[@cheryltulley1]

Oh thank you, thank you for this video! I've been looking up so much stuff about my (new to me) 2015 Kia Forte sx Koup and there is a lot I don't know. I love my new car - its power really caught me off guard. You would know that the sx model has a different engine, with more power. When I opened it up for the first time on the highway I was genuinely surprised at how much it felt like I really was driving a sports car and not just one that looks sporty. The car is full of little (and not so little) features. I've always regretted that I didn't learn to drive a standard (I tried once when I was a teenager - in Brantford btw, I went to high school at North Park! - but I was trying on a 1940 fully restored BIG Chevy(?), got pulled over for driving too slowly, and didn't try again, damn it lol) ANYWAY, this car has "paddles" on the steering wheel and that gives a bit of a sense of gear shifting? But I'm not clear on how to use them, or when. I have 3 requests for video topics. The first is aimed at people who didn't know much about cars to begin with, but now, with such rapid strides in technology, it's not understanding on steroids lol. So, a kind of beginners class (there's a lot to cover; I can't think how you'd fit everything in a 15 minute video). Here's something for example... I know my car has a bigger engine than the other 2 koups - the ex and lx. But it's a different Kind of engine, is that right? What's the difference,how can it be that it purports to get better mpl than the lx and ex models? There is so much going on in this car, feature-wise, (it's fully loaded except for a sunroof weirdly) that I feel I've been doing more reading about driving than actually driving. I would love a video that went through how things work, to a target audience of people who want to know more about how to use their vehicle fully. #2 - can you do a show about troubleshooting the remotes? They are great when they work but it's too easy to bugger things up. I accidentally moved a switch on the driver's door so it was no longer on the automatic setting. That stopped the windows from folding in when I'd push 'lock' on the remote. The fix is easy - just move the switch back to automatic. But I never Did find an answer to that. Not in the manual, not on the net. I happened on it myself. And that's just one example. Here's another that I cannot figure out how to fix. I have a two-way remote starter as well as the regular one. It worked when I got it but it doesn't now. And the work-around you can do (do people know there's a way to remotely start their Kia without having to shell out to buy another?) doesn't work either. So I know I've done it. I Think it might be that I somehow put it in valet mode. But I can't find a way to fix it. And why does the 2 way remote have so many buttons now instead of the one-button kind that everyone else seems to have? I can't find Anything on the two way kind. The last idea is what you talked about in this video. But aimed at those of us with older models. My 2015 has uvo but it meant something different back then. It took me forever to learn this and sorry, but every Kia number I called, including the one devoted to uvo, had anything to say besides some version of "the 2015 forte does not come with uvo". It made no difference that I told them the screen started up after a reset with "welcome to uvo". I FINALLY figured out that this is like uvo without a brain. Well, with a much smaller brain. So is there a fix? I hope these suggestions appeal because I could really use the advice. Thanks if you got to the end of this very long comment! Cheryl

We plan to address a number of things in these Kia classes. We tend to focus on newer vehicles, but many of those features will be relevant to older models as well. I won't be making long videos on these Kia classes, but I will make several shorter ones. Hopefully they'll help you out!

[@BrantfordKia]

Androids always seem to be a little more complicated. I would have a tough time diagnosing over the KZbin comments. Fun fact, our dealers don't receive any training on Android Auto to help us troubleshoot with our customers. It might be worth asking your dealer, or stopping by to see if they can help. Maybe they've run into the issue before, usually it's something simple, but I'm not sure without seeing the phone in person. I'm sorry.

[@BrantfordKia]

The 2020 Forte does not have wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. When you're using your phone wirelessly, that's using a Bluetooth connection. I'm not sure if a future software update will allow it on current Kia vehicles, but if they do, I promise to make a video about it. Thanks for watching!

