The Soul is crammed full of the newest technological innovations that appeal to drivers of the future, aside from Bluetooth, which is a basic feature. A SiriusXM radio system, a USB/AUX port, steering-wheel-mounted audio control controls, and a trip computer are included with all three grades.

Why won’t my Kia’s Bluetooth function?
- Try unplugging every gadget from the Kia and removing it from the infotainment system permanently. One electrical device should be connected at a time. To prevent connectivity problems, Bluetooth should be turned off on any additional devices that are not in use. Turn off Bluetooth on both your Kia and your smartphone. Restart both your electronic gadget and the vehicle after that. Restart both, then turn on Bluetooth on each and try connecting once more.
- To improve the Bluetooth connection between your smartphone and the Kia’s infotainment system, clear the area around it of all clutter, including coins and pens.
- A full charge should be present on your smartphone. It will emit a weak Bluetooth signal when the battery is low, which might lead to issues like dropped calls.
How can I tell whether my vehicle has UVO?
In order to use the touchscreen in the car, you must turn your key to the accessory position. When the touchscreen’s boot-up process is complete, you must:
- Click SETUP.
- Activate the UVO icon.
- Select “Activate UVO” from the menu.
Make sure to read and agree to the system terms of service before pressing the SUBMIT button. To obtain the verification code, you must enter a functional mobile (smartphone) number or email address. Click SUBMIT once again. It’s just simpler to use your smartphone to receive a text message with the code, which is what we advise.
A link to create a Kia Owner’s Portal will be sent to you.
On the screen of your phone, there will be detailed instructions for that. You will receive a verification code after finishing the portal account setup, which you must enter on the touchscreen user interface.
What can I do with UVO?
You may not be aware, but UVO stands for “Your Voice.” The technology includes a voice-activated assistant among its functions. You must identify the UVO panel in your car. The location of this technology on later Kia models will be on the roof. Three buttons on this panel will each have a separate function.
- The button that is farthest to the left will have a lowercase “I” in a circle that will inform you of the UVO capabilities that are now available.
- To access the search function to locate attractions like restaurants, press the UVO button in the center.
- You can contact roadside help by pressing the button that is farthest to the right, which has a red phone enclosed in a red triangle.
How can I connect my phone to my Kia Soul so I can play music?
- Using Bluetooth audio streaming, it is possible to listen to music stored on a mobile device in a vehicle.
- Only when a Bluetooth phone is connected can Bluetooth audio be played. Connect the Bluetooth-capable phone to the vehicle’s audio system to start playing Bluetooth music. Please see “Pairing and connecting the unit and a Bluetooth phone” for further details on connecting Bluetooth.
- Some mobile phones might not support the audio streaming feature. Between the Bluetooth handsfree and Bluetooth audio functions, only one can be used at once. For instance, the music will stop playing if you switch to the Bluetooth handsfree while it is still playing Bluetooth audio.
