sprengBoard
Last reply · posted in KIA Telluride Technology Discussion
I'm developing a module, called the sprengBoard AutoPress that will automatically turn off the ISG (auto stop/start) and/or turn on auto brake hold shortly after the engine is started, and am looking someone that's willing to install one in their Telluride, take detailed photos of the install process, and give me feedback for the module (in exchange for a free module). I just received the first prototype batch and will be installing one in my vehicle (have a Honda Pilot until my Telluride comes in) this weekend. Once one is tested in my personal vehicle, I can mail the module to the Telluride tester.

Here's how it works: The module has two signal outputs - approximately 3 seconds after ignition, the module will send a signal to the vehicle's computer simulating a button press of whichever function the signal are connected to (ie. auto stop/start and auto brake hold). In short, every time the vehicle is powered on you can have either or both the auto stop/start turn off and the auto brake hold turn on without having to manually press the buttons on the console.

The module will need to installed underneath the center console (requiring removal of the console) and will need four connections to the wires coming off of the plug going to the back of the console button housing. I have images from the factory manual detailing how to remove the console, as well as a wiring diagram showing which connections need to be made. The module will connect to the existing vehicle wiring either by using inline taps, or simply by inserting the bare wires into the back of the factory connector and secured in place. The module can then be affixed to the underside of the button housing using velcro or double-sided foam tape.

I'll include wires, inline taps, heavy duty velcro, and instructions with the module. Once testing is completed and a couple minor design changes are made, the modules will be for sale on the Telluride Store.

If you're interested in testing out the module and are willing and able to take detailed photos of the install process, reply to this post. @arattle has already agreed to test one module - I need one more person to test.

(apologies for the poor quality photo, will have a better one soon)

Update: I just installed the "autostop eliminator". At $90 it may not be the cheapest option, but the installation took about 10 minutes and there was no splicing. The installation video was great (though I did need to use a pry tool to gently unclip the trim piece). I've only tested it in the driveway, but it seems to do its job (remembers the previous ISG setting each time you start the car). Pretty sweet!

Yeah, I used the discount code I posted above "AutoVlog" for $10 off. No idea if it still works (found on google).

Nice. Sorry I guess I should have scrolled up a little to see you that. Just tried it and the $10 off is still working. 😎👍

Has the tech guy ever finished the model for this ? I would like to re-ignite this product for less than $100 to help people fix an issue that sounded great but wound up being a huge expense in the long run. I also have CGI design skills & can gladly design a harness or A Box for the device. which im positive you are already more than able to do. I just love doing this kind of thing !

Does any 433mhz tpms work in telluride
3 Replies · 1613 views
Chowell
To answer that question YES any tpms sensors on the same frequency will in fact work just fine and you DO NOT need to get them "calibrated". I had a couple places trying to tell me I had to get the tpms sensors calibrated to the car and blah blah blah. The tellurides tpms sensors will automatically pick up after driving a couple miles just fine so don't buy into the tire shops bullshit

FWIW, I have NO clue what that 52940-DO100 part number that is shown is supposed to be. Kia never uses a "D" in the first position of the 2nd five for TPMS sensors. Further, an "O" or "0" will never be used in the 2nd position of the 5 because that could be alpha or numeric and can be confused.

However, if this part really IS a proper sub for 52940-E2100 as claimed, it's good.

No. You need the fob itself and must press the start/stop button to start the car.

If the fob battery is dead, you now place the dead fob on the key recognition area in the center console for MY 2027, then press the start/stop button. On first generation Tellurides, you would use the fob itself to press the start/stop button instead of your finger.

Welcome. Not sure how many of our members have lifted their Tellurides. What types are you considering?
E
Unclear why you also mention "spedo adjust" in your title unless you're also planning on a non-standard tire.
What exactly do you have in mind?!?
canyonmann
I put an HRG lift on mine about 1 week ago. It looks nice and it give a significant amount of clearance but I did make some sacrifices. Tire noise, handling and gas milage. I put on bigger tires. My speedometer is of course off by 2-3 miles per hour at highway speeds.

My 2023 EX with 20” wheels is about to get lifted 2” with a Truxxx kit. Work will be done by a local specialist. I am considering slightly more aggressive tires (not larger diameter) and new shocks.

My dealer said it stopped lifting Tellurides because some customers complained of premature wear on the shock absorbers.

