AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

[CommandrKeen]

I did download and apply the ucsthifi.bin file. I think I know what the problem may be, and will have to test it after work today. I use the same USB stick for all my ALP files. I had both the original control set file and the ucsthifi.bin files loaded on the stick. I wonder if having both files on the USB stick caused some confusion. I re-downloaded my firmware, ucsthifi.bin, voicepck.alp, and setup.alp files and deleted the old control set file. I'll let you know if this solves the problem.

I did the update again just now with a freshly downloaded set of files and still the buttons on the hi-fi control set don't work. The led light continues to blink, parking sensors work, laser defense works, just the control set buttons don't. Any suggestions?

I am out at the moment. I will PM you something to try in the morning. In the mean time can you send me a video of what is happening when you press and hold the menu button?

[CommandrKeen]

Sure thing. I sent a PM with the video.

BRD, as CommandrKeen asked, what's the advantage of performing the warmup at startup? What exactly does it do -- is it just a self-test?

New Update is getting ready to be rolled out. It will take 24-48 hours for everyone's unit to be activated for this update. Please try to wait for the update email informing you that the update is ready for you.
