- Changed: Kia Activation Flow

After integrating Kia’s new push-based consent flow and completing the migration from the previous pull-based consent model, we closely monitored vehicle activations on our platform.

During this process, we identified that Kia’s push services can be affected by two main factors:

1. Driver-configured e-Privacy settings Vehicles running software version 2024 RU24.2 and above allow drivers to control data sharing via the e-Privacy setting. When enabled, this setting can block full or partial data transmission. In such cases, a vehicle activation may appear successful, but no data is delivered.

2. Outdated vehicle software Some vehicles require a software update to properly support the current data and consent flow. Without the required software version, data delivery may not function as expected.

This behavior did not apply under the previous pull-based consent model, and the operational impact only became fully visible after the migration to the push integration.

At present, Kia does not provide an API that allows us to distinguish whether missing data is caused by e-Privacy settings or outdated vehicle software. From a platform perspective, the observable behavior is the same: the vehicle is activated, but no data is transmitted.

To prevent unnecessary costs, on 23.02.2026 we revoked all activated Kia vehicles that had not delivered any data. As we cannot technically differentiate between the root causes, this step was necessary to avoid unintended billing. We are working with Kia to ensure that affected vehicles are excluded from the February billing cycle and are proactively reaching out to impacted customers.

For vehicles potentially affected by outdated software, Kia has instructed us to share the official update portal, where VINs can be checked and update instructions are provided:

https://update.kia.com/EU/DE/home

Customers can enter their VIN on this website to verify the current software version and review available update options.

We have raised the overall topic with Kia and are awaiting further clarification and potential improvements to increase transparency around activation and data availability.

Please note that reverting to the previous pull-based consent model is not possible. In addition, the pull integration does not support many newer Kia vehicle models that are increasingly relevant for our customers.

- Changed: Parsing Dashboard Lights for Renault

Due to false-positive values reported by Renault vehicles, Renault shared a parsing approach with us to eliminate this noise. We have implemented this approach accordingly.

2026-02-02

- Added: New static data API

We have integrated new DAT API which is provided under GET /v1/vehicle-static-data/{vin}/data

It provides more structured vehicle data point. It implements DAT's FinanceLine/soap/VehicleIdentificationService:getVehicleData API.

- Deprecated: Static data API

Endpoint GET /v1/vehicle-static-data/{vin} is deprecated in favour of GET /v1/vehicle-static-data/{vin}/data

- Changed: Kia Push Packages (migration period 02.02.2026-06.02.2026 13.02.2026)

Scheduled maintenance: https://status.high-mobility.com/maintenance/813505

Kia is introducing new push packages that offer higher update rates and support additional Kia models. These changes include updates to pricing and data availability per package. The new packages are available in our data catalog in Airtable and will be updated in High Mobility Console: https://console.high-mobility.com/

Affected customers have already been informed. If you have not been contacted by us, no changes are required.

Migration Plan

We are planning to temporarily pause vehicle activation while adding the Kia push package to existing vehicles. Once we have confirmed that it is working as expected, the pull packages will be disabled.

During this transition period, customers receive duplicate data for their Kia vehicles.

• 2026-02-02: Vehicle activation and deactivation for Kia vehicles will be temporarily paused.

• 2026-02-03: Migration of customer packages will begin based on previously agreed pricing and package configurations.

• 2026-02-04-2026-02-06: Data feeds will be monitored. If everything operates as expected, pull packages will be disabled.

• Due to not all vehicles providing data via push, we have extended the maintenance window. The connected vehicle should still provide data as the old packages are still active.
