Love the update. I was having issues using the assistant and making phone calls and texts. Kept telling me "no network response" so I pressed my Bluelink button on the mirror and got in touch with customer service. They suggested I do a map update for my 2022 Hyundai Kona Limited. I purchased my update from Hyundai $25 plus shipping) so I skipped the download part and went straight to the in car installation.Finally, the navigation now works well, voice commands work, radio looks better, maps look better and I now have dark mode for daytime driving looks slick, can adust temperature and fan speed using voice commands, various apperance choices, new assistant interface and many other changes throughout the setup sub menus. Took about 2 hours however a note came up early on saying that I could turn the car off and the update would continue. Went and had lunch came back to the car and it was done. Well worth the time and expense. For the first time I'm enjoying using my maps and voice commands. Really love the dark mode for navigation now the cluster and infotainment have similar apperance.
I just updated my Kia forte GT line 2022 info system. Love it. I also noticed the climate screen updated and now you can reflect your current speed on maps as well as the speed limits like before.

These 'how to' videos are super helpful 👌
Dealer couldnt see me until Nov! Your video waa great! Hipe it works. Just started it!
Great how to vids for customers. Thank you for sharing
I like any video you do! Always informative and useful!
Another great video, this is now my favorite Kia channel, liked, and subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! We appreciate that! :)
Very useful, I’ve just updated our new Kia Niro on the back of this video clip.
Gabi always be looking fire
Well spoken and knowledgeable staff member - nice one!
Thank you kindly!
Great vid! Thanks for the info
Our pleasure!
Very helpful. Much appreciated.❤
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you from Australia. You guys are always so informative. We don't have any info like this over here. In fact, to decide on purchasing my 2022 Hyundai i30 sedan Elite, CN7, or Elantra, top-of-the-line, non-turbo, I watched you guys, I watched your channel. Thank you.
In Australia, we like performance cars and most reviews are by journo's who only want to give proper run-downs on N, or N-Line i30 sedans.
Our pleasure!
I would argue with you about "most people in Australia" liking performance cars. The average person is far more interested in value for money, reliability, comfort, cargo space and fuel economy than burning rubber at the lights. I recently purchase a Kia Seltos and was disappointed at the number of on-line reviews of the GT version as opposed to the plain vanilla S, which I ended up buying and which is by far the better value. In a country of low speed limits and random speed checks everywhere, I'm not at all sure what the point of performance cars is.
@@pp312 The younger generation would prefer garbage cars, or should I say SUVs to performance cars.
However when a car comes out with a performance option in the range. Most car reviewers or journo's review the performance car.
Magazines like Wheels are all about performance cars that are out of the average person's reach, and that is true.
@@davidb1630 So what is your point? You appear to be agreeing with me, at least about car reviewers. Also, in what way are SUV's "garbage" cars? Cannot an SUV be a performance car? Your thinking seems to be all over the shop.
Excellent !!! Very good to know ! My dealership told me nothing about this .
So glad we were able to help
This type of video is great.
thank you!
Good video. I was not aware I could update the maps this way. Took about 45 minutes to update my 2022 Sonata N-Line.
I'm just here for Gabi tbh, great job explain it tho haha
I am not a tech wizard, so thanks for the help.
Awesome!
Banging, seriously banging.
I did received an email for an update a few months ago for my Kona 2022, but not much was said about how to do it and that it can take 30 minutes. Nice video
thank you!
A great video thanks and stay safe.
Thanks 👍
Thanks Gabi….that was very helpful. 👍
You’re the best ! 😁
Happy to help!
Well done , all these tips are very useful as we will be receiving a new Sportage HEV GT Line S in January sometime ( ordered in March 2022 !) Look forward to more guides from you.
Congrats! Reach out when you get it, and let us know what you think!
@@BrantfordKia I just got a Brand New 2023 Seltos EX Premium… 3 weeks ago. Anytime I have tried to use the Navigation it sends all my screens into a seizure! My Display screen, and my Dash all start flashing on and off. The Speedometer, Odometer, Fuel Gage etc etc do not work at all! The Vehicle drives fine while this is happening. It continues to do this until I turn off the Factory Navigation system. Would doing an Upgrade fix this problem? I called the Service Department at my Local Dealer and they could not tell me over the phone what’s causing this problem. They recommended I bring the Vehicle in during the Limited Hours the Service Department is open.. Monday to Friday, 9-5! Unfortunately I am working during this time.. So it looks like I will have to do this upgrade myself. But before I do it I’d like to know if this will fix the problem?
