Thank you for making this video. We purchased a 2017 Genesis G90 last week and I was able to locate the update map via the Genesis website. For our model, you must save to a USB drive, I purchased a 64GB (32 is too small) 3.0 at Walmart for less than 10 dollars, it took almost 2 hrs to download the update to my hard drive, not sure how long it took to then save to USB. Once in vehicle and followed prompts, it took one and half hours with the vehicle running. It was a success, the map updated to version 32 from 21, along with other software updates. I thought we'd have to get updated at the dealership, but I was able to get it completed today. Very thankful for your video, you pointed me in the right direction. Keep up the good work. We are located in USA, state of Florida
If you have a 32 GB SD card in your car already, you can use the same one. Backup what is on it first, format, then upload the new version to the SD card. Just finished doing the April 2021 update for my 2020 Kia Stinger. Didn't even know about the others. Turned on notifications at my account. Looking around for helps on how to USE the new software. Very different.
Thanks for the guide updated kia cee'd 2017 no problem at all I think it was still on its original software/maps! I was hoping for wireless android auto but that still doesnt work
Well, I own a 1st generation Genesis Prada 2013 technology and premium package, which was the last and the best version of Genesis Prada to ever exist with a naturally aspirated GDI engine. Yet they do not have an update for it. The lowest they currently have is the 2015 update. Please help me!
Dear sir I have kia Sportage 2018 i just do what you say but in my screen dose not have sd card place only usb when i put the ad card it’s doesn’t work what can i do
According to the "Navigation Updater" program (USA/Canada), the 2018 Sportage has a "Standard-class Gen5 Navigation" system. The "Navigation Updater" program lists a USB device being used for the update on the screens where the update instructions are displayed, but the website page section for the "Standard-class Gen5 Navigation" states to use a 32 GB SD card. I cannot confirm which one is correct since I don't have that vehicle. According to the update.kia.com/US/EN/updateGuide/03?navi-id=stand_5th website the steps to update the "Standard-class Gen5 Navigation" system are: 1) Ensure that the update files have been saved on the SD card. Connect the SD card tot he vehicle before starting the update. 2) Select "All Menus" on the Home screen 3) Select "Setup" on the "All Menus" screen 4) Select "System Info" on the Setup screen 5) Select "SW Info" and then "Update" on the "System Info" screen to proceed with the update
I'm not sure if a different region's update will successfully install into your vehicle's radio head unit. The update function may look for specific files for the preconfigured region that the current software was intended for when installed at the factory. I've never tried it, so I really can't offer and informed advice on the topic. You may need to contact the vendor that distributes the update for the answer to your question or ask your local service department to see if they know the answer.
I have a 2019 Stinger and tried updating last night using a flash drive instead of the small SD card (I don't have an SD slot on my desktop PC). Didn't work - the car didn't recognize the file. Is it not possible to update using the flash drive?
The "Navigation Updater" program lists the type of media required to update the unit in the vehicle. 2018 Stinger = SD Card (Gen5 Navigation) 2019-2021 Stinger = SD Card (Gen5 Navigation) 2022 Stinger = USB Device (Gen5W Navigation) I've been using a Transcend USB 3.0 card reader to read/write micro SD and SD cards on my computer. It's currently priced at $7.49 USD. Here's my affiliate link to the one I use amzn.to/33vNYG1 I've been using SanDisk Ultra 32GB SD cards with our 2017 Kia Soul to perform the map/software updates. That SD card is currently priced at $10.24 USD. Here's my affiliate link to the SanDisk SD card amzn.to/3b0uPQs
@@RetroCarGuy530 Thanks for the quick reply and info. I'll hafta' dig through some drawers and see if I still have an old SD card reader/adapter. 'preciate the help.
I have 2016 Sorento. I updated it via a USB device. after the update, the map is lost. after checking the head unit I found a SD card slot, I checked the SD card it says 16 GB the update from USB is 22 GB. do I need to replace the SD card with 32 GB to make it work? thanks
On the Navigation Updater screen for the 2016-18 Sorento, it states the "Portable Storage Device" is a "SD Card". On the second screen, it shows the data size as 21 GB. You do need to purchased a 32 GB SD card to use for the update based on the info presented in the Navigation Updater.
I have Sonata 2016 with USA version , i downloaded the middle east version as i located , but its not updating . is there other steps i have to make ? plz help
I'm not aware of being able to change the region of the world with simply loading an update targeted for that new region. If the update process is not automatically picking up the update from the SD card, then I will not be able to suggest any alternative approach to force it to load. You might need to contact a Hyundai dealership where you're currently located to see if such an update is possible and if the GPS hardware in the Sonata is compatible with the GPS satellites for that region as well.
