Update Methods
- Check Battery Voltage: The update process puts a heavy load on the battery. Ensure your car battery is healthy. If your battery is old, connect a trickle charger during the update.
- Don't Interrupt: Never switch off the ignition while the system is writing data to the hard drive.
- Firmware First: If you are jumping from a very old version (e.g., V8) to the newest (V17/18), check if you need a firmware patch. Sometimes the map data structure changes, and the unit needs a software update before it can read the new maps.
