I've had my e-Niro for around a month now, but cannot seem to get LIVE traffic updates on the SatNav. UVO is working fine, and I have "activated" Kia LIVE ([SETTINGS] > [Data/Network] > [Kia LIVE] > [Information sharing notice] then press "activate") and I appear to get weather icons if I zoom out on the map (indicating, I presume, a "live" connection) but still I get NO live traffic data in the SatNav. I have heard that I need to tether to a Wi-Fi hotspot via my phone (I don't believe I should have to) but even that I cannot try, as I have no Wi-Fi option when selecting Data/Network. Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong, or how I can activate live traffic data when using the Kia SatNav?

They probably forgot to register the head unit Device ID with TomTom (who provide the live traffic and speed camera data). Have a word with Kia customer services 0333 202 2990 who should be able to get it registered for you.

If your car has the app you don't need to connect to a wifi hotspot for traffic since your car can already access T'internet through the cars SIM!

Hope this helps

John.

If you are getting live weather and charging station info, then it’s unlikely it’s a registration issue.

I notice on BlueLink (which shares common code with Kia UVO) that the traffic info is a bit hit and miss. I don’t live in a major urban area so I often see nothing at all in the traffic list. It might be just that...
