508 2016 SMEG update - 508

Hi, I had the same problem and resolved it. Let me tell you what to check and what steps to follow. This information will be helpful if you continue your research. First, you should update your software. My original JBL sound system was intermittently sounding, then it would turn itself off and on, and eventually, it wouldn't turn on at all. But don't worry, it's entirely software-related. There's a Magnetti Marelli device with a box that works on the back, resembling an old tape recorder. To access this box, press the edge of the JBL logo on the front control panel of the tape recorder. You'll see it open. There's a similar one on the other side. Once you open both, you'll see the screw holes. Remove the screws, and you'll access the back of the device. After disconnecting the cables, unscrew the small screws on the covers, and remove the cover, you'll see the SD card slot on the side where the small fan is. This SD card has been working for years, but it's likely corrupted and you'll lose sound due to a software error. Buy a new SD card. However, this device is programmed in such a way that simply transferring software files from your computer to an SD card won't work; it's a system-based device that installs its own software. A few things to keep in mind with an SD card: it shouldn't be larger than 8GB. When you insert it into your computer, Windows transfers its own files to it. However, since these files are system files, they're hidden and invisible. Once you insert it into your computer, you'll need to run the command file system to delete your "System Volume Information" files. Then, search online and find the RTE6 2.86 software. Copy this software to a newly formatted flash drive no larger than 16GB. Before removing the flash drive from your computer, delete the Windows system files again. Insert the newly purchased SD card into your device, screw the caps back on, and connect the device to the vehicle and connect the cables. Start your vehicle and insert the flash drive you prepared into the USB port, just like computers boot. Because your SD card is empty, the device is searching for a place to install the software. If you don't insert the flash drive, you'll hear it triggering a CD player every 10 seconds if you listen carefully. If you find a software CD, it installs from the CD. Don't turn off the vehicle until the software is installed, and to prevent it from switching to eco mode, also disable eco mode. The device will automatically install the software. This process takes about 25 minutes. You'll see text scrolling across a black screen. At the end of this process, you'll have updated the software. Afterward, if you have a JBL sound system, you won't hear any sound. This is because the software you installed doesn't yet know it needs to play through the amplifier. There are Mira script applications that include an activation key. Just like you did with the software, copy it to a flash drive and insert it into a USB port while the vehicle is running. Answer "NO" to the questions until you reach the AUDIO settings. When you reach the AUDIO settings, select YES until you reach sound output number 2. The questions will continue, and finally, it will restart. You won't hear any sound after this process. This is because your vehicle's main computer retains the old settings. After completing the resetting steps, your sound system will work. Disconnecting the battery terminal alone doesn't work to reset the computer. Follow these steps: Leave the driver's window open, close all doors, and turn off the engine. Pull the hood latch. After three minutes, the vehicle will go to sleep. You'll see all the interior lights turn off. If you disconnect the terminal before the vehicle goes to sleep, it remembers the last information and nothing changes. After three minutes, when it goes to sleep, lift the hood and remove the terminal. Wait three minutes there as well. Then, connect the terminal, but to soft-wake the vehicle, reach through the driver's window, which you left open, and turn on the parking lights. This is called a soft-wake, as they say that any action that activates all functions, such as starting the vehicle after disconnecting the terminals, could damage the vehicle. After this process, your vehicle's sound will return to normal. Long story short, three important points are: Software update. Adjusting the sound output to the correct setting with the activation software after the update. Finally, resetting the vehicle's computer. I hope this information is helpful.

Hello everyone, I have a 2016 sedan 508. Unfortunately, the maps in the navigation system are outdated. I did some research but couldn't find any definitive information about updating. There are different versions of SMEG, but I couldn't install it via USB. It says the USB could not be read. It also prompts me to go to the service center for an update, but the service centers don't have the latest version. There's also a web menu for online transactions, but the web browser there is also very old and useless. How can I update this system? I would be very grateful if anyone has any information. Have a good day. System Version: SMEG5.41.BR4 / CD26413 / DATE: 05.04.2016 Map Version: DvDw_325/Gr_413 / CD:26413 Bluetooth Version: 1.2.0 Screen Display Version: 32.00
