Installed the core and 57mm butterfly display today. Upgrade to 2.79 went smooth. Tried to upgrade the butterfly display to 3.01 from the core. Negative on the butterfly upgrade. The release notes say it does update from the core. I could not find any special procedures. The website says version 2..8 should also upgrade the butterfly directly from core.. so maybe the next release. Antenna's mounted on glare shield of V2. Let me know if anyone wants some pics installation.

Just tried updating the Butterfly display again with update file in the root of the USB Stick connected to the core. (I am not using the Butterfly update cable).

I tried first by just turning on the core. No update on the Butterfly.

I next tried holding the knob in on the butterfly display and then turning on the CORE unit with USB stick connected. The Butterfly display said "UPDATE Mode" and scrolled across the screen "Wsiting" . Nothing happened after 10 minutes of waiting.

Now the display does show 3.0

Is my procedure right?
