I have a Kona 2020. The BlueLink uses 3G networks that are being phased out. The manual says that Kona has no plans to provide bluelink to the cars using 3G networks. Is there any update on this?

I checked my VIN (2020 Kona Ultimate) and it is not on the list for phaseout. Also checked the frequencies in my manuals to confirm they are not limited to 3G frequencies..

We shall see in a few days.

I am very concerned about the limitation to 2 fobs of my 2020 Kona Ultimate. Having just two keys produces complex logistics, and the key loss is an accident waiting to happen. I would like to explore removing the push button and installing a more old-fashioned keyed ignition. One of the kearlier kona ignition systems could be used. Is this doable? What will happen to various other systems if a mechanic does that?
