Stinger GT2 2022 infotainment update file

I wasn't able to get that done.

I can't stress that enough. It ensures the files downloaded copied match bit for bit to what was uploaded. That's why I included the checksum file.

Same archive was shared with one other on here who updated successfully.

Hi @JSolo I am in need of the update as well. Any chance you would be able to upload it if I send you a link to a google drive folder? Really appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm simply incapable of it. I still have the files (thanks). I will have someone do it for me.

I had a friend who was capable try and check the file but the problem really comes down to Google drive. Google drive exploded the downloads into all of the individual files so there was no all encompassing file to run the Sha 1 against. The service manager at the Kia dealership has very little knowledge and tried to download the zip file with only 25Gb left on his C drive so that was a fail. He say's he's going to get IT to unload his hard drive some and try it again. We'll see. I'm currently trying to download the files to my Chromebook but it looks like it's segmenting the download again.

@Noguru Wild! It should not be this difficult or complicated to download the files. There's a total of 23 files, they should be downloaded individually. Otherwise, drive will try to zip them up into a single archive. Grabbing a single 50GB file may be a challenge.

Once downloaded, run the hash validation. If successful, copy to flash drive. Rerun the hash check. If passes, then update car.

@JSolo was kind enough to upload the files for me to dropbox (I started a free trial to gain the necessary storage space). I can PM you a download link. I just need to do some housekeeping with them first (remove a suffix Dropbox added) and get them to an accessible location. 23 files and a checksum file in a single folder on your device is the goal. I installed free software hashcheck and once installed you double click the file and it will verify them in a window. Updating seems to be freshly format in FAT32 a usb stick. Then copy 23 files to the root (first directory) that opens. Don’t copy the hashsum file obviously.

Hi MisterLimey. I'd sure appreciate it.

Hi MisterLimey. I'd sure appreciate it.

Turns out I cannot private message yet because I am too new of a member- Are you able to initiate private messages with me?

 

[Noguru]

I can't either. Can you send the Dropbox link to utupelo@sbcglobal.net?

 

[JSolo]

Join the Mid-West Stingers Discord Server!

Can private message there in real time.

 

[Noguru]

On there now. Waiting ten minutes. I see MisterLimey. I can't even access this forum from my PC. So slow right now

 

[Noguru]

Success! Thanks for you patience guys. Took about 90 minutes. The progress bar stalled for so long I almost ejected it. Android Auto fills the screen, maps are updated.

 

[Noguru]

Oh, and I did run the hashcheck on it.

Has anyone downloaded and installed the new update? Looks like it was released a couple days ago?

Downloading it to a USB stick now. Temp location need 80+ GB FFS. Have to do all this on a VM as I don't have any windows systems at home anymore. I don't intend on being a guinea pig though so I may wait to apply it.

The actual download is 80 GB? or it needs that space to assemble the final tarballs? The last update from '24 (or '25 via nudl) was around 50GB.

Speaking of windows, im using my laptop as a guinea pig to try out linux. Wasn't impressed with mint - too simpleton. Now messing with tuxedo os. Complete 180. I will miss my Foxit pdf editor. Masterpdf is close, but is retarded in different ways (ie, alt button doesn't trigger menus). I am impressed with the overall memory footprint and direct console access. Getting the UI right has been a pita. At least ddc-util (over i2c) works directly to change inputs on this lg monitor lacking any auto input detection and software control. Will also miss winrar to directly view file contents quickly.

I think the actual download is smaller but my guess it wants 80gb of free space to download and extract.

I started out with mint and agree it's really for people who have never touched linux before and are trying out linux for the first time. I'm currently running Manjaro and it's ok. Every now and then an update breaks something but that's the gamble with a rolling release distro. Wanted to try Tumbleweed but had some issues post install so dropped it. Might have to check out Tuxedo. I'm running an older XPS 15 laptop and getting to the point where some drivers are no longer supported anymore with newer releases (mainly GPU) so I'm having to keep the older driver.
