All Firmware files are compressed to make it easier and faster to download. When you download this file to your computer you will need a program to uncompress the files. This is called “UNZIPPING”. There are many free programs to do this and your computer may have already come with a program built in to do this. If you require a program we recommend WINZIP.

WINZIP is free and can be downloaded here: http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm Follow the instructions at the WinZip site for use of this utility. Please follow the instructions below for performing the update to your radio.

 

NOTE: YOU MUST LOAD THE NEW SOFTWARE ON EACH SD CARD. YOU CAN NOT COPY TO ONE CARD AND UPDATE MULTIPLE RADIO’S. USE THE SD CARD FROM EACH RADIO SEPARATELY.

THE FIRMWARE YOU DOWNLOADED IS SPECIFIC TO THE MODEL RADIO YOU HAVE SELECTED. DO NOT USE IN ANOTHER MODEL OF RADIO. THIS WILL CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE UNIT.

 

 

To update the firmware:

Remove the MAP SD card from the radio. Take note on how it came out, contacts up or down?

You need a Micro SD Card Adapter; this can be purchased at any office supply store. Insert the Micro SD into the adapter and plug it into your computer. This can be a SD Card slot or USB slot depending on your adapter and computer. Do not delete any files or format the SD card. If you do this you will delete the Map from your card. Follow the directions carefully.

Unzip the file you downloaded and copy all files to the MAP Micro SD CARD – This must be done for each radio.

You cannot move one SD card to another vehicle!

If you are asked “File already exists, is it ok to replace, answer “YES” When completed remove the Micro SD from the adapter and return to the vehicle. (This can be done on the bench too.)

Start with the key off. (Or Power off if on the bench)

Insert the updated SD card back into the radio exactly the same way it came out, Make sure it clicks in.

Turn the radio on. Wait for it to boot up. Hit the Menu button, Go to settings and go to the second page, push update system. Wait for the key pad to show up, then enter 543210 and hit the enter/return key (looks like an arrow)
select auto update, select yes to update all. The update will begin running.

Wait until the radio reboots completely and the Radio Screen comes up; do not stop the update,

When the radio restarts and returns to the Radio screen select menu. Select the Nav application, and restart if needed. Let run for a few moments, you will get a message that “Full License is activated”. After that Push the NAV hard button to return to the main menu.

If you get a message asking for an “Activation code“in the NAV you have not done the upgrade correctly. Re-copy the files from the download directly to the SD card from this radio and start over. If you still get this message go to the INFO screen under the SETTINGS menu and write down the UUID code on the bottom line. Call Tech Support or Customer Service. Advise them that you need an “Activation Code” and the model number of the radio. They will ask for the UUID number. Once you have the activation code, enter it into the keypad that comes up when you run the Navigation Application.

Next: Select Settings from the main menu, then go to page 2, press and hold SYSTEM RESET UNTIL THE RADIO SHUTS OFF, (this is extremely important) then let the radio reboot.

Your Radio now has all the latest features. Remember to set the volume for your nave system. This must be done while the navigation system is speaking. To do this enter a route, the press the I Icon in the top right corner of the Nav screen to get the system to repeat the last message. The volume set will be retained and will not change unless you adjust it again.

If for some reason your Navigation Application asks for an “ACTIVATION CODE” please call Audiovox Tech Support.

You’re finished. This process should not take more than about 5 or 10 minutes to complete.
