GEN 5.0 Multimedia Update

The 5th generation of GEN 5.0 multimedia devices (radios, head units) were installed in Kia and Hyundai cars in 2016-2020. The GEN 5.0 platform uses OS Android 4.2 and has both 7″ and 8″screens.

In previous years car manufacturers installed radios of the older generations: GEN 1.0, GEN 2.0, GEN 4.0 as well as Gen5W (since 2019).

How To Find Out GEN 5.0 Software Version

1. Turn on the multimedia device.
2. Press once the Setup button on the front panel and scroll to the bottom of the list. The System Information button will appear, click it. The System Information or System Information or Version Information or General Settings window will open (depending on a device model).
3. The Software Version is shown in the line “SW Version” or “S/W Ver.” or “System S/W”. For example, TL.EUR.SOP.V112.191217.STD_M.
4. Determine a type of your GEN 5.0 radio device by the software version:

• xx.EUR.SOP.xxx.x.xxxxxx, xx.EUR.SOP.xxx.xx.xxxxxx (LG)
• xx.EUR.SOP.Vxxx.xx.xxxx.STD_M (Mobis with SD Card & Navi)
• xx.EUR.SOP.Vxxx.xx.xxxx.DAU_A (Mobis without SD Card & Navi)
• xx_PIO.GEN.SOP.xxx.x.xxxxxx.STD_M (Motrex)
• (and others)

The GEN 5.0 radio (LG IAH8434UMNG or Mobis ADB10H0RE, OS Android 4.2) is installed.
For example, UM_19MY.EUR.SOP.003.20.180418.STD_M, TLFL.EUR.SOP.V112.200401.STD_M, QLPE.EUR.SOP.V096.180503.DAU_A.

Note: The six digits at the end of the version show the build date of this version. For example, the firmware UM_19MY.EUR.SOP.014.20.221117.STD_M was compiled on November 22, 2022.
