For those of you who are on the Linux operating system, you can download the Kia updater in a Windows (or macOS) virtual machine. My Windows virtual machine (VirtualBox) wouldn't recognize my USB device for some reason so I created a shared folder in the VM between the Windows VM and the Linux host and downloaded the Kia Update to that folder. Once it was download, I manually copied the update files to the USB drive from the Linux host which worked fine. No problem whatsoever. I did not try to run the Kia Updator using WINE so I don't know if that would work or not but you could give it a try. The author of this video is NOT lying about the length of time it takes to perform this update in the car. For me it took two hours or so for a 2021 Kia K5 GT Line!!! Good luck!

Thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough and insightful video. I like some of the features you demonstrated and I appreciated your before and after screens. Updating the map feature would be the most valuable but I tend to use Google Maps on my iphone since it is quicker and slightly more responsive. I don't like the look of the radio display. I liked the retro look and the design that replaced it is average if not boring. If Tesla can update your car software while you sleep, Kia could have designed a simpler way to download updates without going through all of the steps you listed. Since I don't see enough positives, I am NOT going to download the upgrade.

I’m glad my video was helpful to make your decision, I agree with you, sometimes we update thinking it would be a positive update, however sometimes the updates remove features that we like and that is a big problem because you cannot go back to the previous version.

It seems I have the most updated software in my K5. Do you have any lag problem when using Google maps or Waze through Apple?

[@NumberDZ]

So far I have not had any problems

[@isaacawana979]

@ I have major lag & delay problem when I’m using google maps. I tend to notice when I have to many apps open it delays my whole apple car play system

@@isaacawana979 it´s so annoying. My other car, a 2017 Explorer, doesn´t present any lag, delay, or anything! How could this new multimedia works so poor?

[@checkmate9111]

Great job !! Will not upgrade - love the old radio bulbs. New radio looks sooo boring.

[@NumberDZ]

Fair enough! Thanks for watching.

[@احمدالسندالي]

Do you have any thought about why active sound design don’t work on Kia K5.

[@anthonythompson4718]

Thanks for this video I’m glad u were honest about the update.. I chose not to do the update the original format is different from everything else especially the radio..

[@NumberDZ]

Glad I could help

[@SheenaHuff]

If I have a regular K5 should I upgrade mine? this talks about navigation I don't have navigation on mine. I don't want to take a risk and mess it up. thank you

[@rachels4515]

So any car before 2017 you can't update. I went to the maps manufacture for my 2015 Kia forte, purchased the new SD card and it still didn't work. They told me to talk to the dealership. Dealership says talk to manufacture. Round and round. So irritating

[@Mrgamer7281]

I have a 2023 K5 and my user interface doesn’t have all that purple in it. I’ve tried updating as shown and I just can’t get it to work. It doesn’t even recognize that a USB is plugged in. I don’t have built in navigation, though. So are these new updates just for navigation and I have no software updates to worry about? But I’m surprised my user interface doesn’t look like every other low vehicle 2023 Kia K5 EX AWD in Canada

[@icksTeevee]

when can we finally choose the themecolor. why are we forced with purple Thanks for the video!

You’re welcome.

[@NumberDZ]

Not in this model, the model that has the smaller screen does have wireless car play.

[@kellec.8357]

Wow! What a thorough and very , very, very helpful video! I wish I would have watched your video FIRST before running to the store to buy a bigger flash drive. By the time I got to the end of your video and saw what the upgrade does to the radio graphics, I decided against it. I have a 2022 White K5 also.

[@NumberDZ]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ASMRSTARR1]

How to I update it to look like your screen layout? That's what I'm trying to get too. I'm following the steps but my screen doesn't even look like yours does beforehan. I have a 2022 Kia K5 LXS.

[@ASMRSTARR1]

mine doesn't have the map/navigation button on the trim. is this not available for my model?

Apple play comes in the same package so everything gets updated.

Would this work on a 2021 kia k5 ex? My screen is smaller and would love the interface alone tho I dont care for the rest just want a better look if possible lol

[@NumberDZ]

It should work as long as you have an update available.

[@adityagandhiakg]

Has anyone observed navigation not working issue on older software?

[@NumberDZ]

I didn't have any problems with it.

My 2022 k5 has wireless car play. Interesting. Maybe I shouldn’t update

Do you have the same GT line or other trim?
