Cant Upgrade To Latest Firmware

Post by cgiltrow » March 24th, 2018, 7:19 am

Hi,
I have just bought a brand spanking new Concept2 Dynamic Indoor Rower. Well, I say brand spanking new. I always like to upgrade new devices to the latest firmware when I set them up. I went through the process with the new rower, only to discover that my "brand spanking new" rower has a hardware version of 415 and a datecode of 1132015. That means my "brand spanking new" rower is 3 years old! Surely this can't be? I can now only upgrade to the firmware version from 2016, and no further? I think this is the time to exercise that 30 days return policy.
Clinton.

I think you need to get a laptop with Concept2 Util 7.08.4 and a USB-A to USB-B printer cable.

That will let you upgrade the PM5 firmware to
  • Indoor rowers
    • Version 159 (released September 2017)
    • Version 25 (released September 2017)
  • SkiErgs
    • Version 859 (released September 2017)
    • Version 725 (released September 2017)
  • BikeErg
    • Version 319 (released December 2017)
Or PM4 firmware to
  • Indoor rowers—The current version that applies to your PM4 depends on the age of the monitor (see the Timeline page for more information):
    • Version 330 (released September 2017)
    • Version 29 (released November 2012)
  • SkiErgs—Version 730 (released September 2017)
