— Thriving Blossom   Jul 14 · v7.29.1
★☆☆☆☆  Terrible experience and support
This app is not good. Digital key stoped working randomly and customer service says not my problem we can tow it. Feature only work half the time DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE.

★★★★☆  Best car ever

I can’t seem to be able to remote start my vehicle before I get there. I have tried a few times and nothing.

★★☆☆☆  Hard to navigate
Requires frequent logins. Hard to navigate.
— Russ4332   Jul 12 · v7.29.1
★★★☆☆  Radio presets vanished
Latest app update removed all the radio presets on my 2022 EV6.

Message appeared saying updating configuration on the head unit and then all channels were gone. Not an OTA update. I don’t have that feature. Any help Kia support?
— Cliff_D   Jul 12 · v7.29.1
★★☆☆☆  Barely Functional
This app is such a pain. Every time there’s an update it clears all the notification settings and my phone is flooded with: your doors are unlocked, your car is charging, your car is 75% charged. Leave me alone!
I turn off the warnings again and again and again. This app is expensive and super annoying. I expect better!
— BCGilly3   Jul 12 · v7.29.1
★☆☆☆☆  Manufacturing
This car is a joke
— ccarmusic   Jul 12 · v7.29.1
★☆☆☆☆  The whole feature needs serious upgrades
Key works less than 50% of the time. Defeats the purpose.
— None nova   Jul 12 · v7.29.1
★★★☆☆  Map of Charging Stations
We were nearly stranded because the App filtered out Tesla Charging Station on our route which did not charge our Kia due to the lack of credit card reader. We tried getting help but the customer service was off because it was Sunday evening. It will be great to improve the filter of the Kia App and also the charging station Infra Structure.
Thank you.
— Sir Squigly Beard   Jul 12 · v7.29.1

I really like the way it’s let you about if the car s locked or not . Thank you for that reason alone.

— Austin123N   Jul 11 · v7.29.1
★☆☆☆☆  Love the car hate the app
There is not one thing in this app that works well. It’s hard to set up, hard to use remote features, and impossible to trip plan or find charging stations that will actually accept charge pass.
— Nhshopper   Jul 11 · v7.29.1
★★★★★  I love this app
Great app on all tasks that offer for their clients
— yzaki26   Jul 10 · v7.29.1
★☆☆☆☆  Stopped updating
It worked 2 days and then stopped updating. I keep getting errors when I send a command to the car. The app shows that my car is unlocked when in fact it’s locked.

One of the worst apps I've ever used. Slow, clunky, complicated, poorly laid-out interface. Frequently gives errors. If there was another option to remotely interact with my vehicle, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

★☆☆☆☆
I can't ever get a photo of the surroundings, and it doesnt always connect to unlock/lock the doors. I've been stranded because I left the car running with the keys in it (it was 100+ degrees that day) and locked it with the app. Then maybe 5 min later, I couldn't get it unlocked with the app and my son had to bring me my spare set from the house. Nothing like my husband's Ford app. The Kia app needs some serious updating and fixing. Oh, and the car should run for longer than 10 min at a time!

constantly tells me doors are unlocked when they are not. Kia tech line seems to have no idea how to fix it, they've been trying for over a year and a half now, seems like they are just grasping at straws, and have closed my case multiple times without resolution

the overview screen does not have the tools I use the most... especially changing the charge level. it's painful figuring out which icon it is under. Also the app can be intermittent which is bad when it controls many features of the car.

★★★☆☆
The overall features on the Kia Access app are appealing, but the functionally leaves a lot to be desired. Logging into the app can be challenging, especially if you have poor internet signal - which can be frustrating if you are using the vehicle access features. Navigating the app is not very intuitive so finding features can be difficult, and some of the Connect capabilities only exist on the automobile, even though you may assume that you could find them in the app.

I lock my car and then find out the app wasn't working and the car is unlocked. which doesn't make sense cause when I unlock the car with the fob it will lock right before I get to the car. the app doesn't sync to well with the key fob and the car very well. sometimes you'll lock the car after unloading groceries but the system sends left a car unlocked notice. go back and the cars unlocked. the whole thing is annoying.

