Unable to software update my USA KIA Sportage 2020 LX

My car has no SD card slot so I'm using Navigation Updater program and two usb drives USB 2.0 32gb and USB 3.0 64gb yet whenever I finish copying the files to either USB drives and plugging it into the USB slot in my car and going to update section I receive the following message "insert the device that contains update..." or something of that sort. What am I doing wrong?

Anyone know if there's a way, in a Kia Seltos SX Canadian model, to use engineering mode to enable full screen android auto? I have the 10.25" screen and it's frustrating only being able to use 2/3 of the screen.

Any ideas?

Yeah tried that in both Time Formats (12h & 24h), didn't work.

I need a list of possible password combinations to crack this bs Mode!

Yeah I am struggling with the same issue in my Kia K5 2021, couldn't find a way to solve this annoying problem.

Hi All,
Have just bought Hyundai Tucson 2021 Hybrid 10" touch screen model (EU Version from manufactured in Czech ). Have read and tried all variations from this thread to enter to engineer mode. None worked...
what I could not understand:
a) How exactly I should enter in Engineer Mode for my case...
b) Why "update" button is disabled (grayed) in my case, when on everyone's else screenshots "update" button is clearly enabled (white text)?

After reading all latest posts in this thread I understood that most probably
@olega59 , @SonicSpinner
you may have answer for my case.
Would appreciate much if anyone knows how to exactly enter for this version in Engineer Mode.

Attaching screenshots and version information.
Things I want to experiment with:
1. I want to disable built-In navigation (since it is not working in Georgia).
2. Download/Update Georgian Map from TomTom live (for mobile verions there is a map of Georgia) or enable BlueLink App (it is not installed at this moment) and many others, but at first I just what to enter engineer mode and check what in my car

This sounds to me like wrong USB drive format. For some variants its FAT32 and for some its exFAT.
Did you try re-formatting ?

Thanks for replying. I only tried FAT32 as that's what it showed me on KIA website for the Sportage 2020.

With some help from @SonicSpinner I am now able to sideload apk:s on my 2018 Kia Niro PHEV.
Successfully installed CPU-Z, FX File Explorer, PacMan from Easy Fire Tools (utilizing adb over WiFi).

Trying to install YouTube Vanced, I get the following Error:
Failed: Unsupported android version (INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK)

System Requirements for installing Vanced is a bit unclear. Some apk repositories states min 4.4 (KitKat) whereas other places states the minimum level is 5.0 (Lollipop). Have tried installing both Vanced Manager as well as Vanced standalone.

Does anybody now a workaround, to make Vanced finnish the installation?


According to CPU-Z, my Head Unit contains:

SoC: TCC893x CPU: 32 bit ARM Cortex-A9 Dual Core Total RAM: 822 MB Available RAM: 316 MB (38%) Internal Storage: 1,38 GB Available Storage: 1,25 GB (90%)

Operating System (according to CPU-Z):

Android Version 4.4.2 API Level: 17 Kernel Architecture: armv71 Kernel Version: 3.1.10-tcc (user.dagyeong.kim.20210111.113527)

Cheers buddy.

I have vanced which I used before on my headunit. Will post a link for you later

1. enter the engineering mode and open the usb debug model
2.install the android-platform-tools on your computer
3.by a usb-to-usb cable
4.download the youtube.apk , the version should be for you car head unit android os version
5.connect your computer to the car head unit via usb , open the terminal or command window , use the command "adb shell install local path /youtube.apk /data/app/"

Naa, its there somwwhere im sure.
i remember also there is a setting somewhere where you can change the place of the knob, to the steering wheel button. then people used the steering wheel button to press " ok " when doing 7-3-1-

Ill try to search that one as well, i ll go through manual now ..
as of know i can change only two buttons (Star button from the stearing wheel and the star button on the navigation, and one more i suppose its media touch button).. . what is the right Knob Exactly doing in other versions? (is it activating media or selecting radio).. cause i tired to long press radio and media as well, nothing happened. damn i want to disassembler that bin file but it is Unix based so hard to read even if i try to.
