Updating the Remote Control Software Using a USB Flash Drive

You can update the remote control software using a USB flash drive through a compatible stereo on the network.

NOTICE

Do not turn off the device or disconnect the power during a software update. Turning off the power during a software update may cause the device to become unresponsive.

NOTE:
  • You cannot update the software using a USB flash drive formatted using the NTFS file system. If you encounter problems updating the device, format the USB flash drive using FAT32 and try the update process again.
  • The device may restart a few times when updating. This is normal.
  • You can program only newer versions of software on the device.
  1. Go to the software page for your device on support.garmin.com, and download the update file.
  2. Extract contents of the .zip file to the root of your USB storage device.

    The contents of the software update are contained in a folder named Garmin.

  3. Insert the USB storage device in the USB port of a compatible Fusion PartyBus™ stereo on the network.
  4. On the ERX400, select Menu button > SETTINGS.
  5. Select the name of the remote control.
  6. Select UPDATE > ACCESSORIES > ERX REMOTE.
    TIP: If the stereo with the USB storage device has a screen, you can also start the remote control update process form the UPDATE settings menu of the stereo.

    The stereo transfers the update file to the remote control over the network, the remote control updates the software, and then restarts.