— Qbshdjxb   Jun 30 · v7.29.0
★★★☆☆  New Features are useful, but needs bug fixes
The new updates are useful, however, it would be great to see the exact tire pressure from the phone app, and the gas gauge display is not functioning. Shows 0% always.
— Marcos Y.   Jun 30 · v7.29.0
★☆☆☆☆  LOL
Your 2 factor ID won’t allow me to scroll up to access the request text button. I just get the upper border of both buttons. If course the “cancel” button works fine but the one needed to get a text apparently only works if I hit a very specific part of the upper border. Maybe you could allow me to scroll, or at least allow the app to go into landscape mode so I can access the button? If not then the app is useless to me and will not be renewed.

★★★★★  This car is awesome
I absolutely love getting in my car. A complete JOY!
— Roz511   Jun 29 · v7.28.2
★★☆☆☆  Verification codes
I’m not a fan of the constant verification codes when I’m trying to use the app. There is already a Face ID. We have more then one driver that uses this car, and only one email to send the code to, or phone number. If I can’t reach my husband , I can’t verify its use. Absolutely awful!!!’
— Nessa Pan   Jun 28 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  programming
There should be 2 different auto start times per day not only one
— snowplow1225   Jun 28 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Constantly Says Commands Worked When They Didn’t
Kia Connect is far too expensive for an app that only works when it feels like it. The biggest issue is reliability. I’ll send an unlock command, the app says the vehicle unlocked, but when I get to the car, it’s still locked. The same thing happens with lock commands. The app says the vehicle is locked, but it’s actually not.

Remote start is even worse. The app frequently tells me the vehicle is running, only for me to walk outside and find that the car never started at all.

For the price Kia charges for this service, it should work every single time. Instead, it’s a frustrating guessing game. An app that controls critical vehicle functions needs to be dependable, and unfortunately Kia Connect simply isn’t.

This app is worthless. I am handicapped and I try to start my vehicle once in a while. But no, the app won’t let me. What kind of bs. is this. Fix this nonsense.
— Mike Bear and Hoppy   Jun 26 · v7.28.2
★★★☆☆  Can’t utilize anything
Recently (past couple months) it’s been acting up, claiming I have no vehicles and that I need to add one. Closing and reopening a few times seems to get it to work but it’s annoying
— NikaThia   Jun 24 · v7.28.2
★★★★★  THE BEST
The absolute best thing KIA did was make this app! Love it here 😊
— JessHairKrazy   Jun 24 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Not easy to use!
I’ve had nothing but trouble since I purchased my Kia have not been happy at all with the car and certainly not the app and they charge you way too much to get any of the features that you really want!
— orangespice70   Jun 24 · v7.28.2

I understand charging for more features, but not providing ANY basic functionality in free version is beyond poor customer service.
— TXnatv   Jun 24 · v7.28.2

— 5Manangement   Jun 23 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Kia access don't work
My kia access is not working, car won't start when I go to activate it. I can think of a lot of things to do with my $200. FIX THIS NOW🤬🤬🤬
— Big easy674   Jun 23 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Clunky and slow
Like the massive bulky physical key for my EV6, this app takes forever to log in and do the obvious, everyday things like unlocking, charging, starting. It has too many features and is not seamless or natural in its every day utility. This app is only helpful as backup, not as every day access. It has lots to learn from other EV access apps such as Tesla.
— Kellmch   Jun 22 · v7.28.2
★★★★★  Helpful and Works
At first I was very skeptical of the features of my car with the app; but they have worked most of the time, sometimes i have to close and open it to get it to work or log out and back in. Some features I will never use again (only tried them out and for fun) other features i use most days and im grateful for them. If you have a modern kia i would get the app, you wont regret it.
— yam99055   Jun 22 · v7.28.2
★★★★★  Great EV
It’s perfect for me. No worries about gas and definitely some power. Small enough to zip around the city and slide into small spaces. And enough truck space to haul my camping gear.

Could have a faster start up infotainment system. But hey, otherwise great car
— mikomiles   Jun 22 · v7.28.2
★★★★★  Car
Great app
— Fun alt   Jun 22 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Lock feature unreliable
No matter where I am, the lock/unlock feature is very unreliable. It only works less than half the time. It will say it’s locked, only to find out it’s unlocked. It will also say it is unlocked when it is not. We can’t ever trust it! And you can’t lock the car without the key, so that’s really unsafe! We once went out of town and my car remained unlocked for a weekend because there was no way to lock it without the fob (my neighbor checked it several times and tried locking it with the button) and the app wouldn’t work!!!!
— MelanieC78   Jun 22 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Kia Connect Activation Flow Is Completely Broken
Update: I contacted customer service again, and unfortunately they still cannot provide any timeline for a fix. The only information I was given is that there is an issue with my account.

