Map update after 4years?

[surprisinguy]

So I havent updated my maps/software for 4 years. I downloaded the map with the navigation updater on the myhyundai site. Will this also update the software for the unit as well?

Yes, usually there are some infotainment updates in there too.

There should be separate map version and software version numbers for the update. Compare them to the version numbers currently installed in the head unit. If they're different then I would expect changes, and the changes should be documented. I've been avoiding a head unit update for at least 4 years now as well.

yeah, didnt want to change how the order for sirius channels were. But I need a new map now so going to go ahead and bite the bullet

 

[Andyj]

Not that I don't trust the Hyundai head unit updates, but I like the way my head unit behaves now (including the proper Sirius channel order) and I don't really use the on-board nav, so I'll pass. Let me know if you go for it and the result.

so the update went great - the other features didnt seem to change any, though I havent gone too deeply into it. The interface looks exactly the same - no "radio tubes" display (one of the reasons I didnt upgrade before). So looks like new maps and everything else is running smoothly. - Took about an hour

The nixie tube display was never for your system. You needn't have worried about that one.

jeez... lol - thanks for the info

 

[surprisinguy]

So do you know the newest current map file serial number?

I saw these two documents posted in another thread.

Well that 2nd pic is interesting - I've been using AAWireless for several years or more. I'll check that out

Yeah. It'd be nice to get rid of my junk KPLAY box - not sure this would work on a 2015 Ultimate though.

Dont get your hope up, the update does not change AA or Car Play integration. What is your major complain about Kplay ?

Their customer service is severely lacking - I was having display problems that I tracked to their supplied LVDS cables and they refused to acknowledge the problem. They claimed that my infotainment display was going bad and it was my issue, despite me sending video that showed otherwise.

I can agree with you on the Kplay customer service, I do find the kplay 2 unit not bad, a few shortcomings but using a Samsung S20 for AA seem to be working fine, before I was using a Pixel 2 and had connections issues, since I change to the S20, everything works great.

The unit itself works fine - I just need to score some replacement LVDS cables (have no clue where to source those). As it stands now, I have to crack open the dash every few weeks and reposition the cables to get a good connection. On the plus side, I have gotten REALLY good at getting the dash apart. Especially when I discovered that the dash is tight & squeak-free even when there's no screws in it!
