Kia Vehicles with Apple CarPlay in Kenner, Louisiana

If you're car shopping for Kia vehicles in the Kenner, Louisiana area, you'll be happy to know that there are plenty of Kia models with Apple CarPlay™.

Since we live in the digital age, there's no doubting how important convenience is. Automotive engineers are constantly updating software and tweaking Kia models to ensure that vehicles are more user-friendly.

Apple CarPlay™ is the system that allows drivers to sync their iPhone® technology with their Kia vehicle. The system is available through Kia's UVO display screen.

What Can You Do With Apple CarPlay™?

Drivers who utilize Apple CarPlay™ can use some of their favorite iPhone® features, such as:

• Make phone calls: Listening to voicemails can be a hassle when there's no time. If you need to listen to a missed call or book a phone appointment, ask Siri® from your UVO screen or via the steering-wheel controls.
• Send hands-free texts: Send a text without tapping a thing. Simply ask for Siri® and say the words! She can even read the texts back to you.
• Enjoy music & apps: With our busy schedules, sometimes the only time we're able to enjoy that podcast or audiobook is on the commute from work to the office. Thanks to your Kia vehicle's modifications, you can bask in personalized content from iTunes®!
• Access Predictive Navigation: We all get a little lost sometimes. The days of scrambling around for your phone are gone. Ask Siri about directions by simply saying the address. CarPlay® can help you find nearby areas and will even predict where you're heading based on destinations stored in your iPhone®.
• Use Siri® voice control: This feature allows you to use your voice or steering-wheel controls to access your apps.

The best part about Apple CarPlay™ is that is entirely hands-free and accessible, thanks to our available UVO software update.
