• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I have a 2020 Telluride and I have had the APP for Free until now. (Warranty expired)

The 2020 DOES NOT have remote start on the FOB (basically the only use for the APP and remote start is very slow)

Now KIA expects me to pay for the APP (which I would never do) and you have to enter PAYMENT information BEFORE it will even let you know the cost. WTF?

Bye Kia

All the prices are clearly listed at owners.kia.com.

The levels that allow remote start are Plus and Ultimate. Plus is $15/month, $150/yr; Ultimate is $20 or $200,

Buy an aftermarket remote start solution if this is such a problem and you don’t want to use the Kia Connect service.
 
The 2025's have 3 years of the ultimate package for free. Maybe time to trade up?
