CRC Checksum Failed Message after Firmware Update

[radargeek]

Perhaps a future voice pack update could change that message to something like "Configuration Checksum Bad, Restore Defaults" so it's clear it's the configuration and not the firmware that has the bad checksum. Or to make it clearer for non-techies, "Configuration is invalid, Restore Defaults."

CRC stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check, which is just an algorithm for generating checksums.

I just remembered that my dashcam was recording when I did my update, so I pulled the footage, so you can hear what it sounds like. In my case, I had a new config.alp already on the USB, so immediately after the "Checksum Failed" it loaded the new config and said "Data Stored" and everything was set back the way I wanted.
