KIA CONNECT

Note that if Kia Connect services are disabled in the vehicle, no data transfer takes place. Upon Kia Connect deactivation, the vehicle gets removed from fleet telematics by Kia and is marked as revoked in our system. The vehicle can be activated again only if Kia Connect has been re-enabled.

Supported Markets

Kia vehicle owners in the European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland can provide access to vehicle data from their fleets.

Data Points
