Done a couple of trips recently and my built in car sat nav did not have the roads I needed, so ended up using maps/phone, not a huge issue. But decided to see if the car sat nav can be updated..... Few searches online (I have a Hyundai) and it seems it can be, find website, find link, DL update file, (has to be DL'd to pc first and it was SLOW, took about an hour!), then transfer update file to usb mem stick (bit quicker but not much) and into the car I go....
But, nope, no success for me!
DL'd the update and tried to import it into the car via usb. But when i go into settings and then the Sys info/Update it says theres already a waiting update (seems to be "Infotainment" related?) but will not let me update, the "Update now" button is greyed out, so can't get rid of that and it will not let me upload the sat nav update either.
I don't use the Hyundai bluelink shite, (basically car manufacturers data collection tool) but I thought, ok, maybe I need that, so added my phone, DL'd the BL app connected to car etc, but again, no option to do the update?
So after faffing about for another hour, with no success whatsoever, I deleted the BL app, which then reset the car to default factory settings, so lost all my car settings, screen layout, button options, sat nav recent locations/history, lost phone BT connection, driver info, everything, so then had to spend another hour going through all the screens setting the car back to how I wanted it.....
AAAAAaaaaaarrrrrhhhh!!!!!
Why oh why are these things never bloody simple? why do they have to complicate everything?
So bugger it, lifes too short, I'm not spending another couple of hours on this shite, the dealer can bloody well sort it out when it goes in for its service in couple of months.
F*ckin cars...... and breathe......
