KIA Ceed - multimedia/maps update - for LG LAN2060EKJD

EN

In that topic will show you how I did update my car`s multimedia system to newest maps and software possible for now. In some websites there are offers that for about 40e / 30£ they will send you download link.. Why should I do that?

Before even start, keep in mind two really important things: that will take quite some time (the actual USB to car transfer) . Maybe about 30-35min at least, and also the engine must run or connect some battery charger so that the car will not go into Energy saving mode. Actually, if you have some long trip, plug the flash drive, select until the process start and you do not need to touch anything anymore and drive. The player will continue to play radio station what you left and meanwhile update.


The PLAYER in question is LG LAN2060EKJD , belong to KIA Ceed model `2014, and it look like that (image on right) radio.jpg

getting the needed software for PC (maps downloader) can be done here (see the right shot) info_0.jpg
getting the software and installing it are easy. Once all installed, the first start will be a bit slow.

That is the time when it makes some automatic registration. I didn`t write any username or password or anything to get it run. Also, I choose the selected USB model not SD! That is important, because similar looking but with SD card slot exist and I`m quite sure it will not be perfectly suitable.
