Part Description: RHR Radio Issue Description: Issue 1: While performing RHR radio reflash (software update), on rare occasions, the flash can fail to properly update the radio resulting in the radio running in Emergency IFS mode.

To assist in the verification that the radio is running Emergency IFS perform the following:~ 1. Power on radio~2. Press MENU H/K~3. Press System Setup S/K~4. Press Manage HDD S/K~5. Press Display Available Space on HDD S/K~6. When running Emergency IFS, all items under Used, Available, and Capacity report as dashes~ Issue 2: If you are having troubles connecting a phone or a MP3 player, try removing the battery on the device and then going through the pairing/connection procedure again. If you cannot remove the battery on the device, perform a reboot. Each manufacturer has a different series of buttons to hold down to perform a reboot. If the problem still persists, try the device on another like vehicle with the same radio.

For MP3 players and media storage devices, only .wma, .aac, .mp3, .sacd, .jpeg & .jpg files are supported.
