How To: Update Kia Display Audio Software | 2022 Update

[@victorianovidalrecruiter]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video; I updated my 2021 Seltos without any glitches.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thanks for watching!

[@malikb3889]

Is the audio update different from the nav update or does the nav update include the audio update?

[@knightsofni1999]

Thanks for this video. I followed the instructions and it seemed to work out perfectly. After installation, I did need to delete my original profile and set up Apple CarPlay again. Once I set up the profile again, everything seems to work OK so far. I did notice on the new version of the software. The icons on screen seem to be about 50% larger. Not sure if this was meant to look this way, but it’s not really a problem. Thanks again for your assistance.

[@khorn85]

Everytime I plug the usb into my car it says there are no media files. I have a 2020 Sportage. I'm not sure which file I should be leaving zipped?

[@lmno4515]

Does the 2024 Kia Sportage do the software update on its own or do I have to do it manually?

[@richie388]

I’ve followed the exact steps on the website for my 2022 seltos. I keep getting a files not supported when I put the usb in

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I had the same issue on a Palisade I tried to do the update with. I am not sure what the exact issue is but I will reach out to support to see if they can explain it.

[@oscarespinosadiaz]

[@malinowskidrums]

i get the exact same problem. Says there's no Files when I plug in USB. But there's nothing else on the USB drive, its FAT32 format..very frustrating

What about the Soren to 2016/2017??

[@gak0090]

Great tutorial, but I have a couple things to add. I realize this tutorial is from a couple years ago- so this might be the cause of some of my issues. To start I have a 2020 Telluride EX purchased when they just hit the lots. I had NEVER updated the Nav/Radio until now- so basically I had like the original firmware. I used a USB 3.1 and creating the USB stick is pretty straight forward, just takes a little time because it's like a 36GB file to download then copy to the stick. I insert the stick, start the car- everything is good- but it takes like and hour at least. So my car is running in the driveway for like an hour. I go out there thinking it's all done and when it rebooted, it started the process all over again. So being pissed, I turned off the car and removed the stick. I started the car and it seemed like it updated, but when I went to check navigation, it said it was corrupted- and it needed reinstalled. So I started over- but this time I wanted to see if the update would install if I started it while the car was on, then turned off the car. Well it does- not sure why no one ever mentions that the car does not need to be running after the update is initiated. Periodically I went back to the car to turn it on and check on the progress of the installation. When the install was on step 4 of 5 I waited this time in the car, it rebooted, said restoring data at one point (which I thought meant it might have failed- but that wasn't the case), then the screen came up to enter the profiles- at that point I removed the USB, and then everything worked correctly. From this experience I learned it takes way longer than 30 minutes if you're starting with a very old firmware, also at least on the Kia's, don't be surprised if it reboots and goes through the process again. And the most important (and this is in my case- not sure all vehicles will respond the same, so continue at your own risk)- once you get the process started with the car on, just turn the car off and leave it, come back every 15 min or so to check on progress.

Display Audio Updates are different than the Navigation updates which is what you seem to be describing. These updates are much smaller than the Navigation updates and take a little less time. Thanks for the comment though!

[@gak0090]

@@CarsMadeSimple Yup it was a navigation/display update

[@CarsMadeSimple]

@@gak0090 Navigation and Display Audio updates are different. I have videos for each here on the channel. The process in car is the same but the file along with the download process is quite different.

[@JabeRaddle]

Does the extracted file have to be the only file on the USB or will the car be able to locate the file it needs?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

It needs to be formatted correctly for the update and the only files on the USB.

[@gurnanis]

Hey great info thanks - do you have any info for updates on Kia models internationally? I saw a report mentioning that wireless CarPlay was being added to all 2022-2023 models of Kia even with larger screens whereby earlier was only wired CarPlay.. do pls share any info you get on this. Thanks

[@CarsMadeSimple]

So far Hyundai and Kia are only rolling out wireless to unit with navigation for the latest generation ccNC. These are only found on a select few vehicles at this time.

[@gurnanis]

Yes you should be able to use the navigation updater tool to update your system.

[@KeeblurD]

I don't think the 2021 Kia Forte GT has the ability to be updated. The GT2 package came with non-navigation. After downloading and extracting the audio update only, you get 2 zip files. Dropping those 2 zips onto Fat32 GB stick, the stereo does not recognize the files.

[@KeeblurD]

@@johnc3822 nope I gave up. It may not.even be possible. I now run a Carlinkit 5.0 to turn the android auto into wireless android auto now.

[@chintugaurav001]

Cam you make a video on what are the new things added in this update and show them working?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

No additional features are added for the Display Audio updates. Sometimes they change the icons and appearance but functionally they just fix bugs and software communication issues.

Out no where this after noon, the volume won’t work on the knob or steering wheel and I can’t turn it off, would this help? 2019 Kia optima FE

You can always try to update the display audio. You can also try to reset the system using the little pin slot. Most vehicles have a pin hole for a soft reset.

[@amadejglasencnik425]

Is the new purple-ish UI only available on cars with navigation? Because I have seen some cars with that update, but they all have navigation. I have a 2022 KIA Stonic without navigation.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Yes, that's correct.

[@amadejglasencnik425]

@@CarsMadeSimple Thanks for the answer...

[@tredbailey]

Is the display audio software update included in the navigation updater file?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

No, it is a separate download directly from the website. You will not use the updater tool at all.

[@olmec2012]

What are the added benefits from the update .

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Typically they will fix any connectivity issues with the server (if your vehicle is app compatible), fix any issues with bluetooth connectivity, and other small UI updates as well. It depends vehicle to vehicle typically what exactly the updates do.

Will this work on a 2019 Kia Soul?

it appears to be the same page just switching region from the menu on the top right. When Europe is selected, only navigation SW shows up

@@robertlehotzky6651 hello, were you able to find update files for EU? Or maybe you contacted your dealer and asked if they are performing updates for non-navi units by their selves? Unfortunately in my country dealers don't know anything about any update for non-navi radios.

[@robertlehotzky6651]

@ hi Krzysztof, i was not searching anything apart from official website. Im afraid of loosing warranty on my car so im not risking update from some shady 3rd party…so i will wait for my next mandatory service check and ask them whats the deal with it.

@@robertlehotzky6651 Hi, thank you very much for reply. I understand you, I thought the same, but I lost my trust in any public release of this software for EU. In US and Canada units without navigation were updated frequently and you can see that on the website that once-twice a year Kia released update. When I was checking EU site I didn't saw anything for our systems. I think that it is a shame, because besides new features (which I hope that will come), there are also bugs which should be corrected. My dealer tells me that I should just use this radio with Carplay/Android Auto and be happy because this is the only thing that this units were desired (perfect approach). Just for the record, can you confirm if in your car you have a bug that when you will stop reversing the car and camera will shut off, then whole screen of the radio will shut down? I got this bug in my Kia Ceed MY21 and really annoys me.

[@xxlittleuxx]

I have a 2019 base Kia stinger and both updates won’t work for me…any tips?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

According to the Kia update website, there are no available updates to Stingers without built in Navigation. If you have a base model, then you would have the 7" screen without navigation so this makes sense.If you have the 8" screen with navigation, then make sure the steps are being followed correctly and the SD card is being formatted correctly.
