What year is your Genesis? If it's a 2011, like mine it didn't fail.
The dealer has to pay MapandSoft a fee for the license code to update your NAV. If the code is not entered, you can't go any further in the software update. Hence, the failure.
My 2011 V8 Genny is getting updated tomorrow morning. Will post final details.

my 2011 3.8L has the 3.0.0 - 4/2010 software. I inquired about the September update and was told it "wasn't needed" that it was for older model years.
OK Boys and Girls:
After nearly 2 weeks and driving the owners personal V8 Genesis as a loaner, Finally got my '11 V8 (w/ tech. pkg.) after the dealership updated the head unit which contained the NEWEST version of the map software.
My version now reads: 03.00.00.2009.08.25.14
That's the somewhat good news:
With this new head unit, I found out this is also the one for the Equus. Which confirms my question as to why I now have an icon for car height adjustment and shock "pod" monitoring. Not active, but they show up.
The bad news is - I lost the feature to turn on/off seat entry/exit convenience. Since it was set to on before they swapped the head unit, it still works. Not sure what else I lost yet.
Taking car back to the dealer on Friday so they can hook it up to the computer to determine if the lost features can be put back on and if the 2 new features can be activated.
The drama continues...

Would the owner of a 2011 Tech Package be able to post the following info?
HEAD UNIT (HU) S/W Level
UNIVERSAL TUNER AMPLIFIER (UTA) S/W Level
HARD DISC DRIVE MAP DATA (HDD) S/W Level
I' curious to know if TSB 11-be-008 updates to the same versions.
Thanks!
I'm getting ready to buy a 2011 Genesis 4.6 here in Houston. Have the nav issues been worked out by now? What is the current software version?
thanks
