AC Seats 2016 Kia Optima

Question

My 2016 Kia Optima SXL Push-To-Start comes with heated and AC seats. Is there any way to activate the AC seats on remote start up if the outside temp is above a set temperature? Summer is already here in TX, and I would love to have this. I have the Evo-One currently installed in the vehicle. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

No the only feature available at this moment is to trigger an AUX for temperature under 5C.

Your suggestion will be transfered for future update.

Thank you !

Answer 2

The yellow/black wire in the EVO 20-pin connector is an AUX output once option 25 is set to whatever the user needs. Having the output activate is done typically via an RF-KIT AUX function or via option 39 which automatically activates the AUX ouput when the car is remote started and temperatures are BELOW 5C (so not for your case).

 

Having that AUX output would require research into how your seat AC operates in order to trigger the proper circuits. This info is not available. Only info available is for Heated Seats.