At this point, it has been over 3 days and I still cannot log into the app.

Whoever worked on the activation/deactivation flow needs to seriously revisit this feature.

For the past two days, Kia Connect has been completely unavailable for me. There was no notice, no explanation, and no ETA provided. The activation flow is confusing, unreliable, and leaves customers with no visibility into what’s happening.

The whole purpose of Kia Connect is convenience and remote access to the vehicle, but when the service goes down or activation fails, customers are left stranded with no information. It’s incredibly frustrating to pay for a connected service that can suddenly stop working without any communication from Kia.

At a minimum, Kia should:

* Provide proactive outage notifications.
* Give clear status updates and estimated resolution times.
* Improve the activation/deactivation experience so users aren’t stuck in limbo.
* Consider compensation when customers lose access to paid services for multiple days.

This experience has been disappointing and has significantly reduced my confidence in Kia
— Ike Huang   Jun 22 · v7.28.2
★★★☆☆  Limited free access
I loved having the Kia app to access my Niro EV Wind 2023 to be able to lock the doors and cool the car down if necessary, but it only was good for 90 days and now a subscription is required. I thought that was too short of time. One year free would’ve been more generous.
— starshot7   Jun 21 · v7.28.2
★★★☆☆  Needs impu
I appreciate some of the information but I get WAY too much trivial notices
It’s intrusive

I love absolutely EVERYTHING about this app. My favorite feature is being able to lock my car doors no matter where I am. I had to leave my car to get detailed over night and I noticed when they closed they didn’t lock my car, I was miles away and I simply hit a button and poof it was locked. Best feature EVER. Being able to start it from the app is also high on my list. Awesome app for a awesome car

★☆☆☆☆  Notification on verification
The app required a verification, but it did not prompt me and I left my car. My car was unlocked all day and I would’ve relied on the system to tell me that, but due to the verification not active or the app not active. I did not know so when I got to the car and saw the door still unlocked, I went into the app and realized I needed to verify.

★☆☆☆☆  Inconsistent
This app is great and convenient when it works well. But it often doesn’t I’d say almost half the time I get some kind of error message. That there’s not enough battery power to support remote commands. Or there’s some kind of communication error. And if one is parked somewhere where there’s not good cell service, then one is out of luck.
— cliffbrake   Jun 18 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Too much, too long to use
Poor functionality!☹️sometimes it just stops working. Often takes too long to turn car on. Temp is not easy to update. Don’t even try having to reinstall or complete an update 😭😭
— MsOrga9iz   Jun 18 · v7.28.2
★☆☆☆☆  Legit dollar-tree quality. Embarrassing.
Basic remote start if equipped, lock, and unlock from a phone is not a premium feature anymore. It is basic. Ford has been doing this seamlessly for over five years for free. The fact that Kia wants to charge a subscription fee after the trial for this broken, slow piece of junk is an absolute embarrassment.

The Kia Access app feels as bad as it looks too. It is the slowest, most static app on my phone. There is zero button responsiveness, no feedback, and it takes 30 seconds of spinning just to figure out if a command went through. Half the time it just logs you out or freezes on a blank loading screen.

To top it off, the virtual assistant is completely useless. I asked it a simple question: "Do I have an appointment scheduled today?" it vomited five paragraphs of text explaining how to book an appointment and pick a preferred dealer. It didn’t even answer the question.

Remarkably unintuitive, lazy execution, exactly like my experience shopping with Kia. Not surprised. But hey I am throwing in my application to vibe code the Kia access app! Couple days tops!

