Just a word of warning.... as with any firmware update (phones, etc.) there is a risk that you may render your device useless. I attempted to update my SMH10 ealier this month (to v4.1.1 - not a beta) and managed to brick it. ie. it was as functional as a brick. It's now winging its way back from California after SENA fixied it under warranty. Cost me a) shipping, b) time, and c) stress.... particularly with the rally coming up. I was lucky to have bought a dual set. I think it was some driver incompatibility with Vista (yes - I need a new PC).

The primary reason for the upgrade was to better support the phone/music interplay with my new Garmin GPS.

when was that released

[Brock]

I got the same email today.

[saaz]

Today as well.  I might leave the beta one for the moment as the functions are not things I would use anyway.

If you purchased through Mr Mobile, he keeps spares in case you have a breakdown. If you report a problem, he sends out a replacement straight up as long as you send the broke unit. I updated today and the upgrade works well.

Sena have decided that you will be able to share your music with pillion or another rider with paired unit in range.
