2023 Kona Limited - FAQs and opinions

[NevadaTech]

Hello, just an endless listing of things that may help other people. Some of these things were questions I had while looking to buy my Kona. And, yes, some of these may just be me ranting. Starting off with

Windows

• yes, the back windows roll down all of the way
• no, you cannot open all of the windows from your key fob
• yes, both front windows will auto-fully-open AND auto-fully-close once triggered from the driver's door's window switch console
• and conversely, both back widows are only momentarily opened and closed from the driver's door's window switch console

Infotainment USB Audio

• only the USB port by the phone charger can play audio files
• the lower USB port, under the center console is power charging only
• audio files can be mp3, ogg, flac; those are the only formats I've tested
• I have successfully tested up to 32GB USB sticks, I don't know the top end

Rant - Car Locking Volume

I don't know if it is just my car or all Kona(s) but the volume level when I lock the car from the keyfob is incredible low. If I am in an active parking lot, standing in front of the car, and lock it via the fob, I rarely hear the chirp. The caution lights blink with the chirp and I can see the car is locked.

Is you car's volume 'normal'?
