Has anyone performed the software update on a 2020 or newer bike? I downloaded the update and was gong to do it this weekend. Just wondering if anyone had tackled it yet and their experience. Below is the link to the update for those interested....

Honda Africa Twin Update

Wow, thanks for this link!

i have went through all the instructions and it was easy to install. I just need a head set now so as all is working i think. is there a particular head set that would be recommended?

It is a piece of cake the installatie took 10-15 min. I use a usb extension cable with a 512mb usb stick format FAT32

Yeah, this was covered in the threads for "Android Auto" a while back. It was an incredibly easy install. It seems to have improved the performance of Carplay a bit, and also the sound of a call on the receiver's side - not on my side, but I'm spoiled as the Cardo units are just so damned clear. Carplay just gets in the way.

As with all things like this, I blame Apple.

I did it this weekend and the only problem I had was the USB drive would not fully "seat" into the USB slot. I tried 2 different drives - before I used a USB extension cord. Then it went as planned. The USB drives were not quite the same depth as a standard USB to Lightning (standard Apple cord) and would not "connect" for me. Once I used the extension cable the same USB drive worked perfectly. Your mileage may vary!!!

I see your from UK, I noticed its an update from a u.s site. It didn't mess up your firmware or anything about the bike did it. I'm curious as I've only just got the bike and want Android auto but all eu websites say to go visit your honda dealer.

I had it done in about 10 to 15 minutes and no problems whatsoever. I think it is a matter of having the right usb stick Mine was 8gb, just one i had lying around. Piece of cake'. My bike was also brand new with about 150 miles on her at the time.

Honda Africa Twin Update

Performed the update upon taking delivery of my ATAS. Strange that it was delivered with the old 2.80. You need a very slim USB memory stick to fit in the slot. It added Android Auto but unfortunately AA won't connect to my Huawei P30. It works with other phones including my old P20 Pro so it is some issue with the P30.

I know this thread is a little old. But just wanted add another +1 for successfully performing the update on my 2021 bike. It came from Honda with v.2.80 (I think) and now I'm at v3.10.

Like some others have mentioned, finding a thumb drive that will fit into the port on the fairing was tricky and an extension cable may make it easier. Total time about 10 minutes.

 

[supertux1]

I just got brand new 2021 ATAS DCT and it came with 2.80, successfully updated to 3.10.

 

[benspray]

Wish me luck, just picked up a new bike with 2.60 on it (UK) and about to try the 3.10 update

edit: all done easy as as others have said I had to use an extension cable but went on in a few minutes.

 

[MartyHabs]

Also installed it on a 2020 and followed the instructions. Worked like a charm.

Awesome Marty - and welcome to the Forum! (even if you do have the string "Habs" in your username, bah! ).

Question: Do you ride your AT in the winter time?

 

[Phil 1972]

Definitely use a USB extension cable. Most USB sticks are too big to fully press in. I tried about 4 times with no luck at all until I used the extension lead, then it worked first time and took about 10 minutes. The update is fantastic!!

 

[markv8]

Update completed no issues. Thanks

 

[TexRick]

Wow... I wish my update had gone as smoothly as most of yours seemed to go. I have a 21 ATAS that was at system 2.80. I used 3 different USB cards from older to USB 3.0. I tried extension cable and without. I used a Windows computer and a Mac. About 10 different tries and it would never start. I had decided that I would have to go to the dealer and have them try. As a last resort I went into the General Settings and did a 'restore default' and it worked afterwards. I don't know if that was the answer but if anyone else is having this issue it might be worth a try.
Now I hope that fixes the constant Apple Carplay disconnects I'm having. I'll let you know when I have a chance to try it out again.

@Rick Hardy Man, sorry to hear you had such troubles with the update. Glad to hear in the end you were able to get it to successfully install.

I'm about to pick up a 2020 CRF1100 (non AS). Should I have the dealer install the update prior to taking delivery?
