Anyone do a Map'n'Soft update for 2020 Ultimate yet? (Canadian)

Under the little flap under the screen

 

They must have moved it. It is theoretically possible that it now takes a USB stick. I can suggest a couple of things. One, when you download the thing, there ought to be a couple of instruction PDF files that you can download. That might tell you something.

The manual that came with the car will probably tell you as well.

When I updated mine, I used a new SD card. I just replaced the one that the car came with. In my case, there was a software update of some sort that it also performed, and then it was done and I could go about my way.

 

Yep, no SD CARD anymore on the 2020 model. Not sure how we would do this other than via USB stick when the time comes. I'll have to cross this bridge when BLUELINK expires in 2.8 years.

 

There have been two updates on the 2019 model, neither of them of importance except for the addition of Mexico. For my region at least, the maps and POI's are seriously out of date and no charging stations are shown except a few very old L2s. Hyundai has really dropped the ball here in not delivering a big selling point of the car.

Anyway, you have the latest version and hopefully we can look for improvements, since the low quality must be a source of complaint from many Hyundai/Kia buyers.

 

On the topic of map updates: I have never done an update. That whole process just sounds awful. But, when I got the car, my maps were 2D side scrolling "flat" maps. Now they are tilted, forced perspective maps. How did this happen with no manual updates and no facility for OTA updates?!

 

I think it's a setting in the nav system somewhere

 

I believe that the map update also includes some software update for the navi.

 

The software updates happen twice a year around March/April and September/October.
With the map updates, the software for the Mediascreen can be updated. It is NOT possible to update the cars driving system software with the SD-Card update!
The cars software can only be updated by a dealer connecting directly into the cars system.

 

I find that crazy, imho ... I mean, yea, no longer an SD Card to perform the MAP updates ... however there IS a USB input... I wish we could download & update using a USB Stick or something. I don't want to have to take the vehicle into the $Stealership ever 6 months just to get Map updates !!!

 

With my Volvo, it was done with a USB stick. It was kind of slow - that car only had USB-2, but it eventually did the job.

If you log into the mapnsoft site, it ought to give you instructions for how to update the maps. If I recall correctly, I even had the option for my 2019 of purchasing a new SD card that was pre-loaded. Are there any instructions there for the 2020 cars? Or are the VIN numbers not yet registered with that site?

 

I believe it was on a Korean site that I saw a reference to OTA map updates for the 2020 model in that market. Maybe this is the global plan, the SD card no longer being supported.

 

I believe that the MAP Updates due end of this month. Will be interesting to see/experience the "process" for MY2020 Ultimate. I also really hope we're not required to go to the dealer.

 

I have the same version number as you, 12.47.44.510.205.3. My MapnSoft account says "Your car is up to date. No update available."

This version list shows the Kona EV as NAM.12.47.44.510.105.4 and v13.5. Looks pretty close to ours.