— Lifelong subscriber   Jun 17 · v7.28.2
★★★☆☆  Quirky things happen in this car
I have adjusted to the differences like adaptive cruise and lane control but the fact that I’ve been locked out with my keys and phone inside by unlocking passenger door and shutting to have it self lock me out..call me stranded .. the dash board causes so much danger by having to switch off between heat and air controls an media.. drop some of those useless options and lay down the virtual window and make it a single view also the lock out wheel button is too close to gear shift and I’ve accident hitting while not noticing and the driving too fast in 4 wheel.. this cockpit design is a fiasco as well as glare to outside mirrors from inside lighting and sun on chrome blocking views for passing
— Ninjac5868   Jun 17 · v7.28.2
★★★★★  Hardly ever works
Update…. I did not update the app or change any settings and suddenly it works almost perfectly! I’m not sure what changed…..

Previous message….The app crashes immediately when I try to open it 95% of the time. When it works it’s great but as it crashes almost always it is almost totally useless.
— Manifold65   Jun 17 · v7.28.2
★★☆☆☆  Inconsistent
Love the capabilities and the overall performance. The start up option within the app isn’t consistent- AT ALL! I also have the option set for my doors to lock when I remote start and that NEVER works. I’ll walk out and my car never turned out because the feature didn’t work! Very frustrating.

Remote start commands work maybe 4 out of every 5 times, which is a minor pain point but not the end of the world. In the past like 2 weeks or so, however, the app suddenly no longer has the option to adjust heated and cooled seats in my car, which it always had the capability for in the past. My subscription is still active and has not changed, and apparently other users are having this problem recently as well

unless i am within 10 ft of my car the app sucks to unlock/lock. everytime i try just inside my house it never once has worked for me. defeating the purpose of wanting to just lock from anywhere. only thing the app is even good for is to show me my gas percentage. don’t recommend

★★★☆☆  Unreliable
UPDATE: crashing issue has been fixed. But it still does not provide range estimates for gas or electric. PEEVIOUS: Keeps crashing. And when it does work it doesn’t give any info on charge level or range. Often ‘forgets’ to charge only during designated hours. Hate to think the same people who designed this app had anything to do with designing the car. Tried install and reinstall and software reset in the vehicle but nothing works to make this reliable. Contacted developer by phone but person wasn’t familiar with issue and said she would contact me back but never did
— evening clouds   Jun 12 · v7.28.1
★★☆☆☆  More Features Needed
Good for locking doors and remote access. Doesn’t track diagnostics of vehicle easily. We are overdue for an oil change and the app doesn’t tell us. Tells us how much gas you have but no indications on oil life. Service history is difficult to locate on the app.

★☆☆☆☆  Utterly useless for cars older than 2022
Kia discontinued the eServices (UVO) app in May and encourages Kia owners who had been using it to download this app instead. DON’T BOTHER. It is useless. I mean, I can log in, and it has my vehicle listed as linked to my account, but it doesn’t actually DO anything. (I don’t NEED or WANT an app to make a service appointment, that’s what I have a bleeping phone for.) My car runs regular monthly diagnostics but can no longer upload the results to my account, which is the main thing you want an app like this for. So the old app doesn’t work anymore, and the new app doesn’t do anything. Might as well delete them all. What a slap in the face to longtime Kia owners.
— Run CMcD   Jun 11 · v7.28.1
★★☆☆☆  Super buggy
This app rarely updates. I’ve found it as useless as it is useful. If I were Kia, I’d invest way more in tech. This app should be way better.

★★☆☆☆  Broken app
I didn't want to do this in a review, but the link for app support is broken, so here I am: Since the last update, the app doesn't work at all. Every time I tap on it, it opens halfway and then crashes. This has been the case for over a week, very frustrating. I've uninstalled and reinstalled in an attempt to get it working again, but nope.
But since I'm writing a review, I will also mention that I frequently get messages that the command I've entered "cannot be completed at this time," often enough that I decided not to pay money for any of the upgraded options. Not paying for features that often can't even be used, due to poor app functionality.
The immediate issue is to repair the app so at least it will work again, but in the long run make it function better overall.

★★☆☆☆  Iffy working
The app was working great and now it’s giving me issues. I can’t open it. It starts to open then closes. I tried to start my car through the app and it did not start. Once I started my car, my air conditioning was on. I did not have it on when I shut the car off. So the app must have turned the air on but not the car. I deleted the app and redownloaded it. That did not fix the problem. Turned off my phone and back on. Did not fix the problem. So not sure what is going on with the app. When working, it’s a 5 star.

