ZE-NC2010 Installation Guide Software Update - Zenec

ZE-NC2010 Installation Guide Software Update
Preparation:
-Carefully read the entire installation guide and keep it nearby for reference.
-You need the latest device-specific ZENEC update-set, which consist of three USB-sticks.
The update preparations are described in a separate „preparations for update“ guide (recommended read
for fist-time updaters).
-If you are going to prepare the USB data carriers yourself make sure they are FAT32 formatted, if that isn’t
the case you need to reformat and copy the necessary files again (see above mentioned prep guide).
Important information:
• Do not disconnect the device from the power supply during transfer communication of the updates. Also make
sure that it doesn’t get coincidentally disconnected.
• It’s mandatory to closely follow this installation guide step-by-step. Even a small deviation may render your
precious device permanently unusable.
• Do not unplug your USB data carrier during the update process.
• Do not use any updates which are not expressively certified for your ZE-NC2010 (i.e. no updates from similar
models).
If you deviate from these step-by-step instructions, you will void your warranty and risk to brake your device.
In that case ZENEC will not take any responsibility.
Installation of the firmware updates:
The update software consists of three parts on three USB-sticks i.e. MCU, MPEG, application and IPod update.
Make absolutely sure that you install the separate software parts following the below mentioned installation sequence:
1. MCU 2. MPEG 3. Application
Caution: Ensure your cell phone is switched off during the entire update process – any bluetooth activities,
as bluetooth coupled phones receiving incoming calls, are prone to fatally interrupt the update
process.
1. Installation Part 1 MCU
a) Plug in the first USB data carrier labeled 1st „MCU update“ and choose USB as your data source.
b) The device will now confirm that is has found an MCU update software. Continue by pushing „Update“.
c) The update takes approximately five minutes. After finishing this step the device restarts automatically.
d) Remove that USB-stick from the media-link-box and continue with part two.

Installation Teil 2_MPEG
a) Plug in the second USB data carrier labeled 2nd „MPEG Update“ with your ZE-NC2010
and again choose USB as data source.
b) Now the unit should display a confirmation that it has found an MPEG software. Continue by
pushing „UPDATE“
c) This part of the update will approximately take two minutes. As a pitfall during this step, it is technically
not possibly to confirm this partial update (in case you never applied any update to your unit
before).
Therefore it is mandatory, that you let the second partial update run for at least two minutes.
If this is not a first time update your unit will, however, confirm the succesfull completion of the process
by displaying the respective on-screen message.
First time updaters will not see the message, but still have to restart the unit by switching it off and
on again.
d) Now remove the USB-stick from the media-link-box.
e) Load the factory defaults by pushing (Setup > Diverse > Zurücksetzen > Ja).
The unit is now in delivery condition. Re-adjust your local language and continue with part three.
3. Installation Part 3 -> Application
a) Connect the USB data carrier labeled 3rd „APP Update“ to your ZE-NC2010.
b) Go to the setup menu and choose „Misc“ from the menu. On page two (you reach it by pressing the arrow
in the lower left corner) choose „Software Update“ and confirm by pushing „YES“.
c) The unit will now confirm that is has found a new application software update.
Continue by pushing „UPDATE“.
d) This part of the update takes approximately 1.5 minutes.
The status of the process is displayed by a progress bar.
e) After finishing the update, switch the unit off.

4. Activation of the updates
a) Now reset the unit to factory defaults: (Setup → Misc →Load Factory → Yes).
Installation of the four software updates replaces the entire application software of the ZE-NC2010 and all
your previous custom adjustments will be lost. You will have to redo them manually.
b) We recommend to restore the AF function when in tuner mode.
d) This update won’t touch the bluetooth and CAN-bus part of the firmware, which have to be installed
separately if necessary.
5 Version check
After you applied all four software updates you need to perform a version check: (Setup > General > Page2 >
Version..........). Only the version numbers of MCU, MPEG and APPS are of interest.
The software status after succesfull updates should look like the following:
APP_V 2.88.5_0311_100129
MPG_V 2.1.88_0311_100126
MCU_V 2.2.72_0311_100129
The display of „ADP:….“ after the version number of the MCU signifies the software status of the CAN bus
interface. If any deviation from the above mentioned status should occur, you can fix it by reapplying the
respective part of the software. After doing so, reassure yourself by repeating the version check until you get
the desired result.
CAUTION :
If one or even more of the partial updates fail, you may encounter strange erratic behaviour of your
unit. Therefore version check and , in case of version check failure, reinstallation of the respective
firmware parts are absolutely mandatory.
Remark concerning password
If you changed the default code of the theft protection please note that this also has been reset to
factory defaults ( now you have to enter four times zero instead of your custom password).
Unlock
Depending on your previous software version, your device might lock itself after the MCU update
process. Don´t panic, that´s not a big deal: Try „0000“ to unlock and if that´s not going to help push
„SRC and“MUTE“ simultaneously until you get the onscreen message „ENTER SUPERCODE“.
Now type „123456“. Done.
