Finally, YOU'r right and I'm totally wrong !
A few minutes ago, I totally cleared my Kingsong's app memory and restarted the app. Then, despite my KS16 is 1057 km, it was impossible to set a max speed above 20 km/h (witch is the factory default). BUT if I close the phone app and start it again, then it's possible to set a 30 km/h max speed (without any unclock code) !!! So, the app is not unlocked (the "Speed limit decoding" menu item still asks for the unlock code) but the max speed can still be set to 30 km/h !!! So, you're right, it seems that the WHEEL is unlocked (and maybe the app need to be connected twice to "know" that the wheel is unlocked)... Weird behavior !
