The keyless entry on this car has got to be the worst ever. I've never needed to handle the key fob as much as I do with this car. If the hatch is open when I walk over to the driver's door it won't open unless I pull out the key fob and hit unlock. So if I'm loading something into the back my wife needs to stand there until I press unlock. If the car senses me near the car it'll unlock twice. On the third time I need to get the fob out and unlock it manually. Is my car messing with me or is this just how it is?

Just got asked by Google Play for another round of testing before production approval, so recruiting a few extra people to make sure I hit the mark this time.

To join the test:

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/soopacharged
2. Install the app (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soopacharged.maintainedapp

What I need:
Open the app for a minute or two, every single day, for 14 days straight. Consistency really matters this time — Google flagged insufficient engagement last time around.

What you get:
Free lifetime Pro membership to Maintained once it launches. Happy to test your app back too.

App: Maintained — vehicle maintenance tracker (fuel/charging costs, service reminders, tire pressure, trilingual EN/FR/ES)

Looking for 12 Android testers for 14 days (swap)

Working on passing Google Play's 12 testers for 14 days requirement and would love some testing partners.

2. Install the app (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soopacharged.maintainedapp Or via web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.soopacharged.maintainedapp

What I need:
Open the app briefly every day for 14 days — just a couple minutes is enough, but it needs to be daily for it to count.

What you get:
Free lifetime Pro membership to Maintained once it launches, as a thank-you. Happy to test your app back too, if you're also working on one.

Only looking for people who can realistically commit to daily use for the full 2 weeks — one missed day can reset the whole testing period. Really appreciate the help!

Maintained is a vehicle maintenance tracking app — log services, track fuel/charging costs, get mileage-based reminders, tire pressure tracking, and a "Vehicle Passport" you can hand off when you sell your car. Built it solo, trilingual (EN/FR/ES).

I'm looking for 12 testers for Google Play's closed testing track before I can apply for full production release. Should take about 2 minutes — just install from the link, open the app once, and you're set. Feedback welcome but not required.

I don't know if the big wigs in their fancy suits over at Kia are in here but let me help you make this car better. I have a 2022 EV6 GT Line 2. Get rid of the alternating climate/radio controls. It's great in theory and at first I thought it was cool. But I don't know how many times I've touched by accident the auto climate as I go to adjust the volume. Now my climate needs to be readjusted and I still need to fix my audio's volume. I know that there are steering wheel controls for that but sometimes I prefer the knob. That whole panel could be extended downward. There's plenty of empty space available.

Next gripe. The placement of the seat heating and cooling and heated steering wheel. It's so easy for your hand to come into contact with them as you're making adjustments on the forementioned climate/audio controls. At the very least they need to be angled up to make them more visible.

Third is the auto wiper feature. It never seems to be on or off at the right time. It needs to be better calibrated.

Fourth, why is the car leaving the factory with a crappy sounding premium Meridian sound system. Why did I need to get the system in phase? It sounds so much better now. The first owner drove around for four years with a terrible sounding system.

Fifth, why is there no auto locking feature when I walk away from the vehicle. Walking up you have pop out door handles and side mirrors that flip out. So it knows what state to be in when I'm close but not when I'm far? Obviously there's a proximity sensor so why not do the reverse procedure upon departure? I'm so used to this feature that I've forgotten several times to lock up.

Sixth, still on the keyless entry. Why if I pop the rear hatch and load up when I go to get into the car the doors remain locked? Why am I losing the keyless entry feature? Now I have to either touch the door or get out the key fob.

Seventh, in the centre armrest that bucket thing. Why is it so hard to remove. Is there something to hold onto to pull it out? I bought my EV6 used so maybe something is missing. But if this is how it was designed it makes no sense.

That's it for now. Feel free to add on. If there are solutions to some of this let me know. I've only had my car for a couple of months and haven't had a chance to go through the owner's manual yet .

I'm new to EVs. I bought my 2022 GT Line 2 a month ago. The weather is warming up here now finally. I tried using the AC but I find it to not be very cold. Also the cold air that it produces is uneven. The coldest vent seems to be the centre left one. Has anyone else experienced this? I went to the local dealer and the earliest appointment is in July. I can't wait that long.

Thanks in advance
