Kia Niro EV Software Update
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 06. 2020
- You can easily update the Kia Niro EV touchscreen software in Canada and the US! It is easy to get the latest user interface, map software, and firmware updates. Just follow the steps in this video.
My 2019 Niro EV had the original head-unit software from April 2019, and I wanted to get the latest version for a refreshed interface and better performance. Fortunately, Kia’s map software Web site was updated with a new policy that makes the software 30$CDN + shipping instead of the old 250$US price! Even better, if you own a 2020 Kia in Canada, then it is free to download!
* UPDATE 1: There is a new site for getting the updates for free, update.kia.com and update.hyundai.com. Please see my channel Community post: • Post
* UPDATE 2: I missed an option when making this video. You can display your vehicle speed on the touchscreen when in map/navigation mode. Go to Navigation, Settings, Information and check the box to display vehicle speed.
Thanks to Richard Wood for pointing that out!

So i have some cool news. The updates can be downloaded for free from update.kia.com/US/EN/Main starting in July per MNsoft help center. As a note i am in the USA. Email from MNsoft below.
"Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry. I will be more than happy to assist you.
The free map updates for your vehicle will be available in July for Version 14.5 at this website....
update.kia.com/US/EN/Main
There has been a delay on finishing the new download program due to recent events. That is the reason why if you want to update for Version 14 you will need to purchase the SD card for $25.00 plus shipping and handling. I am very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you again for reaching out to us! We appreciate your patience on the release of the new download program."
Thank you very much! I have been wondering if that site would ever go live. I will spread the word. Thanks again.
@@EV-olution Just saw your video great news, if you live in Korea, USA or Canada I live in Ireland and as usual we are not on the menu choice
Actually, if you look here: update.kia.com/US/EN/navigaionUpdate it looks like it will be a worldwide site. Let's see what happens in July. 🙂
@@EV-olution Thanks for the heads up
This makes more sense that shipping an SD card. Progress. :)
You have, without a doubt, the most useful (and entertaining) E-Niro channel on CZcams. Congrats!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
When I plugin my phone I get a similar map that you showed streaming to the screen of my Kia Niro. I will check if my vehicle even has the SD card in the car, definitely something I didn't notice until watching this video. Thank you.
When you plug in your phone you are using Android Auto, or Apple CarPlay. I use Android Auto all of the time, but the in car nav system is pretty good now thanks to the update. It is important to note that if you have lots of construction and changes in your area, like here in the Montréal area, then Google Navigate/Google Maps and Waze are far superior because they account for these changes, almost in real time. Glad I could help 🙂
Thank you for making this video. I have been trying to update my Niro for so long.
You are very welcome and I am glad I could help. The newer update website make this completely free when you use update.kia.com 😎
i am your fan!!!!!!! and thank you for your unique way in explaining, sharing and teaching! aw4esome... many thumbs up
Thank you, and you are welcome, but be sure to watch the updated version, there is a new way to update for free: czcams.com/video/DuB6kdvNT1k/video.html
I subscribed last week and told everybody I know. So I get all the credit.😜😜, I am kidding of course. I did tell everybody I know about your channel but all of the credit is yours my brother. You put out good content...... plus, I don’t no very many people haha
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it. Making videos takes lots of time and effort and it is all worth it knowing that people like what I make. All I want to do is help people and get them driving electric 🙂 Thanks for spreading the word!
EV-olution absolutely my friend. I feel the same way as you do and you are doing something about it so I applaud you, kudos,I have been driving a model three for a year When it was time to replace my 20-year-old Toyota Avalon (actually a 2005). And since owning the Tesla all future cars have to be electric And the Niro is pretty rare around where I am.The Kia is quite big when you’re inside as I am 6’6 340.well thanks again.Most of my driving is freeway between 70 and 80 not using the regen of course when you’re on the freeway except maybe a little bit. Still Gets the 240 miles When on the same route our model three does about 190 miles when rated 240.That and customer service are off otherwise Tesla is running away with it
I didn't know about this update. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure and thanks for watching.
