How to Download and Apply Display Themes  

Adding a new Display Theme to your Kia is simple and takes just a few steps. Start at the setup menu, then select Screen Layout > Display Theme. From there, you can browse available themes and preview options before choosing. If the theme hasn’t been purchased yet, you can scan a QR code or visit the Kia Connect Store to complete the purchase. Once you’ve selected your theme, continue through the prompts, and the download will begin. After the download finishes, reboot the AVNT system to apply the new design to your dashboard. You can also decide to wait and switch it later using the same menu. Once the reboot is complete, your dashboard will reflect your selected theme.  

How to Change and Remove Display Themes  

Switching to a different Display Theme is just as straightforward. After purchasing a new theme in the Kia Connect Store, return to the Screen Layout > Display Theme settings. Select the new option, let the download finish, and reboot the AVNT system. Once it restarts, your dashboard will instantly display the updated look. If you want to remove a theme, head back into the display settings and press the delete icon in the edit menu. Choose the theme you’d like to remove, confirm the deletion, and it will be erased from the system. If the deleted theme is assigned to any driver profile, the dashboard automatically returns to the standard Kia theme. This flexibility lets you update, refresh, or reset your vehicle’s style.
