This issue with the auto start temp being preset to 72 every time the car is shut off is frustrating to say the least. Its been 95-100 here this week i auto start my car half expecting to get inside a nice cooled car yet i get into a warm car. Whats the point to even have auto start if you cant preset the temp the night before ? Can anyone explain why its like this? First car iv owned that has had this preset temp.
AutoStart factory temp 72? WHY!

Me too! Preset temp AND only a 10 minute timer. That does DOG ISH when it's 100 degrees out, and when it's 0 degrees out. I'm lucky to get both extremes and god it's annoying. I restart my car with the auto start at LEAST 2x in the winter...and now I'm moving from RI to NM so it's going to be great...I'm thinking about trying to trade my car in for the AWD GT-Line with UVO...
I found an older post that talked about this issue on here. Someone suggested to try and find the settings for Remote Start Climate Control in the instrument cluster Settings menu.

To summarize, go to Settings -> Convenience -> Remote Start -> Climate Control -> Heater -- A/C, then set it to either "Auto" or "Last Setting".
Unfortunately, I am away from my home at the moment and, as such, cannot try it out myself.
K5 remote start temp
Hi there. I have the K5 GT line with the premium package. Does anyone know if there is anyway to adjust the interior climate temp so when I remote start, it starts higher than 72 degrees? I can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve turned auto off and on. I’ve left the temp set to high hoping the next...

The problem is a lot of Gt line like mine is not equipped with Uvo access.. I even called UVo to get it plugged in but said most GT lines FWD do not have the UVO Access. I got the premium package too and didn't have access unfortunately.I found an older post that talked about this issue on here.

This only works if you have UVO. the GT-Line and below doesn't have it. Thanks Kia!I found an older post that talked about this issue on here. Someone suggested to try and find the settings for Remote Start Climate Control in the instrument cluster Settings menu.

The GT-Line AWD has it.

My GT-Line AWD disagrees with you, I use UVO almost every day.
Unfortunately, only the Premium Package that came with the AWD on the GT-Line had it. I don't know why Kia did that and made the trim segmentation even more confusing. I had thought that they made it more of a streamlined experience but I'm finding out that it's just as convoluted as everyone else, even down to the options.

Interesting. My dealer it seems only ordered in the GT-Lines with the Premium package and AWD, all the GT-Lines on the lot had UVO.
I'm not sure if you can access this as well without UVO or have tried doing so already but try creating an account on the Kia owners portal here:
Kia Owners Portal
Once you've created an account, go log into it using the website portal. On the bottom of the page, there should be a tab for Remote, which should take you to this page:
![1016]()
Once there, click on Remote Start next to Security near the top. You should see something like this:
![1017]()
Hopefully you can access that without UVO and let you adjust remote start settings for your car.
Let me know if that helps!
:Edit:
As a note, this offered more granular settings than the UVO app on our phones.

I'm fairly certain you need UVO in order to use the website for remote start functions.
