Hi, just hoping to get some insight or experience on updating the built-in nav system on a 2016 SXL. I've asked my dealer about updates, but they either seemed to not know about it or told me it must be up-to-date. After figuring out where to check, I've discovered it is WOEFULLY outdated (by many, many versions).
So I found out about the official nav software system resource (https://www.mapnsoft.com/kia/mapnsoft/dashboard/). It states that I can either purchase an SD card for $25, or a download option would be available on May 15, 2020. But I am only seeing the option to purchase, can't find a link to download anywhere. It states that download is only for 'newer' models, but not sure how 'new' it must be.
- Anyone have luck accessing the download for this yet? If so, what's the specific URL?
- If I download the software, do I just remove the existing SD card and replace the contents with the new software, then go through the update process? Or should I get a new SD card to put it on?
- If I update the software, do I run the risk of having my radio presets reset? Between AM/FM/SAT, I have a bunch that I would prefer to not have to redo.
- Any other tips or tricks for a first-timer?
THANKS!
