Navigation Update V14 due out April 20, 2020

So your files won't work on my car? I've already registered at the Kia Mapcare, and saw it may be August. What's this downloader that you speak of?
The files are for 2019 and 2020 Stingers. If yours is a 2018 they probably won't work. I don't know that anyone has tried it. The model numbers of the 2018 and 2019/2020 are different so I'd be surprised if the files for the wrong one would work.

The links to the downloader are in this post: Navigation Update V14 due out April 20, 2020
 
@JohnL where is the info on 2018 vs 2019/20 model numbers? Are you referring to the head units? Thanks

Here's a picture of the screen from my 2019. User wittmason posted pictures of the same screen on his 2018. As you can see the model numbers are different. Also notice that the software/firmware for the 2018 starts with CK where the 2019/20 is CK19.

Has anyone tried to purchase the SD card from Kia Mapnsft site? Since the updater isn't online yet, I tried to purchase v14 from the site. I entered the info for my car and there is no option to buy it (says "no update available"). I am currently running map v NAM.12.41.51..... which is version 13 I think. Can I jump over V14 and go directly to V14.5 via the downloaded files in this thread?

Should be able to jump to 14.5, you don't want 14 anyway, it has problems.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Can you explain what new features were added? Thanks.
If you go to the mapnsoft website and search for the Stinger there is a link to the 'New Features Guide'. All of those features are in the update that I uploaded. One change that user Wilzer noticed is that the address icon is missing from the Nav screen. If you click on the Places icon while parked you can enter an address in the box that is provided. For example, '123 Main St. Chicago IL' and it should find it. There are some cosmetic changes like the icons on the map screen are more rounded and have more color. The other odd thing I noticed is, when I was using the Nav one time, an icon with a 'P' popped up near the left side. I touched it and it became underlined with red. I touched it again and the red went away so it's a toggle. I have no idea what it was for and I only saw it one time. Some of the settings menus have been changed or moved around. I've read that some of the 14.0 versions had missing settings for the climate system. Those settings are ok in this update.

I have no idea what version I have. The page for the 14.0 update says the map version is 13.41.41.XXX and the guide I mentioned says it's 13.41.42.XXX. The version I downloaded from Kia is 13.47.44.XXX. We won't know until 14.5 is officially released but I can't help but wonder if that's what I have.

Installed several times, looking for the former address entry icon that never showed up, but every installation went smoothly. Need to keep car running and occupy your mind with something else while it is updating. Follow on screen prompts. Think corrupt or missing files is a common issue since one of the first things MapnSoft wants for troubleshooting is the total size of files on the SD card (had to put in computer and look)
Wilzer, I'm just curious. Can you tell me what the map version is of the software you received on the SD card you ordered?
 
Just in case anyone else is trying to get the downloader to work again. the latest version is now 1.0.28 and I am unable to change the region from Korea.

Force it to be US, but don't touch the Settings inside the app...
reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\HYUNDAI MOTOR GROUP\NavigationUpdater\Settings" /v Region /t REG_SZ /d US /f
 
I give up.

My $52,000 Stinger GT2 has no navigation. MapnSoft has been giving me the run around and KIA Consumer Affairs is useless. Case manager ghosted me, and as always the dealers are F'ing useless.

Anybody have any tips here? Pretty tired of trying to download, unzip, copy and paste the same files only to have the same issues.

Did they not give you an SD card when you got your car?
 
They did. I updated my Navi, something went wrong. Keep getting error codes, backup of the SD doesn’t work, nothing works.
At this point I think I’d just spend the $25 on the preloaded sd card and give that a go.

also- you’re not setting the write protect on the sd card, correct?

I can't buy a new SD since they are "preparing to release the new update", with no ETA.

Write Protect is off

If your Stinger is a 2019 or 2020 you can use the files I uploaded to 2019-20 Stinger Nav Upgrade - Icedrive
Hmm tried with cmd line. tried with admin cmd line. Restarted. Tried app as admin. Still sets to South Korea with no other options. :( They must have stripped it clean.

I'll try the extracted files I guess.
 
Is the official notice on the mapnsoft site about 14.5 coming mid-August new or have I just not been paying attention?

August 10th I was told. I can't buy a replacement SD card at this time due to it. I've been without Navigation for 2.5 weeks and been trying almost daily to unf*#k it.

Everybody at KIA, and MAPnSoft has been useless and nobody takes ownership of it. Tried just about every set of files I can get my hands on. No go.

I pray the August 10th date I was just told is accurate.
