INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPDATING THE RCC SOFTWARE SYSTEM

1) PREPARING YOUR USB STICK

Tip:
• We recommend using a USB stick with a minimum 16 GB capacity.
(Some mapping updates requires a 32 GB capacity.)
• The USB stick must be empty and formatted to FAT32. If you are
unsure of how to proceed, here is how to format your USB stick to
FAT32

Caution:
• Reinitialise the USB key before downloading any updates.
Formatting it erases any files present on the USB key

For Microsoft Windows users:


• Insert the USB key into the computer
• Run File Explorer (press the "Windows" and "E" keys simultaneously)
• Right-click the removable disk involved
• Left-click "Format"
• Check the "File System": FAT32 (default)
• Left-click "Start"

For Apple users:


• Plug the USB stick into your computer.
• Open the “Disk Utility” app in the “Utilities” folder in the “Apps”
folder.
• Select your USB stick in “External”.
• Select the “MS DOS (FAT)” format and “Master Boot Record (MBR)”.
• Left click on “Delete”.

NB: The system files generated on the USB stick by Apple when you plug
it into your Mac may disrupt its later use in your vehicle. To solve this
problem, we recommend you use the CleanMyDrive app available free at
the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/cleanmydrive-
2/id523620159?mt=12 )

2) DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE (30' or more depending on internet speed)

To update the software of your system, you need to download two files:
• - The software update, compressed in .tar format:

EX :

• The license file, which has a *.key extension:

EX :

NB : The file download time of these files on your computer may range from several tens of
minutes to several hours depending on your internet connection (equipment, speed).

Once you have downloaded the files on your computer, you need to extract the files from the .tar
folder to be copied on to your USB stick.

3) UNZIPPING THE DOWNLOADED FILE

Here is how to unzip the required files from the .tar file downloaded on your computer:

For Microsoft Windows users:

• Right-click on the file and select your unzip tool (e.g. 7 Zip) and click on “Extract here” to save
the files on your computer.

If you don’t have an unzip tool, we recommend that you install 7 Zip on your computer beforehand
(http://www.7-zip.org/download.html )

For Apple users:

• We recommend you use the “Unarchiver” app available free at the App Store
(https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12)

The extraction will generate an SWL folder on your computer containing the update files, as well
as an “UpdateInfo.xml” file, which you will not need later.

4) COPYING THE FILES ON TO YOUR USB STICK:

You now need to copy the extracted files on to your USB stick:

- Copy the extracted “rcc_update” file to the USB stick.


- Create a “License” folder on your USB stick (please use this exact spelling) and copy your *.key
format license file into it.

The file tree of your USB stick must be consistent with the following:
