    So, I realized after I purchased my 2014 Optima EX that map updates appear to cost $150. Is there any way to update the nav software for free or is paying this crazy amount the only option? I would of asked the dealer to include the new version before making the purchase on Saturday. I wonder...

    ....vehicle specific? or ....lets just say if I wanted to try a version out in another optima....would it take? If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to reply to send me a pm ;) (Heard someone talking about downloading via torrent or FTP, etc, and it actually working, wondering if this is true)...

    It seems the more I browse to find the lastest NAV software update I find lots of people saying they had the dealer to an update to it that helped with the NAV and the bluetooth. well I also had this done, via a customer satisfaction recall, and it did help my bluetooth, it is now showing the...

    My new KOH with Nav does not show traffic on the major arteries in my home city or anywhere for that matter. I could not find any options for this ( there was on my 2013 Optima Nav) so I called Sirius Canada and was shocked to hear that Kia's Navigation systems are not on line yet for traffic...

  7. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So is this the last version for this? Such a disappointment they do not upgrade the software with new features. I thought the whole point was that ??? No more changing out headunits just update the software. Almost 2 yrs go by and no update? Anyone have more info?

    Hey, everyone. I'm a proud owner of a 2013 Optima SX with the UVO system. I love this car, but my biggest complaint would be the UVO system. I am just curious if anyone knows how I can update my system or see if my system needs an update. I've had the car for almost a year now and I've never...

    I was just wondering if nav updates are covered by the warranty? We recently (meaning, 5 days ago) purchased a 2012 Kia Optima but the map release version is from 2011. Is this something I can ask the dealership to update for us? Thanks so much, G~

    I read online that Optima's sold in 2013 get 7 Nav updates (one a year for seven years). It seems that the nav update is a computer download that you put on a flash drive, and then plug it into the car to upload. Once I do this I should be able to take the same flash drive and update my 2011...

    I am starting a long trip this week, I will post random observations here during the week. I first one is that under med and light acceleration when it used to downshift to pick up speed I am seeing more EV assist than previously, even of the battery is a lower level. Sent from AutoGuide.com...

    I know this questions can't be answered with certainty, but I was wondering how likely it is that future UVO software updates will "tweak" the features. I'm not talking to the extent of the planned UVO2. Referring more to little enhancements like: --Adding 6 or so preset buttons to the...

    Hello everyone, I assume if we want to update our firmware on these UVO's we need to sign up at kiatechinfo.com? I do not see anything inside the MyKia profile. Are there any updates that anyone knows about right now as of 12/29/11? Thanks, Chris

    Last week we had several TSB'S done on our hybrid. BAD IDEA It runs great. Very smooth. But the gas mileage went down 10%. The instant average always read 35.6 or in that neighborhood. Now it is 32.6 or so. And the energy flow display used to show it running on battery maybe 10% of the time...
  16. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    After a brief hiatus, I am back on the forums. Got my 2nd synthetic oil change and put in my k and n filter, along with sx spoiler. The car feels grunter but probably placebo. Just took my 8000 mile optima ex t for a little spirited driving, with some twisties and straights, hit 100 for the...
