How to do a Software up date on your Kenwood multimedia radio

[@bernardreynolds1568]

This works! I have followed instructions from several people and nothing ever worked until this. Great job thank you.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thank you, glad we could help.

[@jessstrunk6102]

I just did my DDX396 and followed your steps and it updated perfectly. Yes, it does delete all previous settings for radio stations and sound preferences, but it takes me about 15 min to go back and reset them all. Make sure your USB drive is formatted to FAT32 or it will not work as this video states exactly. I had that issue. Thanks for the guidance!

Hi mate, do you have DDX416BT v0.0104 file? I have updated it to the latest and the unit is now unusable.

[@aizulothman88]

Should the Apps FW be updated before the SYS FW?

[@Logic227Productions]

I went through the process of updating it and when it's finished, I go to check the system information to see if it actually updated but it's still on the same firmware and it says update beside it.

[@ShannonTooke]

I'm not sure if you can help me or not. I recently bought this stereo from Amazon. I had it installed; however, the usb cord was not attached. Should this have been in the box or is this an accessory and I should have purchased it seperately? Also, this stereo constantly changes to demo mode once you turn off engine. I cannot get any preset, time, or demo to switch. What would you suggest I do? Please please please help!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Shan T What model do you have? Check your red and yellow wires the sound like they are backwards.

[@ShannonTooke]

I bought the Kenwood eXcelon DDX593

[@ShannonTooke]

The USB cord was attached, it wasn't pulled out of the dash. I had to pull the cover off and *poof* there it was. I am still having the same problem. I updated the unit, per your instructions, and it's the same. When the car is shut off, it reverts back to demo mode. Nothing is saved. No FM stations, time, demo screen still comes on, and I cannot get the Sirius radio work. Does it still sound like the wires are backwards?

Shay Boyd it never goes to the update screen?did you use a Windows computer and formate the drive to fat32. Are you plugged into the USB that says iPod

[@shayboyd02]

Five Star Car Stereo I did format the drive to fat32 I'm using a dell computer but no it never went to the download screen

[@shayboyd02]

Or the update screen

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Shay Boyd is it plugged into the right USB

[@shayboyd02]

Five Star Car Stereo I believe so because he I plug it in it tells me to plug in or insert disk and when I plug it in it tells me now checking

[@JoeIsCrazyWillman]

Okay I'm already completely lost. Yours when you downloaded it gave you an option to save it. Mien did not, and told me it could not open the file. Mine downloads as a KRM file, while yours is a ROM file. Wtf? What program do I need to have to open this the way you did? I'm not finding any information exept that there "are many types of KRM" and you have to figure out which program you need in order to open it. Wtf.

[@coreywinsor4358]

Kinda same issue I’m having along with trying to proceed with the KRM file on the drive and then my unit won’t even recognize there is a flash drive in it

Hi would you be able to do a video on updating an Alpine ILX 007 radio? I am a big fan of your channel and like your videos. Thanks you!

Thank you would love too, I didn't know there was an update. Alpine as a company is kind of weird when it comes to updates, they don't like to do them all that much.

Cant believe that in this day and age you can't just plug your smart phone in the usb and update from the website. ....Pathetic Nice video though

[@domingod4648]

I agree. I don’t need to update, on mine. Everything seems to be working fine since 2017 but my Edge Tuner, Monitoring screen and everything else I have in the cab that’s digital can be updated through WiFi or Hotspot. It is truly ridiculous.

NEVER do a firmware update , unless you feel it has something you absolutely need in it.
