Congrats bro

No, K5 doesn't comes with the alarm features u mention. To me, I think is not necessary. Thief dont bash window, they have better ways to crack the glass without triggering alarm. Even they do triggered the alarm, they will get whatever valuable things in the car and gone in split second. You or witness don't even have time to react Antitheft? I don't think K5 is in the syndicate order list. also, if install wrongly or short circuit, will void warranty.

I would rather spend the money on security tint film. That way, is "not easy" to break the glass.

But that's me lah. To do or not to do is up you.

Welcome to the Club.

I spoken a guy I met at Red Cube who says he is the official installer of this new system on the Forte and K5. He says the unit for K5 should be ready soon as they are now testing it. But he is not sure about the price.

i think that is the standard delivery time for shipment by sea from korea. Of course the desk ppl at service canter will have to answer this way, but if there is any incoming delivery, im sure they will tuck in ur claim and high chances u can get before the 3 mths time. Normally, they give the worst case scenario(3mths wait).

i really hope that's the case, the 3 months waiting time is the max time, hopefully the parts will arrive earlier.

What is the best way to contact Naza Kia HQ? I intend to contact them directly, maybe that way can expedite the delivery of the parts?

anyone did the 3M seals from KLAuto to reduce the wind, road and tire noise?

My problem with squeaky wipers is still not resolved despite Kia providing me with a replacement set of wipers. Windscreen also cleaned well. Any ideas guys? Ive had this problem from Day 1.

Perhaps you can the try the silicone type of wipers OR get the shorter blades. ELSE probably the wiper motors are at fault. Just some thought..

Bro, better save yr money, it doesn't works.
I have DIY myself and the result was nearly Zero

No la. I had this problem with my previous car as well despite silicon wipers. Kia changed my wipers FOC but still no difference. I dont think its the motor as the sound is from the blades.

silicon wipers are known to have this issue.
Same thing happened on my friend's Civic...from the start (5 yrs ago) till he sold the car.
Replaced by Honda few times, until he's fedup, in the end, just let it be

These wipers also tend to be noisier when the glass is not all wet

In my previous ride, whenever I encounter the wipers juddering, I will apply a layer of rain X which will always solve the problem. Depends on how you look at it, some people may be reluctant to apply it..I apply it usually when a layer of waters forms on the windscreen after rain... Have not applied on my K5 yet though..

But does it solve the problem or is it a temporary fix only?

So it's the wiper blades squeaking against the windscreen?

Silicon wipers are no guarantee against squeaking. U can try Rain X, this does help to "lubricate" the glass but of course it is not permanent and you have to reapply every few weeks.

Perhaps try a different brand of normal rubber wipers?

Well, it solves it for me 'pemanently'..I usually apply Rain X 2 - 3 times a year and in between that, never noticed any juddering..My K5 is also experiencing the juddering during showers but not during heavy rain..

Another resolution which worked for me was to change wipers to those Bosch Aerotwins which have a better sweep pattern and adjusts to the curvature of the windscreen but I don think this is neccesary as the wipers on the K5 are also frameless.

Added on July 17, 2012, 5:43 pmAgreed, everytime i tried on silicon wipers, it would always squeak and judder without fail on my previous ride..be it duraedge or those PIAA wipers so I usually advise against using silicone wipers. I believe in those bosch aerotwin rubbers

Added on July 17, 2012, 6:04 pmMmm, I did fender treatment (STP Mastic) yesterday and it does feel less noise but need to wait 3-4 days to have material fully dry up to have optimum sound proof..will update later...
BTW, I also added VS (voltage stabiliser - if you guys recalled I post the photo some time back), the gear change is smoother especially no lazzyness on ECO mode and the bass is more ummph...this 2 is most notiecable...

Yeah, but the vibration seems to feel 'mechanical'..not really like friction..but that's just me...