I’d like to hear the experience of anyone who has had their Telluride lifted: installation advice, handling and mpg effects after the lift, suspension issues, etc.

Consider Eibach's PRO Lift kit as an alternative. Came out just this week along with their PRO-Kit for lowering. The lift kit will work with the load-levelling Nivomat systems but the lowering kit will only work with OEM shocks.

Here are the part numbers:

PRO-Kit (lift), $399.00: E30-46-042-01-22

PRO-Kit (lowering), $355.00: E10-46-042-01-22

If you don't see the lift kit listed yet on the website, you can call them to order it.

I've had the prototypes on my LX since November of last year and haven't had any issues.

Eibach webpage states that their PRO-Lift springs kit (E30-46-042-01-22) does not fit for Telly with self-leveling suspension (Nivomat):
from their webpage:
"Comment: Excludes Self-Leveling/Nivomat shock applications Designed for use with OE shocks"

Anybody can comment on this ?

That footnote must have been added recently because I have this exact lift purchased in late 2023 put on in Early 2024. It worked on my 2021 Telluride SX. Now there is a known problem with the shocks but I do not think that has anything to do with the lift. Probably just something to cover theirselves. I would be interested to know why they put that on there.

Really happy with the way the Truxxx 2” lift turned out on our 2027 (Gen2) Telluride. Still rides like stock and capable of 33’s! Here’s my install and eval.

Finished lifting my 2027 and wanted to put the info here for anyone else.
Went with the truxxx 2.5” lift, 18” Raceline Scout wheels, 35mm offset, falken wild peak A/T3 265/65/18’s for the tires.
Does not rub, even at full turn. Added about 3” in height overall.

Completely aware of the act. That doesn't stop Kia from denying the claim and making you fight for it, which will cost you money to do.

Okay chickdr. I'm married to a chicklawyer, this is how it works:

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act has a provision that helps consumers afford legal action: if you win your case, the court will ensure the warrantor (typically the manufacturer or dealer) pay attorney fees and court costs.

This means consumers won’t be stuck with a legal bill when all they did was assert their rights. Knowing that, manufacturers are often more willing to resolve valid warranty claims promptly rather than drag things out and increase their potential expense and exposure.

Many attorneys handle Magnuson-Moss cases with no retainer because if the plaintiff prevails, the manufacturer pays the legal fees. That means consumers can hire an without worrying about how to afford it.

I hope that Kia abides by this as I read about a lot of issues with them denying warranty claims. If they do decide to fight, it can be a royal pain. This is why I don't do extensive mods on my cars when they are under warranty. I would consider the OP's mod pretty extensive....

Sigh. A $500 spacer lift and slightly bigger tires are not "extensive" mods. Extensive modifications are generally defined as major, typically permanent changes that go beyond "bolt-on" accessories, fundamentally altering the vehicle's performance, structure, or intended use. Extensive suspension work would equate to large lift kits (6+ inches), which require modifying steering geometry, driveshafts, and brake lines. Replacing stock suspension with long-travel coilovers and specialized control arms for high-speed off-road performance. Replacing an independent front suspension (IFS) with a solid axle for durability and articulation. Differential Lockers. Re-gearing. Full Custom Armor. Forced Induction (Turbochargers or Superchargers). Swapping to high-flow fuel injectors, high-performance fuel pumps, and conducting a full ECU re-tune.
Upgrading to performance camshafts, forged pistons, and rods to handle higher power levels. And of course, complete engine swaps. Those are extensive.mods.

Wheels, tires, and a 2" spacer lift? That's cosmetic and temporary, not extensive.

In the service table there is an item: "Fuel Delivery and Air Induction". It is recommend that it be inspected every 24,000 miles, but does not show a timing in which it should be done. If they inspected it and found that it needs to be done, then consider it. If you have been using anything other than Top Tier fuel, then consider it.

You have to wonder what possible 'inspection' methods any particular dealer would use for this item.

Taken off of 2027 Telluride with just over 500 miles.
Wheels are in 95% brand new condition.

One wheel is in perfect condition. The other three have scuffs on the very outer edge where the wheels meets the tire. Can’t be seen looking at the wheels face on. The tire shop apparently one fall on its face as well. (Shown in pic.)

$750 OBO. Located in Morgan City, Louisiana. Willing to travel to meet within reason. Can ship as well for $850 shipped. Text me. Doubt I'll monitor this thread much. 985-519-4420