@@Shawn-px3yz I assume it will fix the problem. The flickering may be due to bugs in the system. But I don't see SW for 2023 model
Excellent video & super useful. Thank you!!! I just updated our Sportage Hybrid. 🤙🏽
Glad you liked it!!
Nice that Kia is actually doing updates how. I remember the look on the Service Managers face when I asked about updating the software on my wife's 2017 Kia Optima SXL when he said Kia doesn't do updates. Only wish the updates were over the air like Tesla and now Ford among other companies.
Starting with some of the 23 models, OTA updates are available. We will do a video on how to do this.
Thanks for the informative videos. Have you had a car not recognize an update? I'm experiencing that problem w/ a 2020 Niro PHEV.
I learned so much and i’m updating my vehicle as we speak!
Awesome!
Damn Gabi!! 😍
Super helpful for me today! I wonder if this is the same update that my KIA dealership wants me to send my car to them for. We'll see. :)
Great video as usual. I have a 2024 Tucson ultimate hybrid and had to go to dealer for the update. Reason…. The update needed over 70 gig of hard drive space on my Mac. My entire hard drive is only 250 gig so with apps, files etc, and after removing as much as I could there was not enough room.
I need to do this on my 2022 forte GT! You made it sound so simple haha
Glad you approve!
This was perfect timing - great video made it so easy thanks so much - ps you di such a great job so natural - you’ve helped this Mom such a wonderful job and Happy New Year from NY
I updated my 22 Sorento SX Prestige this morning was easy as
I love it!
Hello Gabi, I'm so glad that I across your video's, they're not only well made but very educational too. I wanted to ask you if there are available software updates for the older model Kia's. I have a 2015 Kia Soul Plus and I didn't notice any updates for it on the website you shared. any help with this would be much appreciated.
PS: keep up the great work on these videos
Gotta buy it. Google it.
Love you ❤Gabi
Thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Great video,I enjoyed the information very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
2:40 Which USB Port to Update is Key. Thank you for Noting that the Port to Update is the one Listed as "USB". UI Could Not Find that Information anywhere else so Thank you for that Tip!
I was wondering how to do this thank you lol I’ll have to try this out. Sooooo one thing tho my reverse camera isn’t working at all, would that maybe because I have an update I haven’t done yet?
very good quality video so professional
Thank you very much!
What about non-navigation updates. ie. lane following, lane keeping etc?
Hey Gabi, great job on the videos. Question, I just bought the K5 GT 2023 model. Looks like the last update was in October. Can I safely assume a car bought in March was delivered with the October update? Regardless, when I searched for my model, it only listed the K5, no mention of the GT model specifically. Does that mean the software updates apply to the K5 in all trims? Thanks much!
Thank you for the video. I recently bought 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe limited. Right now I see the current version in the car is 202, seems it was never updated. So the audio system and the navigation both are updated with the same navigation updater? Or do we need to do them separately? If separately I don't see separate files for Audio updates? Please help me 🙏
I have a 21 kia forte gt and having a hard time trying to update. Do you have a video on updating the forte?
When will we have the battery preconditioning for the EV6 in Canada? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Hi would you know the exact measurement ( length) of the Kia Sportage wireless charging pad?
This only updates the whole infotaiment or maps?
And for the powertrain update, I have to visit the dealer ?
Holy moly gabby
Can we plug in an external HD (with the updates) into the EV? Or must we use a thumb USB?
I just got a Tucson Luxury HEV so I don't have the nav system. For other updates to the media system or the Hybrid system, if necessary, does Hyundai Canada notify owners of the availabilty of updates?
Are these updates only for navigation? Or does it update the rest of the system ?
Can you guys please test drive cars in snow? This type of winter review is really limited. Now is the perfect time to do it. Thank you.
If you are on the east coast, then you know the weather has been crap the last two days. I put my Telluride in "snow mode" with my winter tires....and drove past all these people that were just stuck! (Actually I stopped and gave them a push, but you get what I mean). Yeah, let's do some snow driving videos! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@BrantfordKia thanks for the reply. I’m interested in how carnival is doing in snow with winter tires since it is FWD only.
