Updating the Software as Part of a Garmin Network Update

If the stereo is connected to the same Garmin BlueNet™ network or Garmin® Marine Network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter, you can perform a network update on the chartplotter to update all of the connected Garmin devices and Fusion Apollo™ stereos.

NOTE: A stereo must be running software version 6.20 or later to receive an update over the network. If your stereo is running an earlier software version, you should disconnect it from the network and update it using a USB flash drive before reconnecting and trying a network update.
NOTE: If you have an NRX remote control or a DAB module connected to the stereo, it is not updated as part a marine network update. You must perform updates to those devices individually (Update Options ).
  1. If needed, go to garmin.com/manuals and locate the latest version of the owner's manual for your connected chartplotter.
  2. Go to garmin.com/support/software/marine/ to download the latest marine update .

    You must download the update and install it using a memory card on the chartplotter. Updating the marine network using the ActiveCaptain® app does not update connected Fusion Apollo stereos.

  3. Follow the directions in the chartplotter owner's manual for performing a network update.

    The software is updated on all of your connected devices, including the stereo.
