    Anyone have the guts to install this October update yet? I downloaded and ready to update but sort of waiting to see if any fallout based on previous releases.

    Not a Kona EV, but one report from Ionic 6 forum member shows it works with no issues;)

    No issues with install and operability for me. This update includes a new feature I didn't even know I needed:

    The system automatically closes windows when your vehicle enters a tunnel to prevent external air from entering.
    To enable this feature, go to Settings > Vehicle > Climate > Block External Air, and select or enable [Tunnels].
    To avoid injuries and vehicle damage, ensure people, objects, etc., are safely out of the way before closing the windows.

    Does this auto window closing work on 2020-2021 model years? (Before the facelift)

    Also if anyone has photos of the new menus I’d like to take a peak before installing.

    I did encounter 1 thing that is no longer working -- when I power OFF the car, the Radio no longer stays ON. Before this update, I could power OFF and the Radio would remain ON for like 10 mins. Which I really liked when I arrive some place and want to sit for a bit before exiting that car. I've looked at a bunch of Settings and don't see this setting that obviously changed. Anyone ?

    Interesting...I wonder if this is a setting somewhere? I've searched the Manual and played with the various settings - I don't see this setting. But it definitely changed on my Kona. The RADIO turns OFF immediately now when I turn off the car.

    Noticed today that the update unchecked the Daylight Savings Time option in Time/Date.

    I found the issue. It's an option that got turned off in the install. GENERAL / MEDIA .. the option is buried in there for what happens when car is turned off.

    Sigh. I had forgotten that Kona requires manual map updates. I kind of got used to OTA map updates that I get with the ID.4.

    I wonder what version the car currently has - I need to fiddle with the car later today to work on some other things.

    OK - did the update. Route planning with charge stops sounds cool. Remains to be seen how well it works in practice..

    But I get this message that it is downloading something. And in the very upper right, there are the arrows in a circle with a blinking downarrow... 20231029_151804.jpeg
