Kia UVO System: Getting the Most from Your Tech Features

Formerly known as the UVO and recently rebranded to Kia Connect, the Kia infotainment system incorporates a suite of tech features designed to elevate your driving experience. Here are some tips from your Morrow Kia dealer on how to make the most out of the system.

5 Tips From Your Kia Dealer for Getting the Most From the Kia Infotainment System

Get the Kia Connect App

One of Kia Connect’s best features is the dedicated app compatible with Android and Apple devices, including smartphones and smartwatches. Once installed and paired with your vehicle, the app provides easy access to various vehicle functions, including remote engine starting, locking or unlocking the doors from a distance, and remote climate control.

You can also use the app to find your car in a crowded parking lot and receive rear occupant alerts. Other alerts and notifications include vehicle health information and maintenance reminders.

Activate the Kia Digital Key

On select vehicles, the Kia Digital Key makes vehicle sharing a breeze. You can share the digital key with other members of your family so they can access and operate the car with a compatible smartphone or smartwatch. When you don’t want to share your vehicle anymore, you can easily cancel the users from the Shared User list saved in your device’s native wallet app.

Stay Connected on the Go

Whether you want to catch up with friends on social media or access your work emails, today, connectivity is more important than ever. In compatible vehicles, the in-cabin Wi-Fi hotspot capability makes it easy for everyone in the car to stay connected to their digital life. Powered by Verizon, this feature supports up to five connected devices at once. Eligible vehicles come with a free 3-month or 3GB trial, whichever comes first.

Check Your Driving Score

An innovative feature of the new infotainment system is the Driving Score. This technology analyzes your driving habits, including your average speed, the time of the day you’re driving, highway speeding, braking habits, and annual mileage, to calculate your driving score. A good score could potentially reduce your vehicle insurance premium, but the feature is also useful if you want to improve your driving performance.

Navigate New Destinations

In Kia vehicles with built-in navigation, the intuitive navigation app and Connected Routing make it easy to reach your destinations. Kia offers two major map updates each year, giving you peace of mind when planning travel routes knowing that the maps are accurate. The Connected Routing feature is useful for real-time traffic monitoring or locating your destination with pinpoint accuracy.

From entertainment to connectivity and beyond, the Kia Connect infotainment system is filled with innovative tech features that can elevate your driving experience. Visit us today at Kia South Atlanta in Morrow, GA to explore these features and try them out on a test drive.
