This is the second priority on the list of things to get figured out. The 1st is the airbag light.

thanks
This unit is huge in China (not just for Lexus) and they are obviously running Chinese navigation software. This system runs on a Microsoft Windows platform, so anything that can run on that platform can run on this system. Although I have not verified its ability to run Korean software, I am confident that it can handle it.

1st software update is out this week addressing a couple of the concerns. There will be more to come with added features and benefits for all those who bought early. We have a group buy going right now that ends tomorrow that will save our clients HUNDREDS of dollars. This is an introductory offer that won't be coming back around.

Thanks for addressing, Mat. Did you successfully update your desk model?

Any news on when we can get the actual firmware file with instructions?

I have not received the file yet from Fly Audio. They have been busy updating their website with some new information.

As soon as I get the file I will perform the update and then pass along any tips that I find along the way.

I do know their instructions for upgrading the BIOS is posted: http://flyaudio.us/forum/12-tech-tri...e-instructions I tried getting into that screen like they show and it was easy. (now if I can just locate a Lexus logo file somewhere... I'll be able to use the same screen to update that...... I think) Sorry. No BIOS upgrade file to be found yet.

What are you trying to do? Have the Lexus logo at startup? If so, I posted how to do that a couple posts up. If you are trying to do something else, let me know and I can try and help.

Are they going to update the bluetooth software to have a phonebook option at least? That would be a great addon if they could do that. Dailing by number will be very dangerous while driving and I'm sure not all of us can remember all those phone numbers.

I can pass that recommendation along to them. You can do it as well by emailing "sales@flyaudio.us" .

Can't wait to see how the new update goes!

im trying the upgrade now but i dont seem to have a BIOS file like what it showed at the end of the second video, the last step before the upgrade is complete... has anyone else had this problem?

and now im trying to reconnect the USB and my laptop says that the device malfunctioned. i pugged the cable into all 3 usb ports and it said the same thing. i wish i knew more about computers!!!

ohh and my navi randomly said that it had performed an illegal action and had to be shut down. i thought it would start back up after that but now it says the file cant be found so idk what to do...

looks like your device's system files are missing, if the update did not go through completely then you might have a problem. Try turning off the Nav and turn it back on and then un-install all the driver that was installed on your laptop.
