It's easy. Follow the steps here:

My Sorento is now updated to version 1.MP.9.010. The version on there was 1.MP.9.008. Hopefully this will deal with some of the bugs I've noticed. I'll add to this thread after I've had a day or two to play with the new firmware.

Best,

I just updated mine as well. I had looked into it months ago, but at the time the version number was pretty close to mine and there was no change log or anything to indicated what had been fixed, so I put it off. So far, I notice that the bug that prevented song titles from being displayed properly when using Bluetooth streaming is now fixed. I've always hated the fact that it will go out of shuffle mode when you turn off the car. Not sure if that's a bug or intended behavior, but we'll see if that's changed.

The other thing I would really like to see if they have changed is the delay that sometimes occurs between turning on the car and having the backup camera come on. Usually it's more or less instantaneous, but sometimes it seems that the system has to reboot and you're left sitting for a minute or so, which sucks.

I updated, and then i ran an errand. It was starting to have some issues on jumping to the next song over Bluetooth. Hopefully that doesn't continue.

Do the 2013 Sorento's with UVO need to update yet?

Yes, I noted the same thing with my uvo. Sometimes it is slow to boot and other times the backup camera delays coming on or doesn't come on at all.

I can confirm that my 2013 Sorento LX was on firmware 8 and this is firmware 10...updated fine with the files I downloaded from the other thread, haven't noticed differences yet but I haven't thoroughly tested it.

I have tested this for a couple of days and it hasn't fixed my biggest gripe with UVO. Random bumps while driving cause an interruption in music playing from the USB port and switches the source to the radio. The next random bump will suddenly cause the USB device to be recognized/scanned and play the first track on the device.

I've tried a half dozen different USB fobs, my phone connected as a USB device, an Intel 60GB SSD connected with a SATA/USB adapter and they ALL suffer the same problem. I'm inclined at this stage to think that the USB jack is defective and not making constant contact with the plugged-in device when the unit is jarred by a bump.

Sigh...

How do I find out what version I'm currently using?

 

[jsh1120]

Apologies for the ignorance. I'm under the impression that my 2012 SX with the navigation system does not use the UVO system, at all. Thus, no need to worry about upgrading firmware. True?

 

[rroyce46]

jsh1120,you are correct .you don't have UVO so no update for u

 

[guzzler]

Is there an update available for non uvo sorento?

 

[lxedition]

Not that I have been aware of...It's not driven by Microsoft

Just did this update last night, thanks to the OP for posting it!
The update itself took about 15 minutes (including downloading, opening, copying to flashdrive, and finally installing in the car), but it went very smooth, no issues at all.

No idea what the upgrade includes, and haven't had time to test anything out yet.

thanks, how do you find out what firmware you have? Sorry I am a newb

You can read the post that I had in my first message and that includes info on how to find your current version number.

 

[bonjorno2]

thanks will do!

I tried 2x, it kept saying cannot read flash drive. I'll try a different drive.

 

[vpkb1998]

I tried a new USB Drive, creating it from a MAC this time and was able to update.

To respond to myself...

Nope, not changed.

If anything this might be worse than before. Hard to say.

By the way, what's the biggest USB memory device that people have successfully used with their UVO systems? I have a 32GB stick, but was wondering about getting a 64GB one.

I have a Patriot 64GB USB fob that works. However, it suffers from the same problem that I've reported in other threads...significant bumps cause it to "lose contact" with the head unit. The head unit then reverts to the radio until such time as it thinks the USB has returned. Then it will interrupt the radio, scan the USB drive, and begin playing from the USB from whatever it feels is the first track on the device. This is the same with multiple USB devices I've tried. FAIL Another "quality" Microsoft product, I'm afraid.
