Does your Kia have a UVO system? Did you buy your Kia within the last few years? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you may be eligible for a free update that would bring smartphone integration to your UVO system. Whether you have an iPhone or an Android, this innovative feature has the power to make your world more accessible on the go.
Smartphone integration is increasingly common in new cars. Rather than just offering it to new customers like most manufacturers, Kia is going above and beyond to expand this technology to their existing customers too. The free update offer proves Kia’s dedication to providing the best possible technology and driving experience to customers long after they have left the lot.
Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto display your smartphone on the car’s touchscreen for an easier and safer way to access the apps and information you need. View maps, make calls, read and reply to text messages, stream music and more all with the touch of the button or through voice command. The goal of both platforms is to cut down on distracted driving while increasing connectivity and convenience.
A few of the models that qualify for this update are the 2015-2016 Kia Optima, the 2015-2016 Sedona and the 2014-2016 Soul. The website for the UVO infotainment system offers more information on eligible models. To access the free software update, users will need a MyUVO account if they don’t already have one. MyUVO benefits users by alerting them about future updates and by giving them access to great features like post-collision emergency services, car diagnostic information and more.
