Both iPhones connected to the Sportage PHEV SX via bluetooth, each on its designated user profile. Once the car is shut off, and then when you come back to start the car again, the phones dont automatically re-establish the bluetooth connection. You have to go into device connections, and then on the iphone press the Kia in bluetooth and press the phone on the screen menu in the car. I know it shouldnt have to be that way. What is going on here? How can i get each iphone to simply automatically re-establish bluetooth connectivy once back into the car each time?

I have an Android phone and my wife has an Apple iPhone, providing us with both Android Auto and Apple Car Play options. From just a navigation point of view, are there any benefits to phone based navigation as opposed to the built-in KIA navigation software? We travel from Canada to the U.S. quite often, where KIA Navi would be free, and the phone based navigation would incur roaming cellular data charges. The other advantage of KIA Navi is that I don't have to plug in the phone to the USB port and would just place it on the wireless charging shelf.

Benefit of the phone nav, especially on CarPlay, would be using Waze for live traffic, police presence etc. I'd use CarPlay or AA in Canada and then flip to factory nav when roaming if you don't have a travel data plan

Does anyone know how to swap what's in each split screen? Specifically I would like Apple car play on the main screen with the map on the small side screen. I swear I had it like that once, but now it's always the reverse. The map is in the main space and the car play is in the small side space. Maybe an update changed it?? Thxs

@CarsWithSteve 7 ай бұрын

When you've got Apple CarPlay active it should be the primary screen on the left. When your phone is connected through CarPlay are you going through the Home --> Apple CarPlay to launch into it?

Just picked up my 2023 KIa Sportage EX hybrid and the phone favorite button is not an option. The contact, last call, mail option all display but not the favorites (which I use all the time).Any thoughts?

@cherylhaskes3739 5 ай бұрын

and I used Bluetooth to connect my iPhone. Call history and contacts showed up but not the favorites.

@CarsWithSteve 5 ай бұрын

Only thing I can think of for you to try is a fix for some other models. Go to the phone contacts list on the media screen when you're connected over bluetooth. Click on the contact and then press the star if there's one showing which should save it as a favorite. If that star option isn't showing the version of the screen your on doesn't support phone favorites. Contact Kia directly if that's the case and tell them it's a feature you want added back in

@cherylhaskes3739 5 ай бұрын

thank you. i tried to select the contact and it does not give me the option to make it a favorite either I have the EV Hybrid model and am so frustrated it is not a feature. Also no homelink in my car. I am going to have to pay to put it in, @@CarsWithSteve

@CarsWithSteve 5 ай бұрын

Looks like the software update pulled that out.. that sucks! Only work around you could do is to duplicate and then number your favourite contacts so they show up first.. So it would be 1 Sally, 2 Amanda etc

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

That's a pretty odd issue. One workaround if you aren't using CarPlay and just use AirPods for phone calls would be to disable the phone connection Setup --> Device Connections --> Device Connections Toggle off the phone connection and make sure audio is highlighed If you are using CarPlay.. I'd have to see if there's a workaround the next time I'm in a Sportage
