finished product.

I wanted to thank you and finish the thread. There was no need to replug the diagnostic tool after installing the 40ah auxiliary battery today; to my relief, the engine management light and drivetrain warning went away.

I believe it will sound an alarm to alert the user about the battery.

Based on my observations, the hybrid side is totally separate from the 2.0 engine, meaning the 12v system is identical to a regular 2.0i. This means that the spare battery can be easily replaced. After the replacement, my next question is whether the alarm will go off by itself.

Thanks, I'll do my best to dig a little deeper.

Although I'm uncertain about the compatibility of our code readers with EVs, that is accurate for non-EV vehicles.

Based on what I've discovered online, you can directly replace the small auxiliary battery; the only one you need to inform the software about when it's replaced is the boot battery.

Could you please tell me which 12v battery this is referring to? My 2016 330e has a small 12v battery under the hood, and I think that's the source of the 2228c8 fault. On my coder, I can see the amp hour rating and reset option for the larger 12v battery in the boot menu, but I can't find anything about the smaller 12v battery or resetting. This has me confused. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

A Kia dealer should look into it, in my opinion.

Thus, it may be a SIM problem in the vehicle.

I've previously attempted both of those options without success. I am grateful.

If you still have trouble, try briefly disconnecting the 12V battery or performing a pin hole reset on the infotainment system.

The car's location appears to be unchanged. I can see where there is a strong signal on my mobile device—which is a Vodafone SIM—but it has no effect on EV3. There are instances when trips are completely disconnected, rendering the SatNav useless.

The car will display your phone's network signal; if the signal is weak, it could be because Kia uses Vodafone to connect to their server and back. Does it operate faster if you drive it to a more open area?

That seems like something the Kia workshop could handle.

Hello, my EV3 is acting up. On a regular basis, it takes my SATNAV about ten to fifteen minutes to provide me with live access. A message reading "Network connection unstable On board navigation will be provided" is all I ever receive. The message "Service not activated (KIA Connect) not subscribed" appears in the General section, under OTA - Infotainment and Map. However, after a ten to fifteen minute delay, it changes to "Activated." I can connect to the EV3 through the KIA Connect app on my Android phone, and my KIA Connect account is active. It doesn't matter how strong the mobile network signal is; this happens every time I use the car. It was a major pain to attempt to leave London without a working SATNAV. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please let me know.

Verify the light's reverse side, make sure the cap is securely fastened, and inspect for any tiny fissures.

I am grateful.

I am looking for an alternative to the Hella 1LZ 012.120-931 headlight that is up to BMW standards because my 335D in Devon has severe condensation in the nearside light. Does anyone know of any good options?

precisely this. sales objectives. In my tenure at dealerships, vehicles were frequently pre-registered and sold at that time. A discount ranging from £2000 to £3000, inclusive of delivery and pre-delivery inspection mileage. Certain vehicles were also registered as loan cars or demonstrators. Why enrolll and incur the expense? Engaging in such actions (once more at that time) would yield the dealership a 'bonus' from the manufacturer, thus incurring a loss of £2-3k per vehicle could result in a £5k per vehicle 'bonus' for that month. Fail to achieve the targets, and all you receive is the profit margin from the sales. In the instance of the Orion you referenced, it is possible for vehicles to arrive directly at the dealership from the factory with varying bumpers during transitional years; for instance, production of the mk4 Escort/Orion 'pre-facelift' models (known as the 88 spec bumper cars in XR3 and RS Turbo communities) might cease on a Wednesday, only for the '90 spec' models to commence on the following Thursday, indicating that the production year alone does not ensure consistency. We acquired a pristine, factory-ordered Escort GTi, which was delivered to the dealership for registration in August 1997. Vehicles from September were equipped with a high-level brake light situated in the rear window. Vehicles from August did not.

One instance is the manipulation of "sales" targets to secure manufacturer bonuses. From the moment I purchased what I believed to be a "New" Orion, I have consistently examined the 10th character of the VIN. It was novel in that I was the first owner, yet the following week I observed the Orion sporting an entirely different bumper.

One can purchase pristine pre-registered electric vehicles that are two years old and have fewer than 10 miles on the odometer, despite the advertisement potentially indicating several hundred or thousands of miles. Select the appropriate vehicle, and they will have an array of colour options. What is the rationale behind pre-registering a multitude of vehicles on the 29th of the month and subsequently offering substantial discounts just two days later?
