Saw an article online today somewhere about Kia beginning to support some Pixel phones for the digital smartphone key. Since I have a new 7a I went to Kia Connect and requested a passcode that was sent via text, then took the phone out to try the pairing process. In the past I've always gotten the device not compatible message, but this time it synced right up. I did not have to enter the passcode so don't know if requesting that is necessary or not. Anyway, seems to work fine for locking, unlocking, and starting, you don't even need to have the app open. Good luck all other Pixel owners!

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...
