CyberNinja Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Hello, my EV3 is acting up. On a regular basis, it takes my SATNAV about ten to fifteen minutes to provide me with live access. A message reading "Network connection unstable On board navigation will be provided" is all I ever receive. The message "Service not activated (KIA Connect) not subscribed" appears in the General section, under OTA - Infotainment and Map. However, after a ten to fifteen minute delay, it changes to "Activated." I can connect to the EV3 through the KIA Connect app on my Android phone, and my KIA Connect account is active. It doesn't matter how strong the mobile network signal is; this happens every time I use the car. It was a major pain to attempt to leave London without a working SATNAV. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek2232 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago That seems like something the Kia workshop could handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The car will display your phone's network signal; if the signal is weak, it could be because Kia uses Vodafone to connect to their server and back. Does it operate faster if you drive it to a more open area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNinja Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago The car's location appears to be unchanged. I can see where there is a strong signal on my mobile device—which is a Vodafone SIM—but it has no effect on EV3. There are instances when trips are completely disconnected, rendering the SatNav useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago If you still have trouble, try briefly disconnecting the 12V battery or performing a pin hole reset on the infotainment system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNinja Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago I've previously attempted both of those options without success. I am grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek2232 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Thus, it may be a SIM problem in the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago A Kia dealer should look into it, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