The Navigation Updater has the following Region/Country selections: South Korea United States Canada Australia New Zealand Middle East Russia It does not appear that Europe is supported by the Navigation Updater program at this time.
I did the update with an engine turned off and got an error 608. How does the running engine help to install? Doesn't it have those 12V during the engine turned off?
@@RetroCarGuy530 thank you for the reply. I have tried to update with the engine running, still get that error 608. Very strange. Now I have a corrupt system with buttons not working properly:( Any idea how to solve that? I cannot find an old version now to install it.
Make sure the update you downloaded is the correct one for your year/model vehicle. You might try downloading it again onto the update media and try again or on a different SD card or USB drive (depending on what the update media is for your vehicle). Other than that, you may need to take it in to have the service department attempt a reload of the software.
@@RetroCarGuy530 Yeah, it is correct. I have even talked to Hyundai AutoEver and they finally told me to bring the car for replacement of the unit at no cost because of defective hardware (error 608) . But the problem is that the car is outside of US and there are no such services here. I am searching for some other method of restoring the old system version. Maybe you have it somewhere available or maybe there is a way of restoring to factory mode or something? I can't believe there is no way in getting back to the old version.
@@RetroCarGuy530 Currently the system is somehow partly updated. Multimedia part seems to change its design to newer version for example. The only problem is that the volume buttons don't work. Neither on steering wheel nor the volume knob. Both of them mutes the volume when touched. Other than that everything is working
In version 1.0.59 (latest as of 16-May-2021) of the Navigation Updater application, in the "Settings" section the "Region/Country" setting shows the following options: South Korea United States Canada Australia New Zealand Middle East Russia
The SD card in the SD card slot should not be used for this update process. The 2015 Soul update requires 21 GB of storage space on a SD card. The instructions state you should purchase a high quality SD card with 32 GB of storage capacity. update.kia.com/US/EN/updateGuide
Great video...after my g80 completed the update surprisingly it still shows that I have an update under settings despite showing"update complete" did something go wrong? Nevertheless, the map looks quite different 🤷🤦
From what I remember our 2017 Kia Soul we have does not have any sort of status statement that an update may or may not be available. As long as the media (SD card or USB drive) was updated with the latest files for your unit, and you installed the update using that media (SD card or USB drive), it should be running the latest.
Great informative vid!! So... I'm not sure if you've seen this, but with my 2013 Genesis, there's no available download. Not on the genesis update or the kia update program. Completely non-listed. Any clue where I could start? Oh - I did give Hyundai support a ring, and after providing them all of my info (great.. now I'll get spam and more junk mail) she said she couldn't help with the download and I would have to take it to the nearest blah blah blah dealership. NO. Nuh-uh. Not going to do it. Do you have any idea where I could pick up from where they are clearly inept?
I have a different video where I show that I purchased an update on an SD card for my 2017 Kia Soul. I just checked the website where you can purchase Hyundai updates (USA and Canada) and it lists three different sub models of the Genesis for the 2013 model year. I believe you can order and update to be sent to you. www.mapnsoft.com/hyundai/ Here's the link to that other video (shows a lot of the same stuff since the update process itself is the same, just how you obtain the update is different): ua-cam.com/video/F7KmmLhUs_w/v-deo.html
@@RetroCarGuy530 Very cool! I was looking moreso for a radio update - I find the existing UI very clunky and limiting... Only 18 presets that you have to go through 3 different menus to get to? BOOO!!! So, are these updates for maps only? I would think they would improve the head unit UI, but what do I know? :)
The updates include maps and radio software updates based on what I've observed and many other owners have observed after updating. Some like the changes and some hate them. My wife doesn't seem to mind any of the changes based on her responses to my questions about the updates.
In the "Navigation Updater" program, it will display "Portable Storage Device" and it will say "SD Card" or "USB". For example, my 2017 Kia Soul uses a "SD Card" with a file system format of "FAT32". A 2023 Kia Soul uses a "USB" thumb drive with a file system format of "exFAT". Check to make sure you're using the expected media type and format type expected for your year/make/model.
The Navigation Updater lists USB media with a file system type of exFAT for the 2021 Kia Seltos. The data size is reported at 39 GB, so the USB thumb drive would need to be at least a 64 GB thumb drive.
