Ensure to verify the update's success for optimal navigation.
Determine Your System Type
To update your Hyundai's navigation system, first find out which type you have. Different types need different updates. Check your car's owner manual or the infotainment system's 'System Information' or 'About' section for this info.
This helps you download the right software and avoid problems.
Download the Update
To update your Hyundai's navigation system, follow these steps:
- Go to Hyundai's navigation update website using a computer connected to the internet. Ensure your internet is reliable to prevent download issues.
- Find the right update by entering your vehicle's VIN or the navigation system type you identified. This is important to avoid downloading the wrong update.
- Click on the download link for the correct update. Follow the instructions provided on the website to download the software without any problems.
- After downloading, if available, check the file's integrity using a checksum provided on the website. This makes sure the file isn't damaged and will update your navigation system correctly.
Transfer Update to USB
Download the update and transfer it to a USB drive for your Hyundai installation.
First, check if your USB drive is in FAT32 or exFAT format, needed for the update. Connect the USB to your computer. If it needs formatting, right-click the drive in file explorer, select 'Format', and choose the right format.
Find the downloaded update on your computer, usually a ZIP file. Right-click and select 'Extract All' to unzip it. You'll see the update files.
Open the USB drive folder in another window. Move the extracted update files into the USB's main folder, not inside any subfolders, as your Hyundai may not find the update otherwise.
Once transferred, safely remove the USB drive from your computer. Now, you're prepared to proceed without immediately starting the update installation.
Install the Update
Prepare your USB drive with the update files and follow these steps to update your Hyundai's navigation system:
- Insert the USB Drive: Turn on your Hyundai and make sure it's parked. Locate the USB port, typically found in the center console, and plug in the USB drive with the update files. Your system should automatically detect the drive and prompt you to start the update.
- Follow Instructions on Screen: After the system finds the update files, it will show instructions on the navigation screen. Follow these steps carefully to install the update. This might take a while, so be patient.
- Keep Engine Running: During the update, keep your car's engine running. This prevents the navigation system from turning off during the update, avoiding any interruptions or errors.
Verify Update Success
To check if your Hyundai's navigation system update worked, look at the system's version number in the settings. Go to “System Info” or “About” in the menu to find the version number. It should be the same as or higher than the version you tried to install.
If the version numbers match, the update was successful, and your navigation system has the latest updates. If they don't match, the update might've failed. First, restart your Hyundai's infotainment system. If that doesn't work, try updating again, making sure you have a stable connection and enough battery.
