Cool Harmon/Kardon Software Upgrade

Following directions to upgrade the radio software for my 2006 Ultra per HD website. Downloaded zip file and extracted the two files. How do I save these two files in a "standard format", "iTunes", or MP3?

One file is is a "upg", the other is a "bin" file.

Suggestions?

you have to burn those files to a CD then drop the CD in the headunit.

Zohan,

You do not need to save them in a standard format. They are already in the correct format for the radio. What the instructions say is to BURN them to CD in a Standard Format (HFS Plus/ISO 9660). That essentially says that what ever software you use to burn the files to the CD has to support one of those 2 standards. It does NOT change the file types or anything, it is just the way they get burned.

You might want to refer to https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...e-upgrade.html for some more detail on the instructions.

also you want to burn/record at 16x speed and/or below. Any higher and my experience as well as others is it's hit and miss as to whether the headunit will read the CD.

Cdrw is fine as long as you close session. Better to use cdr

Unhappy

Bought new Sony CD-Rs and burned using Windows XP. After I insert disk, no other message than "Verifying DSP Image" shows. Followed directions and even made sure speed was correct and still software will not upgrade.

Zohan, I had a similar issue when I did this a while back. I burned the CD with a different piece of software, and that fixed it for me. Try switching your burner software and see if that helps.
