Anyone happen to know if Kia UVO's is based on Hyundai's Bluelink? I'd love to build a more user-friendly iOS app for controlling my Niro EV than Kia Connect :P
I use it mostly to track and keep a record of my Niro status.
Thank god we have normal cars as I have never understood the appeal of a smart car since everything a smart car can do can be done with a halfway decent smartphone. * by smart car, I am not talking about self driving cars, I am talking about the gimmick of running some Android and iOS apps on one's car

Well, than having a post-2016 car is ruled out then (I am not completely sure about this piece of info though: I will check, there may be exceptions, e.g. vans). The issue will be about being able to use pre-2016 cars until civilization re-emerges.
(*) According to overheard info from Toyota presenting the technology at the N24 race.
I worked for a modern car rental company where you just need to download an app to drive a car. The tech was super interesting, there are vendors that sell a box with both gsm and ble interfaces and the cars are fitted with these. You can send messages through ble or their cloud api / gsm.