Hey Andre: This is helpful I have ordered my map (did the postal method) and its nice to know what to expect when I do my update for my Niro PHEV. I think the main difference is that my memory card is a Compact Flash one and not an SD card. As always your videos are very help full. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching and thank you. It is interesting that your PHEV uses Compact Flash! That is very old tech. What year is your Niro?
@@EV-olution Believe it or not its a 2019.
😯😯😯😯
Bonjour ! je vous regarde de France et j'aime bien vos vidéos. Voila ! ;)
Merci pour le commentaire et j'apprécie que vous suivez ma chaîne. N'hésitez pas à me poser des questions lorsque vous en avez.
Merci pour la vidéo. J'allais écrire ce message en anglais quand... Tu t'es mis à parler en français. Bonjour de France et bonne continuation pour tes vidéos
Ça me fait plaisir et merci pour votre temps d'écoute, c'est très apprécié! 🙂
lots of good improvements. music play progress bar on the new update changed to "phase out" bar instead of straight bar. POI is a huge improvement over previous release including the distance bar and aside from speed limit it now shows speed of your car. 3D and overall color presentation is much to my liking. For HK system, it seems to have "more" bass in lower volume. overall, I love the improvements. hope in next updates, I like the system to turn off when I turn off the engine instead of turning off when the door is open.
I agree with you 100% and I would also like to have an option to make the radio turn off when I power off the car instead of the door opening. It would be an easy option to add. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate your work
Thank you, I am glad I can help.
Hey keep up the great work😁
Thank you very much, will do 🙂
Thank you for the walk through! Yes, the free download update only applies to the 2020 cars in Canada, sadly not the USA. Maybe they will change this soon, seems little unfair.
Kia really needs to get their stuff together and homogenize things in North America. They should make the US and Canadian trims the same, with the top trim made like here in Canada, with everything, and the lower trim like in the US, and they should make the updates free to download for older models not just for the 2020 model year. It would make things so much easier for everyone.
I mean I don't disagree but I'm pretty sure we pay more for our vehicles than the exchange rate would be anyways.
great video keep up the good work
Thank you very much! 🙂
Awesome. Finally Kia got the message. Why keep trying to sell only a few updates at $250 a pop when you can sell a "ton" of updates at $30 ! !
Exactly and even better, it seems that the updates will be free some time this month on the new Kia update Web site: update.kia.com. It is still not active for download yet.
I just downloaded it for free for my 2019 Niro
My E Nero4+ is a year old now and when I purchase it I was told 6 years of free mapping what the dealer didn’t say was they charged £45 to plug the USB stick into the vehicle to update the mapping, can you believe it they already charged £168 for the first service! and then wanted another £45? I rang Kia and a lovely young lady told me it’s all for free on the web, all I needed was a sizeable USB stick and follow the very clear online instructions. However you do need a lot of space on your hard drive to download the file onto before transferring to a USB stick 50 gigabytes. 🇬🇧
It is frustrating that dealers are misleading customers. As you mentioned the update.kia.com website allows you to update for free. I mention it in the description of the video I made about updating the nav computer, a video that was done before the free site went online.
Bonjour merci d avoir répondu rapidement c’est super je vous souhaite à vous et votre famille de très belle fête de fin d année prenez soin de vous
Merci et je vous retourne les mêmes souhaits.
Hi Andre, thank you for your videos. They're very informative. I have the base model Niro EV, will this software apply to that model?
Thank you! The update will apply to your car, but there will be some differences since your EX does not include some hardware that the SX Touring does. I am not sure what you will get, but if you have the old looking interface then you should get the new one, and probably the firmware updates as well. Verify your current version to see how old it is.
