That's fantastic, but when will it be available for the 2015 Genesis. From the video it looks like both the Sonata and Genesis have the same Nav System so I can't understand the delay for the flagship vehicle of Hyundai.

Would love for someone to make the download files for the sonata available online so I can attempt to update my Genesis to see if it would work.

I think the system in the Sonata is different from the one in the Genesis. Technology moves so fast these days. Since the Sonata was built after the Genesis - it has a newer system. Just imagine how people feel about the technology available in the Genesis compared to the Equus...

I downloaded and installed it on my Sonata. Works good.
Waiting for the Genesis Ultimate version then life will be complete.
