Fusion Stereo Software upgrade

[jpichler]

I just purchased the Fusion BT200 Bluetooth adapter that connects to the Sirius interface on my 700 allowing me to stream music over Bluetooth to my stereo from either a tablet or phone, the software version required on my radio for it to recognize this new adapter is FusionLink 1.20 and I am currently running 1.0.

I went to Fusion's website on the software update page but it was woefully inadequate, so the question is, has anyone ever updated the software on your Fusion stereo head unit?

Does this help http://www.fusionelectronics.com/marine/siriusxm-update or have you already gone down this path ?

This is what I did eight months ago and all works perfect.
I contacted Fusion by email with the link in the previous post. Promptly they sent out the new cable and a USB Flash Drive with the latest update to install.
The Fusion 700 is " Sirius Ready" and does not have a satellite tuner. So, I went to Best Buy and picked up a Vehicle tuner kit and installed with the new cable from Fusion. Placing the auto antenna on my dash has worked perfect and I have not needed an outside antenna. I just laid it on the dash and it stays in place, I have never lost a signal.

The tuner is at your local store.
Model: SXV200V1
SKU: 4910475

Hope this helps. I don't have a Bluetooth option yet.

We've not updated the software on our Fusion 600 however like jpichier we recently added a Fusion MS-BT 100 Bluetooth Module to our Fusion 600 so we could use the music from our iPod remotely. We found when we inserted the iPod into the Fusion that the iPod would overheat, which was not good for the iPod. With the Bluetooth adaptor we can use multiple devices for our music playing, adjust the speaker volume and song choice remotely thereby making the enter Fusion system more user friendly.

Note we have a Fusion 600 which uses the Fusion MS-BT 100 whereas jpichier has the newer Fusion 700 which he used a Fusion BT 200 with.

Also have the same fusion 600 in the cutwater and found this blue tooth adapter for cheap money.
