Is it an update for the radio, or the ECU?

That's what I would like to know. Am I going to get better radio stations? No commercials? I don't get it.

my radio seems to work well but many times I hear people doing update having troubles. I think since mine ain't broke I won't fix it.

Default Radio update

They told me it would fix the problem of my clock losing time (about a minute a week) but it didn't fix it. Very poor qualityu piece of high priced electronics if you ask me.

Was something wrong with your radio to make you update it? If not then why would you do it?

The update 8.1.9 is the update for the clock losing time. The HD site will tell you how to check and see what software version you have installed. Had that problem with the radio on my SG and works fine now. As posted before if the cd gets stuck pull the maxi fuse wait 5 min
