Normal updates are performed through the micro SD (EDIT** NOT USB) slot, and need to be the only thing on the card, I've never had an issue this way.
Is it not a micro sd slot you’re referring too?
Dave. are we expecting future updates to be done through the USB port rather than the micro SD card for future releases? Its a real pain having to take the trim off to update the FW. I have not been able to update the firmware since its been in, i am still on the version shipped with the device.
If your unit is working fine for your setup then don't worry about the updates, it's only to fix certain issues. I keep mine updated, but not because I need to just for making sure I'm aware of them.
for the most part, it does work fine. but i get fairly regular lock ups, where is have to hold the button in to restart it.
Where have you installed it?
You installed it for me, its behind the heater controls.
Arrr, yeah I've now stopped putting it there. Originally you needed access directly to the box to update it, so a good fit was in that location, and that extender wouldn't help as you'd still need to get to the box. Now though you can update without direct access, so the extra work involved in putting it on top of the glovebox enables you to use the extender and no need to remove any panels. So it could be moved to the glovebox top and the extender fitted and updated that way, but for the sake of the once in a while update it's possible not worth it now. Up until this latest issue with the latest ios there hasn't been an update in over a year.
That's very very bad and sad as we had all blown their trumpet on quality of support..have you tried flaming them on their FB page!-Update on my box issue regarding the update.
Basically it's bricked and looks like there is no solution to remedy this! Mr12volt haven't come up with any solution whats-so-ever, apart from using a different memory stick and reformatting etc, the sort of stuff I'd do anyway and have tried. They also haven't even bothered to open my last message to them on 1st December. To say that I'm an affiliate of theirs as well, although I wouldn't expect any better treatment anyway, and I still can't get an answer isn't good at all.
I now have no choice other than to rip it all out and chuck it in the bin as e-waste
