Changing Cluster Theme

How can I switch up my cluster theme, I've got a 2023 N line and I'm in the digital dash, but I just realized there might be different themes available depending on drive mode or hidden settings. Right now, mine just switches colors with the drive mode, normal is blue, sport goes red, but I've seen screenshots of more stylized layouts with different gauge designs, are those just on the limited or EV trims, or is there a way to unlock them on the n line too?, I've gone through the settings but didn't find much beyond brightness and cluster illumination, so is it possible to force a theme change independent of drive mode or what
If its too much stress though, I think I'm gonna pass
 
Great question! On the N Line, the theme clusters are linked to the drive modes automatically. The more advanced gauge layouts you've noticed typically come with the Limited or EV trims. Some users have managed to unlock additional themes after a software update or by accessing the Kia Connect Store, if it's available where you are. I actually got a new theme myself after an over-the-air update. Are you using the latest software version, and do you have Kia Connect set up? It's definitely worth looking into
 
My friend's Kona N Line had a similar issue, he was also after those sleek gauge designs. It turned out he ended up with a new theme after an update that he didn't even realize he downloaded. It might be a good idea to check your version just to be safe!
 
Yh the more stylized layouts are usually reserved for the Limited or EV trims. There isn't a built-in way to unlock them on the N Line, and trying to hack it could cause issues with the digital dash. Best bet is to stick with the normal/sport color changes unless you upgrade trims.
