  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

It's been some time since I logged into MyHyundai and I only did so because I wanted to update my 2016 Equus' GPS and was directed back to the MyHyundai site to get the D/L. (which I understand isn't a D/L, but will be a thumb drive sent in the mail for the Equus) So okay I go to the site. Oh no, I guess I've been removed (sort of) from the latest website. Passwork doesn't work, but I was allowed to change my password (back to the old password) and get into the site. But both of our cars are no longer listed. So okay, I'll add my Equus to my account. Nope. My car is listed as being in another account. Huh? You mean my old account information that disappeared?

So now I need to come up with bill of sale (from way back then?) plus the middle name of the salesman that sold the car to you. Just kidding on that one. But do come up with the date you purchased the car. Right as if I remember that! Then photograph your registration, your passpport or driving license and 9000 S&H green stamps and send off into the web. No worries about security, pal. Then wait for clearance from the mothership. I've been taking thing this car to the dealership for warranty work since forever and they don't know I own the car now? How about the replacement front air struts and other bits changed under warranty? Free oil changes and so on....

I went through this same BS with my wife's old 2015 Genesis and only solved that issue by trading it in on a new 2020 Genesis. Several attempt to use the MyHyundai site failed to get that old car registered. Oh, and since the newer Genesis isn't listed as being ours, I guess I'll need to add that one the same way.

Last time I tried to talk to a human at Hyundai was: "A human will be with you in just a moment, but we are experiencing a longer than normal wait time, please stay on the line...."

I just want a GPS update, nothing more!!! Even if I stole the freaking car who would care if I updated the freaking GPS!!!!! Golly!

Or maybe just pick door number two? I'll see if my dealership will order the new GPS D/L for me. Otherwise what a complete and total PITA.

I hope Hyundai don't send me a follow up survey about my experiences. Please do leave a positive rating. Yeah, right!

End of Rant.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Are you saying your Bluelink account expired?

I think the bottom line is that you don’t need an active Bluelink account to update your maps at the MapNSoft website above. You will need to pay for the update, however.
 
If you go to that site you will see that there's no listing for a 2016 Hyundai Equus and therefore impossible to update this way.

If you go to this site you will see that the Equus has to have the update send and is not a D/L.

I know that. You can order from that site as well. It's where I order the updates for my daughter's 2012 Sonata. You just have to click on the correct link after making an account.
 
I can confirm they removed the Equus from both navigation sites last month. I had been waiting over a year for an update to become available but the message was always "Sorry, update is not available due to system bug. No ETA."

The latest reply from Mapnsoft on their Equus forum is: "Please contact your local Hyundai dealership and see if they are able to assist you if you can, please contact Hyundai Customer Care at 800-633-5151 for any further questions or concerns regarding when and if any updates will be available for this y/m/m."

I mentioned this to my service manager and he was surprised to see this. Said he'd look in to it but I haven't heard anything back as of yet. Will advise if I learn something. But it doesn't look too good for us...
