Kia Telluride

Hello boys and girls, if you haven't heard about the Telluride you've probably been asleep or under a rock somewhere. I've been selling Kia for 7 years and I have seen the introduction of many models... the K900, the Cadenza, the Niro, the Stinger (which I drive), and now the Kia Telluride which is our full-size SUV with 7 and 8 passenger capability. Price wise it's in line with the top end Kia Sorento SXL at around $50,000 for the fully equipped and in the upper 30s for the LX model which is also nicely equipped, beautiful vehicles.
Some of the features you'll find in the new fully equipped Telluride include video blind spot for left and right side where a picture of whatever is in your blind spot shows up in the middle of your instrument cluster ... captains chairs in the middle with  heated and cooled seats... also premium suede headliner a TalkBack feature which allows you to press a button on the dashboard and talk to your third row passengers without having to turn around and yell at them. it allows you to calmly say "Kids, don't make me come back there".... And allows them to talk back to you with such smart comebacks as" well he started it". You will also notice the enhanced entertainment system screen which now comes in a triple screen mode where you can have three things on the screen at once, plus you also get the added feature of the 360° surround view camera.

Another great thing that's featured on the S models and above include the smart driver pack which includes blind spot indicator, active Lane change warning indicators, Lane keep indicator, autonomous emergency braking, and of course smart cruise control.
all of these things help you to be more aware of what's going on around you on the road. All in all this is one of the best SUV values on the market for the price.  The best thing to do is just come into the dealership and test drive one.

 I rarely dedicate my blogs to promoting a specific model or a specific buying motif, But  I must tell you I've never seen an outpouring of clients for a single new vehicle introduced through the key line as I have with the Telluride. I cannot keep them on my lot. I'll get 5 in today and I'll have one left tomorrow. T

hey are available to pre-order but the best thing to do is keep your eye on the JimMarshKia.Com website and see when we have them in and then come on in and see what we can offer you for lease or purchase. If you live outside of Las Vegas visit your Kia dealership wherever you are and get more information on this amazing vehicle. Remember you can always get a hold of me right here on this blog page or you can email me at cashatkia@gmail.com

As always have a Kia day!

#YESITIZ
I took the plunge and was the first in my area to lease a new 2018 Kia Stinger. OMG. What an amazing ride. I have come out of stores and seen many admirerers and the fist thing they ask is "that's a Kia?" I answer " yes it is"  then I get questions ranging from " is it fast" to "is itsmooth" ....yes it is...."it's sooo pretty". Yes it is. "Is it affordable?" .... Yes it is. So, my licence plate shall be...YESITIZ. I want to start a #yesitiz blast for the Stinger. So, from now on, any time you mention any Kia Stinger or any Kia Product...follow it up with #yesitiz. Is Kia a GREAT CAR?  (OK, EVERYONE) #YESITIZ


Have a Kia Day.   # yesitiz

How do I play CDs in my new Kia that does not have a CD player??

Good Question

Many cars on the market are doing away with CD players. Many people opt to stream music from a service such as Pandora. You also have the option of XM radio and, of course, MP3 files on a thumb drive, which is what this is about.

You will notice that your Kia has a USB port in the front of the center console. This is a trickle charge for your phone, but also serves as a USB Data port for MP3 files on a thumb (Flash) Drive.

Get your favorite CDs and load them to your computer. In Windows they will save in Media Player as a WAV file. These can not be played through your system.  You must first convert them to an MP3 format. There are several conversion programs out there. Just google WAV to MP3.  After that, just move the MP3 file to the flash drive (drag and drop) and there ya go.  You can put hundreds of songs on a 8 or 16 Gigabyte flash. They are small, and portable. Play your MP3 files by putting the flash drive in the USB port in your car and then go to the MEDIA setting and it will pull the music up. 

UVO E-SERVICES in your Kia

In your new Kia, you might notice it comes with UVO E-Services. First of all, UVO stands for "Your Voice".  So lets start with that.  Your entertainment system and navigation is voice command friendly.  When you press the voice prompt, it will ask you to Please Say a Command .  WAIT FOR THE BEEP and say something like "Serious channel 56" Or "FM one oh two point 5"  If you are listening to a CD you can tell it what track to listen to.  

You can use it for your phone by telling it who to call. Keep in mind that you must use names in your phone directory as they are entered. So if your nick name for your spouse in your phone is "muffy" you have to tell it to "Call Muffy" then follow the prompts.  You can also say "Dial 555-555-1212" and it will dial the number.  You can ask it for call history and it will show you your last calls. 

In Navigation mode, you can say "Find address in (whatever state you are in) ..." When prompted, you can just say the number, street and city, and it will do the rest. ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE BEEP WHENEVER DOING ANY VOICE COMMAND. And NO, you can not change the prompt girl's voice, You CAN shut her off in the settings screen though. Remember, talk to her like a 4 year old.  She is not SIRI. 


Now we come to UVO e-Services.  This is a free service that Kia provides.  You need a smart phone with the UVO app. (go to apple store or Play store and download my uvo. It's the RED one.



Then go online to MYUVO.COM and register. Pretty Simple.  You will have to know which screen you have, so take a picture of your screen in the car to match up. Simple.  Again, this is a free service that features one touch to roadside assistance, one touch call to KIA for questions, self diagnostics so if you get a check engine light, it will tell you what it is, send an e mail to your chosen Kia dealership so they know what is wrong with the car before you bring it in, Parking Minder, which sends a location signal to your phone and gives you directions back to your car. Useful for BIG BIG parking areas.  My Car zone allows you to keep track of where the kids went. A Little big brotherish, but hey, who is making the payments here??

Remember, you can program up to 5 phones into your bluetooth system.  We also are featuring Android Auto and Apple Car Play in our vehicles. We will cover this in another blog.

Remember, If you are in the Las VEgas area, Stop in to Jim Marsh Kia, 8555 West Centennial. Ask for me, Ron "CASH" Twist and let me help you.  You can e mail comments or questions to cashatkia@centurylink.net. 

Have a GREAT DAY                                                                                                

Allow me to introduce myself....I am a Kia Product Specialist

Hello Fellow Kia Owners.  Allow me to introduce myself to you.  My name is Ron Twist. They call me Cash. (Having something to do with the fact that I am also a singer who tributes Johnny Cash, but that's another day) 

I am the Certified Product Specialist at Jim Marsh Kia in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

I am offering this blog to Kia owners who have questions about anything and everything Kia.  I will post tips on how to.....whatever.  From programming your Bluetooth to activating your UVO system.  I will be posting short videos as well explaining different systems. 

The Kia Lineup is amazing. Technology is advancing quickly so I will try to keep you up on it.  We will discuss the new Niro, Sedona Van, Sorento SUV, Optima, Optima Turbo, Forte, Soul, Rio, Sportage, and of course the amazing K900.  And we also are very excited about the new Kia STINGER GT coming this fall. 

I open this up to you to submit questions about anything involving our kia.  I have a vast network of resources.  I sell the product, and have for 5 years.  My whole family drives Kias, and trust me....they aren't what they used to be. They are a JD powers #1 pick and having Peter Schryer from Audi as a head designer does not hurt. 

So feel free to submit questions to be answered on this blog. Many people have the same questions you do.  You can submit here in the comments, or you can email questions to
                           cashatkia@centurylink.net

Remember, if you are in the Vegas Area, Jim Marsh Kia is #1 in Nevada. 

Have a great day!
