ok.. after Nov 1st this program will stop for about 2 weeks. then i will be able to get more done untill around Late Dec. After that it looks like this program will finish up and end.
So if your on the fence nows time. If your one of the many that have had this done . Speek up and let the others know its not that bad.
..
So again. I will stop taking any HU's or DVDs on the 1st of Nov ! ..
I still have a New Bose HU with Firm ware 9.67 for someone that needs it.. HotPot?

how are you upgradeing the HU's? I only ask since my ICElink that I've currently installed gets audio going, but the steering wheel controls don't work and I'm about ready to just send the damned thing back since it doesn't work to spec, I have the9.55 firmware and the 2.2 firmware on the iPod I was just curiosu as to how you actually upgraded the firmware of the HU's
Only a few more days left for this untill December .. who still needs there HU upgraded .. speak now or for ever hold your frimware ver 9.53 .. yuck

The Upgrade program will stop for about 3 weeks. Starting on Nov 3rd. It will resume in the last week of Nov. IF you cannot get the HU to my NY address by then, you will have to wait untill the alst week of Nov.
I hope that helps. I do still have a New 9.67 Bose Head unit Forsale. if someone's in a real pinch and you have a Bose unit we can work something out.
