#131 of 134 New Navigation System by themerg Oct 02, 2009 (3:54 pm)
Well, I just talked to an engineer with Hyundai Mobis, the company that develops the software for the Hyundai Navigation system. I was told that the system in the 2009 Sonata and the system in the 2010 Sonata (includes XM Traffic and Bluetooth) is not being made anymore. Instead, they are working on a brand new system for the 2011 Sonata. I also found out that none of these systems are interoperable. Even though the Nav system in 2010 looks identical to the 2009, you can't swap them out.   What does all this mean, it appears that software updates will be very few and far between for the 2009 and 2010 Nav models. Unless something really isn't working, it's not going to be worth it to Hyundai to request a bug fix. Although, you would hope that they wouldn't want t alienate all their current users for when the time comes for them to purchase another vehicle.   - Merg Replies to this message: nstuff (Oct 02, 2009 4:24 pm) themerg (Oct 02, 2009 4:33 pm)

Replying to: themerg (Oct 02, 2009 3:54 pm) huh, i had always known the unit in the 2009 was technically capable to do xm-traffic, but it was either not enabled or just not developed for whatever reason. I didn't know about the bluetooth.   Also, very odd that the 2010 is a different unit than what is in the 2009. I've been meaning to stop by a dealership just to take a look to see what pops up in the version info screen in a 2010 to see how it compares. A friend just bought a used 2009 sonata with navi. The microphone functionality was broken and they figured out it was the actual navi unit that was the problem. However they told him it was backordered and it would be at least a month for the replacement to come in. Luckily i haven't had any issues with mine.   Map&Soft just simply sends their updated map database to Hyundai Autonet and Autonet builds an update dvd with the latest firmware + the map update and sends it back to Map&Soft to sell. I guess we'll see if they have anything worth the $200 price when they eventually release the next update. If they hold to their promise of annual updates, it should be coming in 3 or so months.

#134 of 134 Noise when volume is down to 0 by cbrf4rider Oct 05, 2009 (5:52 am)
I just purchased 09 v6 sonata limited with nav. It has the latest version of the map and software. Do you guys here a noise when you have the volume all the way down to zero? I had my car in my garage and turned the key so only the nav will come on, and I hear a white noise in the back ground (not so loud). When I turn the nav off, the noise goes away. Is this expected?   BTW, my nav system locked up on me a couple of times already and it rebooted itself several times...
