UPGRADE & DECAL INSTALLATION (CS2305)
 NOTICE
This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised sections of this
bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area.
This bulletin provides the procedure to upgrade the software logic of the Integrated Body Control Unit (IBU)
or Body Control Module (BCM) system on certain 2014-2018MY Forte (YD), 2017-2018MY Forte (YDm), and
2019-2021MY Forte (BDm) vehicles produced within the dates outlined in page 13, which may not be equipped
with an immobilizer. This logic upgrade will add anti-theft ignition start logic to the vehicle's system operation
which activates when the vehicle is locked. Follow the procedure outlined in this publication to apply the
improved logic to the ‘IBU-BCM’ system using the KDS ECU Upgrade function as described in this bulletin. For
confirmation that the latest reflash has been applied to a vehicle you are working on, verify the ROM ID using
the table on pages 3 and 4 of this bulletin.
Window decals should also be applied to both front windows in accordance with the instructions on page 8 to
indicate this anti-theft S/W logic upgrade has been completed (unless a customer specifically requests, they
not be installed). An initial supply of window decals will be shipping directly to dealers. Should there be a
delay in receipt of this supply, please track any customers that may need window decals installation upon
receipt of the stickers.

Other things to consider:
Vehicles equipped with ‘aftermarket’ window tint:
Be sure to get the customer’s approval to install the ‘Kia Anti-Theft Logic’ decals if the vehicle has aftermarket window
tint installed as they will adhere to the tint film surface and not the door glass surface, and alert customer that the ‘Kia
Anti-Theft Logic’ decals may not be visible through the tint film from outside the vehicle.
For ‘California’ state vehicles only:
The Proposition 65 decal may still be present on the inner front door glass. Be sure to get the customer’s approval to
remove this decal from the inner door glass before installing the ‘Kia Anti-Theft Logic’ decals.
