Does this "updated" model fix the constant red ring of death of the older model?

I haven't had the red ring since using this model. It has worked great for me. As to fixing things with this one, I am sure they have updated some things.

Yes, it was highly recommended by a friend w/older model. Says he's had his for 7 years and never rebooted. I'm very happy with mine. Bob J

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

None. I bought this unit in September, I did the update and it works fine except for the charging port it has a shortage and works whenever. I wouldn't recommend nor buy another model like this.

Not if you have the newest model....that was a problem that I had ran into myself.

Since my review quite some time ago, the unit has been improved. Even our unit, which has subsequently been supplanted by newer models, has had firmware updates which have solved most of the problems I originally found. I still find the interface completely non-intuitive. But if you study the manual, it all works.

All I know is the older models have a problem with the hinges breaking. I don't know if they have solved this problem or not.

Call the company - a newer model is supposed to do this, but this one doesn't.

I got the old version. Maybe the new version is improved based on past comments?

Ours routinely showed a '0' 10 months after using it began beeping and warning with "ERR" message. After changing batteries,fiddling with, doing online research, and even called our local fire department (non-emergency number), we determined it was irreparably broken. I went to the nearest kmart and bought a First Alert (at 10 pm), because I was nervous we might have had a CO problem. We didn't. I would not recommend this model.

No, unfortunately not. We have the same problem and researched it - it is a fixed setting on the model we bought.

I had no problem with mine. I replaced an earlier model and the installation was very easy and I am very happy with the product. I suggest you notify them and ask them to send a replacement.

Mine stopped working long before it needed an update. Toss it and buy a Garmen.

Sounds like you have a defective one. I have never had a single problem with model. I would call the company and get a replacement.

I bought mine in 2013 but am uncertain of whether or not I have that update. Same model and it works great. If you can tell me how to tell if it's the same update I would be happy to check for you.

I have searched and searched for upgrades for this model and have yet to find anything...