Having Gas Stations available in navigation could be good for many things: finding fuel for a gasoline and/or diesel generator, finding gas for a lawn mower (I have an electric mower), buying a gas gift card for a friend (I do this each Christmas for a friend of mine), getting gas for a friend's car that ran out, or wanting to meet another person at a nearby gas station of your choosing.
Good ideas and thanks for watching.
More likely would be a need to put air in the tyres or use the washroom or get drinks etc. Most EV charging places don’t have that sorted yet.
I did m'y update on m'y soul EV 2020 limited 3 week ago and i was surprised i gain 57km now full charge i have 511 km battery and before 454 km i dont understand but im happy 😁
Strange as it should not affect the GOM (Guess-O-Meter).
They might have changed something to do with how the motors are powered or changed AC settings (or something else) that affects how much power is used or maybe the averages have been reset.
It would be interesting to see what happens after a few weeks
The update is not for the vehicle management, it is only the navigation unit, including GPS, Modem and uCom. The GOM does use the navigation to calculate the estimate so that is most likely the reason for the change.
I think the range is evualuated with average history normaly store in the ev menu's so after the update the data of history may be deleted it's why i think your range has been increase like your car is brand new with no mileage done ,
That could explain it. Thank you.
Great video! Are you excited for all the new ev announcements coming this summer?
Thank you very much. Yes, I am looking forward to any new EV announcements. The VW ID4 will be interesting, if VW ever gets around to making and selling it. The ID3 was such a big media thing, but since it is only available in Europe it is a huge disappointment. The eGolf is a very popular EV here in Québec and the ID3 would have sold like hotcakes.
thanks for your videos :) i wach every new from France :) It’s your fault if i bought the same e-Niro :)
You are very welcome, thank you for watching. Je suis heureux de savoir que j'ai réussi à infecter une autre personne avec le virus e-Niro 😉. Je travail sur ma prochaine vidéo, ça devrait être terminé pour sortir vendredi prochain. I will probably make you spend more money 😃
The site is working now and I have successfully updated, it is an improvement overall and set aside aprox. 20 minutes for the update to complete
Yep, it came back online about 1.5 weeks ago, but the update is the same one that I got before the site went down so I think the change is only to the software that creates the update media.
In Europa you have 7 year map updates included. Updated (incl. firmware) by the next car service.
Thanks! I was just wondering what happens in the UK 👍
Thank you for letting me know. I am sure the questions will come soon. This video came out at 5AM here (3 hours ago), so there should be lots of questions as the day goes on. Thanks again and thanks for watching.
How do I get the update faster? I don't want to wait for the next service...
@@user10476 this Is What I want to know also I am from Spain.
@@user10476 for the moment, only 2020 Kia's get the download option. There are rumors that this is going to change very soon, but nothing has been confirmed by Kia. Right now, for the 2019 and older cars, the only way is to order the SD card.
Thank you very much for your videos. We have been debating a switch to full EV for some time and I think your videos might just have pushed us over the edge. We have a test drive of the e-Niro later this week.
Quick question: you said that you use Android Auto 100% of the time; why, and is that still the case following the update? Wondering whether Auto has better usability/features or you just prefer the design. I use Google maps for all my navigation currently and love it, but the bit you showed us here looked great - especially the view that tells you which lane to get into.
Second quick question, are software updates not delivered over the air via the car's cellular connection? I noticed the Update button on screen, but you said that 2020 owners need to download from the website and transfer the file across?
Finally, I hate to do this, but the dates in your subscriber scenes probably meant to say 2020 rather than 2019 :)
Good morning and thanks for the comment. Regarding the dates in the video... yes, I must have been really tired when I reviewed the edit the last few times and completely missed the errors 🙂... Oh well.
I am glad I could give the EV virus to another person 😉 I am sure you will love the e-Niro.
Regarding how the Niro updates, both the 2019 and 2020 can only be updated with the SD card (2019), or USB (2020) installation method. Even though the Niro has cellular connectivity it does not do over the air updates; I wish Kia had gone that route, but they did not.
