I downloaded the update from here for my 998 and it won't install when I put the sd card in the unit. Is there steps that need to be taken. Or is it just not recognizing the file name because its not a series of numbers and letters.
Long story short I bought this unit from a friend and he didn't get a chance to update it. I don't want to register it under my current Humm. account as he still has the HB select on it for another year and would take care of any issues I would have with it. And he lives a distance away so I would have to mail him an SD card and so on. i wanted to save the hassel!
Thanks,
Paul

Paul make sure you have only the update on your card.
You can use either the long name file or the 6.180 file. But only one or the other.
1) Power on your unit
2) Restore Factory defaults
3) power off the unit
4) put in the sd card
5) power on the unit
6) wait until the update is done (can take a bit for the 26 mb file)
7) restore factory defaults (again)
8) remove card
