Software Update Troubleshooting

If the downloaded remote control software update does not complete successfully, perform these steps.

  • Make sure the update file you downloaded is intended for the remote control model you are updating. Only software update files intended for the specific remote control will update it.
  • Make sure the update file is a newer version than what is presently installed on the remote control. Only newer software update files can be installed on a remote control.
  • Make sure the update file was extracted from the .zip file and loaded onto the root of the USB flash drive. When properly prepared, the USB flash drive will have a directory named Garmin containing the update files.
  • Make sure the USB flash drive is formatted using the FAT32 file system. The stereo will not apply an update from a USB flash drive formatted using the NTFS file system.
  • If the remote control is part of a Fusion PartyBus™ network group, remove it from the group before starting the update.
