SERVICE BULLETIN: Embedded Map GPS Download & Update Procedure for 10.25" Display

[caper11]

My battery is the original on my 2023.
A charger that has over 2A and a maintain mode works the best to supply a consistent voltage like the Budds system. If the voltage drops below the required setpoint it will delay the download. The dongle works way better at speeding up the updates. For those of you that installed the latest update, and the gauge still shows updates required. Once that disappears you will have to redownload the maps. My dealer was able to get rid of it by hooking up to their wifi, budds showed everything was up to date.

Nevermind, it finally came back to life and I have the "maps" avail for download now in the dash.......... why is this SOOOOOOOOOOO slow... do not blame it on my internet or wifi.. I parked my truck 20 feet from the room in my house that has the wifi router. I get 300mbps over wifi to my phone. the sled must be getting like 1mbps.

Yes, it is very slow.

The original battery in these sleds just doesn't have much longevity. I limped mine through the end of last season with the intent of installing a new one for this season. You should start this process with verifying your battery is good and fully charged. I was successful after installing a new full charged battery, applying a battery tender for increase assurance and intently monitoring the gauge to keep it active. It took me about 20 -25 minutes to download the updated software and 10 minutes or so to install it. After installation you have to download your desired regional maps.

SO WHATS A GREAT REPLACEMENT BATTERY?

Who’s map did you use Geo?

 

[snow-doo]

Pick them out from the list on the screen.There is a whole bunch of them.

I managed to eventually get the update to install, and got both the oregon and idaho maps downloaded.

But @christopher has a good point. lol what battery should I get? this one is titts up after a year. wont hold a charge ... but all it needs to do is run the gauge... doesn't need to be doing anything else.

 

[KTMDirtFace]

Oh also.. yep mine says update ready but i already have it....what is up with that? I don't really care that much at this point tif its telling me i need to update to a thing its already updated too. seems like a bug.

 

[Driver]

Do I need the dongle that keeps the gauge from turning off?

If I remember right, you can just jump pins 3&5 with wire and it does the same thing as this dongle does. I can check when I get to the garage.

 

[Paul G]

Please elaborate I need to do this also, can you show where this is located and which wires exactly? thanks

 

[snow-doo]

It is located behind the recoil panel.Take the panel off and it is just above the recoil handle.Don’t know which pins you jump.Loaded mine with a battery tender and made sure the guage didn’t cancel out

 

[snopro11]

Will the trail maps load when the trails open? I thought that was how it worked with phone map app brp go.

 

[Paul G]

Success, I made my own jumper and now I don't get prompted to update.

 

[caper11]

Success, I made my own jumper and now I don't get prompted to update.

So the jumper fixed that and you didn’t do anything else? I suspected not having the dongle was triggering that update message somehow.

 

[Paul G]

yes, the gauges have to stay on longer than they will without the dongle. the gauge update was pretty quick but holy cow the maps took like 30 minutes

 

[snow-doo]

Dongle doesn’t cause anything but keeping the guage on

 

[caper11]

Exactly, that prevents the download from being interrupted, unless someone reports that this glitch happens with the budds or a dongle.

 

[KTMDirtFace]

SO WHATS A GREAT REPLACEMENT BATTERY?

Still looking, I don't know...

Most of them are all starter batteries. which I don't need.

I got the update to finally install and the Oregon and Idaho maps downloaded. It still is telling me there is an update when there isn't though like other people got here.

 

[WinterMountaineer]

... It still is telling me there is an update when there isn't though like other people got here.

I have 2 sleds with the big screen. Put new batteries in both. Both say they have the 3.0.1 update.

One sled continually says 'install update', and will sometimes even redownload the software. Endless loop.

 

[Paul G]

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the update; it will not download properly without keeping the gauges powered up. You need to use the dongle, jumper the pins or take it to the dealer.
