Select UPDATE. If the UPDATE button appears grayed out, there is no update currently available for your system
Note: Updates are released in batches, so not all users receive updates at the same time. It can take up to 2 weeks from a release date before the latest update is available for your system.
If you're experiencing issues with an update, you can update manually by following the steps below.
You will need a USB A to Micro USB cable to perform these steps.
Updates for your SoundTouch system can be done through the SoundTouch wireless adapter
Select your system below to download the update file
At the prompt, click SAVE to save the Update.stu file to your desktop (do not rename the file). If you do not see the prompt, the file may have downloaded automatically. Look for the Update.stu file in the footer or header of your browser’s window, or in your Downloads folder
Using your web browser, go to http://203.0.113.1:17008/update.html
Note: This link will only work if your system is powered on and connected to a USB jack on your computer.
In the file selection window, find and select the Update.stu file you downloaded in step 2. Once selected, the file name appears in the field to the right of the "CHOOSE FILE" button
Click "UPLOAD" and wait while the update installs:
A progress bar in the browser window will show the update status
