i have been using USB2 drive (and tested for USB3), and did register my unit. is there something about registering that changes the firmware? even before registering it was able to download the firmware.

what's the process for checking hifi unit firmware? i can't seem to find the proper service menu code. when doing the control box firmware, it shows on 1.1.6.

will go try again and get a video of what happens and post back (when trying to upgrade firmware)
