Hello kia owners!

Like astir of you, I utilized the kia link until it was free, 3yrs successful my case, and present contemplating if I should renew it.

I similar the app mainy to

• check conveyance presumption - if its locked, the scope disposable etc.

• Then to beryllium capable to commencement halt motor - acceptable the clime power to get the car prepped for a ride.

• Also to find the car successful a immense parking batch by blaring the horn.

But I don't similar the information that you can't power windows from the app oregon from the cardinal fob. The conveyance presumption doesnt study windows oregon the prima roof. How silly is that? What's the constituent of knowing doors are closed portion nary hint if I forgot to rotation the windows and unopen the roof?

The dependable adjunct I conjecture is tagged to kia connect. Its mostly a miss than a hit. I lone opened the sunroof erstwhile with it thing else.

I'm guessing the updates to the in-car strategy and navigation happens OTA via kia connect, but pls close me.

I ne'er utilized the roadworthy broadside assistance oregon SOS features - I recognize it volition enactment lone erstwhile the vi sim has tenable compartment reception.

So bottom-line: I usage it for locking erstwhile I hide to, commencement the motor to chill the car down connected occasion.

So bash you deliberation spending INR 6.5 a time (that's going by 6990 for 3ys plan) connected kia link with it.

Apart from car presumption similar doors, windows, sunroof, headlamps, etc, the app besides tracks the existent determination and maintains a log of each trips. This is large diagnostic to analyse your driving, and stitchery much facts similar mean speed, timing of start/ stop, the way taken, etc. In the Honda Connect app, you tin besides support a substance log- which volition assistance you support implicit details of substance filled, region travelled, substance economy, etc. If you instrumentality services of a paid driver, past I volition wholly urge this subscription. In fact, it is bully to person adjacent for one's ain records. The app besides features a 'geofencing mode' wherever it tin alert the proprietor successful lawsuit the car leaves a marked area.

I usage it for information reasons, the brake pedal gets jammed if I don't usage distant commencement for astatine slightest 5 minutes successful the morning. The app volition assistance maine prevention time, and that's astir it. On uncommon occasions the app is utile to fastener and unlock the car to get something, and gives alerts astir punctures.

The selling Kia has done is commendable, they've enactment dummy pictures for functions similar ac and defogger which don't work. Every reappraisal mentions the convenience, without checking if it works, the ASC conscionable confirmed that fastener and unlock is the lone happening it does, distant commencement being unnecessary is you can't tally the ac.

I'm going to renew it arsenic insurance, an mishap if the brakes don't enactment volition beryllium overmuch much costly successful presumption of repair costs.
