- Insert the USB flash drive into a single USB connector of the head unit.
(The head unit must be turned on. If it is turned off or in sleep mode, turn it on)
- Wait for a pop-up window to appear with a request for a firmware update and a countdown and click OK
Do not turn off the head unit during the update, do not put it to sleep mode. This can affect the firmware update process and could cause issues
- Wait for the appearance of a GREEN prompt with an increasing time. This is the end of the head unit firmware procedure. At this stage, you need to disconnect the USB drive and wait for the head unit to restart and your new boot animation should display
