Kia Access Pros

✓ Awesome software but you have to pay after the trailThe frustration related to delay due to cellular or GPS connection many people expressed here is understandable. However, I agree that Kia should make Kia connect free for the first five years or lower the price forever….and maybe for those cars without immobilizer completely free forever and or update the security settings etc. I got a 2023 Sportage Hybrid in July 2022. After my purchase, I found out about the TikTok challenge of “how to steal a Kia or a Hyundai in one minute”. I went into panic and spent hours researching for added security and theft deterrence for my car, even though it is equipped with immobilizer. While being able to track the car’s location increases the recovery rate if the car is stolen, I think it’s still the manufacturer’s responsibility to have the state of the art security system. I have not looked into my insurance’s cost compared with, say, if I had purchased a RAV4 Hybrid, but I am sure the insurance company takes make/models that are frequently targeted into consideration. If the consumers had known this ahead of their new purchase, it would have really hurt Kia. So, I am shouting out to Kia to “give back and upgrade”. Another note to the Kia keyless entry owners, make sure you put BOTH of your key fob in a faraday bag every night. Google this and you will see what I mean..NicktzerVersion: 5.8

✓ 1 YearI have had this app for nearly a year now. It’s still slow. 🐢 Faster to go outside and start the car as opposed to using the app (useless). I spent hours on the phone last year “there’s a lot of work on the backend and we’ll be pushing an update soon.” ❌ People still complaining about how slow the apps is. Now, since the last update, I can’t access the finance section. Neat. UPDATE: Love the new update!!! Simpler layout makes it easier to read and use. So far... so far... it seems faster for remote start. Finally, the heated and cooling seat options for remote start. Vehicle status right at the top! So far so good! Apple shortcuts next😅? App responds better now. Nice touch with the watch, but if I have to sign in on my phone just to use the watch app, I might as well just keep using the phone app. I get security and all that, but it kinda defeats the purpose..Iav8imcVersion: 4.8

Kia Access Cons

✗ Not even if it were freeThe fact that it doesn’t save my login info and that I have to type it in every single time is so annoying to me that I don’t even want to use this app. And I’m currently in the free trial period. Once you do log in, it rarely works and/or takes forever. So by the time you’ve logged in and connected, you’re at your car and can just get in and start the car yourself. I saw the bad reviews on this when I was researching the Optima and the reviews are accurate. When I downloaded the app at the dealership I said to the salesman, “the app only gets one star.” He said “that’s because it’s new and only has 88 reviews” I didn’t feel like arguing with him - we all know how reviews work. But to his point, it IS new but needs massive amounts of improvement. However, even it was improved, I still wouldn’t pay for it. $30/month to be able to start my car remotely and maybe control the climate? That’s insanity. I’ll just walk to my car like I’ve been doing my entire existence or maybe even get an aftermarket auto-start..PrettykittychloeVersion: 3.4.0

✗ Getting betterWell I just left a positive review recently and now have to change it. Apparently there has been ANOTHER update and now my car won’t start. It also says it’s just my heated steering wheel that will turn on and not my seat? And why is the rear defrost not a separate option? I rarely need th defrost period. This needs to be fixed It’s definitely working much better now than it did the first few months. I’ve had my Telluride for 8 months now and it was a royal pain at first. It is still frustrating how long it can take to actually start the vehicle, but as I said, it is definitely better. Apparently I’ll have to start paying for this once my year is up but no one has ever been able to tell me a cost. I say another post that said $20-$30 a month. That would be insane to have to pay! Don’t force people to pay for an app and not give them the option of a keyfob for remote start! Come on, Kia! I paid a pretty penny for this vehicle and shouldn’t have to be sucked dry to remote start my car..Momof5kVersion: 3.6.0
