How to update Alpine ICS-X8 Firmware

March 4, 2014 — Link

My Alpine ICS-X8 media player got old Firmware. Here is help to update it.

You can get Firmware files here: http://www.audiohellman.fi/alpine/2-din-soittimet/vanhat-mallit-2/ics-x8 ( download here new firmware version 1.400 (07/2013) )
Format USB drive to FAT32 (MS DOS) Then Unzip folder in ROOT.

In Europe that folder name is RAAG005A

Make sure in ROOT got only that one folder.
Go to your car and add USB drive to USB Connect ( you got 2 of those)
Then Alpine ask for you, Update now ? OK or CANCEL. Press OK, and wait about 15 minutes

When update is ready, Alpine reboot and you can take USB Drive off.
If you use iPhone 5 /5C, now you can use App called Aha Radio (from Appstore)
