### Enable Kia Connect & All services

Follow the instructions below: 

{% hint style="info" %}
**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, the UK and Switzerland can provide access to vehicle data from their fleets.

### Data Points

You can find a breakdown of all available data points and the respective data packages in the [Auto API availability for Kia](https://airtable.com/shrxKglVtSpDQSX11) table. Each request returns a timestamp with each data point; it indicates the moment the data was transferred from the vehicle.

### Update Frequency

Kia data frequency varies from model to model, and it depends on the data point. Common data points, such as odometer or vehicle location data, are published at "ignition off" events for older models and at 60-second intervals for newer KIA models. Please check the individual data point frequency at the [Auto API availability for Kia](https://airtable.com/shrxKglVtSpDQSX11) .
