By syncing your compatible device to your Kia Soul, you can navigate through your phone without ever having to actually touch your device. You can navigate using the touchscreen infotainment center or by using voice commands to make and receive phone calls, read and reply to texts, or put on your favorite driving song. In a Classic Rock mood? Ok, Google. 5. Kia Access App The Kia Access app with UVO Link gives remote functionality through your connected smartphone. There's a Find My Car feature available for when you lose sight of your vehicle in the parking lot of the grocery store (we've all done it), and features such as Remote Climate Control and the ability to start your car or turn it off while away from it. Paired with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, your phone becomes the centerpiece of your vehicle and allows for convenience as you've never seen before. For those of you that are convinced (and definitely for those on the fence), it may be a good idea to come down to DARCARS Lanham Kia and have a look for yourself.
