So just experienced a strange issue. The car has been parked in the garage since Tuesday (3 days) and my wife went to start it this morning and it had trouble starting (slow to start). When it started it was running a bit rough. She called me out into the garage and told me it flashed a message on the cluster "Battery discharge due to external devices". Now the only thing plugged in to the car was just the Belkin USB cable to the front USB slot adjacent to the wireless charger with no device attached. I wouldn't think that the cable, by itself, would produce any sort of load on the car with or without the ignition or acc on. I know the cable has a small 56k ohm pull up resistor built-in but I'm not aware that the USB would have power while the car's ignition is off. Have either of you experienced this issue?
One thing that came to mind about the battery drain is that I enabled a feature in UVO that car greets you as your key FOB approaches the vehicle's proximity Settings->Vehicle->Convenience->Welcome Mirror/Light-Enable on Driver Approach. This is kind of a cool feature where by the power mirrors extend out and there's some lighting that acknowledges your presence about within about 15' of the vehicle. Now we keep the keys in the house about 30' away from the vehicle and there's a number of walls between the where the keys are stored and the the car itself. When my wife came out to the garage this morning she said that the mirrors were already extended out. I'm wondering if this proximity feature is the real reason for the battery drain this morning and that it's continuously hunting for the FOB as it may detect it ever so slightly at the distance we keep the keys in the house. I had her turn this feature off when she got to work and we've unplugged the unused USB cable from the front outlet. We'll see how this goes. |

Second biggest complaint is you have to enter a password word in the KIA UVO Cell Phone App every time you want to use it. Like I said, this is inconvenient & time consuming. |
