Software updates

Post by bindolus »



Anyone knows how to get into the screen to check if the bike already had software updates installed??

I just bought a used 2018 DCT tour, I know uploading GPS software can take a while and I don't want to do it if it's already installed..

Your help is appreciated

1. Go here: https://powersports.honda.com/goldwing/ ... index.html
2. Find the phrase "Want to know if you already have the latest version? Just click here."
3. Click there, and read the pop-up. That will walk you through the steps to display the version installed on your bike, and it also gives you the "current" version number. If your version is less than the "current" version, then you might want to consider going through the download/update process.

PS: This may or may not be a quicker way to verify, but check to see if you can change the color of the Navi screens. If you can, you're probably running the up-to-date version - I believe the ability to change color was part of the most recent update, which was released in mid-2020.
