Default MXG GPS firmware update issue

I have sent this issue to Aim but was wondering if anybody has seen this issue yet...

Occasionally (random) I get a red bar at the bottom of the screen when I turn the MXG on and it say "update GPS", however when I try to connect to see real time data (and get to the firmware update page) the dash will not connect. Power cycle it and if the red bar is gone, I have no problems hooking up to the dash. Red bar there, can't hook up at all.

Ver. 1.12.24 firmware has a new GPS update in it. Perhaps it's failing?

How is your GPS connected to the dash? I saw a post someplace else where the person was using a 2-port data hub to connect the dash to the GPS and a smartycam, and the dash was failing to see the GPS or SC. The person connected the GPS direct to the dash and the firmware update applied ok and then the rest of the system worked after that.

First thing to do is make sure you have the latest update on RS3 and the latest firmware. Remember you have to have an internet connection and have the dash connected to the computer. The update is done though RS3.

It was doing it before when firmware was current, however I was able to update firmware and it appears all is updated now.
