How to update the software on the Lynx 10.25” touchscreen display

This winter, we want to help you reach your peak of fun – this starts with figuring out touchscreen updates. The Lynx 10.25” touchscreen display offers an ever-growing array of capabilities that elevate your snow adventures – especially when combined with the BRP GO! app. Did you know its features are also designed to make your snowmobile experience easier than ever? One of the ways it does this is letting you update the software in the display anywhere you’ve got an internet connection. Let’s look at how these over-the-air (OTA) updates work.

Why should you update the 10.25” Touchscreen Display?

The 10.25” display has Wi-Fi connectivity to connect to your home network or any other wireless internet connection, and update the software running your snowmobile screen. 

Just like for your mobile devices, you can update the advanced technology in your display to add new features, interface improvements, security updates and more. With the built-in Wi-Fi capability, you can update your snowmobile display to the latest version from the comfort of your home without going to the dealership.

How do I update my Lynx 10.25” Display?

Update your display quickly and easily with these steps.

Important information before updating the software of the display
 

• Do not update while driving.

• With the OTA update tool (SKU 515179997), display software updates can occur without starting the engine (the screen will power up and remain visibly on until you unplug it).

• Without the OTA update tool, ensure the display remains powered even if the engine is off.

• Ensure adequate vehicle battery charge before proceeding. To avoid interruptions due to low battery, we advise using a charger during the update.

STEP 1: Connect your display to a Wi-Fi network

a) On the main Applet menu, select “Preferences,” and then “Wi-Fi” from the list on the left.

b) Then select “Add New Network,” find the network you’d like to connect to from the list that appears on screen, and enter the password.

*If no Wi-Fi network is available near the vehicle, you can share your smartphone cellular network by hotspot (here's how to do it for Apple and Android devices). Just note cellular data fees may apply.
*The 10,25'' touchscreen display will only connect to a secured network
