[@Thecobbchronicles]

Thank you!! I’ve had my Telluride for 3 days and hadn’t figured out how to cancel a route! I’ve been searching and searching! Whew! So glad someone finally mentioned it!!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Ah the little things, you’re welcome! Hope you’re enjoying the telluride so far

[@leahmahoney4771]

Thank you so much for this tutorial; very thorough so I can teach my husband who is decidedly not a tech person!

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome! Hope you and your husband are enjoying your new vehicle :)

[@peaceya100]

You are an amazing reviewer!!! I gotta quick question Will this system have a chance to have google assistant or such apps to be downloaded or some device to allow it on the screen in future?? Thanks in advance

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Vismay! If you’re connected via android auto you’d be able to use the Google Assistant by pressing the command prompt on the steering wheel

[@vivianprice2387]

Just in daily driving, I like my map showing on my main screen & I like different options on the smaller split screen. I took Telluride in for a clean-up. When I got it back, the smaller side of split screen was showing weather. I loved it. After about 3 or 4 days, it disappeared & started showing radio info. How do I set up &/or change my split screen? Where do I find the weather options? I have an SX. THANK YOU!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Check out the 15:00 mark of the video. For weather on top, just make sure the setting is enabled and then drag to the top

[@PhilCookeOfficial]

Is there a way to show a LIST of Sirius radio channels, broadcast radio channels, etc? How can I set that to be the standard menu?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hey Phil! If you haven't figured out the SiriusXM list - when you move into SiriusXM there should be a channel list that pops up near the top right of the screen. I don't believe there's a way to make a list view the standard option though

[@kwame13511]

Will there be an over the air update that will allow the system to have a wireless Android auto and carplay

[@CarsWithSteve]

Different underlying tech unfortunately. There's a device I have incoming that's supposed to give wireless capability. Will post a video once I've had the chance to give it a try!

[@davidcreager4992]

Is there a way to make the radio the Home Screen instead of the purple landing screen?

[@CarsWithSteve]

As far as I know there isn't a way to customize the home screen on the Telluride

[@carlos53k]

Can you remap the voice button on the steering wheel to activates Google assistant or Siri? When I press the voice button, I get the KIA voice assistant.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You have to be hooked up through Android Auto for that to happen. But once you are. Long press the steering wheel button

[@AdelAlberk]

do you know if the 2020 models support apple carplay ? thanks

[@CarsWithSteve]

They should support it - the 2020 has older tech that I don't believe has support for wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay

[@arlenemac7236]

I would then like to know how to recalculate a direction from what UVO has set up. For instance, going down to Florida there are many different routes to follow, we have a specific one and like to stay away from 95 south. It seems they want us to go 95 south but we don't want that. Can we type in the route we want to take in order to follow the navigation screen turn by turn and if so, how do we set that up? Thank you!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hey Arlene! The best way to do that would be to add in waypoints or midway stops on your route. Add in a few that would take the route that you’d prefer to get there

[@arlenemac7236]

@@CarsWithSteve Thank you Steve, did see a waypoints didn't know how to use it so now we'll throw in some points of interest and go from there. Thanks hope this gets us on the right path..... your site is very good in learning many new features Kia has in the Terruride.

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@arlenemac7236 You were definitely on the right track. I'll look at shooting an extended look at the navigation for a future video! Appreciate the kind words, glad that the video is helping you learn more about your car

[@xOzymandias]

so...what does split screen do?(android auto) Are you able to run spotify on the right smaller screen while maps is open on the left? I wouldve liked to see it in action.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Unfortunately nothing just yet. The smaller split screen is just for the features of the car like weather, radio/SiriusXM, Sounds of Nature etc. You can't have any Android Auto or Apple app show up there.. which would actually be a pretty cool feature

[@annemarie7142]

Great video. Im trying to find an answer about user profiles and haven’t had any luck. Maybe someone here can help: what is the point of user profiles? Does it connect to the seat memory setting? Do the profiles save radio stations , car audio set up, or your settings in the infotainment system? So like if I’m driving and hit my seat 1 memory , does that change profile automatically to me? Then, when my husband drives and he selects seat memory 2, does the profile automatically change to him and all his settings? I just want to know what the benefits are with the user profiles.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Anne Marie. You're pretty close with the user profiles. The idea is that you can select different profiles that will remember things like user radio presets, connected devices and things like that. Seat memory isn't tied to the user profile though

[@cindygoodin2753]

How do you get the weather Fahrenheit on the front screen.

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's covered off in this video around the 16:00 mark

[@meredithminear]

When using android auto, I'm not able to listen to sirius. Is this possible?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yeah, it's a weird process to do it though. 1. Launch Android Auto or CarPlay 2. Press the Radio button on the side of the screen and select the station you want to listen to 3. Launch back into Android Auto That should have AA or CarPlay up while the radio is running!

[@karenoconnell2740]

I have a 2023 Telluride S model. Is there only one media plug? I want to be able to use the android auto feature for Google navigation but I also wish I had another media outlet to plug in a thumbdrive loaded with all my music. Is there a way around this? Can I access my samsung music app and play my music thru that? I seem to only be able to access spotify.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Only 1 in your trim level unfortunately.. Easiest thing to do here would be to load all the music onto your phone directly or using an SD card expansion and then play it that way when you're connected to Android auto

[@karenoconnell2740]

@@CarsWithSteve perfect. Thanks for the quick response! I appreciated your informative video.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome

[@petermagallanes1691]

When on Android auto it give you the split screen which sucks; Is there a way to go to full screen? I believe you said at 8:34 that you can but didn't show how HELP!