Looking on the update.kia.com website, I found a page which shows support for downloading the updates for the Middle East using the Kia Navigation Updater program. Here's the link I found to that Kia website: update.kia.com/ME/EN/navigationUpdate
Looking at the list of vehicles in the "Navigation Updater" app and on their website, it appears the 2015 Kia Sorento is not supported by the free download process. I did find via the www.mapnsoft.com/kia website where you can purchase a SD card with the updates for your Kia, it does list the 2014-2020 Kia Sorento as a valid vehicle for that approach. I don't know if that means the later model years in the "Navigation Updater" would actually work or not. If you go to the www.mapnsoft.com/kia website (you must create a user account to login), you can purchase an update for the 2015 Kia Sorento for $25 USD plus shipping. This is what I did for our 2017 Kia Soul several months ago (before the free update process was available for that car). I show that process in this video ua-cam.com/video/F7KmmLhUs_w/v-deo.html The version available for the 2015 Kia Sorento via the mapnsoft website is "2015 Kia Sorento Map Update 1412S3" and it was released on Nov 23, 2020. I hope that helps.
Excuse me sir a question I already downloaded the program and followed all the steps but when I connect my usb driver to my car it does nothing it only detects it as music and I put the update option but it only tells me to connect my device with the data to update but does nothing
The "Navigation Updater" and the mapnsoft website where you can order the update both show the 2020 Kia Forte as having a SD card for the media for the navigation system update. Some systems do use a USB drive for the update media, but the "Navigation Updater" will state that in the screen when you select the vehicle. The "Navigation Updater" states" "2020-21 Forte 4Door, Standard-class Gen5 Navigation, Portable Storage Device: SD Card" That suggests to me there is a SD memory card slot present in the unit. The USB connection is likely for music only. Often, there will be a rubber cover over the SD card slot. According to the 2020 Kia Forte "Car Multimedia Quick Reference Guide" and the 2020 Kia Forte "Navigation System User's Manual", there is a location with a rubber cover with "SD" on it someplace below the main screen of the unit. I suggest looking for the rubber cover with the "SD" printing on it and remove the cover and you should see where the SD card is located. Download the update again on 32 GB SD card (not the one in the unit now) and use that to update your navigation system.
Everything I can find says it does and as you found the use of a USB drive did not work. The "SD" card slot is labeled as item "12" in the charts listed in your car's navigation manuals that I mentioned in my previous reply. I don't have access to a 2020 Kia Forte to look for myself. I'm not sure how else I can help at this point.
I can't state what exactly each vehicle gets in the updates from Kia/MnSoft since it varies by vehicle make/model and the radio system in each vehicle. According the Navigation Updater application, the 2017 Kia Sportage has a "Standard-class Gen4 Navigation" system as does the 2017 Kia Soul Plus that I used in my videos. The 2017 Kia Soul does have CarPlay included in its functionality (even before being updated). If yours does not have that feature, the best I can suggest is to contact MnSoft to see if there is any update to enable it, but if it's not included in the files that are downloadable for your vehicle, I doubt that it would be available separately.
It is true that there are limits on the oldest model year Kia/Genesis/Hyundai vehicle that is supported by the Navigation Updater (free downloader). In my previous video, I showed the other approach of purchasing the update on a SD card for my 2017 Kia Soul. That update cost $25 USD plus tax and shipping for a total of $33.14 USD. That other video: ua-cam.com/video/F7KmmLhUs_w/v-deo.html
I'm not aware of being able to change the navigation region for a specific vehicle. The navigation equipment can be specific to a region of the world where the vehicle was first sold. It would be best to check with an authorized service center in your area.
The navigation updater only supports a somewhat limited subset of the recent Genesis / Hyundai / Kia models. Here are the Cadenza's radio/navigation head unit generations according to a forum admin on this website: www.mapnsoft.com/kia GEN 3: 2014 - 2016 GEN 4: 2017 - 2018 GEN 5: 2019 GEN 5 W: 2020 - 2021 The navigation updater only supports GEN 4, GEN 5 and GEN 5 W units in the Kia Cadenza. I checked on the the above mentioned website (requires a user account on that website) to see if an update can be ordered on a SD card for the 2016 Kia Cadenza and it did list this update as available: 2016 Kia Cadenza Map Update 1412S3 / November 23rd, 2020
You can change the region within the program that downloads the data. I don't know if you can load navigation data/software into the unit in your vehicle if it wasn't intended for that region of the world.
