This is the update procedure:
Stilo Connect Nav+ (CN+) Firmware Update Procedure.
WARNING:It has been reported by some people, that carrying out the firmware update has permanently destroyed their CN+. This could possibly be because the procedure was not followed correctly, or because the car battery was partially discharged. Before proceeding, decide whether you really want the update, and that your battery is not discharged.
Here's a link for the version 9.8 Update disc. You will need to burn it onto a good quality, blank CD-R at slow speed. http://rapidshare.com/files/276572663/CN98.ISO.html
This is the Update procedure:
NOTE: Some information stored in memory will be erased once this update starts.
You must follow the instructions exactly as follows:
- Remove the SIM card then switch the ignition on (DO NOT start the engine).
- Once the CN+ has fully started, clear any error messages using the “ESCAPE” button.
- Remove any map or music CD then turn the CN+ off using the “ON” button.
- Once the CN+ has fully shut down, turn it back on using the “ON” button and clear any error messages using the “ESCAPE” button.
- Insert the Update CD and wait for the display to show “CD Error”. Clear this message using the “ESCAPE” button.
- Turn the CN+ off by pressing the “ON” button.
- Remove the ignition key and then wait about 30 seconds.
- With the ignition key still removed, switch the CN+ on using the “ON” button.
- The Update procedure should begin. DO NOT switch the CN+ off during the procedure. The update may stop for a few moments a few times, this is normal. When completed, the blue FIAT logo will appear on the screen and the CD will be ejected automatically.
- Remove the CD then switch the CN+ off using the “ON” button.
If the update procedure has been successful, when you switch the CN+ back on, it should show 9.8 in the bottom right hand corner of the blue Fiat screen.
NOTE: If the update procedure permanently hangs at 50%, or does not complete successfully for any reason, you will probably now have a corrupted flash and a completely dead CN+. It has been reported that pressing buttons 3 then 4 then 5 then 6 then “TEL” will flash all the front panel lights twice and may allow the update to resume. I have never needed to try this, so I don’t know if it works or not. Your only other option though, would be to send the unit to Magneti Marelli in Italy for repair, or to replace the CN+.
After you've updated the firmware, the language of the CN+ will have reverted to Italian. To change the language, you will need the Setup disc.
Here's a link for the Setup disc. You will need to burn it onto a good quality, blank CD-R at slow speed. http://rapidshare.com/files/276567596/CN_Setup.zip
This is the procedure to change the language:
- Switch the ignition on.
- As soon as the CN+ starts, insert the Setup CD and allow the CN+ to boot up normally.
- Read and clear any warning messages using the “ESCAPE” button.
- Press "SETUP" then "LANGUAGE" then choose your language.
- Highlight “OK” then press “ENTER” to accept the new language.
- Read and follow the warning messages as appropriate. When complete, press “ESCAPE” to clear the final message.
- Eject the Setup CD.
