Kia’s Advanced Infotainment System: Tips and Tricks for New Users

You can’t go wrong with a Kia when looking for a new affordable, safe, and efficient car. The lineup has something for everyone, whether you need an SUV, crossover, sedan, EV, or hybrid. One of the best features you can find in any new model is the award-winning Kia infotainment system, which is intuitive and easy to use. We have some tips to get you started, and you can learn more at your local Kia dealer.

Touchscreen Display

Depending on the model and options you choose, the infotainment system in your Kia will be delivered via one of three options: an 8-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, or a 24-inch combined panoramic display. With any option, you’ll be delighted by the ease with which you can access your favorite media, apps, and settings through the quick and beautiful touchscreen interface. The screen includes an integrated blue light filter that can help reduce eye strain and fatigue when activated.

Wireless Smartphone Integration

With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can wirelessly sync compatible devices with your infotainment system. Doing so also gives you on-screen access to some of your favorite apps for streaming media so you’ll never be without your favorite music, which you can control right from your car’s touchscreen. You can also use your favorite navigation app to cast the map and directions to the screen for a more convenient experience on your way to your next destination.

Voice Assistance

The infotainment system includes a voice assistant, which activates when you press the “Voice” button on your steering wheel and say, “Help” to see the list of available commands on your touchscreen. You can unlock even more voice control features by syncing your smartphone, which allows you to make and answer calls and texts while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road for better safety.

Kia Connect

A free trial of the available Kia Connect service comes with all new Kia models. A smartphone app connects with your infotainment system and allows you to control convenience and safety features from your phone or even your smartwatch. You can remotely start your engine, find your parked Kia, lock or unlock your car even if you’re miles away, and set the temperature before you head out to ensure your comfort as soon as you get behind the wheel.

To experience the infotainment system’s features for yourself, stop by Courtesy Kia in Altoona, PA to explore our models and go for a test drive. We’re happy to show you around the system and help you make the most of your new car.
