    steering wheel volume control weird behaviour

    Hi, Twice it happened recently that when I press the volume up on the steering wheel the volume goes down. And when I press the volume down on the steering wheel, the phone dialer opens. I turn the radio off and on and then it seems to work again. Thoughts? Thanks! Terry

    Anyone bought a Kia Soul EV?

    Hi all, I leased my Kia Soul in Quebec Canada. We get a 8000$ rebate from the gov. Unfortunately we do not get fabulous lease deals like they do in the USA (eg: $299). However, Our interest rates are low enought that it competes with buying if you need to borrow to buy. At the end of my 4 year...
