Re: SD card music?

The SD card slot is used by the satnav. Transfer your music to a USB flash drive and insert it in one of the USB sockets below the dash. Then select MEDIA, you should see your music.

Re: Niro 4 reversing camera

Presumably it's so badly cracked as to be useless. You might get a complete camera unit from a breaker, but it must be difficult to fit, how could you calibrate the blue/yellow guide lines etc.

Re: Under seat storage

Well, there's no room under the back seat because that's where the main battery is. I imagine you could put suitable sized (but small) boxes under the front seats, but they might interfere with seat to and fro and height adjustment, as well as rear passengers' feet. I believe some people have done i...

Re: Kia Niro Boot Space

It's not as simple as that, where the front seat back is located will depend on the driver, and even if you had that dimension, the tailgate slopes so your wheelchair may foul the glass, particularly if it won't fit between the wheel arch intrusions. You'd really be better trying to put your chair i...

Re: Boot space measurements please with rear seats folded

When I broke my ankle I hired a wheelchair, easily fitted in the boot with seat backs folded down and wheelchair collapsed.

Re: Niro second service advisories

Standard cash-leverage practice. Your experience should tell you something about the dealer. I don't see that advisories of the nature you describe would have any impact on warranty. My experience of a maintenance-included please agreement is that they will only approve the minimum, but in any case ...

Re: Stale Petrol?

This is a good point. I would suggest you don't charge the battery at all but let the car behave as a HEV. You're doing so few miles the economy is unimportant. Not aware of any additives that do what you say.

Re: Trickle charging a Niro hybrid?

I’ve trickle charged my flat Niro hybrid 12 volt battery overnight. 1. Where do I find the battery reset button? 2. Do any of the cars systems need resetting Presumably you have an early model Niro where the 12V battery is in the boot. Did you connect your charging leads direct to the battery, or d...
