    Can speedometer switch between km/h and mph temporally?

    Did anybody find a way to do this? I have a 16 and am in vacation in Canada and see no way to change to KM anywhere.

    Connecting car WiFi with home WiFi

    The only way you can get the Yelp app is to work is through Wi-fi. There are xfinity wifi hotspots all over the place but there seems to be no place to put in your login information after you connect. They are open wifi hotspots all over the US, but after you connect a page comes up where you...

    Multimedia system Versions and Updates ?

    Yes, $40 for a SD card and $200 for a map on a car that isn't even a year old isn't going to happen just on the principle of the thing. Let me know when KIA decides to wake up to 2016 and just send an update to everybody over wifi or data. If they want to provide brand loyalty in this day and...

    Ignition on reminder when key leaves?

    I'd like to be able to disable that obnoxious beep. After I back out of my garage at 6am I have to get out of my car TO close the garage door and I'm sure my neighbors don't like waking up to it.

    Pedestrian Warning System

    The sound is not loud in our 16, and it is a very odd sort of chime, not your typical back-up beep. It seems pretty worthless to me, it is not loud enough to really alert anybody if there are any other noises in the environment at all and its not the type of sound that really grabs people's...

    Winter in Toronto

    Yes, thanks, I went into the scheduled climate charging menu in the EV menu and set it all up. It is now toasty warm and the battery still at 100 when I take off. It is plugged into a level 2. Even with the supposedly super efficient heater it still sucks a lot of battery when I use the...

    Ok, I will have to mess with it to figure out the pre-scheduled heating. I thought it was on the UVO app.

    AeroVironment Level 3 charging issues

    I charged our 16 Soul at AV level 3 chargers successfully a few times last week on a trip, and unsuccessfully at one location as well. It was a location that had other complaints non-Soul related, so if there was, I don't think there is still a particular issue with AV chargers and Souls.

    Winter in Toronto

    Thanks for the info. I will just let it do what it does with the AC on auto heat then. I have been tempted to turn off the A/C light thinking I knew better than the computer. Also on a related note, I was told that if you have it still plugged in in the morning and set the climate controls to...

    Winter in Toronto

    I am a little bit confused by this heat pump, when I hit auto heat, all the lights turn on including the A/C indicator and I thought that made no sense to have both the A/C and heat on at the same time. Somebody today was telling me that this is a more efficient system that uses the A/C in...

    Level 1 charger in the rain.

    I plug in at work at an exterior plug with the included KIA level 1 charger. It was raining yesterday, it charged fine and I imagine the EVSE is supposed to be weather resistant, but was just wondering if anybody had any issues with a charger shorting out or expiring while out in the rain . Thanks.
