Remote start?

[RM7]

aha..you are certainly correct...but while Canada has allowed the UVO app to easily start the car, we southern cousins down here in the USA are sadly not provided the same service online....KIA did make it possible to add the $495 factory option on many of our cars delivered here. Mine had already been added when I picked it up, and it came with that small remote fob along with the usual KIA detonator key, both of which will start my car by clicking the lock and trunk buttons one after the other. But the car stops and beeps the little horn when your time expires, or suddenly when you open the door.

That's bizarre, my 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT N-line (which has most of the same tech as the Stinger) had remote-start via the Bluelink app, in exactly the same way my 2022 Stinger has it. The EGT came with it standard a part of the tech-package and that's the same model-year.

I often find some of the reasons given to be totally bizarre or fictitious. Like for the longest time you couldn't get a remote-start on any BMW 3 or 4 series, they only introduced it with the G20 in 2018. All sorts of rumors would float around that "well, they are made in Europe and it's illegal there". Ok, but then why does the 5-series have it? Why does Volvo have it? Why do all other sorts of cars sold in cold climates have it? It made no sense the way it was explained. This just seems like another bizarre spec decision.

OEM remote will work to start/stop like mentioned above.

FYI.. Engine will stop when you open the door. It also stops after 10 min. (default time, can be changed to 5 min.) AND blast the horn when it shuts down. I (and my neighbors) found this out at 5:30 AM.

In my 2022 stinger grade line the horn doesn’t go off when done nor does the car shut off when getting in. The salesperson at Kia said the one with that awful horn is an aftermarket starter. In other words junk. The only problem with mine is no outside lights light up so I’m unaware the car has run it’s cycle. Any ideas

Why would the car shut off when getting in?

I think maybe I am missing something. I have a 2020 stinger GT. Either I don't have the remote start thing or I am doing something wrong. I tried locking then pushing trunk button. All it done was flashed the side marker lights. Car does not remote start. Thanks for any info.

On my 2019 GT2, OEM key fob I have to click the lock button once then the trunk button 3 times for it to Auto Start.

You may be pressing the trunk button more than you need to. My 2019 GT with factory remote start, I press lock and then trunk once

Another option is the Accessorides remote start. If you get it with the takeover option, it doesn't shut the car off when you open the door. You have 45 seconds after opening the door to get in with the fob and press the brake pedal.

My neighbor's V8 Toyota Tundra has a remote starter, and he runs for like half an hour and then as soon as he goes to get in it shuts off and he has to restart it. It is for security reasons so that somebody doesn't jack your car while it's sitting in the driveway warming up.
His truck is kind of loud, and I always know he's about to leave his driveway when the truck shuts off and then restarts again.

I have the Accesorides without takeover and love it. I’d rather have takeover but didn’t want to mess with anything.

Confirming that you were correct - It only needs to be pressed once as you described.

I have a 21 Kia Stinger and I just installed my accessorides remote start with the takeover and smart phone app.

I would like to hook up my auxiliaries but don't know how. I would like to know has anybody had the chance to hook up their aux to the car and if so what do I need to do to install it?

 

[mackker]

Hi there, random question. Since I purchased take over version, do I need to connect the 2 wires for the module to have power? I plugged in the harness and wanted to test it before I went ahead and spliced wires, but the module doesn't have the LED lights on. Thoughts?
Thanks

Gotcha. I wish I would have know that was an option. They did not mention it at time of purchase of car. But then again. I knew way more about the car than the sales person. Obviously I did not know enough. Hahaha

Even stranger that it comes standard on the baby Stinger N-line lol but tge base GT gets the shaft lol. Currently looking at options for my 2019. Kicking myself in the ass not having them Install it at the dealer when I bought the car. My brain just usually defaults to no effing thanks at the options in the tack this on to ur loan catalog. R. Start is kind of necessity when you live in the land of stretched out O's and -40 Fahrenheit snowy times. Would very much like turbo timer though, anyone know if the OEM r start has that feature, I kind of doubt it since my base GT didn't even qualify for a boost guage lol.

Did you install it yet, and how do you like it?

Unfortunately with the UVO app, if your car has sat more than 4 days it will not remote start. Which is just fanfrickintastic when you work a 7x7 shift and its -20 coming off the plane!!
