• 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...

Remote start not uvo

Yes, all versions give the OEM fob 3X lock to start ability as a base feature. Anything beyond that for more money is takeover, long range fob, longer range fob, or smartphone control.

I agree, not having to log in every time when you open a remote start app definitely saves time. Especially when internet or server speeds are slow.

KIA Access app used to take at least 2 minutes to start your car when I first used in January 2020. Basically a minute just to log in. Then another minute to send the command before the car actually started. Now it’s more like 10 seconds to log into Kia Access and 30 seconds to send the command before the car starts.

Still no match for CL6. About 5 seconds to open app, send command, car is already started. Arguably even faster to perform than 3X lock with OEM remote fob since most people have their phones on them (especially at home), but not their keys. Also avoids having to look out the window while using the fob to check it worked.

I always like to say the practicality of remote start from the OEM fobs are limited to use while at home. When you are anywhere else (shopping, eating out, walking to/from a venue or building) the OEM fob becomes useless because by the time you are within range to use it, you already almost reached walking to your car. Whereas a remote start app or long range remote would at least allow the car to become warm by the time get to your car.
Our 2020 EX this is not the case. 3x lock button does not do this. Now I know they have had a lot of complaints about it and the 2021 this is a standard feature.

I was quoting @Kronusx12 because he wasn’t sure if all Accessorides starters allow 3X lock to remote start.

This is not a stock feature for 2020 Tellurides. But if you install Accessorides, you are adding this function to the fob you already own. On any US 2020 trim Telluride with push to start.

I installed Accessorides remote start on my 2020 easy as pie. Nothing left I would need comparing to the 2021 model.
 
And I followed your walkthrough (mostly!) and had no issues installing cellular start plus takeover. I was nervous at first but happy to not be at the hands of UVO. If you guys have any specific questions though, groovy to answer what I can!
