What is the purpose of the Kia UVO app?
UVO, which stands for “your voice,” was created using the Windows Embedded Automotive software from Microsoft. UVO’s key functionality is the hands-free voice commands that let drivers use their cellphones to make calls, play music, navigate, and more. UVO eServices, a subscription-free service that requires a smartphone connection to the vehicle through a USB cable, is available on some older Kia models. UVO Link is an embedded system that includes all of the capabilities of UVO eServices and is available in 2019 and newer Kia vehicles.
There are three different types of UVO systems in 2019 or newer models:
- UVO Play: You may access radio presets and more by using the touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are included as standard with UVO Play.
- UVO Link: In addition to the functions of UVO Play, UVO Link also offers remote starting, maintenance notifications, and vehicle diagnostics. You can use your smartphone to access these extra services.
- UVO Link with Navigation: As the name implies, this version includes all the functions of the UVO Link in addition to built-in navigation, allowing you to use your data without a smartphone.
Your unique preferences and the features you value will determine the best UVO for you.
