Turn signals on the HUD please!

Where's the Combantrin ?

I just want one thing...gear indicator when you switch into manual mode.

You're arrogance is so becoming ! it was just a matter of time .....................................if you think you should be a moderator , lead by example !

If you think you should be a member of this forum, lead by example.

I still have those words ringing I'm my ears from the "Panthers" meet up when the former Nissan forum moderator told me "You wait and see your new Stinger forum implode when it starts to get personal". He said give it 2-3 years. I left out some of the key points he indicated, I did this for civility reasons.

His forum with 7000 members he tells me is no more.

All forums take a turn for the worse when attacks turn personal - don't have to go far to find evidence of that ...

Fortunately, this forum has a good group of moderators to keep the worst of it in check, though they unfortunately spend far too much time dealing with a few bad actors. Kudos to those who do - it's for the most part a pretty thankless job, and they're obviously not in it for the money.

Since people can’t take a subtle hint, personal attacks will be met with thread bans.

I’ve already gotten to use my shiny new toy once, I’ll be happy to use it again if needed.

I have the same issue with the blinkers. I have adjusted the steering wheel but like mentioned by the OP that usually puts the wheel in not the most comfortable/optimal position. I had the same thought on the blinker showing on the HUD, or some kind of indication the blinker has stayed on, even just audible notification it doesn't have to go on the HUD (I'm not sure if it does and how long you have to go before it does notify you, I've gone at least a mile with it on before I noticed, and only reason was I got to my next turn and realized it was already on.

I only had to move the steering wheel up about an inch to see them. It hasn't been a problem for me at 6 feet even. but everybody has a different feeling for comfortable..my seat is almost all the way down and back with the seat back at a slight incline. The wife on the other hand has problems seeing anything on the dash in any car and be comfortable. She is only 5-2 and has the seat as high as it can go and as far forward as it can go.. so it will be different for everybody. They aren't going to change it, so you either need to adjust and laern to lower your head to see the stuff or buy a different vehicle that has these features that are important to you... That's pretty much where we are at right now.

I could see this being useful, but I typically don't leave my turn signal on anyway. I usually just press it up / down once and it blinks 5 times which is plenty of time in 99% of my commute. The only thing I want on the HUD is Waze prompts from Android Auto.

I am very careful about what and how I respond , and mean what I say with the highest degree of respect and honesty for what this Forum is established for .................I dont apologize for calling out people that take advantage of position or situation ................

it might need more of an enema !!!!!!

As a pilot and Stinger owner i can tell you that if you put too much information into a small HUD it just confuses the user with too much info. You also can miss information due to the clutter. Existing format is more than sufficient for a good driver. If you want a BMW HUD then buy a BMW.

I'm assuming you are directing this at me........... which is odd since you know my previous ownership background with BMW ..........and my feelings towards their reliability etc ............. I'm not suggesting that the BMW HUD is the reason to buy a BMW ...........but , as mentioned in my earlier post , their system is worthy of review and consideration as it is significantly more dynamic and programmable than ours ...............IF you had ownership experience with that syatem you might feel different which was my point ...............

Great Callums think alike.

(crg, also Callum)

When you get used to having that type of info from previous "Lux" brands you miss it , we arent driving fighter jets , the objective of keeping your eyes on the road is the key issue here , you dont have perspective on this obviously , and you likely would have a different POV if you had experience ................it's a new world beyond Subs and Mits , and its the new territory Kia is charting ........................ !

I've driven recent BMWs and Lexuses (is that the plural? Lexii?), and I found that too much information in the HUD became distracting. I think a balance between where Kia sits with their HUD now, and the "too much information" level of the BMW offering would be fine. Mercedes Benz (I haven't personally experienced theirs, but from online pics, they seem to limit information displayed) looks good.

Personal opinion of course (like my "IMHO" comment earlier), I have no issue with people disagreeing with it, and I've certainly never abused position or situation to hold that opinion over anyone else.

I'm not sure that Kia are charting any new territory where people are complaining that the feature they've implemented is less featured than competitors (albeit at a lower price point, but even cheaper cars are coming with a HUD these days, and the Nissan Bluebird SSS back in the 1990s had a rudimentary HUD...).

It's not like it will cost KIA anything additional on the hardware end - they've got a generous amount of high resolution real estate available for use on the existing HUD display, so it's just a matter of programming some additional functionality. Signal light indicators? Current Gear number? These would take minimal effort on their part to add in as additional, menu-selectable options, pushed out as an HU update.

Now THAT software upgrade, I'd pay for ...

That may be something they're holding back for a "mid-life update" or similar. Of course, that sucks for those of us who buy before that update is released...

Don’t assume as I wasn’t directing at you. Don’t intend owning a BMW either. I am however very conversant with EFIS and HUD design and integration being a commercial pilot, and do know that if you don’t just keep the necessary info on the display it can cause interpretation issues.

My point was that if you cram very little bit of yours and others preferences as to what’s displayed then the cost will escalate the price and the risk of distraction increases due to over supply of information.
The stinger screen is too small to include everything and the creation of a larger HUD will raise the purchase price. No one is right or wrong here it’s just the fact you have to be realistic.

The thing that peeves me the most is the comments directed at moderators which is uncalled for. You do all realise Kia Stinger, the administrator, does not own a Stinger either yet you would not make those comments to him. Manaz was selected on his experience as a moderator on another car forum, not the fact he does or doesn’t own a Stinger. As a moderator we have the ability to uphold the rules of the forum without question yet many still try tell us how to be a moderator. If anyone else thinks they can do it better then by all means apply for the position. Other wise everyone should obey the rules and we will not have any issues.
Personal attacks and trolling is not acceptable in this forum and it only serves to make members leave the forum. As stated it only takes a one worm to make the Apple rotten, set the precedence , be nice to one another even if you disagree.

Let me be clear. I didn’t attack Manaz.

But When he uses the bs IMHO then tells me my opinion is wrong... when I’m have the tech and see shortcomings. Yes, I’m going to be SARCASTIC and point out his lack of personal experience with the Kia HUD.

There was no reason for anyone to dismiss/discredit my experience.

That’s why I got pissed.

Great that you all have expertise with other platforms. Fn fantastic.

But this was about how KIA implemented the hud. And if you owned it, you can see there is plenty of real estate and how/why it is limited in their execution.

Carry on.