★★★☆☆  The app in my iPhone 16 is crashing
Ever since adding a charge schedule as to when my Sorento PVEH should charge (off peak hours) the app tends to crash all the time or not even launch. And how when it does launch it has stopped showing my Battery level. I called tech support and they said Battey level isn’t available for PVEH systems but then after reinstalling the app the battery level showed up again. And now after a day of no issues is crashing again and also not showing the battery level. Geez! I think the latest version update has some bugs that need to be addressed
— cactusjumperslm   Jun 3 · v7.28.0
★★★★★  Works well but support could be improved
Update 3 June 2026. The link to app support here on the App Store still links to a page that no longer exists (404 error). Would like to see a dedicated app support option in the app that can capture relevant log files and personal information to submit a ticket for the app itself. I did get a response from the developer to contact Kia support, which I did about my car not being displayed in the correct color in the app. Kia support submitted a ticket and a few days later I got an email from Kia saying the problem had been fixed. Nice! Overall functionality of the app is great and it handles our two Kia vehicles with no problem.

Definitely one of the best automotive manufacturer apps that I have used… The only thing that stops it from getting five stars is that the overall navigation is not quite as logical as I would like to see it… Sometimes you have to hunch to find particular settings
— JR1968x12   Jun 1 · v7.28.0
★★★☆☆  Meh
It could definitely use some polish and a heavy update to make it more intuitive. MOST importantly it should stay logged in (if the owner chooses) so I can always use the widgets and watch apps but now when I need them I have to go to my phone and log in first which makes them pointless. It’s definitely usable, but could be so much better, especially considering how amazing the vehicles are!

★☆☆☆☆  Free trial was good but…
I was never told the car came with a free trial, then one day my app stopped working. I couldn’t start the car or do ANYTHING with the app. The dealership said it needed an update so I had them do the update, only to be told by someone who works for the app company when I called to have everything set back up that if I want to use all the features (really and truthfully any of the apps features other than checking the status of the car) I would have to sign up for a subscription, costing either $19.99/month or $14.99/month on top of my already extremely high monthly car note. They have lost their minds if they think I’m doing that. I may have considered it at one time years ago before the world turned into nothing but greedy, power hungry, corporate corruption, but definitely not now, and ONLY if the app would allow the car to be remotely started lasting for 30 minutes like my husband’s FREE Ford app does for his F-150. I have only personally owned Kia vehicles and if I didn’t have so much negative equity in the car I would probably be willing to trade it in for a different brand. But I can’t even trade it in for another Kia without having my payments go from $850/month to $1500/month, which is the same as my monthly mortgage! So no I do NOT recommend this app after the free trial.

★★★☆☆  Kia app
App takes long to refresh. There should be option to not have locations you’ve been to saved . Also it takes to long to lock or open doors etc. also the start option for car needs every 5 min increments instead of 10 min meaning I might want to put my car on scheduled auto start @355pm but the only option is 3:50 or 4:00 or 4:10…. 3:55 or 4:05 or 4:15 would be great

★★★★★  Best ever Kia tracking my Sportage
OMG I love my Kia and all the on line features. I can keep track of everything and pre start the engine and put the seat warmers on when it’s cold out.
The display keeps me going with the music channels and phone hook up.
Also the controls on the steering wheel but best of all the cameras!
It makes driving so easy.
Thank you for listening to the customer and creating a vehicle that is such a pleasure to drive!

Has been more reliable lately than in the past, but still takes a while to load when opened. Sometimes, remote-start initiates but vehicle does not start. Frustrating when you expect to return to a cool temp car in the brutal summer heat. *has gotten better, but needs QOL improvements. too many clicks needed to get to button to start car. there should be a button immediately after opening and authenticating in app.

Any good will this app earned with its features has been used up by the annoying bug that forces vehicle selection when you open the app. The months this has been happening is way too long for an app you use every day. Already went the support route and they were no help.

Salesman set up App on 2026 Kia Sportage Prestige. I've had it 9 months. The screen goes black and says I need to set up my key fob. It's already set up. I have to hit ok and the previous screen appears. Also if I use the App to unlock my doors it takes so long to do this I would be mugged waiting on the doors to unlock. I feel like the App is draining my cell phone battery. I'm going to uninstall it. I don't want to get my cell phone out of my purse to unlock the doors either.

