How To: Headunit firmware & GPS navigation maps update

I've just updated the unit. I would like to know where to find these speed limit notification improvements, as I didn't have this feature before the update. Is this something region-limited?
 
Today I tried to update the software but I had weird info on screen after inserting the card - no auto update at all like last time.
So nothing to worry - i went to system settings and try manual update buttom. Again - weird info.
I saw - your entertaiment software is the same like on the card.....or something like that.
Went home again - uninstalled navigation updater, downloaded and installed latest updater and downloaded software again.
In the car......the same info. But this time I pressed update and say yes to update anyway the same software.
Result - I updated to newest soft (did photo of the versions and compared them to www site list).
That was really weird.

I got this one - the ‘new mini model’

I assume these have to go in the 'computer' USB port, or can they operate through a splitter in the charger port?
I'm looking for a way to play music from a USB card while also attaching a phone for Android Auto.
I guess this isn't possible and wish there were two intelligent USB ports.

Can't be done I'm afraid. I use a wireless android auto dongle so I don't need to physically connect my phone and then use Spotify for my music, you can then use voice commands to play whatever you want.

Hi all
Anyone tried this on a pre facelift yet? I want a new update but dont fancy the speed reminders. I live in bl**dy wales and we have 20mph everywhere so it would get annoying very quickly!
 
I did it on my PFL yesterday. It's just a map update. Absolutely no change to the software. Just write the SD card with the new data and plug in. There's no update to be done.

I only know with regard to the i20N - in the case of that car there is a USB to the left of the 12V power point - that USB has power and signal. These devices will not work in the charge port as they have to be able to pass signal. The USB on the right only has power. The device I linked to only works for Apple but there are others for Android and some will even do both.

Does anyone know the source data for the mapping?

I’m starting to notice quite a few mapping errors…a local residential road identify itself as a major A road dual carriageway and bizarrely - a well know location in Bristol - the filming location of the home of the ‘Young Ones‘ marked on the map (no idea why?) in completely wrong part of town and actually the regional DVLA office…

Selfishly not an issue for me as I use Waze, but got ask what have Hyundai been doing in prepping and issuing the update…
 
Have left the car parked up for just over a week - holiday - unlocked the car, started the engine without any hesitation or anything untoward, glanced down and noticed the time was wrong on the headunit.

Turns out - somehow - whilst it’s been laid up the headunit has performed a complete factory reset by itself as I’ve lost all previous destinations, it’s reverted to KM not miles, I’ve lost all Dab favorites bluetooth the whole lot…

Thoughts on what’s prompted this?

Hmm… no, afraid not. Even when I left my car for a month and came back to a flat battery it didn’t do any kind of a reset when the RÁC jumped the battery. I’ve also disconnected the battery a number of times without issue and done a bunch of sat/nav updates.

That’s what’s confused me - it’s a 10month old battery and showing no signs of weakness or age, and like you I’ve disconnected the battery without any loss of personal data or settings… it’s just an odd one!

I’ve been thinking about this a bit and I really don’t think it’s a battery related problem. So then the question is ‘so what did cause it?’. I guess the car could have been hit by lightning or even a nearby electrical storm - but both seem unlikely. A small spider or insect breaching contacts - again unlikely. A dry solder joint making intermittent contact seems the most likely and not an uncommon issue with all electronic components now that lead is no longer allowed in flow soldering.
