eddie200112 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 So i bought my 8100NEX in January and upgraded the firmware to 1.05. I just this week installed it into my wifes van and noticed a new firmware v1.09 came out. I only have the USB port #2 connected to an external port so in order to get access to USB port #1 i have to take the receiver out. Is there any significant upgrades to make this upgrade worth the effort? We use android phones and the couple things on the official change log seemed to pertain to iphone functionality. really annoying they dont allow an update over the SD card.

ex-28 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 i would just pull it out and wire up a usb cord , do it once and its always there , i wired up all my connections the 1st time to avoid this very issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie, are you sure you can't upgrade via SD card slot in the front? I have an 8200NEX, and I was able to do it. I was under the impression that the only difference between yours and mine is that you can use Aha Radio & I can't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression that the only difference between yours and mine is that you can use Aha Radio & I can't. I was wondering the same thing. I have an 8100 and I could have sworn that the last time I upgraded, I just used an SD card in front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
9tr3g Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 You can use sd. That's how I did my 8100. Hit the cd button like your putting the cd in and slot is there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
