Wouldn't it make sense to allow you to download a update to the system like this and perform it at home? I assume that it is just on a CD or DVD and you use the built in disc reader to perform the update.

I'd think so. When I talked to the manufacturer of the software, he stated that if another update was released it would be via a TSB campaign like they currently have now for the current release. He stated that is just how it is done. One thing that irked me was that he stated that it would be up to Hyundai if they wanted to release an update, so even if one is available we might not get it. And since he also stated that one of the issues I still have has been corrected, I'm really hoping Hyundai steps up and releases this new update.

There is a TSB # 08-01-013 for the Nav System. I took my ’09 Sonata in today for the software upgrade to SW Version V_A3_3. The initial “Caution” screen was blank. The side and bottom icons on the map were missing and menus were grayed out and unusable. The map, streets and current location were ok.
 
The upgrade fixed the Nav System. The keyboard will stay in QWERTY mode now even when the car is turned off.
 
The random in iPod and USB works better and stays on now when I go to the map function, but not if I switch to another mode or turn the car off.
 
The TSB Subject is “NAVIGATION REPROGRAMMING – CAMPAIGN T59” with this description: “Select 2009 Sonata Vehicles are equipped with in-car navigation as part of the audio system. Some navigation systems may experience lock up while in map display mode or the navigation icons may be incomplete/missing from the display screen. This bulletin describes the procedure to reprogram the navigation software to repair these conditions.” Vehicles affected: 2009 Sonata vehicles produced from start of production to August 11, 2008.
 
And yes, A DVD is used in the procedure.

Right, that is the upgrade I got. Although I received the same update that you did, the QWERTY issue is still there for me. I never had the issue of the Caution screen being blank or the icons and menus being messed up.
 
The update also fixed the Random issue for me. According to the software developer, the Random function is not supposed to stay on when turning off the car or switching modes (except for the Map). He compared it to being similar to the Random function on a CD player. When turning a CD player off and on you need to turn the Random function back on.

Hi, just purchased 2 Limited models for my wife and myself. I don't remember seeing any DVD's in the owners kit, did anyone get any when you purchased the car?

You won't get one. The map software is updated via a DVD that you need to purchase. The update is not out yet and will not be until January. As for the software updates, the dealer is the one who receives the update DVD whenver they put out a TSB campaign for the software update.
 
Check your software version (Setup --> Main). If you do not have v_A3_3, then go into your dealer and request the Navigation System Update.

Another Bug... by themerg

Found another bug today. I had gone into my addressbook on a previous day and set one of my lists to display via Alphabet as opposed to via Date. When I went into the addressbook today, the list was in order by Alphabet, but the selector at the bottom indicated that the list was in order by Date. Clicking on Date reordered the list by Date. Obviously, when I went into the addressbook today, the indicator should have been on Alphabet. It appears this issue represents itself whenever the vehicle is turned off and back on.

My Navi by bmwconvt

My navi has been messed up since I purchased the car this summer. My dealer still has no advice as to what to do other than it has to be replaced and there is probably a "national' backorder. Still no anwser as of yesterday. I'm happy to see there is a TSB, but wonder why my dealer's service folks haven't a clue about it...

Check out your software version. If you have v_A3, then you need the TSB. You should have v_A3_3. That is the version the TSB updates you to. I believe it is TSB Campaign 59. Just go into your dealer and ask for it. Apparently that TSB fixed a lot of issues people were having.

Thanks - the car is at the dealer right now getting the new software! I'm crossing my fingers...
