Stolen Kia Stinger GT1 (Southern California)

[Steven Mejia]

A thief got access to my key and stole my stock ceramic silver Kia Stinger GT1 (License 8KUV562). It was stolen from Moreno Valley, California and last seen headed towards Riverside driving erratically. If anyone spots the vehicle please contact law enforcement. I appreciate all the help. Thank you.

That’s not the proper way to get out of your lease...

 

[CKeeler]

I’ll try to keep an eye out for it

Can you use the UVO app to track/lock/stop it remotely?

 

[Buzzrush]

I gotta ask...how did a thief get access to your keys?

US models don't have UVO functionality.

US models don't have UVO functionality.

A: Could you do any of those if you DID have UVO (ie Canada)?
B: Can KIA still help track it without UVO or is the hardware just not there? I'm not familiar enough with GPS to know.

The car can be located just not through the UVO app or by you personally. I assume you have called Kia already?

Well! "Access to my key" suggests to me that they read it to a laptop, and used that signal to fake entry and startup. Am I right about that? Here you stand with your fob, and no car, because "they" stole your key code.

Probably broke into his house and stole the key along with the Stinger. Either way, hope you get it back ok.

With keyless entry, some people may be able to increase the remote signal's distance to unlock your car. That's why some people choose to build/buy a faraday cage for their keys.

That’s where my vote lies. Since we haven’t heard anything for over 24 hrs now.

Yes, but -
Lock doors: No
Unlock doors: No
Remote Start: No
Remote Stop: No
Heater On/Off: No
Defroster On/Off: No
Open Hatch: No
Close Hatch: No
Heat/Cool Seat: No
Where's My Car: Kinda (If I told it when I parked)
Alert Nanny: Yes
Call Roadside
Assistance: Yes, in case I lost my phone. Oh, wait. If I lost my phone, then UVO doesn't work. So: No
Current Mileage: Yes, provided I manually enter it on my phone every time I move the car. So: No

So my hope for UVO is Eat s**t and die!
