KIA EV9 Tips for New Users: Initial setup

First few things you should setup / change on your new EV9:
- user profile
- lock and unlock preference
- carplay audio volume
- custom button

You can add profile pick from app on phone

In MA we cannot use the app!

[@efem]

great ideas/demo/settings but recommend turning off autofocus in your camera when you recording something from a fixed distance (screen) focus breathing too much unnecesarily

Noted!

Hey,
picked up my EV9 2 days ago (btw, I have pebble grey too, it's slick color!)
my version does not have few options you mentioned there, for example I cannot put "EV" under Favorites on the Navigation panel (below infotainment screen), I can't find that locking/unlocking option either.
But I can set proper profile picture for driver's profile (it will fetch picture set in Kia Connect), but your video is 3 months old so maybe this option will come to your car via some OTA. Btw I am from Central Europe.

[@peetafunkadelic]

oh no, your colour is that iceberg or arctic green or whatever they call it...

[@EVTipsAndTricks]

that's right. Arctic green. The US model is slightly different from the EU version I am sure. Hope you are enjoying the car!

@@EVTipsAndTricks hey after TMY, it's like poor man's Mercedes GLS, the comfort is quite good. One thing which bothers me is shaking/vibrating steering wheel during highway speeds. Checked some reddit threads about that so I am considering to report it at my dealer.

Do you find the SETUP Haptic Touch button needs to be pressed harder than the other Haptic Touch buttons in order to work?

[@EVTipsAndTricks]

I think they are all equality hard to press!
