To upgrade your firmware, download ALL files for your head unit brand, and
unzip them into the PHTSYS partiton.
It should go without saying that this is not the supported way to upgrade
your PhatBox. If you have problems downloading and unzipping files, please
use the supported PhatNoise Music Manager in Windows to upgrade your
firmware.
