Navigation Map and Software Update update.

I just spoke to the KIA navigation solutions support group (888-757-0010) and inquired about when the next software update will be available. The rep told me it should be available in mid-December. I asked what the new version number will be, and he said probably V19. Before I was able to speak to a human, the touch-tone system said the latest version of software was V18 released in Sept. I could not find that version online. The touch-tone system also said the next release would be in mid-December as V18.5. So who knows what it will be. We will see!

Thanks for getting some info on next update, I look regularly for updates.

About a week ago, my nav displayed a notice that the next update would contain an update to the rear camera, and that I should not drive the vehicle while the update is installed. First time I ever recall getting a "pre warning" so to speak. I figured that meant one would be arriving OTA shortly...

I had that same message. Today it says: "There are ongoing updates. Preparing to install the Infotainment System Software." The message says that if the vehicle is turned off, the update will continue at the next vehicle start-up. Software Version: ON_PE.USA.55W_M.V014.010.250818

I'm guessing it will finish up over the next couple of days while driving. I usually get a message when the install has completed.
