How to fix the Kia UVO iPhone app error: "The vehicle does not respond to the service you requested" (Kia e-Niro 4 UK 2020 registration)

When trying to refresh the status of my Kia e-Niro 4 in the UVO iPhone app (AKA Kia Connect), I kept getting the error: "The vehicle does not respond to the service you requested." See screenshot below:

The way to fix it, as recommended by the users ClementsJ and NGee on the Speak EV electric car forum, is to reset of infotainment system by pressing the small button on the right of the audio on/off volume control, as pictured below:

I used a Parker jotter mechanical pencil to depress the reset button next to the volume control.

Look for the UVO reception at the top right of the screen.

Please note that this is just the classic IT trick of turning it off and on again. It doesn't do a factory reset, so I don't think you will need to repeat any setup steps.

  2. Thanks very much, several UK Kia Dealers had absolutely no idea other than book the vehicle in (mid to late November). I'm really disappointed with Kia
