Kia Over-the-Air Updates Keep You Updated On-The-Go

Keep Your Kia Updated Without the Hassle

At Crain Kia of Bentonville, we’re excited to share how Kia’s Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates make it super easy to keep your car running at its best. Instead of having to visit our Kia dealership for software updates, your Kia vehicle can update itself right from your driveway! Let’s go over how it works and why it’s great for Kia owners in the Northwest Arkansas area.

What Are Over-the-Air Software Updates?

OTA software updates let you improve and add new features remotely and prevent you from having to take it to a technician. These updates help your car’s engine, battery, and safety features stay up-to-date with the latest technology. That means a smoother, safer, and smarter drive!

How Do OTA Updates Work?

Automatic Downloads

Your Kia downloads the newest updates by itself while parked. OTA updates optimize your powertrain, electric motor, battery management system, and ADAS, keeping your Kia running smoothly without the need to visit a dealership. When the download is done, you’ll get a notification on the Kia Access app or your car’s screen. No need to visit a service center—your car does it all!

Easy Installation

When an update is ready, a message will pop up on your screen after you turn off your car. Just follow the instructions that appear on your car’s infotainment. Make sure your car is in Park, the parking brake is on, the lights are off, and the hood is closed. Since you can’t drive during the update, park somewhere safe like your driveway or garage.

Check Progress and Completion

You can see the status of your update on your car’s display screen. When it’s done, you’ll get a notification on your phone and a QR code on your screen. Scan the code to see what’s new! These can include better performance, new features, or improved safety technology.

How to Start Using OTA Updates

• Check If Your Kia Can Get Updates
  • Visit Kia’s website and enter your car’s VIN (vehicle identification number) or model to see if it’s eligible for OTA updates.
• Activate Kia Connect
  • You need an active Kia Connect subscription to get OTA updates.
• Let Your Kia Handle the Rest
  • Once set up, your Kia will automatically download updates, and you’ll get notifications when they’re ready to install. If you need help, the team at Crain Kia of Bentonville is happy to assist!
