I also own a DNX 5330BT.
Updating is fairly easy.
Most of the information you need are right here in this forum.
I shall help you on the first 2 questions:
1) Updating the software of the Garmin requires you to update the software for the DNX 5330BT as it comes in one update file.
Download the update file from Kenwood website.
The update will take quite a while, so you need to keep your engine running until the update completes.
2) For map updating, you will just need to follow the exact folder placement as what you currently have on your external micro sd card.
You will see a "Garmin" folder when you first view the micro sd card.
Inside the "Garmin" folder is where you need to place your map's gmapsupp.img file.
Your junction view file goes directly into the JCV folder.
*Note: Do note that not all map IMG are named as GMAPSUPP.IMG.
Some are named GMAPPROM.IMG and etc.
You can get your updated maps from here... [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
First of all thanks for your help I was struggling for almost 9 months without a solution. Now its fixed and I am very happy for that.
Updating the software was fairly easy as you said but one thing to take note
You have to make sure that your thumb drive is FAT32 formatted. Else issues with reading the firmware file. (I used NTFS first didn't work but FAT32 did the trick)
Updating the MAP was exactly as you mentioned above, but I had to change the file name from GMAPPROM.IMG to GMAPSUPP.IMG (remember to unlocked it twice).
Just another question, and probably its off topic. Did you change the splash screen image of your kenwood DNX5330BT?
Oops forgot to mention, A big thanks to Kenta2 as well for having the latest map available for the community.
Good Job Kenta2, keep up the good work
Good Job Hantu-Raya, keep helping newbie like me
