I have found that both Hyundai and Kia deliver their new cars with 2 year old map versions from MapNsoft. Before you sign on the dotted line make sure that you get the latest version included on your contract. Also be aware that their new map version is over 2 years old when they become available compared to Google maps. What Hyundai should do is to load the latest map version before the new owner picks up the car. http://www.mapnsoft.com Hyundai HSH V5 USA 05.04.13 Nov 2012 V7 USA 05.09.01 Feb 2014 V8 USA 07.09.02 Sep 2014 V9 USA 08.01.30 Jun 2015 Optima Hybrid V4 USA 04.04.15 Apr 2011 V5 USA 05.04.13 Oct 2012 V8 USA 07.09.02 Sep 2014 V9 USA 08.09.30 Jun 2015
My dealer wanted over $100 in labor to install it. It is very easy to install using the on screen guide you just have to keep the car running for about 40 minutes. You can get ithe update started and then go for a drive while it's cooking.
From Jason3D "I bought my hsh in May and had the V7 software. Fishnrib in the other thread suggested I email corporate. I wrote to them questioning why I had 2014 software in a 2015 vehicle and they investigated with the dealership I purchased the vehicle from. Just got a call from the service department setting up an appointment to update the software. Took only 3 days for them to get this issue resolved. Thanks for the help! Hope this helps other people too." Sign up with Myhyundai and make your complaints there.
so let me get this straight, the car has to be running in order to download the software? I looked at the site and they wanted $219 for a new SD card and you said they want $100 for labor Give me a break.
All car gps updates are very expensive compared to Garmin stand alone systems that have free updated maps. You can install the card yourself very easily like you install a new operating system on your computer. The car does not download anything but the car has to be running the whole time the update is being installed.
Yeesh. Makes me glad Toyota uses DVD's . Or at least, they used to. My FIL's newer Lexus will download automatic map updates over cell (or so he says) so long as he subscribes to a service for it. Sadly I think my Gen 4 nav is pretty much out of luck when it comes to map updates. But at least as of the last one (last year?) my subdivision has finally been added to the map. It only took 7 years.