Really hoping you get the 2023 Kia Soul EV soon to show it off. Got a deposit on one and can’t wait for it to finally get manufactured and delivered.
Us too! Would be happy to demonstrate it!
Gracias Gabi, useful tips. Will kia do updates for vehicles that currently don’t have wireless apple carplay for them to be wireless connected? Merry christmas and happy new year 🎉
So this is just one guy's opinion (Pat's), but I don't think so. Kia does not seem to be happy with the functionality of the wireless carplay, and I think they decided not to roll it out further. When I had a 21 Sorento, and I was doing a roadtrip, it would drop the connection every 20 minutes.
@@BrantfordKia I used an adapter purchased from Amazon for $120CAD. It's been working without dropping connection once during my two-hour long trip from Niagara Falls to and from Newmarket. It also survived a trip to downtown Toronto which was more than an hour long due to traffic. I think Hyundai and Kia are just dragging their feet on this.
@@rogerthat24 how does the adapter work?
Is there any update available for x-line limited kia sportage? Thank you
I updated my 2019 Niro once, which got me the first generation of sounds of nature. I only liked the lively forest, but I prefer to listen to my Spotify music instead. LOL
Unfortunately, no - it's an all or nothing deal. If you update the radio, and you don't yet have the "purple" screen, I think it will update. Here's a video that shows the first one we did, and the ups/downs of the new screen.

IHello Gabi have a question; does an electric car have own internet? I mean it´s all the time conected to internet or just the GPS is all the time active?
Hey Gabi...Quick question...Can I update the navigation/infotainment system & change the software region at the same time as am moving the car from one region to another or does that crash the system?
Long story short; am moving the car from South Korea to Africa so would changing the region by updating the software make any issues to system?
@BrantfordKia
Are these updates available OTA?
Does this also update the firmware of the car? Is the update also available OTA (Over The Air)?
Ok now will updating my software get my FM radio to work.?
Interesting thing. My Kia has 2021 Fireware and on a web page, it is written that the available update is for November 2022. And i would agree to update it to November version, since in 2021 there are Ye Old names of streets and my home cannot be found. I assume in 2022 version there should be a new UI, but my KIA does not want to update. Says that there is no available update. That is weird.
What you mentioned about searching by model number and software doesn’t work on the windows program. It’s just a image, and doesn’t accept any input.
Helo Gabi, Thanks for the video. I am from India and I own KIA Sonet GTx+ bought in 2020. My software update is paused at 27 % since last year and not even moving an inch ahead of 27%. When contacted the service center, they say that the update should happen auomatically through cloud which is not happening at all and to be precise they are also cluless about this. I have contacted customer service via call and even they are clueless abouut this. Please help me in this regard and will the update through USB you mentioned in the above video will resolve my issue. Kindly advise. Thanks.
Hey Gabi, why it doesn't show the PICANTO model in the list?
Are you guys working in this weather? That’s dedication! Happy holidays!
We closed at noon!
- will it continue updating if you plug in the wall charger?
- doing this myself will not void any KIA warranty?
- the update for fixing the Meridian sound system and other fixes, are those included in these updates or are they seperate files?
i dont own any Kia or Hyundai car, but i can watch this video again
I have a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. How do I receive notifications of these updates?
Thank you.
Hey gabi just a question my car kia sorento 2021 ME when i insert the flash drive it says files not supported and my other car kia sorento 2019 American it doesn't have a sd card slot i have tried doing it with the usb it doesnt work what to do?
how large of a thumb drive would you need to do the updates
How long does take when u put the USB in the port
How does this update work with hybrids?
I have kia sportage 2024 and didnt find my new update in the pc app . Only 2021 and below
Can we see the “after” upgrade features? I have a 2019 PHEV Niro and have heard the radio icons look significantly different after one of the upgrades. Can you selectively choose what to update? I.e. can we update maps but not the entertainment system?
Once you update the system, you can't roll it back. Here's a video we did when the update first came out and it shows what it looks like and what changes.
ua-cam.com/video/O2FCflq-OyQ/v-deo.html
I got an email once the update was done. It said congratulations on my new Kia purchase. Is that normal??
I have a 2023 Santa Fe calligraphy. It has “over the air” updates. Can you show us step by step how that works? Thanks Gabby!!!
ok - that would be a great video! Thank you for the suggestion. There's isn't an update yet, but when there is, we will do it!
