Navigation Update V14 due out April 20, 2020

[Callum]

I have never updated my NAV, it's still whatever came with the car (2018 GT2).

Worth the update? Just curious. I've never been one to update the OEM stuff, just used my phone.

I never use the built-in NAV but overall system updates as well as updates to CarPlay and Android Auto can be beneficial.

Got my Nav 14 update today. Installed, no problems. Really don't like the new display look as much as the old one, but I reckon I'll get used to it. However, it's going to take a long time to figure out how to do stuff that I spent the last year learning, as lots of menu things are different. Anyone know where there is a link to a current manual? If there is a current manual that matches V 14?

How did you update? Did you order a new SD?

Assuming you paid the $25 USD to get it, how long did it take after you ordered it?

Ordered on 5th, rec on 11th.
No Manual available from KIA. 18 page "New Features" brochure attached.

FWIT - The brochure didn't come with it. A phone call to KIA customer service got them to e-mail me a copy.

When you order there is a link to download the new features brochure.

Can't believe I'm asking this (I swear I'm an IT professional ), but I want to be sure... is there any reason I can't or shouldn't use the SD card that is already in my car? It's 32gb class 10

 

[MrSmoofy]

For one the label wouldn't represent what it is. Next is you won't have a backup of what is there unless you make an image copy of it so you can go back in the case of issues. Memory cards are SUPER cheap especially the size we need.

 

[Sabs]

The card that comes with the car should work, but if something goes wrong, you’d be without your maps. Since 32GB cards are pretty cheap, personally I’d pick up a new one.

 

[Gtecko]

consensus is to wait July for the free downloadable 14.5V ?

As I'm sure you are aware, it's extremely unlikely that any issue is going to occur with a rewrite - and you still have the file, so can always write a new card again if necessary.

The one thing you might want to guard against by keeping the older version is the possibility that they bungled the update, or removed a feature you consider vital.

I've just been rewriting mine, and will continue to do so.

even if you pop the old card back in, you will not be able to downgrade the OS on the unit, and thus will not be able to access removed features. you would just be running on an older map, if it even allows that.

Personally never tried a downgrade, but that may be true - up to how they coded it whether that is allowed.

 

[RedCal]

The cards are labeled "map only" so I would agree that once the software is upgraded there is no going back

 

[Legendsk]

From watching the update process, IMHO the software is updated in about 10 minutes of "preparing to update", then the map data is updated in the next 15 minutes. In 3 separate processes, sorry I don't remember what they were called, but it implied they were different kinds of map data. . . . . So I agree that while it is likely possible to load old map data, once you have updated the software, it won't be possible to undo that.

did you lose the phone signal and battery status icons on the top right?

My 2020 GT1 right out of the gate did not show the signal and battery status icons like my 2016 Optima did or my wife’s current 2020 Santa Fe Limited which I don’t like at all.
I see those icons only when on a call.

just out of curiosity, if you know how to do it, can you try deleting the phone pairing from both the car and the phone and re-pairing it to see if they pop back up? and, what software version is the santa fe running?
