Love the Convenience!

I really like the Kia Access app! I love being able to start my car right from my phone, especially on hot or cold days. It’s also great having access to other helpful features and information about my vehicle all in one app. Very convenient and easy to use! I highly recommend the Kia Access app to any Kia owner—it makes owning and managing your vehicle so much easier and more convenient!

Kia Access App

I thoroughly enjoy my Kia Access app for many different reasons. It’s wonderful in the summertime when I can start the car up remotely to cool it down and then the winter time when I can start my car up to heat it up. I can easily look at the app to see if I need to get gas or if I’m good and even make Service appointments. I highly recommend the app.

Love Kia

I love my Kia ev6

App will not work from my home

The app works everywhere but my home. I’ve tried two different WiFi connections. I’ve done the reset in the car. I’ve reconfigured the car and nothing works.

Price change/useless

I logged on one day to start my car and my app no longer worked. It’s useless if I can’t use all of the features. The car wasn’t bought brand new however what’s the point of having it and I can’t do anything with it.
