The Kia Sorento Thread [Merged]

[jeanpierre]

HI Jeanpierre,

Nice ride !! Where these pictures taken recently? If just recent, then you're here in the Philippines already, right? Btw, just a question on your LCD, is it a permanent mount? If not, how will you use your existing HU? PMed you!!

Gregg

Thanks! Pictures were taken noong last week ng bakasyon ko. Sa ngayon, kababalik ko lang sa jobsite ko since rotation ang sched ko ( 4 weeks on - 4 weeks off ). Yong LCD ko, it's detachable using the supplied DVD pouch and belt which is tucked in sa upper dash board compartment. DIY ko lang yan para malagay lang yong mobile DVD system and looks clean naman. It's an 8" display kaya exact to cover the face of my HU. Yong HU ko may remote control sa steering kaya no problems. Sorry gregg_g, di ko yata na received yong PM mo
Meron ngayong bagong mounting sa LCD which is sa windscreen sya naka kabit at detachable din. I'll send you the picture pag na hanap ko sya. It's for "NEXTBASE" brand na DVD.

good choice ang sorento ..

[carlocaraddict]

my sis chose the sorento over the Tuscon. Happy silang mag asawa sa Sorento nila

Biglang uminit na ang Sorento ngayon, now that the Toyota Fortuner and Innova D4Ds are screwed.

Hi I don't own a Sorento but I just want to share some cool products for your rides. Very popular it dito sa Korea.

[EL Chicane]

Ayus. Siguradong bangga ang abot mo nito. Ang gwapo pa naman ni Colin Farrell.

Nice picture bro! I was planning to order that but it's still expensive at the moment. It's around $700. Hintay-hintay na lang muna ako hanggang sa bumaba ang price.. he..he..he. I've talk to the guy who did my subwoofer and amplifier installation and he said he can do the installation.

Sorento 8" TV Kit cost US$475.00 (KRW490,000) dito.

g-shock, di ko kasi masyadong kabisado ang mga colors but check this site

Gas is good too though ang palaging comment nila guzzler daw. Depende na siguro yon sa driving style. It's a good choice, kaka complete lang ng model na yan sa Around-the-world Expedition with a swiss driver. Matatag kasi parang wala pang nag around the world expedition using a gas powered SUV kong di Sorento lang. Check if they have the 5-speed A/T version na dito.
Welcome sa Sorento owners club!

Hi Jeanpierre,
Have u visited the site? It's really a good one. Especially if you would like to know much of your vehicle/ride in terms of its origin and etc....

[jeanpierre]

Gregg_g, nahirapan ako mag open ng site kasi mabagal ang internet namin sa jobsite. Pero I'll try it again later. Attached ko sa itaas picture ng set up para sa LCD screen natin wherein yong LCD holder naka attached sa windscreen. It looks decent di ba? I don't know if it's available na sa pinas.

[Lensio]

Hi Jeanpierre,

I can buy it for and send it through Bagahing Pinoy (Door-to-door service) if you like. I don't how much the cost to send it but normally if I send a jumbo box to pinas, it cost me USD100.

[gregg_g]

Hi Jeanpierre,

Got a Nextbase too, here's the pic.

Just enough to keep my three boys at still during long drives....

Hi Lensio,

Wow nice LCD! Is it more than a TV? Is it integrated with DVD? With the looks of it, it goes with a new housing where you have to replace the original housing.. Does it go with a new housing and brackets too? That will be one nice investment !! Jeanpierre, buy one, and then give me feedback on how you did (will be doing) it !

[jeanpierre]

Okay ka na pala gregg_g, yong windshield holder na lang ang hahanapin mo.
Ganda yang post is Lensio na system, DVD at may intergrated TV at antenna na yan. Let's wait kung magakano aabot. May kasama na yang mga casing at wire harness. Parang OEM part yan pag na install. Di pwede tanggaling ang HU kasi natin, sayang ang steering remote audio at handsfree mobile control natin.
