Am I wrong?
Yes - but you need a subscription to access the TIS2 site (which the above poster also mentioned). Either way - here's how you download the software:

Dealerships will need to purchase a USB flash drive in order to use this new method for future USB programming events. The USB flash drive should have:

· A USB 2.0 interface or better
· A minimum capacity of 512 MB
· No other files installed on the drive prior to calibration download
· No installed security software


By programming through the USB port, the programming time is reduced, which is critical when many of the update files for the navigation systems are 10 to 50 MB in size. Using the conventional pass thru programming method to update files of this size can take up to three hours.



TIS2WEB-to-USB

TIS2WEB has been updated to include a feature to allow you to download programming to a USB flash drive. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Service Information and the Techline Information System (TIS) terminal.

TIP: All data on the USB flash drive will be erased BEFORE the TIS2WEB-to-USB flash drive download process. Transfer any data from the USB flash drive to another approved data storage drive before attempting to download a calibration from TIS2WEB.

On the TIS terminal, the appropriate calibration can be downloaded onto the USB flash drive from the Supported Controllers screen. (Fig 13)

Once the calibration is selected, the USB flash drive should be inserted into the USB port on the computer. After selecting the USB drive, the calibration will be downloaded to the USB flash drive. (Fig. 14)

TIP: Click the Refresh button if the USB drive is not selectable in the Available USB Drives box.

Once the "Remove the USB stick" message is displayed, the files have been successfully downloaded and the USB flash drive can be removed from the computer.



USB Programming

When using a USB flash drive in a vehicle, it is not a TIS2WEB programming event.

Refer to the appropriate Service Information, bulletin or PI for complete USB programming instructions, including maintaining a battery charge during programming.

Once the USB flash drive is inserted into the USB port on the vehicle, the navigation/audio system detects the software on the USB flash drive. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the programming procedure. (Fig. 15) Also complete any other related procedures to ensure the navigation system and/or audio system controls function properly after programming.

Once programming is completed on one vehicle, the software on the USB flash drive can be used for all other vehicles involved in a bulletin or repair procedure. Otherwise, the calibration can be deleted from the USB flash drive and used for future USB programming events.
