Re: Updating maps

It's been 6 months since I updated the maps/Nav system on my Niro PHEV from their 2019 originals when I bought the car. Frankly - my advice to all would be please DON'T BOTHER. OK the new maps themselves now show a new junction here and there but the way they are displayed makes it much harder to us...

Re: Updating maps

Thanks Alan. I suspect you are right. It's a 2019 (MY2018) Niro PHEV and I wasn't really expecting the Kia Connect system to work but it was worth a try. Meanwhile I've been trying the new satnav system and , after a lot of adjustments to the settings, is now looking better than the pasty coloured s...

Re: Updating maps

I also switched on the wifi, which seems to be a new feature in the update, and connected to my home wifi. (It shows "Live" in the top left corner of the screen - see above picture). I wondered if it might link to Kia Connect which I downloaded onto my phone. I tried typing in the VIN into...

Re: Updating maps

Thanks to the info on this and other sites I've just updated the maps and nav system on my Niro PHEV MY18. At least I assumed it was MY18 as I got the car brand new in Jan 2019. Frankly updating is not for the faint-hearted. I download the update App from the Kia site https://update.kia.com/EU/E1/up...

Re: PHEV Charging

Hooray - My PHEV Niro finally arrived two weeks ago and is sitting in my drive - almost 6 months since I ordered it. The dealer honoured the £2500 EV grant and even gave me £120 further discount as the Charge Point install offer had ended. The weather has been pretty atrocious in the last 2 weeks so...

Re: PHEV Charging

I'm still waiting for my new Kia Niro PHEV to be delivered but that's a different story (5 months wait so far!!). Previous to this I had a BMW 330e PHEV on a two year company car lease. As part of this I had the opportunity to have a £500 Government subsidy towards having a charge point installed bu...

Re: Lead time/waiting time

Hi - ordered my Kia Niro PHEV 13th July. Just been told by the dealer "your car is currently in production and is showing an estimated delivery date to the dealership of the end of November". That's 20 weeks ! Bit pissed it will arrive just a few days before the year changes. Ho hum.
