My Kia Soul has a version of this, but it doesn't integrate with Carplay, and the maps that came with the car are already outdated enough to bother me.
replyyou actually may be able to update these. it's worth looking into.
replyThe maps? Why would I bother when I can use Carplay instead?
replyThe car's integration with Carplay? Even models that are 4 years newer than mine seem to still not have this. Not sure what's going on there.
I meant if you wanted to update the maps in your gauge cluster.
replyyou said they bothered you, so I suggested a fix. no obligation to do it if you don't care.
It's a non-fix if I have to do that every year (or every however-often-I-notice-an-error, the first error I noticed was within a year). Google Maps is constantly updated. Not to mention that Kia aren't going to be supplying updates in 10 years, while Google probably are (and if they aren't, I can still use Carplay and a different set of maps).
reply> The maps? Why would I bother when I can use Carplay instead?
replyBecause, I quote: "they bother you". Which would explain why should you bother, right?
(Also, I was specifically talking about having Android Auto/Carplay projected in gauge cluster.)
Carplay's a better fix for the map issue, since then I don't have to update them whenever I find an error. With Carplay, errors instead don't happen.
replyThe directions being shown in the gauge cluster via carplay is still not a thing on later Kias from what I can tell, so that problem is unfixed no matter what.
