Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?

My Farady pouch (bought on EBAy about 6 years ago) was tested yesterday and works fine. I tried with my spare key which lives in the pouch and left my (used) key upstairs where I leave it every night. Standing next to the car with the faraday pouch, the car would not even open the door mirrors and w...

Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?

Many thanks. I did not realise Faraday pouches lose their efficiency, Mine is years old :o

Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?

No I'm afraid it doesn't. I tried the superlocking on my 71 reg eNiro. Nothing.
As I said, I am not that worried, car theft in my area is very low and I have a Faraday pouch in which my spare key lives.
Thanks for the though though.

Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?

Many thanks Waspman. Most useful info. I did ask the dealer (Hendy) when I bought the (71 reg 4+ eNiro) if the key would 'sleep' and he said no!
So the superlock tip is most useful. :D

Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?

Hello Richard, Thanks for the link. I read the whole article and the one below "Gone in 20 seconds" and neither mentioned any Kia, that I could see. The nearest they got was Hyundai and in the Gone in 20 seconds article it showed a picture of an Ioniq5 which is a more expensive and later m...

Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?

I have just re-insured my 71 reg eNiro 4+ for £385* So, no my insurance cost is manageable. HOWEVER! Aviva bumped it up fro £328 the previous year to £550 this year. After a hunt o confused .com I obtained insurance from TESCO at the above price*. I cannot see why anyone would want ot steal an out o...

Re: Wing / Door Mirror Glass Replacement, Ouch!

This is going to make you chaps weep, but it might help others in the future. (it is not that difficult to remove the broken glass from the backing plate if the new glass does not have it. Some here do. I have done it on one of my previous cars.) Moral of the tale, always look on EBay for parts, bef...

Re: 2023 Niro EV unable to stop fast charge

Welcome to the forum. I have a 21reg eNiro. I wanted to stop the charge and could not do so. The solution I found (which may not be the same for your Niro EV) was to lock and unlock the car and then simply remove the plug from the (untethered) home charger.. If yours is tethered you obviously can on...
