Do you have a Niro EV '3' or '4' spec car as only they have the required modem for remote communication and hence are supported by Kia Connect?

Are you using the Infotainment screen and using the QR Code displayed to complete the registration of Kia Connect, or are you manually typing the VIN? It's much easier to just use the QR Code to save typos.

Have you read and watched the notes from Kia on how to do this from this link here?

When I got my car, I think I had already registered my account for Kia Connect on the Kia website, so it was just the installation of the App on my phone and then going through the setup wizard on the Infotainment screen to link my car to my profile. I just pointed the phone at the QR Code to scan, and it all went through seamlessly.

 

Ah ok i have the 2 spec didnt realise that didnt have it, so only 3 and 4 would support pre heating on a schedule then no way to set that on a Niro 2?

Cheers

 

Hi & Welcome.

I think you can schedule preheating via the head unit.

Time to delve into that lovely fat book that Kia provide 🥵

 

But first take a course in code breaking at Bletchley Park. The first online version is even more difficult to crack.