I love it, but there are annoyances. like I have 1 Kia, why do I have to click it, then click select this vehicle. Seems like 2 unnecessary clicks. even if I had 2 Kias, it'd be more convenient for it to default to last selected vehicle. 90 day log out is annoying too.

App is clunky. I use it for my EV6, and the most frustrating part of it is the length of time it takes to login, repeated login requests *while using* the app, and the length of time it takes to send, process & complete mobile requests. Maybe it's because these cars use a 4G modem, maybe it's the server latency... but something needs to be fixed. I've been using this app since 2019 for a previous Kia and these issues persist. They are unacceptable in 2026.

Kia Access is very convenient and acts as a reminder if your doors are unlocked, or if there any system issues. Being able to remotely lock my doors if by chance they are unlocked is a super option.

Horrible experience. I rented a Kia and was forced to make a profile. I'm doing so, I was enrolled in a trial subscription. after turning in the car, I was unable to delete my profile and couldn't end the subscription. Kia support said I had to download the app to delete the profile and end the subscription, but I still couldn't. I could still see the car I turned in and could remotely start/stop the car and see its location. It took Kia support days to remove my account and end the trial.

there is no shuttle service at all Kia dealerships / service department. When signing up for a vehicle service, this is listed as a possible option regardless of which location you choose. You have the surprise of no transportation option. Also, you are given standard options of services which included services I did not even see listed on the app, that I did not want. This will mess up your entire appointment. I came in 7:30 am, now I'm figuring out how to get transportation.

this is one of the worst apps I used in years. the design of the app is horribly outdated, unintuitive and hard to navigate. many of the controls just don't work. Kia needs to hire a new team to work on the app. quite disappointing since the infotainment system on the car is quite good in comparison.

map on app doesn't show car location. the find my car option shows the world but just a blank map. I emailed support and I have yet to receive a message back. I cleared the cache and it did nothing for the app. the app is cool af. Just this one issue I would love a resolution for Samsung s24 ultra. update** everything works perfectly now.. wish I didn't have to log in all the time but its still the best.

worked for a while, then I lost the ability to see my trips. After contacting Kia support they informed me that the problem was fixed. I can't see if it was because now I can't even log onto the app. one month later and still no results. calling the support number is like yelling at the moon.

The most smooth and pleasant experience buying a car that I've ever had. Heath Bertram, my salesman was fun. no pressure made the whole process easy and before I knew it I bought a new car and I love it now. mind you I went in with a 7-year-old car so when I got in and test drove the Kia Sportage it was like I was in heaven. I might as well been up in the clouds but there was no pressure and they met all my demands. it was like wow! really no questions. The whole staff was fantastic like family

It took 30 minutes on hold to speak with someone at Kia connect. Then I was told I was not at Kia connect, but had to be connected with Kia connect. That took another 10 minutes. I paid a $150 for this "service". My problem was that I had lost voice commands, which I had had since I bought the car 2 years ago. I now had to update the software to the premium version. It seems to me that kia is just trying to make more money from raising the price.

Please include my maintenance records from Kia. Without that, the app is of little value. Otherwise, it is easy enough to just keep using the website to pay my car payment every month and save storage space on my phone by not having another app.

6/2026 update again. The most recent update is very inconvenient.

For about the past few months, the screen keeps reverting to select vehicle. I only have one vehicle, and at this rate, it may be my last as I try to get into the app to lock or unlock or start the car and set the temp, and EVERY TIME I HAVE TO SELECT VEHICLE AGAIN. BEFORE I CAN GET TO THE REMOTE START SCREEN. I PAY FOR THIS MONTHLY FEATURE. IT SHOULD BE REALLY ACCESSABLE. Take the add vehicle off my screen. I don't have to another vehicle to choose from!!! Fix this now!

It has a spotty lapse of communication with my 2025 Sorento. It keeps sending me notifications that my car isn't locked when it is. I use the handle to lock the doors 99% of the time, so I can see & hear that it's been locked. No rhyme or reason to it. Doesn't happen every time I lock it, happens anywhere I may park-not just one particular place where service may be spotty-sometimes 10 mins to an hour after locking the doors. When I physically check the status I confirm it's locked each time.