As to why I use Android Auto instead of the built in nav system: Android Auto is far more precise because it incorporates construction closures and openings almost immediately. Right now, in Montréal, Québec, the temporary highway closures happen on a daily basis because of major infrastructure being built. If this was not the case then I would give the built in nav system more of a try because I also like the large lane indications; It is quite good, but Google Navigate/Maps and Waze are the best for my needs right now.
Thanks for watching!
@@EV-olution thank you!
My pleasure.
Great video André does it not give you the option to play videos on the main screen like in the ioniq?
Thank you very much! I was not aware that you can play videos on the screen in the Ioniq! How do you do it?
EV-olution you can try having a mp4 file on a USB key and inserting into the same port for Apple car play, see the following link webmanual.hyundai.com/STD_GEN5_WIDE/AVNT/AUS/English/playingusbvideo.html
Thank you. Unfortunately it seems that the 2019 Niro EV with 8" screen does not read MP4 files. I will ask someone I know with a 2020 to see if it works since he has the new 10.25" screen. It probably does. Thanks again.
Hi André, I came across a post on Facebook, it says Kia will make an announcement this July and will make the 2019 Niro EV map update available for free as well. Did you ear anything about it? Great video by the way, as always. Cheers.
Merci beaucoup! I have also read the rumors on Facebook. Kia has not officially posted anything so as far as things go right now they are just rumors.
EV-olution can you let us know somewhere on your social media channels? If it going to be free I am going to wait. So far I have been using Apple maps with CarPlay, but the new Kia version looks quite attractive...the old version sucks looking at the maps while driving.
Already posted on Facebook.
Hello Andre,
First thanks once again for making these great videos but for the owners of a Niro EV 2020 to get the free download you will need to have a 64g memory card to do it.
If ever you like to do a video for the 2020 Niro owners I could lend you my car and you could install it from my account. Of course only you in the video not me lol.
Merci bon travail
Eric
Bonjour Eric. Thank you and you are correct; the download you get for the 2020 needs to be put on an SD card. The Niro will only update via SD and the download you get is pretty much the same size as my 2019. I backed up the contents of the SD card and it was about 64GB. There is no real differences in the update method between the two model years other than the 2020 being able to download the files, the SD slot location in the car, and obviously the interface due to the 10.25" screen. I don't think I will be making a video about this again because it was very long to make due to the recording time and multiple recording sessions. It was the most time consuming video I have made since starting in June 2019. Merci pour l'offre. 🙂
@@EV-olution Hi, On the 2020 model you only need an 64 Gb USB key! Insert it in the main USB port (the one for Android Auto) and the unit will detect the update. I did the update under 25 minutes or so.
@@joelcyr4803 merci Joel!
@@EV-olution memory cards are dirt cheap.
@@RobbieFitzgerald yes, they are, but you still need to get the software update and for 2019 Kia models and older the update must be bought, as shown in my video.
Hi Andre, Thanks for all your efforts, I enjoy your vids. When you showed us the instruction book that came with your update I thought I could read all the models covered included my 2016 Kia Soul EV. I just recently installed the same update and now have some problems that I've reported to Kia. They have acknowledged it is a known problem and are working on an updated version they say will be shipped to all affected for free when available. I don't know if this update will affect your car the same as mine but wanted to let you and others know. When I select EV mode on the main display to see SOC and range it has displayed ZERO for both while at the same time on the dashboard display, the GOM still reports the range. I fixed it by ejecting and reinserting the sd card but then a couple days later it returned to zero on the head unit. Since there were several new features and displays included I'm not sure if there are any other issues involved in this known bug. I'm happy to report back here once the new update arrives. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, and thanks for the information. That is really important to know. My wife has a 2019 Soul EV and there were no issues because it pretty much uses the same screen and stuff behind it as my Niro EV. I will not this in the Soul EV Facebook groups I am part of. Thanks again.
