Why are you asking this question? The sat-nav should already have an SDcard installed that contains the maps it uses. From time to time the dealer will offer to update maps on the card, not obligatory! Is your sat-nav not working or asking for a card?

Hi Neil,. I gather you have bought an HEV (not the plug-in PHEV model). When you see EV, this means the electric motor is operating, either on its own, or assisting the petrol engine. The engine is operating most of the time in winter, principally to keep you warm! What mpg are you getting? I'm gett...

When you ask it is a safe thing to do, are you possibly considering oncoming drivers who may find the replacement bulbs too bright. Suggest you check out the legality with Kia and your insurance company. If they can be fitted legally, the beam alignment might have to be adjusted.

Will be? There already are! Why are you referring to a March 2016 document?

Imagine it would be expensive, if even feasible. Interestingly, or not, the DRLs go off when you apply the foot parki...

I very much doubt it would react quickly enough to detect a pedestrian running suddenly across your car, who would only be in the detection zone for a very short period of time.
