DataDisplay NextGen Updates
Notice:
If the download does not start (e.g. Google Chrome) - right-click on the download link and select "Save link as...".
Other browsers may report a warning, of course these are not dangerous files.
Do not copy the files into a folder with special characters in their names! So it doesn't work on the desktop if the username contains a special character.
E.g. ÓóÉé etc.
Otherwise an error message appears when opening the update file.
Important:
This cable is NOT for updating. To update, the display must be connected to the junction-box (with the cable shown), and the micro-USB cable is connected to the junction-box, which is then connected to the PC.
Install drivers (only needs to be done once on each computer):
Only connect the display to the computer after installing the driver.
Download and unzip the driver package.
Best on e.g. "C:\NextGen_usb_driver", problems can arise if the path is too long or there are spaces in the path.
Run zadig_2.2.exe
Under "Device" click on "Load Preset Device".
Select the "ak-motion.cfg" which is also in the driver archive
If your own picture does not differ from the one shown here, click on "Install Driver".
The AK-Motion NextGen Updater:
Unzip NextGen-Updater.zip
Start AK-NG-Updater.exe
Click on "Settings.." and change "Interface selection:" to "XCP on USB".
Confirm with OK
This setting is saved once it has been made.
The Update:
Download and unzip the update file. (found below)
Start NextGen updater.
Connect the USB cable from the DataDisplay to the computer.
Click on "Browse.." and select the update file.
If an error message appears here, the update file is in a folder or path with invalid characters. Copy directly to e.g. C:\ so that it works.
The NextGen updater now waits until the DataDisplay allows the update.
Start the update with the update button under "Settings - System":
-
The backlight of the DataDisplay shows whether the display is in bootloader mode or an update is currently running.
When the update is finished, the updater will close by itself.
Alternative start of the update:
If the display can no longer be operated for any reason (incomplete or faulty update), the update process can also be started as follows:
In the E series, the junction box must be disconnected from the vehicle so that the voltage only comes from the computer.
With F-series ignition from the vehicle.
Start the update as described above with the NextGen updater.
Connect the USB cable to the computer, remove it again within 5 seconds and reconnect it.
As soon as the NextGen Updater starts with "Erasing..." the update is running. If necessary, unplug and plug in the cable again.
The updates usually take 25-30 minutes.
"STREET LEGAL" in the file name means that no exhaust flap control is possible in this software.
Only the latest update has to be installed, even if there are several versions between the current and the new version.