@@EV-olution You're welcome, it would be interesting to know how many models/years this is affecting.
I just verified my 2019 Niro EV and no issues with that page.
I also verified my wife's 2019 Soul EV and no issues.
that's cool you can upgrade the firmware i have a 2019 nissan leaf
Yes, it's a nice feature. Even better is the new upgrade site now allows users to update for free with a download. You can see the site here: update.kia.com/CA/EN/Main
EV-olution nice yeah my leaf i think you have to see a dealer
Hi has the Nero 4 got a sd card way of the 2019 Nero as per your video thnx in adv.
Hello. I am not sure about the spec of the e-Niro version 4 and it depends on your country; in Canada the specs are different, but if yours is a UK spec 2019 and you have the 8" touchscreen with UVO navigation, then there should be an SD slot like in my video. If you have a 2020 then you have the 10.25" screen, there is no SD slot, and it would update via the central USB port.
EV-olution think you I am in uk love watching u on CZcams. Doing great.....
I suppose if I have the EX model and use the Apple CarPlay issue update benefit that much I’m assuming. Although the mobile app update would be helpful it does suck really bad. Definitely better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick though
I received a post on one of my Facebook shares where someone says they have an issue with CarPlay when they plug in their phone too quickly after staring the car. Andoid Auto does not do this. I am curious to know, I asked the other person, what version of iPhone and iOS do you have?
EV-olution I think my iPhone is an eight. It’s definitely kind of old and I’m not a real tech guy but I do notice sometimes when I plug it in at first it either takes it a couple seconds or I have to unplug and then replug but I also have a crappy cord. But to be honest that is something I noticed with Apple CarPlay it doesn’t always initiate with the first calling of its name so to speak. I got the EX model here in the states which is the cheaper one because I did not want to sunroof as I am 6 foot six and need all the headroom possible. Plus it’s 6K cheaper. A lot of options I do wish I had but I want to know sooner manual seats because they go back farther
I got a reply on Facebook and they are using the latest iPhone and have the crackling sound issue as well. This seems to be an iPhone issue regardless of version.
EV-olution Luckily I don’t have that problem. Sometimes it just takes 15 or 20 seconds instead of working right away but once it’s on it’s good
I had 3D buildings in 2015 30kWh Nissan Leaf :-)
The Nissan Leaf was the pioneer of EVs!
I *think* the 22 has a faster dc charging peak, which i assume is software. Any idea if there is a software update I can get for my 2020 niro ev to increase the fast charging?
Unfortunately no. FYI, this video is the old version of the update. I made a newer version more recently.
If I have a Niro EV EX (non premium, so no nav), is there a point to doing an update? Does the download do anything else besides nav? I usually just use Android Auto for navigation and music. I assume I'd be using a USB stick since there's no sd card slot.
The update provides the updated user interface, as shown in my video, as well as several new features, as shown in the video. If you have a 2020 then you will need a 32 or 64GB USB key and the update is done via the main USB port of the car. I am not sure about the details since I don't have the EX. Let me know what you find out.
I have a Niro EV 2022 and need to know can I set up a level 3 charger to my home? Are the drunks interchangeable?
DC Fast charging stations are not for home use and cost tens of thousands of dollars, plus the expensive electrical installation required. For home use all you need is a Level 2 240V charging station. DC Fast charging of generally only used when on a long road trip. As for ”drunks” being interchangeable, I don't know what you mean, sorry.
Your graphic at 0:54 indicated "June 12, 2019" when I think you meant "2020." I enjoyed this video, but I don't think it pertained to me. I have a 2019 Kia Niro EV EX. It has no SD card slot like the one shown on your car. Yours must be the Premium 2019 version. Regardless, since I will most likely use Apple Car Play for the functions you demonstrated, I don't think I need the card that you installed. Still, I'm thinking there must be a storage card slot somewhere on my dashboard and would like to know if it's accessible and what value that would be to me.
