I have two issues. Both are related, both are highly irritating and I have yet to find a resolution for either.
I have a late model 2016 SXL
1. If the phone and Kia are not paired and my phones bluetooth is on, the Kia is CONSTANTLY trying to pair to it. I prefer to use a bluetooth headset for my calls and even while that is paired, the Kia is always still trying to pair to my phone. I deny the pair request, and less than 5 minutes later another request dings on my phone, thus in my ear. I don't approve the pair request - and yet Kia relentlessly tries to pair. In my phones bluetooth settings I have ensured the Kia is not an approved device and in the Kia I have verified my phone is not listed in the bluetooth devices section.
How can I stop the constant annoying pair requests?
2. If I decide to pair my phone to the Kia and I have my headset on, the Kia will auto-connect, overriding my headset. I can't tell you how many times I am in the middle of a call on my headset, turn on the car and suddenly my call is routed through the Kia bluetooth. Even worse, I work from home, have my headset on while upstairs in my office, my wife downstairs tin the garage urns on the car and the car auto-takes over my call. For the 3 minutes she is in the car, she hears my call piping through the cars speakers all the while I have lost access to my call.
How can I prevent the Kia from auto connecting - or even better, prevent it from auto-prioritizing itself and taking control of my calls?
And as far as I can tell, this is a Kia specific issue. This doesn't happen in my other cars, or friends cars when their bluetooth is on....these other cars don't try to non-stop auto-pair or auto-connect taking over my calls.
