Forgot to add. Mine is a Xline 1.5 TGDi DCT

Yesterday, got a call from RTO confirming my vehicle details and a few minutes later got a text with my vehicle registration number, receipt number and all.

Now, I want to know how to login on "My Kia" service app. Will it be done when I will visit showroom to get my number plate attached or can I do it myself. And if yes, then how?

On opening the app, it shows 3 options. 1. Yes, I am a proud owner. 2. No, not yet. 3. Already registered, Login.

I went ahead with option 1. There I was asked VIN/Registration number. I entered vehicle registration number but it shows "Invalid".

Kindly help!

It has to be activated by scanning a QR code in the infotainment. So i suggest waiting for the delivery to activate the app.

100% nothing to do with steering - not just gentle inputs, one can steer across the full range and the engine would not start unless any other condition causes it to.

Here's the complete list of scenarios listed in owner's manual where a ISG stopped engine would restart (other than pressing the A-pedal, that is).

Quick Question:

The dealer has shared with me his 2023 Seltos Inventory List and has shared few VINs which are 17 Digit and the Kia Invoice Date. I could decode the VIN to be a 2023 Vehicle as 10th digit is P. However, unable to decode the Month. Should there be 2 more alphabets in the end? I called the dealership and they said the 17 digit VIN is all they have and the Kia Invoice Date should be the same month of Manufacturing of the Car.
People who have taken recent delivery of Seltos, could you pls confirm the Letter in the VIN for Nov and Dec 2023 manufactures Seltos.

Hi Seltos Owners,
Did you have different air pressure in your tires based on the in-built TPMS and the pumps at fuel stations?
I have seen that the two did not match in my last refueling visit.

If so, which measure is accurate?
Thank you!

I think you are mentioning about "Kia Connect" app.

There are 2 apps, one is "Kia Connect" for the car and its controls, which yes, requires QR code. And I have registered on this app a few days back(I got my Kia delivered to me on 18th January).
Second is "My Kia" regarding car's service details. I was talking about this one.

The beam spread of the lightbars I ordered is flood type as i wanted a wider spread of light and brighter low beam.

There is also a spot beam version of these available with Hella for people who need a very far reach (almost 400m).

They look good, please post before and after pictures when the installation is done. Was it really necessary to disconnect the existing fog lamps? Can't these light bars have a switch control of their own in the dash? In that way you'd have better control, isn't it?

Ah Yes. I was mistaken. My Kia for some reason doesn't work for me as well. I have given up and call my service advisor for booking service or any other requirement. You can always ask them for a printout of service records.

There are only 17 digits in VIN. Its how Kia and Hyundai works. So, unfortunately, you can decode the Year but not the month with VIN.

I took my Kia delivery on 18th January. It was of 2023 one according to VIN.

The inventory my SA showed me had 2 dates. And if I remember correctly, there was approximately 10 days gap between these dates.
Now, I forgot the exact headings of what these dates convey. But, I think the later one was 21st December and the former one was around 10 days back. And I went ahead with the booking.

It worked. I contacted my SA and he said that I should proceed with option 3, "Already Registered" one, as they have completed the registration part themselves.

I was asked to proceed by logging in with my father's mobile number which was used in registration process.

Seltos GTX+ DCT Booked...

Below i what i was able to extract for a Nov / Dec 2023 make:

Price Ex. Showroom: 19,99,900 /-
TCS: 19,999 /-
KIA Insurance (0 Dep + all other inclusions): 79558 /-
RTO Registration: 2,47,146 /-
Fast Tag - 500 /-

Total On-Road Price: 23,47,103 /-
Discount provided: 1,05,000 /-
Initially, they forced to take the Complete Accessories package worth 28k, but we later agreed on taking accessories worth 15k.

Effective On-Road Price: 22,57,103 /-

Quote received for exchanging my 2012 Ritz VDI: 2,30,000 /-. Can be stretched a bit more.

I tried convincing them to add 5 Yrs. Extended Warranty as Complementary, but they have not budged so far stating it's billing is controller by KIA and not the dealer.
It was getting pretty late but I will try to squeeze a bit more discounts, if possible. Maybe include the Underbody Anti-rust coating.

Have selected Grey Color for the purpose of Booking, but i have options of Gravity Grey, Pewter Olive, Imperial Blue and Glacier White.
Would really like to hear few suggestions on which color looks the best for Seltos between Grey, Olive and Blue. Might be going tomorrow during daytime to finalize the Color.

Do you guys think i got a decent enough deal?
Really excited to be part of the Seltos Family.

Pune onroad for new Seltos GTX+ Turbo DCT is 23.64 as per carwale.com. You should be negotiating for another 50-75k, for a total 1.5-1.75L discount to compensate for key features being compromised, especially when you have the option to go for a new one, but dealership has limited options in disposing off the old stock.

Congratulations!
You can view my Kia Seltos Gravity Grey color in my Garage section. Apart from this, Pewter Olive is also good. But, colors are personal to each one.

The discount is very good. The deal is literally more than decent one. Try to convince them to include Under body Anti-rust coating.
And regarding Extended warranty, in my opinion, you should have it one way or another.

Looking for advice on Connectivity

Seltos is connected via bluetooth to iPhone & also OTTOCast is also connected via BT to iPHone (For Wireless CarPlay)

I find - connectivity getting lost sometime (may be OTTOCAST & Native BT getting confuse during startup).

So I removed native Seltos BT pairing from phone .

Did anyone notice quality of Sound is lower on OTTOCAST Car play device compare to Native BT connection ? I might be overthinking too

Any comment...
