You're done!

Once you've reassembled the glove compartment, you're set to enjoy your MediaBridge.

 

I've decided to run the USB extension cable that came with the MediaBridge to the glove compartment, and to connect it to the iPhone cable there. This way, I have the option of instead attaching a USB stick if I ever feel the need to, but I can also use it to charge my phone while commuting, whenever I'm not using a USB stick (most of the time).

 

I'm also running the Aux cable to the glove compartment, just in case a passenger with a non-Apple/non-A2DP device wants to share some of their tunes with me.

 

Finally, DICE/Audiovox recommend not installing the MediaBridge in a hard to reach location (what I just did, hehe). The main reason for this: changing the DIP switch settings (but that should only be necessary once), and upgrading the firmware. So I ran an old USB-MiniUSB cable that came with a digital camera to the glove compartment. It's long enough so I can attach it to my laptop whenever an update is released. Our WiFi reaches the driveway, so updating will be easy.

 

FIRMWARE UPDATES:

 

I've since successfully updated the Firmware using this cable. It is probably easiest to do so after disconnecting the car's battery temporarily.

 

My findings:

1) The firmware updater only finds the MB while it is sleeping (ignition off for 30+ seconds) or unplugged

2) After the firmware update, the MB still needs to be power cycled, to properly reboot (unplug or disconnect battery)

Done
