Hi,
Just collected my Sportage last week, with the Kenwood touchscreen GPS unit, but I couldn't find the main GPS unit for me to insert the supplied Singapore map (SD Card)... Saw the GPS antenna on the passenger side dashboard but just couldn't locate the main GPS unit.
Anyone can advise? Thanks...

A few places I can think so, under front seats (passenger & driver), glove compartment, spare tyre well.
Alternatively, I suggest giving C&C service center a call, they usually install in a fixed location which will be known to the service center staff.

Hi razor54, Just curious. If you used the dashboard GPS, can it be concurrently use to play movie or music while you're driving long distance?

Bernard I've tried under both front seats and the glove compartment but still couldn't locate the main GPS unit. Maybe I'll give the spare tyre well a try... Contacted the agent at C&C and he replied it might be installed away from view. Have to get in touch with service centre at Pandan, where it's installed, to find out the exact location. I guess I'll have to check with the technician during my next service trip there...

I'm still able to connect to the satellites while listening to music in the background, so I believe watching videos shouldn't be a problem...that is if you've disconnected the safety 'drive-cannot-play-video' requirement that came with the stock unit.

Ok, finally solved the GPS map problem.
Was doing up my sound system and found it hidden behind the HU...inserted the SD card with the sg map and it is working now.

Bernard That's not a bad idea...provided they can find another empty space somewhere. If not, I'll have to remove the whole HU again just to update the maps.

What is the software your GPS receiver is running? If its mapking or Garmin, then you can probably use updated maps released by MalSingMaps.

if its a kenwood system , its most likely using a Garmin Streetpilot series system. Malsingmaps would have the maps for it.

Hi razor54, So far what I know is that now they require the members to do some contribution first. Then will provide you the key to unlock the new map. So good luck to you!! It's using Garmin... So is it free to download updated singapore maps from malsingmaps?
