it will always download it to the tempfolder on your computer even when you select the usb stick as target ...

 

Bah. I’ll have to find someone with enough space on their hard drive to download it for me.

 

@Silverage when you put the 64 GB usb stick in the computer, I think you can set the download location to the usb stick. Make sure to format to exFat first. And then move the files in the download folder of the usb stick up......to be in the top directory.

 

I've tried that, but when you select the USB stick as the storage folder, you get this;

Sorry @Silverage , it disturbs me too, but the good thing is that this "is the last USB update".
The next one will be OTA (?)

EDIT: Just tested, and after this info, I actually had the USB-folder available and selectable as a download location !!!
So, you can download directly to the USB stick, regardless of the error message above !!!

 

I’m going to have to buy the 64gb USB drive regardless, so I can give that a try.

 

Perfect! Thanks for trying that and reporting back. I'll get a large USB drive and try it myself later.

 

Too bad you can't just DL direct to the car itself

 

Like "OTA-lite"?

 

And now I can confirm that the Navigation Updater uses temp files on the hard drive even when selecting the USB stick as target - just as @roqu said.
When I select USB stick as target, there is a note saying "Data size: 37 GB; Required hard disk space: 62GB".

Sorry again @Silverage, but you really have to have 62GB free (on any hard disk) to get the files downloaded ...

 

I just dug out an old hard disk enclosure, dropped in a spare 100gb disk and connected it to my computer, but the downloader is only offering me C: to download to (the enclosure has turned up as K

 

Scratch that - I've just seen how to change the destination in the settings.

 

My USB drive is arriving later today but I thought I'd get ahead of the game by downloading all the files to my hard drive. I tried a few times but each time after a few gig it would fall over and report a decompression error.

I had the download set to go to my K: drive which is the hard drive in a cradle I attached via USB. Over 80gb of space on it, so I'm not sure what's going wrong. Do I have to tell it not to use the C: drive (which does not have enough space) somewhere as well?

 

Check the temp folder location in the settings

 

So this is how my settings look like.

How ever, when I download it, I select the usb drive to save it to...
So the app downloads the update into the temp folder and the usb thumbdrive

Green is the usb and the top is the temp folder, when I select the usb drive, the flow asks if the selected target is a usb target and if I want to format it into exFAT so it can be used directly

What you could to, is to make two folders on your usb 100gb drive until your usb thumbdrive arrives!

You do not plan to use your the 100gb one just for already downloading right? you want to copy the files from the 100gb usb hard drive to your usb stick?
to by the way copying from one usb to another will take a while

my recommendation is to create some space on your internal harddrive

or is this 100gb harddrive internal? because then I'm confused why it does not work ... (what format is it)

 

When I first start the update program, I get a load of errors like this:

 

nerver seen this error before, sorry mate.

looks like you run an older version of windows as well?

 

Still battling away with Windows 7 here! Maybe there's a fault with the hard drive caddy I'm using.

 

there is no way you can make space on your drive?

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like there will be a new update coming very soon. There's a notification out of a new feature for the Feb 23 version of the software. The Feb 11 version we have may well be superseded then.

Oh well, it's all good practice though!:-D

 

Where is the notification? can you share it? Can't find anything

 

All I want is the map update really - is that likely to change?

 

ah, the American software is a different one compared to the European one, as well they have a different release cycle

 

nice!

yes, copy everything in the temp folder into the root of the thumbdrive

 

nice!

yes, copy everything in the temp folder into the root of the thumbdrive

It's created a folder called IONIQ5_EU in the root of the hard drive where it's putting everything. Is this the temp folder?

 

yes, everything in the folder "IONIQ5_EU" on the usb drive

 

Perfect. Thanks for all the hand-holding - much appreciated. Just need the USB drive to arrive now.

The Updater is offering me the option of copying the files to the USB drive - is there any advantage to doing it this way over the manual method?

 

I never did it manual, so no clue

 

@Silverage I always copy myself, actually I use the 128 GB USB stick with still music on. But make sure to format with exFAT.

 

Once I plus the USB drive into the car: Will using a USB 2.0 drive do the upload onto the car a lot slower than if I used a USB 3.0 drive?

 

@SatOwner the IONIQ 5 has USB 2.0 port, so in the car it will be slower anyway. But I use an USB 3.0, so it is faster in the PC. An USB 2.0 drive will probably have the same speed as an USB 3.0 drive in the IONIQ 5, the USB 3.0 will never be slower than an USB 2.0 drive in the IONIQ 5.

 

FYI Just noticed that the charging limits had defaulted back to 100% after updating the app.
