Replying to: earbuckle (Sep 24, 2008 8:08 pm) My Hyundai dealer called me today and scheduled me for a navigation software update this weekend out of the blue. Currently I don't have any issues with the system, even have an 8gb thumb drive attached as a jukebox. When I asked what was the update about they weren't entirely sure. It ranged from update to new maps and POIs so I don't know. But obviously Hyundai came down on them to get this done....   Just chiming in...

Replying to: earbuckle (Sep 24, 2008 8:08 pm) Nav's are on national backorder. It takes 4 to 9 weeks to get one. I guess this update fixes the problems. There were a bunch of problems on the Sonata nav system. Hopefully the new disc will fix those problems and then some.

#9 of 134 NAV System Software Upgrade and Issues by themerg Sep 26, 2008 (12:31 am)
Well, I took my Sonata in and they performed an upgrade on the software. I now have software v A3_3. I initially had v A_3. I was told that I need to contact Hyundai to find out who to order the map upgrades from.   As for the fixes, well they kinda worked. The Random function now stays on when selecting another song via the steering wheel control or the track up/down button on the Nav unit. It will not stay on if you switch to another mode (AM/FM/XM) except for the Map function. It also will not remember that you had Random selected when you turn off the car and then turn it back on. If you select Random, that option should never turn off unless you specifically turn it off or you disconnect the iPod.   Also, the QWERTY keyboard issue is still not resolved. If I set my keyboard to QWERTY as opposed to Alphabet, it works fine until I turn off the car. When I turn the car back on, the Main Settings screen shows that I have QWERTY selected, but if I go to a screen that requires text entry, the keyboard is displayed in Alphabet mode. I need to go back to Setup, click on QWERTY again and then select done for the QWERTY keyboard to work. Can someone else confirm this on their Nav Unit? If not, I guess there's something wrong with mine then.   I have also been having a problem with my iPod not shutting off when the car is turned off. It runs down the battery completely then and when I turn on the car it then always starts with the first song on my iPod. Has anyone else had this issue?   - Merg

Here's some information I found out today...   The mapping software for the Sonata Navigation System is by M&SOFT (888-757-0010). There will not be an update till sometime in January and it will run around $200, but there should be a $100 rebate.   The software for the Navigation System is done by Hyundai Autonet America (877-648-7577). I spoke with Charles who stated that they are aware of the keyboard issue and that it should probably be in the next update, although it is present in releases for new models. He also stated that the Random functionality is working as designed in that whenever you pick a new function or turn on/off the car, the Random selection needs to be reselected.   He stated that he was going to look into the iPod shutdown issue to make sure they do not need to update something in their software.   On a side note, he did mention to me that future versions of the software will have traffic and bluetooth built-in. He stated that it will most likely be installed in new model releases, but could not rule out one way or the other if the update would be available to 2009 Sonata users.   - Merg

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.

Replying to: peridoc (Sep 29, 2008 5:04 am) 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.   - Merg Replies to this message: grumpaj (Sep 30, 2008 7:32 pm) themerg (Oct 01, 2008 3:29 am) starchief5 (Oct 10, 2008 9:45 am) themerg (Oct 10, 2008 8:05 pm) zenobia (Dec 12, 2008 5:12 pm)

Replying to: themerg (Sep 29, 2008 9:10 am) 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.

Replying to: grumpaj (Sep 30, 2008 7:32 pm) 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.   - Merg
#15 of 134 Sonata Nav Software? by sallan Oct 01, 2008 (7:16 am)
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? Replies to this message: themerg (Oct 01, 2008 7:19 am)
