Step-by-Step Kia Connect Setup Guide
You only need three things to start the process: your smartphone, ability to download the Kia access app, and, of course, access to your Kia model. Follow these steps to simply set up Kia Connect on your vehicle.
- Either on the App Store or Google Play, depending on if you have an Apple or Android phone, search for the “Kia Access” app, download it, then log-in or create an account.
- From here, you’ll need to connect your vehicle to the app. This is done by entering your VIN into the app, and confirming through a verification code.
- Now it’s time to activate the system on your Kia. On the dashboard screen, select “Activate Kia Connect,” click that you have a verification code, then enter the one you got.
- On your phone, select that you have entered the verification code. And that’s it! The connection between your phone and vehicle has been verified.
