Usually twice a year Kia and Hyundai will put out a software update for the navigation and media units in select vehicles. In today’s video, Gabi shows you just how easy it is to complete a software update yourself! 
Please note the process is the same for both Kia and Hyundai. Links for each website are down below !
Have a happy Friday!

You know her numbers are crazy high.
Software won't install. Says it's already installed, but it never installed! Never installed on the hard drive, so there isn't anything to move to the USB drive. So I can't update 2018 Kia Niro Touring Hybrid. Open to suggestions please
USB to update ?! Are you aware of OTA Updated?
What a pain in the fucking ass! I’m on attempt number 5 of downloading. I follow every step exactly the way it asks, and it will not work. I wonder what people in their 60s and 70s that can’t use a computer do. For Christ sake, all I want to do is drive this piece of shit, but all it does is chimes ever 2 seconds about non existent slippery and rough roads.
She has what looks like a bugger on the side of her nose?? Like picking your nose and not noticing you left some behind. It's really kinda grossing people out. Can she not see that is what it looks like to people? Why would anybody do such a thing? Disgusting to one's appearance, for sure!
Ok, but one thing you neglected to mention is when you “finish” the update & your radio restarts, are you supposed to take the usb flash drive out or leave it in? Because that happened to me & when the update was supposedly done & my radio turned off and then back on, I got a “restoring data” message & then after a bit my radio went off again & the process repeated, the update I mean. So that I need clarification on. Thank you.
I cant focus in what she say
Can we plug in an external HD (with the updates) into the EV? Or must we use a thumb USB?
Hey Gabi, why it doesn't show the PICANTO model in the list?
Interesting thing. My Kia has 2021 Fireware and on a web page, it is written that the available update is for November 2022. And i would agree to update it to November version, since in 2021 there are Ye Old names of streets and my home cannot be found. I assume in 2022 version there should be a new UI, but my KIA does not want to update. Says that there is no available update. That is weird.
Another great video, this is now my favorite Kia channel, liked, and subscribed. Keep up the good work!
– will it continue updating if you plug in the wall charger?
– doing this myself will not void any KIA warranty?
– the update for fixing the Meridian sound system and other fixes, are those included in these updates or are they seperate files?
Hey gabi just a question my car kia sorento 2021 ME when i insert the flash drive it says files not supported and my other car kia sorento 2019 American it doesn't have a sd card slot i have tried doing it with the usb it doesnt work what to do?
We have a Hyundai ELANTRA hybrid 2023 and we have tried multiple times using different ExFat flash drives to follow all the steps in Hyundai’s website. We do not know if the files are just supposed to go onto a flash drive by themselves, which is what the software does, automatically, or, if the files need to go into some sort of folder on the flash drive. But either way, it seems that nothing we do allows us to perform the update.
.
Can anyone give us a phone number or email address where we can get some assistance?
Why doesn't it update automatically wirelessly when i have the newest kia?
Hello Gabi, I'm so glad that I across your video's, they're not only well made but very educational too. I wanted to ask you if there are available software updates for the older model Kia's. I have a 2015 Kia Soul Plus and I didn't notice any updates for it on the website you shared. any help with this would be much appreciated.
PS: keep up the great work on these videos
How does this update work with hybrids?
I dont see you start the car first because you say update when the car is turned off
Hello, not available for Latin America right?
Hey Gabi, great job on the videos. Question, I just bought the K5 GT 2023 model. Looks like the last update was in October. Can I safely assume a car bought in March was delivered with the October update? Regardless, when I searched for my model, it only listed the K5, no mention of the GT model specifically. Does that mean the software updates apply to the K5 in all trims? Thanks much!
All I can say is she’s gorgeous