I'm sorry that since there are so many models of Kia / Hyundai / Genesis vehicles and different radio systems that I cannot provide detailed assistance in setting up a vehicle for the Russian language (if supported). In most cases, I would check the "User Settings" dashboard configuration screen or Vehicle / System settings looking for a Language selection.
The "Navigation Updater" free download method only seems to support recent model years of the Kia/Hyundai/Genesis vehicles. I have another video where I used the www.mapnsoft.com/kia website to purchase an update my 2017 Kia Soul. That website does show an option for the 2012 Kia Sportage. My 2017 Kia Soul uses a SD card for the update/map media. 2012 Kia Sportage Map Update 152U06 When was this version released? April 12th, 2021 $25 for media + Shipping Vehicle Update Time: Approximately 60 min Vehicle Installation Instructions (PDF): www.mapnsoft.com/kia/pub/media/pdfs/v15.0/Kia_V15_Map_Update_Instructions_U01_6.pdf The installation PDF states the update media is a USB drive. Here's a link to my other video where I go through the update process using the purchased media: ua-cam.com/video/F7KmmLhUs_w/v-deo.html
@@RetroCarGuy530 I just chatted with mapnsoft and they are saying there was a software flaw with the nav unit in the 2013 Genesis and because of this, there is no update whatsoever. Just like the bluelink, another dead useless system.
Based on my searching online, it appears the European map updates are only performed by Kia dealerships. I found one page that says a new Kia vehicle included six free annual navigation updates. I can only suggest to contact a local Kia dealership and see what they say it takes to get the update performed. I wish I could find a better/easier answer.
I do not see a 2021 Kia Stonic in the list of vehicles available for an update via the free navigation updater program. update.kia.com/US/EN/updateNoticeView/331/pop2 I also don't see the Stonic listed in the mapnsoft website. www.mapnsoft.com/kia/.

Looking at the list of vehicles in the "Navigation Updater" app and on their website, it appears the 2015 Kia Sorento is not supported by the free download process.
I did find via the www.mapnsoft.com/kia website where you can purchase a SD card with the updates for your Kia, it does list the 2014-2020 Kia Sorento as a valid vehicle for that approach. I don't know if that means the later model years in the "Navigation Updater" would actually work or not.
If you go to the www.mapnsoft.com/kia website (you must create a user account to login), you can purchase an update for the 2015 Kia Sorento for $25 USD plus shipping. This is what I did for our 2017 Kia Soul several months ago (before the free update process was available for that car). I show that process in this video ua-cam.com/video/F7KmmLhUs_w/v-deo.html
The version available for the 2015 Kia Sorento via the mapnsoft website is "2015 Kia Sorento Map Update 1412S3" and it was released on Nov 23, 2020.
I hope that helps.
Excuse me sir a question I already downloaded the program and followed all the steps but when I connect my usb driver to my car it does nothing it only detects it as music and I put the update option but it only tells me to connect my device with the data to update but does nothing
The "Navigation Updater" and the mapnsoft website where you can order the update both show the 2020 Kia Forte as having a SD card for the media for the navigation system update. Some systems do use a USB drive for the update media, but the "Navigation Updater" will state that in the screen when you select the vehicle.
The "Navigation Updater" states" "2020-21 Forte 4Door, Standard-class Gen5 Navigation, Portable Storage Device: SD Card"
That suggests to me there is a SD memory card slot present in the unit. The USB connection is likely for music only. Often, there will be a rubber cover over the SD card slot.
According to the 2020 Kia Forte "Car Multimedia Quick Reference Guide" and the 2020 Kia Forte "Navigation System User's Manual", there is a location with a rubber cover with "SD" on it someplace below the main screen of the unit.
I suggest looking for the rubber cover with the "SD" printing on it and remove the cover and you should see where the SD card is located. Download the update again on 32 GB SD card (not the one in the unit now) and use that to update your navigation system.
my car don’t have sd card
only usb
Everything I can find says it does and as you found the use of a USB drive did not work. The "SD" card slot is labeled as item "12" in the charts listed in your car's navigation manuals that I mentioned in my previous reply.
I don't have access to a 2020 Kia Forte to look for myself. I'm not sure how else I can help at this point.
