I think it can be done but as Garmin_Nuvi mentioned the new map files are too big so the map would need to be shrunk and it would need to be unlocked before you can update the Kenwood.
Im not familiar with the 5220bt but I can see it looks similar to the DNX5120. I think you should be able to update the map using the mini USB connector on the back of the 5220bt. You will need a laptop and a to do this. The basic idea is you want to connect the laptop to the Kenwood so the laptop can access the internal files on the Kenwood and send over a new map. Its been a long time since I have done this so the steps here may be a little off but it should give you an idea of what you need to do.
When you connect the laptop to the Kenwood you should get a notification on the Kenwood screen asking something like Garmin GPS or Mass Storage. You may need to hit the navigation button to put the Kenwood in navigation mode before this option appears. When you do get the option to choose, select mass storage. From there the internal Garmin folders should appear. The first thing I woud do would be to copy the files from the Kenwood to the laptop so if you mess up anything you have a copy of of those original files. After you have backedup those Kenwood files then send over the new map file. As mentioned before the new map file you are sending over has to be unlocked and it has to be made smaller. For creating a smaller map look at this thread from repy #17 and after:

Another solution which I have never tried and dont know if it would work would be to open up the Kenwood unit and see if it has an internal SD card. Many Kenwood DNX units run the Garmin navigation off of an internal SD card. I dont know if the DNX5220BT functions that way but if it does have an internal SD card, it may be better to swap out the card with a larger SD card that could handle the full map. After that whenever you need to update the map you could do it through the micro SD connector and update the full map. Again this is all just speculation as I dont know if the DNX5220BT has an internal SD card but it may be worth a look.