[@jerryschneider2356]

@@BrantfordKia - I doubt Kia will make it an upgrade, even though the entertainment center runs standard Linux operating system and it would be trivial to add this feature. That's why I detesting my 2020 Niro PHEV purchase so much. Rotten dealership didn't tell me that it's only useful with a USB cable, and I'm telling everyone I know to be careful because Kia likes to hide the lack of these features in their menus. I couldn't even find wireless A-A setup in my 3000 page user manual. Is there some place that does after-market upgrades to my Kia? It would be a good idea for a small company to develop fixes for the crappy factory software.

[@SuffolkLI]

Base model Rio has this feature, but my 2019 GT2 Stinger doesn't . Unreal.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yup! To be fair to Kia though, the alternative is that they wait to introduce great technology until it's on the higher end cars, and that has its downfalls as well. With Kia, if the technology is ready to go, they introduce it right away on the next vehicle to launch, and that vehicle often ends up with class leading technology. I don't see many features on a Corolla that haven't already made it onto a Lexus, but I think this is how Kia improves at a faster rate than the industry. The new Kia Carnival is about to have some technology that the Stinger and Telluride don't have, and again, it's going to make that minivan a class leader in some areas.

If you have an iPhone, the most common issue is that people aren't using the factory cord to connect their phone to the car. Other than that, there's a setting in the settings of your phone that says CarPlay, make sure that "switch" is clicked on. Other than that, it should work. As I said, the most common issue is that the cord used is an aftermarket cord, and it charges, but does not move data. It has to be a high-end cord.

@@BrantfordKia thanks for that. I bet maybe as you say a software upgrade may do it but I’m betting it will happen when ether the car gets a face lift or a new version of the Niro arrives like the new sorrento.

[@silverflash1675]

does the new kia picanto has it too? (picanto 3.5)

[@silverflash1675]

just to clarify, i meant to ask if the picanto also has a wireless connection option.

[@BrantfordKia]

I'm not sure. We don't sell the Picanto here in Canada. You'll have to connect with a local dealer.

Could I update my Kia Rio 2018 navigation system to use this wireless Android Auto?

[@BrantfordKia]

The 2018 Rio won't have a wireless Android Auto option right now.

[@EPK_AI_DUBS]

@@BrantfordKia By "right now" do you mean it might be possible in the future via software updates? If so, how could I see a full list of software updates for my kia? Thanks for the answer btw

[@BrantfordKia]

@@EPK_AI_DUBS The short answer is that I don't expect an update to be made available for your car, the more convoluted answer is that there have been hints that SOME cars MAY receive a future software update to enable it. The real answer is that I can't get anyone to confirm what is going to happen or not happen with this, and it's one of the most commonly asked questions that I get. As I know more, I'll definitely make a video, but right now, I don't know.

Will this work on a 2019 Kia Sorento sx????

[@BrantfordKia]

Haha!! That's a trick question! The 8" screen on the Sorento comes standard with this. Now, in the K5 the 8" screen has this function but the 10.25" screen is waiting for a software update to make it work in those cars. I assume it's the same for the Sorento, but I haven't had that officially confirmed as of this minute. (short answer is, I fully believe that a software update will enable this soon in the Sorento with the large screen)

[@athmene38]

@@BrantfordKia So you are saying a 2019 Sorento with the 8" screen should support wireless Android auto? I have an SXL and mine always requires me to plug the cable in, is there an update out there that I can apply to make this possible?

[@BrantfordKia]

@@athmene38 sorry. I misread your question. I was referring to the 2021 model. I'm not aware of an update for the 2019 model... I'm hoping for one, but I have no information on an update to previous year models.

Yes, you can add multiple phones, but of course only one can be paired like this at a time.

2020 Kia Sportage, carplay keeps disconnecting, been like that for a year. Wired only.

You may want to check your cord. If not, you should probably connect with your service department to see if they can offer any insight.

[@acidbran]

@@BrantfordKia not the cord. Trust me I know my way around electronics. Apple says it’s Kia, Kia says it’s Apple. Meanwhile Android works fine. Kia said they have no idea at my dealership.

Ooh... I'm not sure. The best way to check is to look at the wording on your radio screen. If it says that you need a USB cable, then it's not available.
