yeah i agree to that statement as well.. but when the kit is painted.. OH BOY
looks fantastic.. i had my kit on my car for about a year now and i have to get it repainted soon since this car attracts rock chips like crazy haha..

at night time.

2nd, WITH the always-on unit

during the day, your lower and upper DRL should be on with E-brake not engaged

at NIGHT time your headlight and upper and lower DRL should be on

if not contact Diode dynamic for help..

they sent me a new unit as soon as they made them.
Thats exactly whats going on with my module. I emailed them and all they said was that no front lights should be on when the headlights are off lol...

i definitely would purchase again from them for other stuff.

so idk where to ask this. first car with heated seats. only had the car a month and put 3k miles on it and in all that seattime ive already concluded that i am not impressed with these heated seats. They heat up, feel great and right when you start to enjoy it, they cool back off....then while later will heat back up, then cool down...repeat. i find myself having to flip them on and off to keep them toasty. Is this normal?

Installed always on module.


Also forgot to add: I dropped off my car last night at the body shop to install my new trunk and spoiler. Can't wait to get it back!

yeah, I'm inclined to go that route. plus painting it is just something else I don't want to spend money on.

from what I hear every heated seat is like that. my Lexus GS430 was the same way.

Ive noticed that with mine as well. I work at a processing facility where we get brand new Kia and Hyundai from Korea, and their cars Ive driven with heated seats craps all over our heated seats. Those things get pretty warm, even to the point where it gets a little hot to where I have to turn it off. And when they get warm, they stay warm instead of cooling off.
