Download Firmware Updates to Install on Your Own?

[lucashend]

Hi guys,

I stupidly touched things in the diagnostic menu (Brightness + Power + Menu for 2 seconds) and now the LaneWatch camera is not working. Comes up with a red screen that says "Aiming Failed". I have an appointment with the dealer in a few days so they can essentially reinstall the firmware and re-aim the LaneWatch camera.

This got me thinking, has anyone found a place to download firmware updates, put them on a flash drive, and install them yourself? Anyone work for a dealer and knows the process for electronic/technical issues, and where/how the dealer gets a solution?

Surely Honda is thinking of little else but cases like this in not making that option available.

Honda isn't even trusting the dealers to do this.
For the single update that's been issued so far they are sending USB drives to the dealerships.

Short answer: Nope for now. Nope for later.

You can re aim it yourself. People on the pilot forum use the same method and they were successful.

I saw that, but it's a pain and I live in an apartment so I don't really have the means to go out in my parking lot and do it
