i'm referring to the youtube link from stargate8 la..aiyo...

maybe someleft was left running like lights? (door light, map light)? Although by right after off engine the lights should be turned off if i recall correctly - to save battery and to prevent things like this from happening..maybe the battery connector is lose i guess? need to check

Bro..check your battery connector!...many of new batch forte owner experience this before...

lol..no one bother to ans my question..

i got 1 more question...is there any alarm system?? in my forte 1.6 EX?..i tried to invoke the alarm to sound by holding the off button on my remote..but somehow no any sound pun...and will the car auto lock itself if i leave it idle without key inside??..

built in forte got no alarm, the so called button to trigger "alarm" on the key is just to locate your car in a parking lot. if u leave the car idle, it wont auto lock..i dont know which car at that price or cheaper does that even..

huh??..no alarmmm????..

yes forte got no alarm...surprised? haha..means ur SA either din tell you or u didnt do enuf research

Yup, no alarm. Its actually called a panic button But to add on to that, if you unlock your car and don't open your door within 30 seconds, it'll lock back itself

Yup forgot to mention that part..this feature most cars have it like myvi has it too to prevent u from accidentally unlocking your car when the remote is in your pocket. alarm can be installed from the SC officially WITHOUT voiding warranty. if install from outside, it will void. heard the price is RM 400 if not mistaken

who will know need to do research on that...even my old proton got the alarm.. ..and that god damn SA no mention at all...

where is the panic button??..previously i always use the alam to find my car in the big parking area..

u guys got install??...

i think EX model no panic button. SX one got, icon looks like a horn.

alarm i din install yet..but i think got a few here installed it

On the remote control lor. Icon of a horn
I don't find the point of installing an alarm. If someone really wants to steal your car, they WILL steal it without triggering your alarm. You're better off with a pedal lock I feel If you want maximum security, then go for those GSM trackers / immobilizers, but that also can't guarantee much
Besides that, if your alarm too sensitive, its gonna be a nuisance in your neighbourhood

totally agree with you. if they want they will be able to steal no matter what. with pedal lock also they can steal if they just tow your car away..haha..so no point worry..even those luxury car got whatever alarm also no use 1...

at least delay some time..and time is the most crucial thing in the stealing process....

i feel so nude now... ..omg...confirm got immobilizer in my 1.6EX rite?..lol..when i start that time i saw 1 key icon there...

nah..if they are pro it will be fast..and towing doesn't take long either

I am planning to get 1.6SX soon.

Does it come with the new touchscreen player? Are there new KIA Forte model coming soon?

I am trying to gather informations before dealing with the SA. Worried they try to trick me.

Where got delay. Those professionals that good till what kind of alarm you put also won't trigger For me, put something to show people that you have protected your car (e,g, steering lock). So that for those opportunist stealers won't go for your car. Professional car stealers will most probably tow your car. Unless you have motion sensitive alarms (which will trigger every time it hears thunder), don't think theres anything that can stop them GSM trackers lor. Find them while they are transporting your car. And thats before they throw your car into a container
Lucky for us Forte owners, Kia not that hot in the black market.. So not many ppl want to steal If you own a Honda or Toyota, then you better be weary

Nope. when i check just now, no power what so ever left in the car. This morning the cabin light can still lid, but become dimmer than usual. Now the car is like no power source connected to it.

Will call the breakdown assist first thing tomorrow. Hope it just the batt issue, nothing more serious.

yea la i think most probably the FL is with the touch screen HU and bodykit.... thats not bad actually...
but i think probability of humans breaking your car window and steal that HU will be more.... flashing at it's full glory on ur dashboard