Thanks for your videos!
Thank you and thanks for catching the mistake. I had been over this video so many times in the 2 weeks it took me to piece it together that I completely missed the error. Regarding your EX, if there is no SD slot then there this update method is not applicable to you. I am curious and would love to see an EX again, just to dig around to see what I can see. Have you verified the software version in the menus of the touchscreen?
@@EV-olution I've got a non premium EX EV too and it may be updatable through the USB reader slot (same as the one I use to plug in for Android Auto). I'll have to find my USB flash drive with the needed capacity for the software download and try it at some point.
@@TheFruban let me know what you find out. Thanks.
Does Android Auto work? I have a Kia Niro hybrid, 2016. It doesn't on that. But if I go to my Kia dealer they should update the firmware for free, I think?
I have used Android Auto almost exclusively since getting my car early 2019. It works very well. The updates are currently not free, but there is a comment on this video where Kia indicates that the updates will be free as of July 2020 at the update.kia.com Web site which has been inactive since it opened in March 2020.
Is this SD Card sent from Kia Canada? My Kia dealership in Metro Vancouver has never received any info from Kia Canada regarding any updates for the Niro EV.
No, it is not from Kia. Kia, Hyundai and Genesis use a company called MN Soft for the nav software. The details are in my video.
Do you know if this is applicable to us across the pond in the uk ?
Not yet. I looked at the European Web site, but I don't see the map Web page in the owner section like we have here. I would love for someone in Europe to call Kia and ask if there is an equivalent map software Web page for Europeans.
the website says Map 14.5 is coming mid-Aug but still haven't seen anything
Correct. The Web site only came online for about 1 week then got shut back down. There were some people with issues so I think MN Soft is reworking the software. We will have to be patient a while longer. ☹
where is the video you promised about the wheels you bought from Fast for summer tires?
It"s in my mind, needs to be made, but my business has been keeping me really busy and it has been hard making videos. I will try to make it my next video.
@@EV-olution thanks...
Many thanks for video information...👍👍👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍🚘🚘🚘🔋🔋🔋🔋🔌🔌☇☇👍😃😃😉
My pleasure.
@@EV-olution Gracias a tí 👍👍🖐🖐 Greetings from Spain 👍Saludos 🖐🖐
I Have a 2020 Kia 64KV EV,I dont see much improvement in the 2021 Update,Colors are a bit Irritating,and the Navigation as well.I updated yesterday after many failed Try,s.maybe I will see Improvement by using,we shall see.
I hope the update goes well.
The website STILL won't allow for downloads. It's now August, 2020 and it's beginning to seem like a download option is just vaporware.
Unfortunately, as mentioned in the comments above, the Website went online, but after about 1 week or so it went back offline. Not only that, but the software I had and that worked, was updated and is now only valid for Korea. I think they are working through a list of issues that came up after people started using the update software. I think it was more beta than release version. We will see what happens, but as of now it even seems that some charging stations are no longer in the POI list for Québec, and that is a very large number of them! I hope they fix it and make it live again very soon.
it can be downloaded for free with a usb stick if you have a 2020 model
Correct, as mentioned in the video, all 2020 models get the updates for free, 2 times per year, for 10 years. I also posted a community post about the new update site that was activated for all model year Kias to get the updates for free, but it recently went back offline due to issues that some users had.
Est-ce que tu as remarqué une "accélération" du système UVO? C'est vraiment lent pour envoyer les commandes sur mon Niro 2019...
Malheureusement le trouble de lenteur avec l'application UVO Intelligence est plus le résultat de la façon que les serveurs chez Kia "parlent" avec la voiture et l'application. Je n'ai pas vu d'amélioration pour UVO. Désolé.
Jai téléchargé les fichiers de la mise à jour du web (nov 2020) sur une clé usb (niro ev 2020) par contre je suis craintif de l'installé de crainte de tout perdre. Est-ce que certains ont jait l'exercice ? Merci pour le vidéo.
