TONE: This sets the frequency of the Control Knob audible 'click', and allows the user to make a
selection based on personal preference or vehicle cabin noise.
SPD CNT VOL: This allows the switch volume to increase as you drive faster. The OFF, LOW,
MID, and HIGH settings change how much the volume increases at a given speed.
BACK: Exit SWITCH and return to MAIN-SYSTEM menu

UPDATE (Themes, Operational SW, Start Image)

The MAIN-SYSTEM-UPDATE sub-menu is used to update the GRAFIX system while it remains
installed in the vehicle. Update files can include newly released operational software or updated
theme information downloaded or received from Dakota Digital. A user defined 'custom' start
image can also be downloaded and used in placed of the default 'GRAFIX' image that is seen
when the GRAFIX system is powered on.
Note: If a thumb drive is not detected in the UPDATE port on the Control Box, the MAIN-
SYSTEM-UPDATE menu item will be grayed out and will be inaccessible by the user. Also
as mentioned previously, the term DISP# referenced here and on the GRAFIX Instrument
Cluster, refers to a specific TFT in the GRAFIX system configuration.
• With the key in either the On or OFF position, insert the thumb drive with the required
GRAFIX files in to the UPDATE port on the Control Box
• With the key in the ON position and the GRAFIX system in Normal Operation, tap the knob
• The MAIN MENU will be displayed, rotate knob to SYSTEM, tap to select
• The sub-menu list: LAYOUTS, DISPLAY, INFO, SWITCH, UPDATE, and BACK will be
displayed in menu box. When the thumb drive is detected, notice that the MAIN-SYSTEM-
UPDATE sub-menu item is not 'grayed out', and is user selectable
• Rotate the Control Knob to UPDATE, tap to select
• The sub-menu list will be displayed: AUTO UPD, THEME LOAD, START IMAGE,
MANUAL UPD, BOOT TEST, and BACK. Rotate the knob to the desired operation, tap to
select
Note: If a thumb drive is detected, but no GRAFIX update files are found, the 'NO
UPDATE FILES FOUND' message will be displayed.
AUTO UPD (Auto Update): This selection is used to check if newer GRFX files are on the
installed thumb drive. By selecting AUTO UPD, if files found on the GRAFIX system are older
than the files found on the thumb drive, then the TFT modules (DISP1, DISP2, etc.) with these
deviations will be listed. The user can rotate the Control Knob to a specific DISP# module in the
list and then 'tap' the knob to update that DISP module. Notice that as the user rotates through
the DISPs in the update list, the corresponding TFT display on the GRAFIX Instrument Cluster will
be highlighted. Depending on the selected module and the file size, this update can take a few
minutes. When the DISP update has completed, the GRAFIX will reboot, and the updated DISP
will no longer be highlighted or selectable in the AUTO UPD list. The user can then proceed to
the next DISP until all are updated with the newer files found on the thumb drive.
THEME LOAD: Selecting THEME LOAD will bring up a list of themes that were found on the
thumb drive. After selecting a theme from this thumb drive list, a list of the 4 themes stored on the
GRAFIX will be displayed, numbered 1-4. The user can then select which GRAFIX theme to
replace with the file selected from the thumb drive. When the theme to replace is selected, the
system will update all the DISPs with that theme.
Note: Loading a full theme can take several minutes to complete. Be patient, and keep the
system powered up until it is finished.
