All Prior Advent Firmware Updates are
included in this version. There is no need to upgrade to any version prior to
this before using this firmware.
This is a maintenance update to
address the following items:
Vehicle selection is required for proper operation.
After Update see Vehicle selection instructions.
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 A USB STICK. THE FIRMWARE YOU DOWNLOADED IS SPECIFIC TO THE MODEL
PRODUCT YOU HAVE SELECTED.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ARE BASED UPON USING A WINDOWS BASED OPERATING COMPUTER. APPLE USERS MAY HAVE
DIFFERENT STEPS NEEDED. WE RECOMMEND USING A PC FOR DOWNLOADING, FORMATTING OF
THE USB, AND UNZIPPING THE FILES ARE THE NAV SYSTEMS RUN ON A WINDOWS BASED
