UVO worth the price

[quinsta01]

Hello, we have a 21 SX that we didn't renew the UVO contract on. Other than remote start and service reminders it didn't seem like it was worth the price. Can anyone out there enlighten us? Thanks

I thought it was KIA's version of onStar. I was under the impression that you can use it for directions, emergency assistance etc. I haven't used it for anything other than the remote start and monthly report.

I still have 2 years to go with it so, I'm not sure if I will renew when it comes time.

Here are two longer discussions. Basically comes down to how much you rely on it. If you don’t live in a really hot or cold climate, probably not necessary.

UVO Expiring Soon

My UVO subscription ends at the end of this month. I don't think it's worth paying for, at any amount per month, given so many other car companies include this free. I have remote start on my key fob and do like that, so that's not affected. What else will I be missing? I do use Android auto...

Anyone able to negotiate a discount on UVO?

As an SX Owner, really annoyed have to pay a premium on top of my lease to have remote start. I obviously knew this has been coming at some point once my free year was up which is next month. Anyone able to negotiate a discount? I'll pay for it - but not $22/month. I'd do $100/year. For...

It's up to you if it's worth it.

I just renewed mine for a year earlier this month.

I like having the native navigation, weather, emergency, and remote access features using the car's own cell service.

I’m coming up on 11 months of owning Night Ranger, and just for kicks, I logged into my UVO account to see if I would be offered any discounts. The Ultimate package is being offered for $199 for another year. I see that Kia has a slot for promo codes. Anyone know any, or call in to get a better price than the $199? I’d like to continue it, but I’d like to get it for the best price possible, of course…

Car companies want to make billions by charging monthly fees for features like heated seats, but buyers won't pay up

How would you feel about paying $10, $20, or $100 per month to access features already built into your car? Some buyers are calling foul.

This might just be the start of these fees!
