Troubleshooting

When "NO FILE" is displayed

  • Check if the updater is on the top of hierarchy.
  • Check if the updater file name is appropriate for the model to update.

If "WAIT" is displayed more than 5 minutes, you may fail the firmware update. In this case, check the following items:

  • Pull out the USB memory and insert it again.
  • Check if your USB memory has security function. If so, use the one without security function.
  • Your USB memory may have problem. Update with another USB memory.
  • The firmware is not downloaded and copied to the USB memory successfully. Download and copy it again.

Precautions

  • Be sure to park the vehicle in a safe place before updating. Keep the engine running in order to prevent battery from running out.
  • Do not turn off the engine or CD/USB receiver power while updating. Update cannot be performed correctly and the CD/USB receiver may become unusable.
