2019 Map Update now available online

[PxbVic]

Likewise never had any issues doing the updates (touch wood).

Thanks guys for the kind words but this has been escalating for a while, The update works, but the car became dim witted and slow electronically after the update with the new Kia uniform navigation system (last update, you know the ugly purple monster), and why I presented the argument to Kia its not just the centre console, it affects the digital section of the dash, the hud, it even affects the Auto trans shifting... I got the runt of the litter so I'm pushing to have the car replaced..

Logically to have 3 centre consoles fail is statistically impossible, I have not found anyone who has had the trouble I have had with this car over the last 18 months... It will be 3 years in March so time to fix it or replace it...

Boy thats tough reading you wouldn't wish that on your...no maybe you would anyway I'd have busted a gasket by now. Please let us know the outcome going forward. What a terrible experience.

Okay I have my car back...

I now have my 4th navigation head unit, and radio installed in 18 months, a technician came from Kia corporate (not the dealer) to bring the unit to the dealer and worked on the car, it has been down graded to the previous software version, they also replaced the amp for the stereo, and did some software update for the automatic transmission, the car is back to itself for the moment albeit with older navigation software... At least it isn't that god awful purple 1970s wet dream that came as the latest map/navigation update mid last year...

After talking to the technician from Kia and showing him just how bad the slow and clunky last update was that has killed 2 of the 3 navigation units and radios, he will be reporting back to Kia as the current map update appears too buggy, bloated and slow for the MY19 navigation hardware... Any car after 2020 should be okay as the hardware is updated... Even the current Kia Rio can run the current navigation update better than the 2018/19 Stinger navigation system hardware...

I'm not sure how this will impact future map and navigation updates as my maps are very old now, but at least for now it seem to be working as it should...

Short list of issues:
Head unit was dimwitted and slow on current unified software, menu navigation or button switching from music to radio, or navigation took seconds to respond.
Tapping through music library on USB or Bluetooth took seconds to respond, do it enough times an it would become unresponsive.
Navigation software typing in destinations or selecting a stored address took second to respond.
Intermittently the car would start and have no sound from radio, USB or Bluetooth music but would have navigation prompts or traffic warnings.
Head unit would crash if I pressed options too many times navigating around the menus.
Head unit would crash while driving with no inteaction, taking out the digital dash information and HUD while it rebooted.
Start the car and intermittently the head unit would fully reboot taking up to 90 seconds until the car was ready to go.
Automatic transmission was slow to respond with throttle demand, this was actually scary to drive.
Traffic warnings would be broken audio or not spoken at all, then would be fine.
I provided a list of 15 or 16 bugs and functional issues with the last update software, including things that appeared to be for left hand drive cars, such as the onscreen back button on the left of the centre screen instead of on the right where it was previously.

See how long this lasts, I hope they give me an update on new navigation software, but I don't know when it will be.. Also said it's a 2 year wait list for a new Stinger

I have 2019 build and latest maps and never had an issue, works seamlessly.

Lucky you...

Mines golden also, I doubt that it’s an actual car issue, just your car only.

Glad to hear you're making progress finally. Not a good look for Kia.

I feel your pain bro. So this might sound like a silly response now after 4 times unlucky ... but have they checked the battery and power supply system? I have had a few euro's in the past (bmw, mg, vw) and if the battery is not up to task then things start going "funny" not broken just not functioning like they should, as parts of the electrical system start to shut down to accommodate the power losses. The battery might bench test ok but under car loads might be suspect. It sounds very much like what you have described as your issues. Might be worth a look. Although I would expect this would be the first thing they would have looked at ... surely? Finger crossed for you to have it sorted.

Yeah, first thing checked over 12 months ago battery rated at 740CCA pulls 725CCA on a load test, however when the car is running, power shouldn't be an issue..

Never had issues with battery, however I understand what you are saying got a mate with a 2021 Audi S5 Coupe, having power issues had the battery replaced 2 weeks ago, but still has an ongoing issue..

I went for a drive Saturday 12 Feb, to Mansfield to the Targa High Country here in Victoria, all good 650km drive for the day until I was 30 minutes from home and then the centre console did it again.. Re-booted mid drive..

Have reported to Kia again, don't know what will happen, but the dealer is at their wits end with this car and so am I, I'll take a buy back or replacement, but this one needs to be crushed, it's a fecking dud, that no one can seem to fix..

3 years old on March 1, 18 months now of drama's with the entire centre console and screen unit..

Breaks my heart, because I love the car just hate the electronics..

Im sure i missed something reading through so sorry for a clone post.

Did the update today and everything BUT the maps/nav took. Any thoughts? My first guess is that the download didn't happen completely, but i didn't know if it may be something else. Anyone have this issue?

 

[Ladski]

Hey guys, MY22 here. When i drive through a school zone, regardless of time, the navigation guide states the correct limit but the HUD keeps flashing '40' and continuously beeps as a warning (although im doing less than the correct speed limit).

Does anybody else have this issue? If not, any tips?

I turned off traffic signs on the HUD settings but didnt work.

Only bought the car recently but quite annoying...

Hi Ladski (sik name)

Has your deactivation of the traffic signs setting stuck? On my my22 GT it defaults back to the factory content every time I start the car. The only setting that sticks is disabling the heads up unit all together.

Makes it useless imo.

Got the same. I just assumed it was incorrectly reading the '40' and thinking it was a 40 zone. Didn't know it was supposed to know the school zone times. I just ignore it (and have the beeping silenced)

 

[AusStinger]

Anyone in Aus done the latest map updates ?
Care to share ?

I'm a little cautious after doing the last update and winding up with a display from Miami Vice.....

there is no update for the Aus stingers yet, last update was like May 2021

 

[AusStinger]

Huh, I thought there was.....

 

[Reldas]

Huh, I thought there was.....

there is one out for the US but not Aus, even the US one got pulled from the website due to bugs.

 

[Rastus]

There have been a couple of software version updates (for the newer widescreen models anyway) over the last few months since I originally downloaded the last full update in June 21 (version 210709 downloaded on Dec 21 and version 210913 downloaded on Mar 22), but no navigation update as yet for AU. These software updates fixed the issue is was having with school zones etc not showing up after the June 21 update, but that was basically all that I could see had changed.

 

[Scaven]

It would be nice if they could fix widescreen Android Auto, but I won't hold my breath
