Kia Connect
Your Kia is already a smart machine. Kia Connect at North Edmonton Kia makes it smarter. Serving drivers across Edmonton, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove, Alberta, Kia Connect bridges the gap between you and your car in ways that change how you interact with it every single day.
Kia Connect Remote Features
Kia Connect is an app-based connected car platform that puts real-time control of your vehicle directly in your pocket, turning everyday routines into something far more efficient and genuinely satisfying. Some standout features include:
- Remote Start with Climate Control: A cold morning hits differently when your car is already warmed up and waiting for you. With this feature, you set the interior temperature exactly where you want it before you ever reach the door handle.
- Remote Door Lock/Unlock: Left the parking lot and second-guessing the doors? This feature shows you your vehicle's live status and lets you lock or unlock it even well beyond key fob range.
- Find My Car: This tool logs your exact parking location automatically, so after a packed afternoon at a busy lot, getting back to your Kia is completely effortless.
Contact our Edmonton Kia dealership to see which models include the full suite of remote features.
How to Set Up Kia Connect
Enrolling in Kia Connect takes just minutes, and the service runs free for the first three years of ownership. Two paths get you started right away.
First, download the Kia Connect mobile app from the Google Play Store, the App Store, or BlackBerry App World. Tap "New User" and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you prefer a desktop setup, visit www.kiaconnect.ca, hit "Register," and the process is just as quick. Either way, you are up and running the same day you sign in.
Kia Connect Subscription Plans
Once your complimentary three-year trial wraps up, three subscription tiers keep the connected experience going.
- Care plan covers the safety essentials: Auto Collision Notification, S.O.S. Emergency Assistance, enhanced roadside support via the in-vehicle "Breakdown" button, and a Rear Seat Occupant Alert that gives parents added peace of mind.
- Plus brings everything in Care and adds Remote Start with Climate Control, Remote Door Lock/Unlock, heated and ventilated seat management, Remote Horn/Lights, and the Find My Car tool.
- Ultimate builds on Plus with Digital Key 2, route guidance, calendar sync, live weather data, speed camera alerts, and software update notifications.
Each tier is a clear upgrade over the last. Check out our current new Kia inventory to review current pricing and pick the tier that works best for your daily drive.

FAQs
Can Kia Connect help me find a charging station for my electric vehicle?
Absolutely. Kia Connect includes a built-in Charging Station Locator designed for both EV and PHEV drivers. When your battery runs low, the system sends a notification and routes you to the nearest available charging station at the tap of a button.
What is Kia Digital Key, and how does it work?
Kia Digital Key allows you to access and start your vehicle using a compatible smartphone or smartwatch, fully replacing the physical key fob. Once activated through the Kia Connect app, you can share digital key access with family members or friends right from your device.*
The Ultimate plan includes Digital Key 2, which expands this functionality for a more advanced connected ownership experience.
What are Kia Connect Map Over-The-Air Updates, and how often do they happen?
Map Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates are a convenience service that keeps your Kia's built-in navigation accurate and current without a trip to the dealership. Updates download directly through your vehicle's head unit approximately twice a year on average.
The system handles the entire process on its own, so your maps stay up to date and your routes stay accurate without any extra effort required.