We have a 2014 kia sportage and when my dad was alive he got the maps updated himself and added red light cam locations. Not sure what software he used. Can someone help? Kias new updater only goes down to 2017.
Very informative. Can the dealer do this update?
Yes, most dealers will do this for you. I know we tell owners that they would need to leave us their vehicle for most of the day though, as every model updates at different speeds. It can take a few hours sometimes.
I have a kia forte gt line trying to update it but it's being a real hassle I can't get that the little red star to go away so I can send text messages by voice command
Thanks for the info. Can I update my Niro same way as I live in Jordan at the middle east?
It depends, with older models you will need to update the map onto a SD drive and the drive will need to remain in the vehicle.
update.kia.com/US/EN/navigationUpdate
It is designed for Canadian vehicles...up to you if you want to try. Floyd is correct, that you would download it onto a SD card.
During the Installation update, I had to step out so I turned off my Vehicle. what will happen if the Installation is stopped midway?
Despite offering similar information to other UA-camrs, this channel is inexplicably much more enjoyable to watch.
Glad you enjoy it!
Does Kia and Hyundai’s anti theft software work the same way? My Kia was stolen in July this year and I legit got the update a month and a half ago. I did test it myself, I’m just scared my car would still be stolen and I go back to Cleveland in January….. I wish Kia had free immobilizers.. I’m trying to keep my car more secure. I’m so scared to where I wanna also get a Club and a wheel lock 😭
What if I don’t have a PC can I do it on my phone
Thanks for sharing. This should be seamless, like in Teslas - the car should tell me that an update is ready > Please install.
I shouldn't hv to check it myself in a laptop & then take a USB drive to my car - feels way too old school for 2023.
Still better than some other manufacturers I guess - where you'd hv to take the car to a dealership for an update, smh.
Insightful comments - other manufacturers are still charging for Navi updates, whereas they are no charge for Kia/Hyundai owners, going back to the 2016 model year. In some of the 2023 models, we have OTA (over the air) updates, but we haven't been able to show it, as there's no updates yet. I will admit, tesla does do it right.
Hi Gabi, very informative, but unfortunately, it states that I have to format usb stick before use in samsung tablet. I am unsure how to do this so that I can start to download updates ?
It sounds like you are trying to download the file to a tablet? I would suggest using a pc/mac to download as it will format the USB for you. (it will delete everything that is on the USB when formatting).
Updated my software to the latest version yesterday, now it won't open up maps. I hear the beep when I click on it, but nothing happens.
Wait wait i have 64gb that works but when i try it is larger thabk 64 gb do you want to continue when i press yes it says error
My Soul will not read the usb. I have verified that it’s the correct usb. How do I troubleshoot?
how you get rid of that terrible in car sound via the speakers??? in my 2022 Kia cerato/forte GT ??
Hello, not available for Latin America right?
Why doesn't it update automatically wirelessly when i have the newest kia?
Software won't install. Says it's already installed, but it never installed! Never installed on the hard drive, so there isn't anything to move to the USB drive. So I can't update 2018 Kia Niro Touring Hybrid. Open to suggestions please
Mi kona n line 2024 sais that the usb drive doenst have compatible files. Even if i download the correct firmware😢
Ok, but one thing you neglected to mention is when you “finish” the update & your radio restarts, are you supposed to take the usb flash drive out or leave it in? Because that happened to me & when the update was supposedly done & my radio turned off and then back on, I got a “restoring data” message & then after a bit my radio went off again & the process repeated, the update I mean. So that I need clarification on. Thank you.
Seems rather odd that the creator of this video has yet to respond to your question. I really wish they would because I have the exact same question.
Hi, I live in LATAM, I can't find my region for updating anyone knows how?
It's kind of crazy how early I was able to get my '23 Stinger (June 2022) but the recent software updates don't apply to it (only up to 2022) even though I think it would actually be beneficial.
We don't have 23 Stinger's out in Canada yet, but my guess is that you have the latest software version.
@@BrantfordKia I actually live in Canada, Vancouver BC to be exact. What my car has is definitely the previous version with the light bulbs for the radio station number. This new version seems to change the layout quite a bit. Oh well, maybe in due time.
@@BrantfordKia then i guess my 23 stinger that i got back in oct of 22 isnt actually 23? lol
