The process is simple. We take a flash drive min 8gb, format it in FAT32. Next, download the desired archive
Next, I unpacked the archive to a USB flash drive and started updating. I did everything according to the instructions:
Disabled check for updates
Shut off then start the car
I inserted the USB flash drive and the update process began. During the process, the radio may reboot several times. Further, to continue the installation at some point, it will be necessary to turn on / off the dimensions 3 times.
At the end of the installation, I saw a blue screen with an inscription that the new software was installed. The whole procedure took about 50 minutes. I pulled out the flash drive, turned it off and started the car again.
After the update, the CAR PLAY option appeared in the menu.
