Special Tools
The following special tool is required to perform this repair:
| ➢ NPN | 16GB USB Flash Drive |
Service Procedure
- Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the radio update process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.
NOTE: Use an accurate stand-alone voltmeter. The battery charger volt meter may not be sufficiently accurate. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

- Push and hold the Front Defrost, Driver Temperature Up and Temperature Down buttons simultaneously until the Dealer Mode screen appears (approximately seven seconds). Release buttons.

NOTE: If the software cannot be downloaded, make sure you have proper security access. If not, have the Service Manager or Shop Foreman download the software update.
- Use a blank USB flash drive with at least 16GB of space. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the software files.
- Download the software update file to your local PC’s desktop. Make sure to select the “MAC” radio button for all downloads, regardless of the computer being used (Figure 3).
- Be sure to download the file to your designated folder before extracting the zip file to the blank USB flash drive.
NOTE: A blank USB flash drive will be needed for each radio update version; additional updates cannot be on the same USB flash drive. Once created it is recommended to label the USB flash drive with the recall number and proper radio Sales Codes.
- Extract the compressed folder to the desktop. Open the folder and drag and drop the VP4R_Update files to the USB flash drive. The flash drive should look like (Figure 4).
- Once the file is extracted to the USB flash drive, it is recommended to label the USB flash drive with the recall number and proper radio Sales Codes.
- Start the vehicle and insert the correct USB flash drive with new software into the USB port.
CAUTION: Make sure no other device is plugged into any of the USB ports while performing this re-program. If other devices are connected to USB ports during reprogramming, it may cause failure of files to be loaded which may cause the radio to need replacement.
- If the screen in (Figure 5) is displayed, the USB flash drive was not set up correctly. Use a top name brand USB flash drive like Kingston and create a new flash drive and start the update again.

NOTE: The completion indicator may not reach 100%, even though the software update has been completed. Once the software update has finished, the radio and display screen will turn off (Figure 9).
NOTE: Some display screens will not be displayed, if the ignition is turned off during the update.
- After the update has completed, the radio will shut down. With the USB flash drive still inserted in the USB port, turn the ignition back to the run position. If the radio has been updated correctly, the screen in Figure 10 will be displayed. Press “OK” and remove the USB flash drive (Figure 10).
