Greetings,
I have a very old Garmin (Kenwood DNX 8120 from 2008). I've been able to keep it updated for 15 years by using MapInstall to copy just 3-4 tiles from each new unlocked City Navigator North America map. These few region maps cover much more than the areas I drive in. I then copy the small gmapsupp.img to the Kenwood using the rear USB cable plugged into a Windows laptop (another benefit of the ...

Hey guys,
I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction for the above unit's latest maps. I know there is Waze and Google maps, but I prefer the Garmin ones. Thank you

A week ago, I bought myself a Hyundai i20 with built in GPS, type Kenwood DNX3160BT.
I went first to the Kenwood website, looking for updates and found them. A file named S_V3_1_0008_0900.zip which was around 600MB.
I placed this file on a SDcard and went to my car. My Kenwood DNX3160BT said that there were new updates found on the SDcard and asked me if I wanted to install / update it. I clicked ...

Ok I am hoping to update my map. I am not sure even if there is an available update for my Kenwood. When i check in Garmin express it says map updates available but when i try to get it, it says to check back later and pricing for map updates is currently unavailable. I read on Kenwood that it said not all devices will have map updates, but its from 2018 so i little ...

Hi, I downloaded and tried this map on my Kenwood DNX715WB car Garmin navigator. Unfortunately it did not work. I copied the downloaded gmapsupp.img and jcv file directly to the SD card.
Any ideas why it did not work? Maybe the unlock code is wrong...
Thanks.

A new Garmin map has been realized for the Kenwood DNX8180DABS. Normally the device uses NTU maps. However, these new NTU maps do not work on this device, only if you copy the GarminDevice.xml from this device to an SD card and then download it via GarminExpress. However, this NTU map is then at least 1 year or much older.

Download the map and then unzip it once with the latest WinRar.
Then copy the ...

Hello,

New user here. My head unit has the 2016 map on it. Following the Kenwood site instructions, the suggested map that came up when
I plugged in my SD card into Garmin Express was City Navigator North America NT 2021-Kenwood Update.

Searched the maps folder for this and did not find. How can I check to see if any of the other maps are compatible with my head unit?

Thank you for any info.

How do I load this updated maps to a Kenwood DNX-9190DABS?

I have been using DNX571HD with unlocked maps from my LT unit. Firmware in it is 30.04.2015 Garmin Navigation Software V2.20.
05.04.2019 Garmin Navigation Software V2.30 is available now but haven't updated firmware over worries unlock maps my stop working. Does anyone know if this would be the case?
Thank you

trying to get into testmode for DNX570HD. Manual says press reset+TEL button. It doesnt work. tried holding it, not holding it, TEL+RESET, RESET+TEL..all boot to the KENWOOD splash screen then the default SET screen. I need to see if the NVRAM for NAV checks out in my unit. Getting weird "image cannot be loaded" tiles where icons should be.
