Nav/Radio VERY slow

[lavasurfer]

A couple of mornings ago my radio/nav started hanging up, especially with BT audio as that is how I primarily connect to it with my iPhone. I still get sound and the radio boots up in about the same time as always. However if you try to dig into the menus or switch to BT audio there is a 1-2 minute lag (and sometimes longer) before I get a response from the system. I can adjust the volume via the knob are steering wheel and I get an instant response in volume and in the HUD, however the screen lags by 1-2 minutes to show the change in volume.

Having read through the entire 2018+ swap thread the general idea is these units are incredibly hard to brick. It is me thinking that I might not have an entirely bad unit, but maybe the SSD is stating to go bad in the unit. Has anyone else had similar issues and were able to fix it with replacing the SSD in the unit?

Is there actually a discrete SSD in there? I would have expected there to just be a flash chip soldered on the main board.

It has a 120gb SSD inside. A couple of people have extended the SATA cable to the glove box and tried booting 2018+ software to get Android Auto and Car Play working. However they were running into issues with incompatibility with the amp as it is different in the newer G80's.

Its really acting like the SSD is giving up the ghost in my case since everything pretty much works, it just has some nasty lag in the menus.

It's very likely the SSD is going out, you could replace with any size larger than 120GB (I put a 512GB Samsung 860 Evo in there and just imaged the 120GB partitions to it).

If yours is in a really bad way and can't be imaged directly from the old unit, you could restore from my 2015 image to a new drive and just update it from your SD card again.

Update: Downloaded the map update tool off the Hyundai website and updated it via a USB drive. I didn't have any luck using an SD card. After leaving it alone for well over an hour in the driveway I came back to find it working as it should. It had never been updated, and I'm liking the small changes made in the software. We'll see if it starts acting up again. Already ordered a small SSD from Amazon to have around here incase it happens again I can throw the image on it and tear apart the dash.

I never even tried to see about updating it because I figured it would be a part of a paid map update that I would never use. Kudos to Hyundai for at least supporting it a little....even though the folks that bought their most expensive car will never see AA or CP.
