it looks like you need a dealer account to download firmware from the xpresskit web site. is this correct? if so, can you provide firmware files?

You can download the firmware needed at www.xpresskit.com - you must have a XK loader though. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001XTZBHO?pc_redir=1396571242&robot;_redir=1

It is possible to get the firmware without a dealer account. Simply install the software (browser plugin), and then choose your car model and year. The plugin will then flash the dball

You will need the Directed Electronics Inc XKLOADER2 XpressKit to flash the unit. I was able to complete the flash without a dealer account. The instructions are provided with the XKLOADER2. Once you program your unit it is a 5 minute install if you use a wiring harness.

Yes but needs to be programmed with the correct firmware before installation. Programming requires an xkloader2.

Good question... Once I installed it I updated the firmware and I do not remember the firmware it shipped with. Chances are it is not the latest as I had the choice to update it out of the box...

Works fine for me. Never seen it. For almost an year restarted it only two times to upgrade the firmware.

I ordered this camera a month ago and it came with 1.14.1.21 firmware installed. I also had a FI9805 from a previous order that I had to install the latest firmware on to. The process was simple and we'll documented on their site.

How can you tell which firmware you currently have? I bought my A3 on ebay, used.No problems. I did some tentative poking around in the menus, but can find no obvious way to see the current firmware version. Thanks

Yes it will work but I would recommend the xpresskit DLPK instead of this as it does not require a firmware flash and does everything minus the window roll up usually for cheaper too.

After purchasing this unit, head over to directechs.com or xpresskit.com (xpresskit.com is changing to directechs.com) and download the flash program. All the firmware you need will be on their website. Follow all instructions when plugging the loader into the computer and flashing the dball2.

You should be able to find the firmware on the Internet if you type in the name of the product. I'm not certain though! Sorry.

You need to install the video cable that matches your phone and install the firmware update. Depending on your car and your phone, you may also have to install a parking break bypass cable (which you shouldn't use while driving, but I found that I couldn't look at video even while stopped and parking brake engaged unless I installed that bypass cable. The first firmware update went fine for me and I was able to see video and run apps, but now the newer firmware upgrade has put me back in plain old radio mode again. Followed all the instructions to the letter, but to no avail. I'm going to try disconnecting power and hopefully resetting the whole system, and then will try updating firmware again. if that doesn't work, think I'll try to ship this piece of junk back to Pioneer.

yes you can, it's peer to peer. but for updating the firmware you need a WiFi which connected to the internet

To take the 5 answers so far, and chime in with my own answer. I am also looking at possibly buying this unit, and I did some searching around. Firmware updates for the radio (not including maps) are free from the JVC website. When a map update becomes available (there isn't one for this unit, yet) they will include it on the support page and forward you to Navteq (navigation com). http://www3.jvckenwood.com/english/car/support/navi/nt500hdt/index.html Updates for Similar (older models of JVC in-dash nav units) are $139. Looks like the updates come out about every 18 to 24 months. One example: http://www3.jvckenwood.com/english/car/support/navi/nt1/us/index.html

I don't know. I bought one from a private party and updated the firmware myself. It's pretty easy to do. Some camera dealers sell them without updated firmware and it is suggested you check Fuji's website to check for them. Its a good habit to get into especially with a new camera. I also uploaded firmware updates for my Fujifilm X-Pro Lenses, the firmware corrected the functioning in certain areas. So, if you get a Fujifilm camera be prepared to check periodically for the updates since they are always improving their products. Its a good thing Amazon sent me a email about, it reminded me to check on the Fujifilm website! I don't know. I bought one from a private party and updated the firmware myself.

There are different firmware revisions depending on the year and model of vehicle. Check out xpresskit.com under products, nexgen series, db-all to see what firmware applies to your application. As Jason T said, you need a loader to change the firmware if the one you specified isn't for your vehicle.

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q
