Re: The Kia Seltos SUV (SP Concept). EDIT : Launched at Rs. 9.69 lakhs

That's very right Rajeev. The interiors are a class apart. The doors are heavy. It's got that thud when you close it. The seats are plush. You can see the whole world left centre right with the 360 cam. It is the features that make Seltos the King of the Segment.

Hi, is the 360 cam available anytime at the touch of a button or only during reversing?

Yes, you can activate the 360 degree Camera with the touch of a button anytime.

But when the vehicle is moving above a certain speed, only the back camera will be activated and you can see through it. For the 360 degree image to work, the speed of the vehicle should be very low(not sure how much though)

Did they pay upwards of 15 big ones for these experiences ?
Are you implying that Kia has delivered a half baked product

Guys I feel the audio output on my GTX+ DCT is complete crap. Tried to play with equaliser but no use.

Audiophiles, what can be the issue? Is the power output from the Hu? But then you have the amp or is it the Bose speakers? I am thinking of an after market solution with probably Anwar of Top Gear, but Any suggestions generally?

The sound is not bass heavy but more balanced with superb sound stage. So it will sound different than an infinity or JBL which are more bass heavy. But better than the Cantons in Skoda L&K. Sounds like a typical Bose sound dock (I have a couple at home). The sound gets better over time (a month for me) once the speakers open up. I have realised the quality of input matters. Apple Music, android are poor. I have a premium Spotify account and di.fm and play 320 bit rate and the sound is superb. As for the settings, after much playing around, following is the optimum:
- Bass +5
- mid +2
- treble +3
- Fade : center aligned

Turn Bose speed compensation on.

Folks, it's been a week since I took delivery of my car and still unable to Activate UVO connect, it gives the same standard message of contacting customer service. Has KIA not fixed their UVO issues yet? Looking forward for your feedbacks.

Yes from my side. Not only, Kia, but any new car is also a half-baked one unless tested properly. We have seen many examples in the past and it is the attitude of the manufacturers when they put in something to the Indian Market.

Heard from this thread that the Seltos is extensively tested for the Indian conditions but I have never seen a scoop of Kia's test mule in the Himalayas or the Thar(Correct me if I'm wrong). And I was surprised by the coolant leak issue of one of the owners here. The problem with the UVO is not a big deal unless it affects the mobility of a vehicle from my view.

Anything that affects mobility is a big issue. I think that Tata has learned a little from the Harrier and one can see the extensive tests on the Altroz.
Hope Kia sorts everything out once they become a little free. Will wait for the CSUV from Kia.

Thanks!

I was also quite upset that the Bose system was not up to the standard. But playing with the settings helped me settle with what I wanted to hear. The settings are more or less the same as the one above.

- Bass +4
- mid +1
- Treble +4
-Fade: -4 (this made a huge difference and this might work for you)

Thanks for the details. I compared the ones available in Coverfox and I missed some of the benefits provided by dealer there. Also, my recent interaction for getting an NCB reserving letter from my previous car insurance company is an horrible experience. I am still waiting for that damn letter and been following up from past 2 weeks. These experiences has made me decide to go ahead with the ones offered by dealer (I know, it's expensive )

Dealer is charging 62K excluding RTI and 2K more with RTI. Folks, who have bought insurance from KIA dealers. Can you please confirm is it the same case with you as well? I don't understand, having mentioned this in the coverage. Why they are charging separately for RTI and not included this along in price list. No clarity

When you say fade -4, does it mean you shifted it more to the rear?

Yes. It was all about balancing the sound in Seltos and moving the slider to the rear (4 points) made a huge difference.

Thanks! I'm definitely not talking just about bass. Overall it is not really the wow types I get in say a Compass or Harrier. Just understanding what is it I want to have a look at for my liking, is it the amp or the speakers?

Could experts advice on cons on 1.4 TP? Long term reliability and maintenance? I'm confused with GTk or HTk+. Thanks!
