Thanks.
Stock USB port doesn't work with Upgrade, I haven't tried much in enabling it as I don't connect mobile via USB. Also, The one I have is with 4GB and the Intel processor.
2 GB version you shared is not a good option, the touch screen has lag, and the quality of the sound is not good.

Thanks. This helps
I'm not looking to spend close to 40k on an aftermarket infotainment system. So will have to wait and see if the USB works.

I am not using the car much these days, when I get some time over the weekend will experiment on the USB port and update if it works for me.
I need to remove the dashboard panel to connect it to the car USB.

Sure thanks

Also due to curfew in Delhi the delivery is delayed. Will update after the installation.

Hi Sharan

I see that you have removed the ORVM adjustment handles. How to do you adjust the ORVMs now?

Re: My Kia Seltos HTE Diesel MT Review

Congratulations Sharan on your new ride! Can you please share the phone number of the Sales Advisor, very hard to see enthusiastic sales people in Kia and Hyundai due to their sale volume.

The seats look awesome! How has the service experience been so far, if any.

Thank you Raghunath, I don't remember the name of the sales person, I bought it in JSP Kia marathalli.

Re: My Kia Seltos HTE Diesel MT Review

Nice choice two years back and probably even now.

I am planning to buy the updated HTE Diesel in the coming weeks. I am impressed with all the features talked here and other forums as well. But i am still sceptical about the mileage.

Will it give around 15 kmpl in mixed Mumbai traffic. Also it now costs 13.5 L on road in Mumbai, so would like to know the opinion of group members if this choice still makes sense. I only want a Diesel car and look and feature wise (base model) we are sold on this..
Looking forward to suggestions from forum members.
Thanks in anticipation

15 kmpl in city is possible with light traffic , which is rare, not with moderate traffic.

Re: My Kia Seltos HTE Diesel MT Review

Thanks Sharan, but finally after quite a bit of due diligence I booked the Venue CRDI S+ yesterday.

Since this is a Seltos thread, just if I may add, I found the Seltos ride to be a bit too stiff and rear seat thigh support to be poor and then I observed that It was a little too big in size from my daily ride from Andheri to Thane. And finally after meeting multiple dealers the best delivery was way past 4 months from now. Apart from this definitely it is the best car in the mid suv space.

So maybe some other time, but all the help counts!

thanks again

Your observations are correct, suspension is stiff, but if you go with 16" wheels with 1/2 psi below recommended pressure, its manageable. Its unbearable with bigger alloys.

I'm considering woodman head unit for my Nexon XMA. Got to know from BHPian in TATA HEXA thread that woodman are trustworthy. One doubt still remains.
Does the stock USB port work after installing the system? Do not feel like keeping mobile in glovebox while using Android auto. Currently USB doesn't work in mine (Unplug android HU).

Thanks.
Did you buy the woodman 2gb unit for your Nexon? if so how is the audio quality? any lag in maps loading?

I placed an order for woodman play unit in haste and now it is not possible to cancel. I am slightly worried if this doesn't come out to be just a fancy Chinese unit with bad sound quality.
