Update Your Gold Wing
Connect USB Drive
Connect the USB drive containing the downloaded file to your motorcycle. Gold Wing Airbag models have the USB connector located in the trunk; all other Gold Wing models have the connector located in the center storage compartment in front of the seat.
Find the Update Screen
Turn your bike’s ignition switch twice to the right to engage the ACC position, and double-click the ignition knob on the dash. Within one minute, a message should come up on your dashboard screen: “Do you want to update?”
Select Update
Use the four-way key switch on your left handlebar cluster to navigate the menu to “Yes”, and press “Enter” in the center of the four-way switch.
Start Installation
The installation may take as long as an hour, but may be shorter depending on the update and region. The screen will show you approximately how much of the download has completed. Your Gold Wing’s ignition switch must remain in the ACC position for the entire duration of the update. Do not start your motorcycle.
Continue Installation
Towards the end of the update, the screen may show “99 percent complete” for several minutes. This is normal; let the system finish completely.
Complete Installation
When the installation is complete, the initial screen appears again and will ask if you want to update the system. Select “No” and remove the USB drive.

Note that updating your navigation system overwrites your favorites and history, and resets your “beep” volume to the default value. Updating the system will not affect XM/FM presets.
