Voice Command Navigation Not Working

I have a 2023 Kia Seltos that I bought about 10 months ago. Recently, my voice command for navigation stopped working. It loads for about 10-15 seconds then shows an error message saying ‘could not connect to server.’ Does anyone know how to fix this Thanks!

To use this feature, make sure you have a strong signal to reach the server. Kia Access uses Verizon. If you’re on that, check that you have full bars. If you’re using your phone, you need at least 3 bars or the voice command won’t work. Kia and Hyundai systems can be very picky about this.

Did you find a solution for this I’m having the same issue with my 2023 Forte GT-Line. The voice works for calling contacts, but not for voice navigation anymore. If I try to tell it to go somewhere, it waits a few seconds then says ‘could not connect to server.’ I have full signal and I’m not parked under anything when I try.

No resolution yet.

I’m facing the same issue with the same car model. I can’t find a solution. It’s really annoying. Now I have to park the car and type my destination. It worked fine until about a month ago.

I had the same experience since I got it in October, but now it won’t accept voice navigation input. I keep checking KIA’s website for a software update, but the 2023 Forte GT-Line isn’t listed:

That’s frustrating. I’m going to contact my dealership to see if they can help. Good luck to you.

I’ve been having the same issue with my 2023 Seltos It’s so frustrating, and I can’t find any answers or ways to troubleshoot.

I have the same problem with my 2023 Kia K5 GT-Line. I’m going to try a factory reset of the system and then look for an update soon.

Did you have any luck with the reset

@Merritt
No luck with the reset Sorry :disappointed:

I have a 2022 Kia EV6, and I’ve been having the same issue for a couple of months. It used to work perfectly.

With so many of us having issues across different Kia models, it’s likely a software issue or Kia may be having server troubles that prevent communication with the car.

I keep checking this post to see if anyone has an answer. I emailed Kia last night about it but haven’t heard back yet.
