How To: Headunit firmware & GPS navigation maps update

I vaguely recall someone else had a problem updating and got stuck at the Hyundai logo.......unfortunately like a lot of people on here they just posted their problem and never updated what the cause was?!

I'm going with user error (sorry).

I'll try and find the relevant posts.......

Edit: Here THREAD LINKY

@EricCartman was the one with the problem but we heard nothing about resolving it.

I found something interesting in a German forum. It seems Hyundai is about provide official updates for firmware and maps to their customers via an own Web portal:

That's really interesting as the USA have been able to do that for ages, I always wondered why we had to take it to a main dealer or unofficially via the Boliden forum.

Would this work for the non-Performance model?
I know there are some differences in the n-mode GUI.

It will work fine. Just remember to follow all the steps and you must format the SD card before copying either the software or the maps to it. And leave the engine running while doing it.
Brief walkthrough from my post #17

No, the firmware runs on its own, remove the SD card, back it up, format it as fat32, copy the extracted software files into it, put engine on, insert SD and run update, takes about fifteen mins, when done, reformat SD card and then copy latest mobis map into it having extracted the files from the rar first, insert into car, then you're all set.

Thank you, the problem is my car has no Navi and no SD card slot, at least not in the same place as the cars with Navi.
 
The latest software is v112, so quite a step up.
Let us know if it works.
Didn't work, the error message was different from not having a usb key inserted but it still was asking for the correct files to update.
Now i'm trying to open the cover behind the screen, facing the windshield, any idea of what's in there?

There's a thread in the ice forum that explains how to remove the radio