How to get non-navigation software update to get CarPlay (2017 Kia Sportage EX AWD)
I can't state what exactly each vehicle gets in the updates from Kia/MnSoft since it varies by vehicle make/model and the radio system in each vehicle. According the Navigation Updater application, the 2017 Kia Sportage has a "Standard-class Gen4 Navigation" system as does the 2017 Kia Soul Plus that I used in my videos. The 2017 Kia Soul does have CarPlay included in its functionality (even before being updated). If yours does not have that feature, the best I can suggest is to contact MnSoft to see if there is any update to enable it, but if it's not included in the files that are downloadable for your vehicle, I doubt that it would be available separately.
@@RetroCarGuy530 they said CarPlay update is included in their map update but will not work with my car as he don’t havé gps-navigation
Not free for any car older than 2015. For those cards they charge $50.
It is true that there are limits on the oldest model year Kia/Genesis/Hyundai vehicle that is supported by the Navigation Updater (free downloader). In my previous video, I showed the other approach of purchasing the update on a SD card for my 2017 Kia Soul. That update cost $25 USD plus tax and shipping for a total of $33.14 USD.

How to change navigation region in genesis ?
I'm not aware of being able to change the navigation region for a specific vehicle. The navigation equipment can be specific to a region of the world where the vehicle was first sold. It would be best to check with an authorized service center in your area.
@@RetroCarGuy530 i already visited but they are not ready to take anything related to US specs
have a '16 cadenza so im assuming i downloaded this for nothing?
The navigation updater only supports a somewhat limited subset of the recent Genesis / Hyundai / Kia models.
Here are the Cadenza's radio/navigation head unit generations according to a forum admin on this website: www.mapnsoft.com/kia
GEN 3: 2014 - 2016
GEN 4: 2017 - 2018
GEN 5: 2019
GEN 5 W: 2020 - 2021
The navigation updater only supports GEN 4, GEN 5 and GEN 5 W units in the Kia Cadenza.
I checked on the the above mentioned website (requires a user account on that website) to see if an update can be ordered on a SD card for the 2016 Kia Cadenza and it did list this update as available: 2016 Kia Cadenza Map Update 1412S3 / November 23rd, 2020
Can I change the Region from USA to The Middle East ?
You can change the region within the program that downloads the data. I don't know if you can load navigation data/software into the unit in your vehicle if it wasn't intended for that region of the world.
@@RetroCarGuy530 I will try, 🙏🏻 Thanks
Hi cool video 👍, have change language dashboard to Russian?.
You can help?
I'm sorry that since there are so many models of Kia / Hyundai / Genesis vehicles and different radio systems that I cannot provide detailed assistance in setting up a vehicle for the Russian language (if supported). In most cases, I would check the "User Settings" dashboard configuration screen or Vehicle / System settings looking for a Language selection.
@@RetroCarGuy530 Thanks.
How would I update a 2012 Kia sportage head unit
The "Navigation Updater" free download method only seems to support recent model years of the Kia/Hyundai/Genesis vehicles.
I have another video where I used the www.mapnsoft.com/kia website to purchase an update my 2017 Kia Soul. That website does show an option for the 2012 Kia Sportage. My 2017 Kia Soul uses a SD card for the update/map media.
2012 Kia Sportage Map Update 152U06
When was this version released? April 12th, 2021
$25 for media + Shipping
Vehicle Update Time: Approximately 60 min
Vehicle Installation Instructions (PDF): www.mapnsoft.com/kia/pub/media/pdfs/v15.0/Kia_V15_Map_Update_Instructions_U01_6.pdf
The installation PDF states the update media is a USB drive.
Here's a link to my other video where I go through the update process using the purchased media: ua-cam.com/video/F7KmmLhUs_w/v-deo.html
@@RetroCarGuy530 I just chatted with mapnsoft and they are saying there was a software flaw with the nav unit in the 2013 Genesis and because of this, there is no update whatsoever. Just like the bluelink, another dead useless system.
Para un kia morning 2019 ?
I don’t see that model on the list for North American vehicles from Kia. So, I don’t have the necessary information to answer your question.
How can we get the European one?
Based on my searching online, it appears the European map updates are only performed by Kia dealerships. I found one page that says a new Kia vehicle included six free annual navigation updates. I can only suggest to contact a local Kia dealership and see what they say it takes to get the update performed. I wish I could find a better/easier answer.
Irrelevant for Australian vehicles - at least if you have a 2018 Cerato.
hola, para un kia stonic 2021
I do not see a 2021 Kia Stonic in the list of vehicles available for an update via the free navigation updater program.
update.kia.com/US/EN/updateNoticeView/331/pop2
I also don't see the Stonic listed in the mapnsoft website. www.mapnsoft.com/kia/.
