There is an online event today at 19.00 from KIA Denmark, it will be some "experts" showing the cars, and answering questions.

Does anyone have any questions they want answered?

I already have a couple of questions regards to the OTA

Yes please. How to set/change the colours on the sat nav map. I just drove a GT 'S' and the screen is really dark. The sales rep didn't know what to do. We found how to change the screen background to white...........which was far too bright and there was no colour definition e.g. green for forest or parkland, blue for river , yellow for roads etc. Most disappointing.

Yes, do the 2 screens automatically change to night mode when it gets dark (or you go under a bridge, etc.) or do you have to manually change to day mode (white screen) or night mode (black screen). I couldn’t see anything that suggested it was automatic which would be very odd not to have an auto setting. If you change the screens to day mode and cover over the sensor they should change to dark mode.

The screens will DIM for day/night transitions. That is something completely different than dark or light themes. Those are manually configurable.

Will a receiver hitch be offered on US bound EV6's as an option?

Hey @Chip Yes Sir there will be a tow hitch option. I'm honestly guessing that it will not be available until summer of next year at least.

Unfortunately, it is set by time of day. Go to:
Setup -> Screen Theme/Layout -> Graphic Themes. Select Scheduled Time, enter the start and end times.

This just mens you‘ll have to adjust the times as the seasons change. Kinda less than satisfactory, especially since essentially every other car for the last 5+ years uses their ambient light sensor to change the display to dark mode.

Hopefully, an OTA update will correct this. I’ve asked my dealer to pass this along to Kia, along with the missing ”Walk Away Door Lock“ feature. Perhaps if more of us complained to our dealers it would make a difference.
