Navigation Update V 15 released today

I have a 2019 Ultimate and have never updated the Nav/Menu. I like the layout and am not having any issues with it. If it 'aint broke, why "fix" it?

 

I didn't say you were(?) My complaint with the charging screen is that it's showing KM instead of miles, with no way to change it. (And my complaint with the panels in general is there is no longer aa 3-panel option...)

 

I'm running Canadian version on iOS and in Settings there is a "Distance Unit" setting on mine. Changed to miles as a test and it shows miles in the App. Units at myhyundai.ca also changed to miles. Hopefully I can change it back to km now

I'm assuming you meant your Bluelink App is in km and Infotainment is ok?

 

No, infotainment is showing km (see my screenshots earlier in this thread). My bluelink app shows miles, and the display on the main dash also shows miles. It's just the infotainment system that's wrong, with no way I can find to change it.

 

This is a long shot... There is a setting re secondary speed indicator. I.e. If you use Miles, it shows KM and if primary is KM it shows speed in miles. Perhaps toggling that setting might have the right side-effect. Not sure where I found that originally but pretty sure it's in the settings done via steering wheel buttons.
I don't know if the secondary speed shows in all modes but it does in ECO.

 

I found that setting, and it did add a secondary indicator (in KM) below the normal indicator (in Miles), but it had no affect on the infotainment/EV screen.

 

Yeah, the radio update is really horrible. Not only are the stations all just numbers, you can't set any other order than numeric and FM stations always come before SXM. Previously you could create a custom order of stations and I woiuld go back and forth between my top four but then had some extras to go to at times.

 

The wide screen Ultimates got this horrible non-feature in the last (14.5?) update (downdate?). In 14 we still had the station names and buttons at the left of the screen, but lost the ability to rearrange the presets from the earlier version.

Can the "What's On" screen be left up and touched to play a station? If so, this might be a step forward for me - larger buttons and the station names. But the presets still can't be rearranged, right?

 

BTW, someone on another forum pointed me to the fix for the KM/Miles issue: it's not in the settings for the EV panel, it's in Setup-->Navigation-->Display-->Information

 

This update accepts the voice command "Tune to [name of Sirius XM station]." Is this new in this release? I tried it several releases back when they shrunk the preset buttons and took the channel names off, and couldn't get it to work.

 

You can update the screen? I have a 2019 Preferred. Could you point me to how?

 

No worries all I've found it thanks to previous posts. This is fun. It says my car uses an SD card... now to find it...

By the way, for those of you reporting very slow times for downloading and copying the software, USB cards can be *very* slow when writing. They're great at reading information but writing is highly dependant on the classification of the card you are using and the connection to your computer (USB1, USB2, USB3 etc). Same if you are using a USB flash stick, they are *not* created equal. Cheap ones might only be at USB1 speeds which could take literally hours to write 23GB of information. Get a high quality/speed stick and card and you'll be much happier.

I didn't have a new 32GB Card handy so I just had it save the file to a 500GB external hard drive that I had lying around (it wants to format it, so don't use anything you have stuff on) and it has only taken about 5 minutes to copy the files over once the 15min download was done. This was using the macOS version of the software.

 

Tim, I'm in Walnut Creek (2020 Kona) and was forced to download the map update because I lost the ability to speak an address into the navigation system. Now I only can display two selections on my infotainment screen and the icons look different. Customer service is useless.

 

yes,the last update removed: which side of the road your address is on;route options are now 4 steps;navigating errors - recently sent me about 30 minutes away to the wrong city using the EXACT address inputted,4minutes from being late for a meeting.

I don't like using AA,or Waze anymore because of the intrusions demanded by Google for the app.to work. I used to love using Waze,especially radar heads up.


April update, did Hyundai send it via OTA ? A rep.said it's now a thing.

 

I also don't like the changes to the climate screen. Instead of clear icons and symbols to show the air flow options, you now get graphical representations of flow. They are hard to distinguish at a glance when adjusting while the vehicle is moving. As such, you need to memorize the order so that you don't distract yourself from driving as you cycle through with the button.

 

Can Kona do OTA updates??? You must be kidding.

 

All Gen5Wide infotainment units with built in Bluelink module technically support OTA. Most of them all-ready have 128 GB of eMMC storage. What is missing is Hyundai software implementation.

Nvidia stuff is probably something completely new coming out next year in Hyundai Kia Group and I suspect it will bring much more than just OTA updateabilty from start, like much greater CPU and GPU performance and therefore possibility for more new features bringing them few steps closer to Tesla.

For whole OTA updates working also for other parts of the car - that will probably entail completely new architecture how things are done and will probably take years.

 

I would be leery of OTA updates from Hyundai. They might not give us the option of refusing their latest downgrade.

When I swapped my boughtback 2020 Ultimate for a 2021, I was delighted to find the old version of the infotainment software, with the full radio buttons instead of the Nixie froufrou.

Unfortunately the navigation is brain-damaged, creatively suggesting horrible routings. So far I've resisted updating, but it's a tough decision.
