Is Kia Connect Worth It?
Whether Kia Connect is worth paying for depends on the features you actually use after the trial — especially remote climate and unlock.

Kia Connect is worth paying for if you regularly use remote features that stop when a trial ends. It is not worth it if you never open the Kia Access app.
