In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us.
Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in it ?
They removed the start/stop from the key fobs and paywalled it behind the app.
Edit: yes yes, I get it, I was wrong. No need to tell me again lol.
There was a minute when it wasn’t on the key fob for a lot of the Korean cars. My extra wife’s 2022 Kona, fully loaded, doesn’t have remote start on the fob, only through the app.
What are you referring to? I have a 2022 Kia and I press the lock button then hold the start button on my key fob to start it. Same sequence to turn it off.
I subscribed to the app my first year with the car mainly because I was able to reimburse it at work. It was nice being able to start remotely no matter how many floors away I was in the winter but since I work from home now I didn’t maintain the subscription anymore.
