Your PhatBox/Music Keg has firmware programmed inside
of it. It has already been setup at the factory to work with your car stereo
head unit.
PhatNoise periodically releases updates to the firmware in order to fix
problems or to provide feature upgrades. A notice of firmware updates
may appear on the PhatNoise website, or you may be contacted via the email
address you registered with PhatNoise when you loaded your PhatNoise Music
Manager Software onto your PC.
In the event of a firmware update, follow these steps.
Part I: At Your Computer
Insert the DMS cartridge into the USB Cradle.
1. Launch the PhatNoise Music Manager by double-clicking the icon on your
desktop. Press the Device button.
2. Click the text PhatNoise DMS and then press the GO button.
3. Press the Hardware Options button.
4.Please ensure the Installed Product is set to the PhatNoise product
that you own.
5. Press the Start Wizard button to begin the update process.
6. The wizard will begin. Press Next to skip the introductory screen.
7. Press the Check for Updates from PhatNoise Website button to
load the latest set of head unit firmware available for download. Note:
if the Version number of the firmware package is higher than the version
number in your Current Setup, it is newer firmware. Left click on
the firmware package you want to download (there may be only one).
8. Press the Next button (A). The window will display information
about this particular version of firmware(B).
9. Press the Next button one more time. This screen summarizes
the options you have chosen. Press Update PhatNoise DMS when you
are done, and the Firmware will be downloaded to your DMS Cartridge.
Make sure you are choosing the correct options.
Reprogramming the PhatBox/Music Keg for an incorrect head unit may damage
your system!
The wizard will close.
10. Now press the Save/Eject DMS button.
Part II: In Your Car
After completing the above steps, your DMS cartridge should be set to
reprogram the PhatBox/Music Keg with the firmware you just downloaded.
The PhatBox/Music Keg can now be updated using the following steps:
While your car radio is off, insert the DMS cartridge firmly into
your PhatBox/Music Keg.
Turn your ignition key to the ACCESSORY position so that your
radio turns on. This causes the PhatBox/Music Keg to turn on and soon
begin programming itself with the new firmware. Look at the lights on
the front panel of the PhatBox/Music Keg; if the green light is blinking
continuously, a couple times per second, then the programming is in
progress. This will take about 7 minutes to complete.
Turn your ignition key back to the OFF position, and remove
the ignition key -- this will cause your radio to turn off. Verify that
the PhatBox/Music Keg's green light is still blinking.
Do not pull the cartridge out while the lights
are blinking.
When the PhatBox/Music Keg is done reprogramming, all the PhatBox/Music
Keg lights will turn off. Make sure the lights stay off for at least
10 seconds.
Now turn your ignition key to the ACCESSORY position, turning
on the radio.
(For Kenwood car stereos only) Press the RESET button on your
car stereo.
Press the Source button on your car stereo to select CD changer mode
-- your car stereo should now recognize the PhatBox/Music Keg with its
new firmware.