Ça va dépendre de la version que vous avez. Pour ma part, avec ma 2019, je n'ai pas perdu grand chose, mais je n'ai pas d'expérience avec la 2020 et il semble que la mise à jour est plus importante. Ma question est... vous avez une crainte de perdre quoi exactement?
J'ai lu que la mise à jour était incapable de se finaliser. Donc perte de l'écran et impossible de revenir à l'anciemne version.
@@denisl.7967 ok, je comprends maintenant. La mise à jour peut ne pas terminer de la bonne façon mais en générale ce problème était avec l'ancienne version de la mise à jour et est la raison que le site de téléchargement avait fermé pour environ 1 mois. Rien est parfait mais plusieurs ont fait la mise à jour sans problèmes. Si vous avez un problème Kia devrait le corriger et si vous n'êtes pas certain vous pouvez toujours demander à votre concessionnaire de le faire.
Un gros merci pour le suivi.
Je suis étonné que ça ne fonctionne pas par download. Le Kona 2019 l'update était en download et c'est aussi Mapnsoft.
Présentement Kia ne permet pas le download pour les 2019 et plus vieux. 2020, oui, mais pas 2019. J'aimerais bien qu'ils changent ça pour être comme Hyundai car c'est ridicule d'avoir besoin de commander une carte SD en 2020.
An informative video,cthanks for sharing.
Can the sat-nav be controlled by voice commands on the e-niro?
Thank you! I will have to verify because I use Android Auto. It does have voice commands but I have not tried navigation voice commands. I will get back to you.
@@EV-olution thanks for your prompt response and seeking the answer for me.
I would also be interested to learn what other voice commands can be used for in the e-niro.
André: Thanks for your video’s and congratulations for reaching, and surpassing 3,000 viewers. Will you be sending the $100US to each of us via PayPal? Seriously, I appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating this content. BTW, I just bought my eNiro in May 2019 and my dealer also said he had heard that free updates might be coming to us this summer.
LoL! Thank you. My subscriber count is growing and I really appreciate it. My next goal is 5000, only 1.5K left ;)
I hope the free download rumors for 2019 Kia vehicles becomes a reality. Hyundai already allows it!
I just went out to updates.kia.com and see they are also saying updates will be free later this summer. I couldn’t download either the Mac or PC version of the updated software, but it looks promising.
I just pinned a comment from another viewer and posted it in all Facebook groups. It should go live and be free in July.
Is there an equivalent to this site in the UK/Europe??
The new Web site is supposed to be live in July (see my community post): update.kia.com/
but it seems to still not be ready as the download button does nothing. Once the site goes live we will find out, as the instruction images show, if it is a worldwide option or not.
How is your experience with ev range in Canada.
In the summer I get around 425km on a full charge, but I drive it like a normal car. Some people get 500km and more. It really depends on driving conditions and the driver.
EV-olution and how about winter
When it is very cold, like -25C, or colder, then there is a loss of about 25%. At that temperature in the winter I get about 300km to 330km.
Bonsoir vos vidéos sont tte bien et différentes je ne savais pas si je pouvais vous contacter en français
Je viens de voir qu’il y’a une carte SD pour la mise à jour je vais bientôt avoir une kia e Niro modèle de base j’habite en France la carte SD équipe aussi les véhicule pour la France bonne soirée
Bonsoir et merci pour votre commentaire. La Niro EV 2019 utilise une carte SD mais la 2020 et plus récente utilise le port USB et une clé USB pour la mise à jour. Autre chose, depuis la création de cette vidéo les choses ont changés et les mises à jour peuvent être créées gratuitement avec le site update.kia.com. Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année.
