    I just did my DDX396 and followed your steps and it updated perfectly. Yes, it does delete all previous settings for radio stations and sound preferences, but it takes me about 15 min to go back and reset them all. Make sure your USB drive is formatted to FAT32 or it will not work as this video states exactly. I had that issue. Thanks for the guidance!

    I'm not sure if you can help me or not. I recently bought this stereo from Amazon. I had it installed; however, the usb cord was not attached. Should this have been in the box or is this an accessory and I should have purchased it seperately? Also, this stereo constantly changes to demo mode once you turn off engine. I cannot get any preset, time, or demo to switch. What would you suggest I do? Please please please help!

    The USB cord was attached, it wasn't pulled out of the dash. I had to pull the cover off and *poof* there it was. I am still having the same problem. I updated the unit, per your instructions, and it's the same. When the car is shut off, it reverts back to demo mode. Nothing is saved. No FM stations, time, demo screen still comes on, and I cannot get the Sirius radio work. Does it still sound like the wires are backwards?

    Okay I'm already completely lost. Yours when you downloaded it gave you an option to save it. Mien did not, and told me it could not open the file. Mine downloads as a KRM file, while yours is a ROM file. Wtf? What program do I need to have to open this the way you did? I'm not finding any information exept that there "are many types of KRM" and you have to figure out which program you need in order to open it. Wtf.
