About this app

[*Only compatible with cars equipped with Kia Connect. Please look for Kia Connect settings in your navigation screen.

**IMPORTANT: Do not lock the vehicle through the remote app door control while the FOB key is inside. Under certain circumstances, opening the vehicle door remotely may not be possible as long as the FOB key is inside]

The Kia Connect app has been developed to work in combination with a Kia car equipped with Kia Connect. Thanks to it, you will be able to benefit from remote services such as:

1. Vehicle remote controls
- Set the desired temperature in the car and activate the air conditioning or control the charging process remotely from the app (electric vehicles only). Lock and unlock the doors (all compatible models).

2. Vehicle status
- Offers an overview of key elements of your car’s status such as door locks, ignition, battery and charge level and supply you with a Monthly Vehicle Report giving an overview of your car usage.

3. Send destination
- Allows you to pre-plan and set your journey through the app for seamless use in the navigation system.

4. Find my car
- Keep track of your Kia and remember where you left it, thanks to the Find My Car.

5. Alert notifications
- You will be notified whenever a car alert is triggered and sent Diagnostic Notifications about the current status of your car.

6. My trips
- Provides a summary of your previous journey’s including average speed, distance driven and time in transit.

7. User Profile Transfer and Navi Linkage:

- You will be able to link your User Profile in your car to your Kia Connect App, so that you can check and change your vehicle settings on the app anytime. You can also back up your vehicle settings in the Kia Connect app and apply it to your car, as well as store your favorite addresses and send it to your car from the app.

8. Valet Parking Mode (currently only available on selected models):

- You will be able to monitor the vehicle status (vehicle location, driving time, driving distance and top speed) from the Kia Connect app while valet is driving the car. In parallel, valet can only access limited AVNT information.

9. Last Mile Navigation:

- Support you in continuing your navigation to the final destination on your smartphone after parking the car.

Works well for but one part. Why do I have to link my account to my vehicle whenever I relaunch the app? This information seems to not be stored. Had this issue on Android 12 on my OP7 and now on Android 14 / Pixel 7a. It's not a deal breaker, but really inconvenient. Edit: Sent a report via the provided web page. Looking forward to getting this issue addressed, ty

This app (and UVO before) worked well for 2+ years, but for several weeks it's been 99% network error messages and the only functionality left is receiving push messages. I have deleted and reinstalled the app (on an Android phone and an iphone) without any improvement. It's great that Kia responds and suggests to contact customer service, but all I have from a message sent two weeks ago is an automated reply. Edit: 3 months later and I've yet to hear anything from Kia.

won't login anymore, I have reported in to their online form. I get some interesting error messages. l get exceed maximum requests even though nothing is requesting it. doing a bit of debugging, seems it's getting java.lang.NullPointerException when I provide valid credentials in its response.. so issue with their java app apparently. I get page 404 when I go back to app after failing to login. Update: issue was resolved promptly, adding a star back.
