I will certainly give it a try and report back!

Has anyone mastered Voice Control on the IM5? I've tried calling contacts in my phonebook, but the Voice control tells me they don't exist, even though I've just manually called the same contact. My wife pointed out that the KIA software downloaded the Contact List to the car and it was easy...

I have a Multi-Car policy with LV, I just rang them up last week, told them of the the change and they charged me £90 to change from two self-charging Kia Niros to two brand new IM5s (one standard and one long range). This will take me through to renewal in August 2026. There's a high excess...

One piece of advice - don't drop it between the console and the seat - took me ages to retrieve mine last night after it dropped in the gap!

Well, because I bought two IM5s at the same time, my wife was given a new set of the IM5 mats and I was given the set out of the demonstrator in the showroom (as they didn't have any more). Can't complain, because it was something my wife was asking me about the night before picking them up.

I bought two IM5 cars and they arrived on Friday - took ages to find where to put the XSD cards (in the centre box (tiny slot between USB ports), but found that they don't like cards from other dash cams and that the "format" is Fat32. I tried reformatting my existing cards, but it didn't work...

I order two IM5s last Sunday, one standard and one Long Range, we picked up both cars on Friday :-)
