negative impacts. I think the hype died down when people saw our infrastructure isn't there yet in the US, and I think range anxiety is worse than they expected. Companies saw early adopters take these, and then sales slowed down. Dramatically. The proof is that when I bought mine in 2022, people were paying over MSRP. 2 years later they're sitting on lots with discounts. 2. The loss of the $7500 EV credit made this less appealing. 3. Tesla dropped prices like insane. 4. Customers want and need cheaper evs. Not everyone wants to spend 50k+ on a small crossover. Companies need to see this.

@@Emadifications good points. I was wondering because I just saw a used GT model with only 5k miles for 40k and thought that was really cheap compared to the original price tag.

@@Logan-gl5mx yeah GT buyers took a beating. It's so tempting to jump up to it. But my wife refuses to give up the cooled seats!

?

Yes! It was like HD 4k! Compared to 1080p

From what I understand is that it cools the ICCU and the main battery a little

Since we don't pay taxes on gas, they make up for it. I'm not opposed to it, but I also would like to see the math they did to get the number. I'm finding that it's not as high as other states though.

Interesting. Haven't seen that with mine. Mine is usually garaged but has made it through a summer of driving in Texas but then again I don't go back and check footage very often. I'll update if I see anything like this

@@Emadifications Much Appreciated

Usually on the lower side compared to other states. 3.09 for regular, up to 3.99 for 93.

In fact, what a great video it would be if you could show a MirrorTap connection to either Dongar or FitcamX. FitcamX chat line says it cannot be done and Dongar said the same.

Hey! Thanks for the support all these years later haha! As for the radar detector, no I actually never got around to messing with it and I honestly forgot about it. I had just been connecting it down below and had a wire hanging down. Not the best solution. The fit cam 4k camera is awesome. You can catch my review on my CZcams and I've got a discount code on there as well. The fitcam actually connects to the car harness where the dongar adapter was connecting. So it actually just connects directly to the car and you don't have to do anything else. It's the easiest install ever.

Yeah as I mentioned below, the fit cam plugs in directly to where the dongar was connecting to. So you will not be able to use both because the fitcam will be using that harness. You don't need to do anything special with the fitcam

@@Emadifications Let me know if you ever find a work-around…. I hate the crowded dash. Got to be a way to conceal both. I am very scared off hiding wires behind the A-pillars because of compromising the EV6 air-bags.

Ha ha I'm surprised it's $50 in FL. Usually Texas, Florida, or Arizona lead with crap like this. Also, there's almost a 300% chance that these rates are just gonna go up and up.

@@Emadifications I am hoping it does not, FL has a better way to squeeze that precious EV money out of us, they are building an ev only highway where it will be tolled to the ying-yang LOL

That's happening in FL?? Whoa. Let's see if it actually happens?

They only have it listed for 17 and up so I'm not 100% positive that there is any design changes. Even something small could make it not fit. I would honestly reach out to them because they'll probably ask you for a picture of that area of your car and let you know fitcamx.com/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-mercedes-benz-e-class-2017-2023-w213-5th-gen?_pos=1&_sid=d33d6e7bd&_ss=r

Looks like it. But just keep in mind, they barely make any sound difference and not really sure about any performance gain. www.ctsturbo.com/product/cts-turbo-air-intake-kit-for-mercedes-benz-m276-v6-twin-turbo-engine-c400-c450-c43amg-e400-and-more/
