Connect Your Smartphone
Linking your phone with your Kia’s entertainment system is a breeze. You can wirelessly connect up to six devices, perfect for families or friends looking to share their tunes. Keep in mind, though, that some trims might need a cable to use this feature. Once connected, you can easily use your apps and phone features on the car’s screen.
Easy Access to Your Favorite Apps
By linking Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can conveniently access your phone’s applications through your Kia’s display screen. This allows you to safely make phone calls, send messages, and navigate without needing to handle your phone.
- Calling and Texting: You don’t have to take your hands off the wheel to make phone calls or send texts. Just use Siri or Google Assistant for help.
- Play Media: Enjoy your top playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks on the go. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you easily access your favorite media apps like Spotify and Apple Music.
- Maps: You don’t have to fumble with your phone for directions anymore. Use apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze to see the route directly on your car’s infotainment screen. These apps also provide live traffic updates, helping you avoid any delays.
Voice Commands
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enhance your driving experience by allowing you to use voice commands. This means you can ask Siri or Google Assistant to navigate, play music, or text for you without touching your phone. Keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road makes your journey safer and more enjoyable.
