Nope! Just the features listed above. However, we do have another module we might be releasing to the Stinger market, that allows for memory to be saved. So..... If you leave the heated seats on when you turn the engine off, with this module, it would return back to the same condition each time you get into the vehicle and start it up.
Any plans for a cellular based system that can be activated by a phone app rather than the very limited range factory key fob?
If we have the old original module can we trade it in + cash
I dunno, not being able to roll down the windows with the remote was a big let down for me, also disappointed there isn't an autolock feature encase I forget to lock the car. This fixes both of those things.
It’s only 300 for the remote start ? With all those added features? Is install easy?
Unfortunately, I do not believe this is something the manufacturer is working on at this time.
I would respectfully have to agree to disagree with you there. The fact that you are able to use your original factory remote, don’t have to turn the engine off when getting into the car just to start it back up again, the added proximity unlocking and locking of the doors when you approach the vehicle or walk away from the vehicle, among many of the other features, it definitely makes this product much more beneficial, convenient, & worthwhile than the factory remote starter. However, no matter how cool or beneficial a new product is, it won’t be for everyone.
Old module? The new product for the Kia Stinger has not yet been released. We also do not do any types of “trades” here, unfortunately.
Exactly, just the proximity locking and unlocking of the doors is pretty darn cool. You never have to worry about forgetting to lock your doors when walking away from the vehicle.
Yes, that is correct. It is $300 for this product which includes all of the features listed with the exception of the auto window feature which will hopefully be introduced sometime later this year. Install is not easy, and not for the faint of heart. This is a very involved product that taps into several connections on the vehicle. We highly highly recommend professional installation, and to solder all of the connections as well.
We will definitely be making a new post, posting it in our Kia Stinger Facebook group, and making sure that everyone is aware of it.

This would be my first time doing any aftermarket modification so sorry if my question is stupid but you make the install sound very complex and I don’t want to chance screwing up my car. Will it be easy to find a shop in my area (Austin, TX) that can properly install this remote start? If so around what should I expect to pay a shop to professionally install it?
Your question is not stupid at all. I just wanted to be very clear that the install is NOT easy and that yes, it is very complex for someone not familiar with wiring and soldering and what not. It should not be difficult to find a professional automotive shop that can do the install for you. In terms of costs, it will vary as labor rates vary from city to city and state to state. However, with that being said, a 3-5 hour install would not be unreasonable, whereas it should only take a very experienced tech 2-3 hours to install, where someone not as experienced may take 4-5 hours to install it. This should give you an idea, as you can check around with local shops on their hourly labor rate. Hope this helps!
Awesome, glad to hear it Rango.
Okay so a quick google search told me that most independent auto shops charge between $70-$90 an hour for labor and at $300 for the unit I would be all in somewhere between $550-$700 if I take the $80 average.
Sure my pleasure! Best of luck to you, but before you buy anything, make sure you research the OEM remote start option and the pros and cons to it as well. Our product is much more than just a remote start option. (Which also does not require you to turn the engine off after getting inside and restarting again after using the remote start feature)
I agree but I am more worried about getting this aftermarket option in the mail and then taking it to a independent auto shop to have them first ask me “what kind of car is this” then after explaining its a new Kia to compete with luxury German brands etc.. To second handing them the included instruction manual and the biggest third to expect excellence for the install. I do a trade for a living and the first time I ever do something even though it may be very similar to many thing similar I have done before many times it is never my best work.
Don’t get me wrong your product sounds like the better option than what the OEM offers.
