Kia Stinger Navigation Map Update

[D.J.]

Just ordered a new stinger says 10 years free upgrades is this correct

I though it was 10 free updates.... (2 per year, so 5 years). You have screen shot?

Does anyone know if they fixed the wide screen issue with the latest update? I was reading on an Android Auto website that with the latest nav update the larger screens will now allow full screen android auto instead of a smaller box.

It seems the date for the new revision to the latest update keeps moving . . .

Should this post be pinned and the auto updater guide included on the first post?

I didn't even like the look of the tubes a whole hell of a lot, but the new radio format looks like low effort garbage. They could have literally just removed the virtual tubes from the display and kept a decent looking font for the big current channel digits and it would have looked way better.

Just posting an easy to compare before and after

April 2022 update on bottomView attachment 70518

Thanks for posting the difference. I also prefer the previous interface for radio rather than the April update.

Full screen Android Auto does work but you have to enable developer settings inside the Android Auto app and enable then check the 1280x720 resolution option setting.

^^Whoa! This is the standard AA without any dongles or anything?

What phone? Also what system software? I have the latest AA on my 7T and s9+, 1280x720 enabled in dev mode on both but still get the 2/3 screen. My system software is from April 2021.

For Canada, yes.

I am in Canada and have a 2018 GT Limited (GT 2 equivalent). Notice in the link you provided that the Stinger in NOT listed at all and I confirmed by downloading the update app and going through it all until the download step, it comes back saying there is no update available for my vehicle!

Has any Canadian owner succeeded in updating their NAV?

I am still running the original that came with the car and my dealer told me that this April update will fix my problem where the sound system changes to all sound to the back speakers only after making phone calls. (Have had this issue since I got the car in Dec 2017 so am really looking forward to a fix at last!)

In a previous post someone said the update was pulled and might be available again in a week or two.

Yep just the standard. I have a pixel 6. Here are a few screen shots.

No, system software version of the car's firmware?

This is the only time I've read of someone claiming that a media update will cure the fade-to-the-rear sound issue.

I read on here, a couple of days after I installed the April update, that it had been pulled for now; sometime this month it's supposed to be back.

Here you go

I have the same car as you - also Canadian

I updated right away on day one (I think April 28th) - before the update was pulled.

I have never experienced the audio fade issue you have.. and I have gone through all the updates as they became available.

I do hope this update fixes your issue, but I have never read anyone else fixing the audio fade issue with a software update.

 

[JSolo]

@S7N, wow... so they did fix the widescreen issue with AA.

Others have similar experience?

I updated yesterday and my weather works fine. I hate the new radio interface; I want my tubes back.

I miss the nixies too. Wish they made it optional to choose radio skin.

The new radio preset with album art is good but I have a bias, love nixies and have them around the house.

 

[Mjvfran]

If they say it they should
I thought it would automatically update is this correct?

 

[usagi]

I will not be updating if they got rid of the tubes. One of my favorite features of the infotainment. They are referring to the image of the vacuum tubes in amplifiers. Anyone have an image of what is there now?

i agree, i love the nixies. i have nixie clocks at home and work. if the nixies are gone then i'm not going to upgrade.