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's not just you! There have been issues with Android Auto not going full screen as it should across multiple manufacturers. You can contact Kia Canada and let them know - if they get enough feedback, changes can happen!

[@Djshhshzhsjsksk]

You seem very smart, perhaps you can help me. I am old and trying to get an ipod shuffle to work via USB and the car doesn't recognize it in media or am I looking at the wrong spot?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Some older devices won't work in the Telluride. Older iPods/MP3 players usually require to be connected with a 3.5mm cable which the Telluride doesn't have

[@Djshhshzhsjsksk]

@@CarsWithSteve thanx. I have the USB adapter and it's worked forever in my 2012 chevy equinox then I just got this amazing car and was wondering if I was doing something wrong lol thanx again

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@Djshhshzhsjsksk wish it was better news! I find that newer cars tend to not work properly with older devices. Always the option of moving the music to your phone and connecting over bluetooth

[@arlenemac7236]

I have a 2022 Kia Telluride I would like to know if I can or can't add Waze from my android phone to the big screen for navigation.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Waze seems to be one of the apps that won't connect properly through any car via Android Auto - trying to figure out a fix for that one though

[@arlenemac7236]

[@ericwatts7618]

Suggestions on using the radio and apple maps at the same time? I just got a 2022 Telluride and if I click the Radio button and have the music play, then I click the Media button to set up maps on Carplay, the radio turns off. The same in reverse.. if I am using Apple Maps on Carplay, then click the Radio button, the map goes away and it turns the radio on. Then, if I click Media again, the radio turns off it takes me back to the main Carplay screen and not the maps I was just viewing. It is super annoying. Found a hacky solution online saying to program the “mode” button on the steering wheel to be FM and then program the star button to Phone Projection. This works but is super non-intuitive. All I want to do is view Apple CarPlay for maps and listen to FM music. I am having a hard time figuring out why this is such a struggle.

[@CarsWithSteve]

That hack that you used is probably the best way to do it. I'm back at a Kia dealer in a few weeks and can play around a bit more to see if there are any other options though

[@rockandfkingroll7464]

Only had it for a few days but found an irritant. NO BT ANDROID AUTO. Hit MEDIA and I have three things I listen to, FM, Spotify and my big phone playlist -8gigs. My Explorer I traded in did it all fine but now I have to do Spotify with cable in Android Auto. So to listen to FM or my playlist I have to uncable, restart it, and if I want to go back to Spotify, do cable, reload AA to spotify. Is there a dongle or something to fix this Kia fail?

[@CarsWithSteve]

It is odd that wireless Android Auto/Car Play aren't standard in the higher trim levels. There's a company developing a stick specifically for this purpose - I should have a pre-release model in hand to review in the next few weeks and will let you know if it actually works

[@joshualerma7333]

You don't "have to" plug the cable back in to go to Spotify. You can press the "media" button on the dash, and select Bluetooth audio. You might have to start Spotify on your phone, but dynamic controls - such as steering wheel selectors will operate your Spotify at that point. Hope this helps, and I agree, no wireless Android auto is a super let down....

[@blessedgirl2050]

How do I use my own photo for that user profile picture?

[@CarsWithSteve]

As far as I know there's no way to customize it with a unique photo 🤔

[@libbysheets9449]

I have a 2022 SX model but my touchscreen under vehicle settings just only have climate, lights doesn’t have driver assistance or seats, do I need to take it back to dealership because the touchscreen really doesn’t have much features

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hmm that’s odd. The Telluride screen/features should be the same 🤔 without seeing it I couldn’t tell you for sure. But if you upload a video and share it or reach out privately I can make some other suggestions! carswithsteve.com

What can I do if when I put the USB on nothing pops up? It’s just the regular Kia screen and nothing happens

[@CarsWithSteve]

If you’ve tried both ports on the car and get nothing then you can try using an Apple or Samsung branded USB cable. I find older ones or off brand sometime won’t work properly Edit: If that doesn’t work, make sure your CarPlay/Android Auto is enabled. On the iPhone go to settings -> general -> CarPlay. Find your car and make sure it’s enabled Android auto, search for android auto, go to settings and make sure it’s turned on

[@markkimberlysimmons2336]

Please tell me how to turn off nature sounds, they come on automatically when I start the car so I have to go to nature sounds and turn it off every time I start the car

[@CarsWithSteve]

Have you tried changing to audio sources to another radio station or SiriusXM? If you've changed to another audio source and it's defaulting back to sounds of nature you can also try performing a vehicle reset

[@markkimberlysimmons2336]

Thank you so much for answering… also another question 🙋🏻‍♀️ When do we do system updates and how do we find them… I heard someone talking about updates and that it took a while to complete and you leave the car running?

@@markkimberlysimmons2336 System updates are shown in this video briefly around the 15:40 mark. Go to Settings --> General On the SW Info/Update screen there's a button that says update!

You can't do anything with that dead space on the right of the Android Auto area that is just black and says Android Auto and your phone name below? Why won't they let you split screen Android Auto?

[@CarsWithSteve]

You can have android auto split screen but it won’t go full screen for some reason. It’s the same in a number of manufacturers though

[@anthonyg8435]

Please show how to make Android auto fill screen. I have not been able to do that

[@CarsWithSteve]

For some reason Android Auto doesn't always want to go full screen even if you've selected that option under Device Manager. I've emailed Kia on it and am waiting for a response

[@anthonyg8435]

@@CarsWithSteve another thing I noticed is your ambient mood lighting option to dim while driving is not available in the U.S. Very disappointing as I have always tried to get the ambient lighting brighter when out of park but it automatically cuts the britness to about 20 percent after putting the vehicle in drive.
