Despite the comments that its a new installation procedure - it looks the same to me.

 

Non Porsche vehicles in the list retain the cd changer (some models) and that is a change for some.....

 

how do you do the upgrade? I have the original firm ware from the initial group buy?

 

Read the page I linked there. It's all explained in detail.

Download file, extract to flash drive, put correct file in root directory of flash drive (not in a folder), and hook it up to the USB port on the Dension. Follow the instructions!

You should have upgraded at least twice by now!!!!

1.00 - 1.05 - 2.02/2.03 and now 2.05

DO IT!

(not for CDR24 though - stay with 1.05 for those with CDR24 head units)

 

What is the difference from 2.03 to 2.05?

 

its listed above - thats why i posted it

 

Is this a new bug? Mine was fixed with the 2.03 update and the random function stays random....I don't want to introduce a new bug that was already fixed???

 

Can you go direct from v 1.0 to v 2.05?

 

Yes.

No one should be still using 1.00.

 

Just attempted the upgrade. The file G5_B_UPD.ROM is gone from my flash drive. The file GW.EES.BIN does NOT appear on my flash drive. My iPod is not usuable. On my display (Porsche 997) CD List shows NO CD for 1-4 AUX for 5, & no USB for 6. Where did I go wrong? I allowed 5 minutes for the upgrade but don't know where to look for confirmation.

 

Reset, reset again, reset again....that ought to do it! Post pics of the screens when you can.

 

updated: worked the first time. ipod screen flashed, turned off pcm, locked car, waited, turned it back on and...

GUI - looks the same to me... BUT...

all the the playlists, artists, albums load lightening quick compared to before. So much so that it was immediately noticable. For that alone, a worthy upgrade

my 2 cents
