Hyundai Sonata Navigation System

Unfortunately, my issue with the speeds is that the GPS software mistakes main roads for interstates and calculates the time to arrival incorrectly. I've proven this by having a route that is not on an interstate and when I adjust the interstate speed the time to arrival will change. It's especially neat when I have 5 miles to go and it is going to take me 4 mintues to get there, even more so when the interstate speed I have set is 55 MPH.

When I called customer service, I was told that they might look at having the Nav system replaced and then reimbursing me for the cost of the Map Update since I upgraded a defective unit. I brought my car in for service and the service manager stated that he is going to try to figure something out for me. We'll see what happens.

Thanks,

Am I sorry I purchased this car NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK OUT THERE.
As for the version from earlier this year, i never bought it as i didn't think it was worth $200 for only a year's worth of updates.
I'll update with more info after my update on Monday. Fortunately, it seems like Hyundai is actually going to reimburse me the $199 since a recall is causing me to purchase a new update.

Congrats on getting the new version and also getting it free. I look forward to your post of any changes and bug fixes.
"TA6 09 NF NAVIGATION REPLACE 10-01-011"
I also had the transmission system update as well when I went in this past time, too.
From what it seems like, I should have had the Nav System replaced back in May, but the tech refused to do it then because I had updated the map.
And, hopefully, Hyundai will reimburse me. I need to send in the invoice once the Navigation System is replaced along with receipts from my two map update purchases. After that they will make a decision.

The new map/software upate seems to be doing well. The software version is now displayed as v017. I noticed that my iPod shuts off when the car is turned off, so they definitely updated the software. They have not corrected the issue with the Random feature in that if you select a different input or use the tuner dial to change a song, the Random option turns off. The option should remain set at all times, even after the car is turned off and on (store it in the system registry just like the preset radio stations).
While one place I go still is not correct on the map even though the streets changed there about 3 years ago, other new streets where I frequent are correct now. The map also seems to route a little better now too. One route I would take would actually have a shortcut between two roads. In the past, it would never route me on that road. It now will do so.
I'll update with more info if I see anything else.

I was hoping that since they made a big deal out of it being "version 3" that it would have other changes. Not even Apple expects people to pay a premium for a new ipod without giving some indication of what you get for your money.
On a positive note, Hyundai Consumer Affairs has approved my request for reimbursement of the nav update software.

Guess i was hoping for some other changes. Just saw they came out with a new TSB for the navi... probably similar TSA that was used to replace yours. Campaign TA6 for the 2009 NF. TSB doesn't mention why it's being replaced, only that the TSB calls for them to replace the whole navi unit.
On a side note, i have several ipod nanos that i swap out in the car and using the same official hyundai cable, i've noticed the older ipod would regularly stay on when i turn off the car, while the newer nano's seem to turn off as they are supposed to.
As for the iPod issue, I have noticed that my wife's iPod, which is a 5th generation (?), the one after the iPod Video, does turn off.