Giiles
J'ai fait venir l'update pour ma Niro EV 2019 (qui est en passant pareil a la tienne ) mais malchance l'update n'as pas funtionner et mon display est maintenant barrer sur le logo de depart et reste ainsi. Je suis presentement en discussion avec la compagny qui distribue les updates pour regler cela mais cas bouge pas vite vu qu'il sont en californie. Je dois mettre en garde les gens qui voudront faire l'update il se peut qu'il ait des problemes eux aussi. Je vais te tenir au courant de la conclusion de mon probleme avec Kia map care.
Merci pour l'avis. Il est certain qu'avec des mises à jour, comme toutes appareils, qu'il y ait de problèmes mais c'est plutôt rare. Est-ce que vous avez éteint la voiture, ou fait intérruption pendant la mise à jour? Votre concessionaire peut possiblement aider.
@@EV-olution Oui j"ai suivi toutes les instructions sans faire d'interuption mais contrairement a toi j'ai ete oblige d'aller dans le menu system info et peser sur update pour que tout demarre. Je vais voir ce que le service de Kia vas me repondre avant d'aller au concessionnaire. Merci!
Si vous aviez le bouton Update c'est que votre version de logiciel était plus récent que le mien. Est-ce que vous avez noter la version que vous aviez avant la mise à jour?
Etant donne que j'ai eu ma niro en septembre 2019 ma version etait 12 je crois. Donc possible que la difference soitcela , si l'on regarde les instructions fournis sur leur site il faut faire la procedure en selectionnant l'update dans le menu.
Oui, c'est une des différences avec la version que j'avais avant. Maintenant j'ai le bouton update.
Will this also work in Europe?
Unfortunately the new update Website, and this option to order, is not compatible with European versions of Kia and Hyundai vehicles. I received several comments from viewers in Europe and most said the navigation updates could only be done at the dealer, but many said it was free. I was told, however, that there was an update to the new Website that shows some new regions being added so I would suggest keeping an eye open for the addition of your country: update.kia.com/
@@EV-olution Okay, thank you! I'll keep an eye on the website you mentioned!
LOL. I prefer over the air updates. This is not 1998. Wow.
That video was from 2019 and the Niro EV was based on the ICE version, it is definitely not a technological marvel. The new generation of EVs from Hyundai and Kia offer over the air updates, V2L, and much more.
36$ shipping 💰🥴
Yep, I was not happy, but the update is free on the new site, so no more shipping or update cost :-)
Very cheap of Kia to charge a new vehicle owner to update the software and ridiculous shipping fees! Tesla doesn't charge for updates and does it over wifi, oh the technology, how do they do it?
The worst part is that the cars have LTE connectivity and could do OTA like Tesla. The other annoying thing is that the same company that makes the software, mapnsoft, also does the Hyundai version and for Hyundai it is free for 2019 cars, not just 2020 like Kia. There are rumors that Kia will do like Hyundai, but nothing so far. If I could at least download the update after paying for it instead of having to pay for shipping for an SD card. That is beyond ridiculous, we are in 2020.
@@EV-olution Wow just wow. One thing you did not do is tell us how big the file is? I have the exact same vehicle as you and the same software version before you updated. I'm willing to donate some funds for a Google drive download. Provide that and a PayPal email, otherwise I'm in no rush to shell out these funds to Kia.
The files total 64GB. Also, please see the new pinned comment. It would seem that the new map update site will go live in July and be free.
I’m sorry, you have to do what? Lol. A physical update? Wow.
So glad I got a Tesla. :)
Yep, Kia makes you update via SD, or USB key depending on model year, it is very 2000ish. Kia and other automakers have a long way to go to get to where Tesla is regarding technology, battery, and propulsion, etc. Tesla is the best in those aspects, but Tesla has a long way to go in terms of quality assurance, fit and finish and service. No one company has everything figured out yet.
@@EV-olution I suppose the difference is that Tesla are striving to improve those areas whereas your e-niro is firmly stuck in the 2000’s .
A shame really that the older car companies aren’t able to encompass the future.
