The new version 9 of the in-dash maps are about to be released so Mapnsoft, who handle map updates on the KIA/Hyundai vehicles, are offering a discount on the current version 8/8.5 which expires at the end of the month. The normal price for my KIA map update is $199US, but it's currently $99US, on which they just do a straight conversion to CDN$. Hyundai vehicles seem to have the lesser $76 discount. I ordered mine on the 9th of May and it arrived via courier yesterday.
The process is that after you order they send you an USB drive for which you then need to get an activation code from their website (currently not working for activations) or via telephone. The USB drive is useless without the activation code. They'll ask you for the order number, vehicle VIN, as well as the device ID, which is unique to each navigation unit and found on its System Info screen.
They seem to be having some difficulties at the moment with portions of their website, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to order today, but I was told that they're working on restoring service when I phoned in to get an authentication code generated for my vehicle.
I realize that paying to update maps on an OEM navigation system is anathema to many of you, and that there are discrete GPS units available with free lifetime map updates and of the existence of smartphones, Google Maps, Nokia Here, etc. This post is specifically tailored to KIA and Hyundai owners who want updated maps on their in-dash navigation system. Full stop.
