So I got this 2018 stinger gt2 and it started to flash battery discharge warning like the vehicle wasn’t running, the backup camera doesn’t show up, the climate controls don’t pop up, and I can’t go into my custom vehicle settings it just tells me vehicle must be running. I’ve taken it to dealers and they just say random bs and give up. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it’s very frustrating. I also have no CarPlay only bt works

I'm new to the jb4. I just installed the ewg cables on my car. I also downloaded the latest update. Now the shifting is much smoother, but I have noticed the low and midrange throttle isn't as strong as before. Although the WOT is pretty nice. What settings can I change to help the low and mid range? I am running MAP 3 with 96 octane. I attached a quick log. Also I have intakes, downpipes, exhaust, & plugs. Any feedback is much appreciated. THANKS!

I just realized today that my wipers are not working. I tried all positions including mist but no joy. I tried the wiper washer and it pumps the fluid but the wipers don’t activate to wipe the window. I checked both fuses under the hood and both look fine.

I recently went on vacation for nearly a month ...

Left Jan 5th, and Jan 30th is my first day back at my car...

I have a BM6 logging battery voltage measurements every 2 minutes....
Voltage can be seen fluctuating with extremely cold temperatures we had.

Jan 22 was -16°C measured at the battery. Screenshot_20250130_155414_BM6.webp

And to my very pleasant surprise, she fired up with relative ease today, after 25 days of being parked. Cranking voltage only dipped to 9.01v

I honestly was prepared and expecting to come home to a dead battery.

I even recorded this video (for the sound), expecting the battery to be not powerful enough to start the car.



This was a very long post to simply say, my car started today, and I consider myself lucky. My original battery is 7 years old now, and I do nothing special to maintain it, other than disable ISG automatically every drive cycle

It's somewhat small at the moment, the number of aftermarket exhausts for the 3.3. It'd be nice to have a list, maintained. This is probably more of a US thing or so, because in Switzerland we're regulated to death with the legal options.

Atm I only know of:

- SEMA Borla ... with no idea if this going official?
- SEMA AMG Exhaust. A gag?
- Bastuck. Seems not to have that much roar.
- "Updated thing from Kia". Apparently there's a "sport" exhaust or so mething now. What I saw doesn't sound like much and is hideously expensive.
- JUN B.L. Korean thing I think, where I have no idea if this makes it to Europe myself.

My favorite is the Borla .. that thing roars. But it would have to have a "silent" option or simply behave in normal driving if you don't hit the pedal much. Nothing gets on my nerves more, than a sport/performance exhaust, that constantly drones and annoys on long voyages.
