Sorry, I don't have your model, I thought it was the same thing.

In answer to Indra W's original question re: The USB Stick

First let me say this is NOT the method to be used to update the maps for the i30.  So if you want to experiment with the following explanation, do so at your own peril.

But after a lot of web searching, what I have found is a method used by other car models to update their maps via a USB.  It is reasonable to assume that the Hyundai i30 may use the same principle sometime in the future. A broad overview of the common process seems to be as follows:
1. Download and install software called SyncTool, which is specific to your car, onto the USB stick
2. Download and install software called Naviextras Toolbox onto your PC.
3. With the car's entertainment head turned off, put the USB into the entertainment head and then turn it on.
4. The entertainment head will (ought to??) boot up from the USB Stick.
5. You will now be in a different operating system (SyncTool) and from the options provided, copy the entertainment head's software/data onto the USB stick.  This could take a long time (50 minutes??) and the process must not be interrupted.
6. Take the USB stick over to your PC, and by using the Naviextras Toolbox, update the maps data component on the USB stick (You need to have an account and it will cost for the update).
7. Take the USB stick back to the car and, again, boot the entertainment head from the USB stick
8. From the options provided via the SyncTool, update the entertainment head's software/data from the USB stick.  Again, this could take a long time and must not be interrupted.

At this point in time I can't find any SyncTool that is specifically for the i30.  I am guessing the difference between the cars / models is contained within the SyncTool's 'Manufacturer.ini' file.  In one that I downloaded the contents read
   id="Zenec_Synctool_C9"

I suspect if the 'id' is not correct for your car's entertainment head then the update process won't work.  AND you could corrupt the entertainment head's installed software.

However for those who would like to know a little more, here's a sample site to look at:
http://www.zenec.com/en/products/ego/hyundai/ze-nc4121d/
The SyncTool software links are toward the bottom in the right hand column
There are other car sites with similar SyncTool instructions.

Welcome to the forum Ray2U99,

A very informative and comprehensive 1st post.

Welcome to the forum.
Very helpful first post.

Only one problem. I've spent months trying to sort out with Naviextras how to update my navigation.  The tech there thought i could sort out a lot of the problems with an update. The final outcome was that Hyundai told Naviextras that any updates can only be provided thru Hyundai dealers and at this stage there are no updates available. Naviextras told me that they would know make that information available on there site. I really think this is unexceptable as the car and the Navigation system belong to me and if I want to do an update to make the system usable I should be able to without having to go thru a Hyundai dealer. The other problem I have is the IPhone USB connection to the unit doesn't work and when I put the car in for a service the dealer and asked them to fix it they told me I would have to leave the car there for an additional two hours for them to look at it. I had a doctors appointment and couldn't leave it the extra time. So I'll have to sort out another time to get it fixed, hopefully when they can also do an update.
I have sent information to Hyundai a number of times informing them of the problems with the GPS system and have never got a reply. Even though I think this is a great car I would never buy another Hyundai again. After sales service is rubbish.

[Phil №❶]

Regarding the GPS and updates, I agree with you 100%. You own the GPS and should be free to take any option for upgrades you desire.

I am sad that this is enough to make you depart from the i30 though, I understand your frustration though. Aren't other brands just as restrictive though.

A few months ago I proposed where hyundai are likely to go with respect to making map updates available to i30 owners (see my previous post; 16 May 2013).  Since then I have found more specific information that points the way forward.

There is a Korean web site (developed by Motrex) that is is slowly evolving (very slowly) and, seemingly, it will/does enable owners to gain access to map updates.  For Australian Hyundai owners, there are many of the site paths that lead to dead-ends where it is obvious there is more work to be done.

For Brazil's i30 owners the facility appears to be complete.  Owners can download instruction manuals and are correctly forwarded to the Naviextras web site where they can download the map update toolkit and where they can purchase and download Brazil's latest maps.

By following Brazil's map update instruction manual I was able to get part the way through the update procedure and achieve some success.
The first part is to take a backup, onto the blank USB drive, of your entertainment head's map software.  This I was able to do and ended up with a 'BACKUP' folder containing the existing software on the USB drive.
The second part is to download a new map onto the USB drive via the PC and then take it to your car and update the maps.  I was not able to do this second part because, as at this time,  there are no Australian map update facilities.

There is nothing to say that these Motrex/Naviextras sites will continue to evolve, but if they do then it's very likely this is where Australian Hyundai owners who want to update their maps will go.  As I understand consumer law there is nothing to stop Hyundai Australia to insist owners get their map updates from their authorised dealers and for Hyundai Australia to elect not to evolve the Motrex/Naviextras web sites any further.

Within the first 3 years from purchase Australian i30 owners are able to get free map updates as part of their routine service.  Maybe the Motrex update facility will become available when the current series i30 reaches the 3 year old mark.  If Hyundai doesn't elect to make available map updates it may be easier to buy an after market entertainment head and then completely bypass Hyundai and install your own maps.

To find out when the sites are planned to be available I've tried emailing both Motrex (Seoul) and Cartronics (Melbourne) but there has been no reply.

All interesting mate. You only get two map updates and then only if you pay the servicing department to get your car serviced there. It's a pretty ordinary GPS anyway an IPhone with a $16 app does a much better job.

Hi

Press the trip until you get to settings then by holding the trip button for .... I think 10 seconds you can then turn things off and on ......... like when the door auto lock speed or off, door chimes and a few other things.

Mate thanks but that has been covered before you can only turn off the welcome chime not the door chime. The only way I have found is to leave the acc on while the door is open, that way when your cleaning etc you haven't got that annoying chime
