To update the software on your XZENT X-F280 Multimedia and Navigation System, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Download and prepare the USB flash drive for the update process.
- Download the self-extracting archive update file (exe file) from the XZENT website.
- Copy the self-extracting file to a USB flash drive (≤ 8 GB, FAT32 format).
- Double click the EXE file and extract it directly to the root directory of the USB flash drive.
- After the extraction is completed, you should have 2 files (GIMINI_PACK.BIN, sppf_mcu32.img) and a folder named "D2A-FW" on the USB flash drive.

Step 2: Update the APP and MCU.
- Connect the USB flash drive to USB-1 on the XZENT device.
- Go to Setup > Others > Install Software.
- If you don't see this function, you need to install at least v1.6 before proceeding.
- Confirm the installation and the device will auto-restart.
- Follow the sequence shown on the screen from A to G.
- Remove the USB flash drive when prompted.

Step 3: Update the DAB firmware.
- After completing the APP and MCU update, remove the GIMINI_PACK.BIN and sppf_mcu32.img files from the USB flash drive.
- Connect the USB flash drive to USB-1 while the device is still powered on.
- Select the DAB source to start the DAB FW update.
- A pop-up "Update Firmware" should appear for 3 seconds.
- Remove the USB flash drive when the progress bar reaches 100% of the DAB FW progress.

Step 4: Load factory settings.
- Go to Setup > Others > Load Factory > OK.

Your XZENT X-F280 Multimedia and Navigation System is now updated and ready for regular use.

Please note that if you encounter any issues during the update process, you may need to repeat certain steps or download and extract the files again. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and use a compatible USB flash drive.
