For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

As someone who drives a higher-end Kia SUV, and sells them, this is untrue. Off the top of my head without looking, I'm fairly positive the ONLY model to not get wireless is the Rio. Even then I think it may still get it.

    So much wrong in your post. My ‘22 Stinger GT2 doesn’t have wireless AA or CarPlay. It absolutely does have to do with the built in GPS as the newer, less expensive vehicles/trims WITHOUT built in GPS allow wireless AA and CarPlay. Redline Reviews has mentioned this in his YouTube videos of KIA/Hyundai products, too. It is some kind of dispute between the maker of the maps for the factory GPS, KIA/Hyundai and Google/Apple. I have read numerous times that the hardware is present but it is blocked software side.

    Aside from that, if you truly are selling these vehicles you need to brush up on the tech side.
