Unified Windows Utility and TGXL Firmware Releases – You must install the
Tuner Genius Utility v1.1.16 to upgrade the firmware in the Tuner Genius ATU.
When starting the updated TGXL Utility, once the ATU is shown in the Chooser,
if the ATU’s firmware is out of date, it will be displayed with a red
background and a firmware upgrade icon (see below). When selected, the
firmware upgrade dialog box is displayed to initiate the firmware update.

of the Tuner Genius Utility with new Tuner Genius firmware. Before
installing the latest release of the Tuner Genius Utility, you should remove
any previous versions of the Tuner Genius Utility from all PCs on your
network. Connecting an older version of the Tuner Genius Utility to a Tuner
Genius ATU can result in unexpected and unreliable behavior.

of the Tuner Genius Utility installer will automatically uninstall the
previous version of the Tuner Genius Utility.
