Hi guys, I watched a youtube video on this upgrade where it was told that Hello kia feature can be upgraded into old models as well. Anybody who did it, can please share their experience.

While I checked in service station they said Voice command update have not received for 2019 models.. however I tried only UVO smart watch app and worked well with all functions.. No idea about HELLO KIA

Hi Prathaap, I also have written to kia and spoken to Kia service centre. No positive response yet. I guess they also don't know whether it will be upgraded or not. Few voice commands were there in old models such as for AC, Volume, maps etc. But can't open driver side window sunroof without the upgrade. Only Hello kia has all these features. Well I think these are just gimmicks but why not have it if it is provided in the car by Kia.

I still feel that it's just a software upgrade. Kia is busy with Sonet otherwise I could have pursued it with them.

Any update on this? Is there any way the Voice control button on steering can be activated from back seat, may be by a blutooth device etc? I dont drive and really need this Hello Kia feature from back seat.
