Interface Update: Notes

2001 BMW 325Ci 2D Convertible, AutomaticSECTION Notes

Interface update can only be selected if the selected interface is not being used by another device (interface symbol has a green background).

This function allows the firmware of the interface to be checked against the version of the SSS.

It is recommended that the version of the SSS and the Interface be at the same level to reduce susceptibility to errors and system conflicts.

The SSS will check which firmware version is installed in the interface and then searches for the newest available version on the SSS. Depending on the result of the search, Progman will make a recommendation as to what action should be taken.

  • If both versions are equal no action is required.
  • If the version on the SSS is newer then Progman will suggest updating the version on the interface.
  • If the version on the SSS is older, Progman is able to change the version on the interface to the older one.

Once the update is successfully completed a corresponding message is displayed.
