2018 Kia Cerato K3 / Forte (BD Series) + 2021 Facelift

Not true. Cerato do have Antenna. It is built in at the rear windscreen. It look like those heating element on the windscreen. That's why the reception is bad for SG. But if in Malaysia, the reception is better due to lesser high-rise building.

Actually I thought having the antennae etched on the rear windscreen helped with reception?

Could it be interference from metal based tinting sheets? I believe the basic Rikecool one given by CnC is not metal based. Unless changed to 3rd party?

This is the page from the user manual.

The Cerato has the "glass antenna" instead of the sharkfin or pole type, which are available as options.

I think the sharkfin or pole type antenna would have guaranteed FM reception in a built-up city like ours.

Renault Megane has a GT-Line series launched in 2016.

 

So who copied who in the usage of this GT-Line moniker?

It is not a stupid design. It is common for Continental/European cars. As the wipers are hidden under the bonnet, it has less drag thus improving the drag coefficient and reduce wind noise.

 

Those putting flyers will know and do not pull the wipers on my car. They knew it. Not sure about Kia. I guess more and more Koreans (even Hyundai) so-call copied the design. You can see that they are improving.

 

Cheers.

No lah

You can get a CD of 0.25 without hiding the wipers.

Just look at the Mercedes CLA or B Class.

Your fake drama is pathetic. GT line is an industry term used for decades since almost as long as the term GT has been used referring to nontrack/mass production engine builds. I think Ford GT40 era oredi got this name.

 

Kia used the term b4 on Sorento, Sportage, etc too

The "line" is used by a few brands

 

R line

S line

Amg line

 

Gt line is also used by stinger.

 

Can't be too sure who started "line"

Anyone can advise on how to utilizing the 2k service credits?

 

Should be fine to service at your preferred WS for minor servicing, can consider to head back to C&C only for major types.

Have you noticed that Toyota and Honda have increased their prices sharply following the recent COE bidding but Kia kept it flat. The SX is still at the same price it was when the COE touched 25,000.

KIA also revised their pricing on 17 April 2019.

So that is just sgcarmart not up to date... interestingly, the difference between L and SX has reduced - while the SX OMV is much higher. Does anybody knows what’s the GT Line OMV ?

Anyone knows after we parked our car, if we want to continue listening to the radio, is there any way to turn off the engine while keeping the radio on other than turning off by pressing the engine start / stop button and restart the accessory electricals?

Some pussy "disliked" this post and caused forumer Yishunite to think that I disliked this post. Moderator knows who you are on the backend...trying to create conflict amongst forumers.

Is it very difficult to press the start/stop button once to turn off the engine then press the button once or twice to go into accessories mode?

Nice! Thanks for the tip. Have you done the PPS with C&C?

PPS done, was told by SA to use water to clean car no shampoo. Paint protection can last for 1 year.
