November update available for download

[chopsueyboi]

Can anyone in this thread with the most up to date firmware/update and the Ambient Lighting feature (NOT mood lighting) confirm if KIA has fixed the error message folks were getting when trying to unselect [ambient] lighting "auto-dimming while driving" feature?

See thread here:

Vehicle Controller Error in Settings?

Same issue here. It is also present when trying to change the temperature unit to Celsius. That’s because (similarly to what I pointed out in the first response on this thread) that function is changed via the instrument cluster and not the infotainment screen. User settings > other >...

and here:

Ambient lighting EXTREMELY DIM.

Wow. Yours are very bright. I will take a picture of mine on level 10 with Refreshing Sea. I feel the same as the original poster - mine is very dim. I also got the lighting package option where the button is inside of the cup holder area. Those lights are for the feet areas in the front cabin...

Can anyone confirm this option came with the updates?

I just checked and there is no Auto Dim option in the Ambient Lighting menu. Color and Brightness are the only two options available and within each no option to auto dim.

Will the latest version (released last week), bring my system up to date, or, do I need to load the April, 2021, update first?

Yes, installing the latest update will get you current.

You couldn’t install an older update even if you wanted to, because the only thing you can download is the newest one.

Actually, I could install the older update. I have the flash drive containing the April version. But, decided to hold onto it. Thanks for answering my question, and for the info you posted about the various updates.

BTW, I plan to load the latest version soon. No need for the April update.

yes, still not working this am. So if you did upload the update, what is wrong with it?

 

[T_ride]

Not sure if mentioned. Another small change I noticed was a new animation for the drive modes.

Looks like they are going for the TRON look. I can’t say they executed it well though.

I sent an email to Greg Silvestri at Kia. As the Vice President for Service & After Sales Operations, I'm hoping he was the right executive to reach out to. Let's see if he has the interest and power to make the changes most people here want.

What's the chances that it's not a bad bug but one that allowed some functionality without a UVO subscription? I'm still on the last pre-purple edition but I never use onboard audio just CarPlay and want to update my maps.

 

[Jaggrey]

I’ve been on the update since it released and I haven’t seen any issues.

 

[WaxZ28]

Looks like a new download app rebranded with the new KIA logo is available to download, but the actual Infotainment download is still offline.

 

[lazyengineer]

How is everyone getting this? I keep getting: "Download for this vehicle is not yet available." for my Telluride attempt to download.

We've been referring to it as the "Barney" update.

I just tried to the Nav updater and it is downloading the the new update (I Assume) now. Now whether I install in now or wait for someone else to try it first is another question.

 

[tuukka87]

Downloading now, installing tonight. Will report back lol.

 

[tuukka87]

I downloaded and copied the software to a USB drive, but when I try to install, it says the media device contains no files. Any insights? I can see the files on the drive when plugged into my computer.
