Has anyone successfully installed a remote start on their K900? If so what brand.

I had one installed on our previous 2011 Genesis 4.6 and it worked okay.

It amazes me that my 2011 and my current 2014 Ram trucks came with factory remotes. I can also unlock and start via my iPhone. Same goes for GM products. Why not Kia and Hyundai?

My dealership confirmed to me and sold me a remote start for the K900 when I purchased the 2015 vehicle this month. Now my car is in service to have the remote starter installed and I get a call from my salesman (not service) saying that one can not be installed on the K900 due to the electrical configuration.

This was one feature I demanded in a vehicle do to my needs, now I am stuck!

Anyone have any helpful ideas?

You might contact Advent : Pursuit Car Secuirty & Remote Start : Remote Start to see if they have one to fit the K900.
They have one which you use the OEM remote and can turn on one heat feature . Like seat or steering wheel.
Not sure if it fits the K900 yet

Trade-in for 2016 which has remote start support via phone app

I bought my 2015 Kia K900 on 6/30, and had remote start installed yesterday. Works excellent! The only thing that I notice as being an issue with it is that the mirrors don't automatically fold out when I unlock the car; I just have to push the button to get them to fold out.

Hello Daniel, good to hear you got it done. Can you share what device you used and a link and perhaps the cost? Thanks

Just got a quote from a Kia K900 dealership in the Chicago area. It's not from Kia, but they say can install one for me. With parts and labor they said it will be about $600. I'm thinking about it.

did you ever get the mirror folding to work?
Are you sure you have the mirror switch set to fold and unfold mirrors


I see bestbuy is selling remote start for the K900, or so the local bestbuy says that.

@Gene @K5 Optima Store , Can the module that the k5 store sells for the Cadenza for remote start and auto-unlock of doors when you walk up work on the K9?

P.S. As the price drops on these K9's I think we'll see more of a "younger" crowd like myself start joining the forums. I understand the older crowd doesn't get on forums much.

Great news, sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2017, we will be releasing the K5OS Canbus Control Module for the 15-17 Kia K900 models.

So yes, it soon will work, but as of now is not compatible.
