  Note! The software download is carried out in the following order depending on whether the accessories HU radio, amplifier and subwoofer have been installed at the same time, whether amplifier and subwoofer have been installed at the same time, or if just the subwoofer has been installed.

  
  

Applies if HU radio (AUM), amplifier and subwoofer have been installed:

First download ADD AMPLIFIER.

Then download ADD SUBWOOFER.

Finally, download ADD AUM.

Applies if amplifier and subwoofer have been installed (existing HU radio):

First download ADD AMPLIFIER.

Then download ADD SUBWOOFER.

Finally, download RELOAD AUM / UPGRADE AUM. This is so that the radio shall also obtain the correct software in combination with the new amplifier and subwoofer.

Applies if only subwoofer has been installed (existing HU radio and amplifier):

First download ADD SUBWOOFER.

Then download RELOAD AUM / UPGRADE AUM. This is so that the radio shall also obtain the correct software in combination with the new subwoofer.
