I want the most updated version like everyone else but it is fore sure not worth those headaches. Did the dealer or if you can find out once it is totally functioning what went wrong and how we all can avoid that

Sorry to hear about the mishaps with Map update. My dealer had issues with the update as well, however they were able to get it reset and install the current version. The only thing I wasn't please with when the update failed they wanted me to take a used Sorento that stunk, very foul odor to use over night. They had on lot a dealers demo V.I.P version, which they said they could not give to me without reason. Got on my cell called Kia V.I.P program, which advised the dealership to give me the demo car to use. Didn't have to take it because their tech had corrected the issue with the installation. So since they had run the engine for well over an hour they filled my tank for free, plus stated that they will completely detail the car and fill it up again the next time I'm there.

Just make sure you unpair any and all phones before starting.

A bit late in providing additional information.

My dealer did get the latest, at this time (Sept 2015) update installed and fixed all the other problems with com system as result of improper install the first time.

Dealer paid for the update and service issues as the help of Karla from corporate Kia customer service.

I heard the latest update automatically will agree on the nav screen when you turn the car on. Is this true?

yes.. after a certain amount of seconds it will just bring you to whatever source you turned it off on..

is it the sept 2015 version that eliminates the agree button being pressed? my dealer claims no knowledge of an update to the k900 audio/nav system. any further info would help, thanks.

Go to mapnsoft.com and you will see the update.
Yes it updates the firmware and maps.
The agree will disappear after 10 seconds.
Take some screen shots on your phone to show dealer.
You can check the version on your car.
Be sure and lookup the type of update by firmware version
Use the wrong one and screw up the system.
Make sure you unpair any phones before update.
call customer support and tell them dealer says there was
no update in sept 2015, ask them to ask dealer to try update.
If that doesn't fix it, have head unit replaced.

thanks Gene. My dealer called me today and said there is a new 2017 update addressing my issues exactly. I'm taking it in tomorrow to have it updated at no charge and hopefully the problems are fixed.

I'll post my results!

Great news.
