So, I still receive telemetry information from my old lease car, a Kia e-Niro, to my app. A huge, HUGE privacy issue.

I made sure to remove my profile from the car before turning it in, and doing a factory reset of the car’s software.

I can see everything, AC, whether there are doors open, odometer, and above all, location.

Also tried to see if I can turn off the AC, but any commands throw an error, so disabling my account on the car at least did something 😅

I had it in the Netherlands, it’s in Poland, and it looks like it’s on its way to Ukraine.

Kia, you need to check your security.

Edit:

Holy shit it gets real bad. I can lock and unlock the car.

    I can lock and unlock the car that’s I don’t own. This is slightly worrisome, and me and my partner have just decided not to get a eNiro of our own 😅

      Just don’t get a Kia period. They’re notorious for being stolen because their security is shit.
